The Yellow Turtle Unveils an Experimental Pan-Asian Gourmet Experience

The Yellow Turtle Unveils an Experimental Pan-Asian Gourmet Experience

The Yellow Turtle introduces an imaginative new culinary chapter with an experimental Pan-Asian gourmet experience that brings together the soul of Asia’s iconic street food cultures and refined contemporary dining aesthetics. A unique narrative element to the experience, the menu has been conceptualized around the adventurous journey of The Yellow Turtle mascot – Turtle, symbolizing a flavourful voyage across Asia after five years. Inspired by comforting South-East Asian bowls and street-style favourites, the restaurant reimagines these iconic dishes with its own signature twist — blending nostalgia, innovation, and contemporary culinary craftsmanship into every plate. Drawing inspiration from the bustling food alleys of Bangkok, the dimsum houses of Guangzhou, the robata grills of Tokyo, the wok-fired kitchens of Jakarta, and the vibrant bao stalls of Taiwan, the newly curated menu transforms authentic Asian inspirations into elevated signature creations through bold flavours, artistic plating, and immersive presentation styles.

At the centre of this inventive menu is the restaurant’s signature creation — the Charcoal Cheese Dimsum in Thai Green Curry, an extraordinary fusion of Cantonese dimsum craftsmanship and the aromatic depth of Central Thai curry culture. Delicate charcoal-infused dim sums filled with molten cheese and exotic vegetables are paired with a luxurious Thai green curry slow-simmered using fresh basil, kaffir lime, lemongrass, and coconut milk. The smoky softness of the dimsums melts seamlessly into the herbaceous curry, creating layers of creamy, spicy, and fragrant flavours.
Price – ₹375

Another standout creation is the Kushiyaki Grills Selection, available in mushroom, tofu, chicken, and pork variants, inspired by the lively robata grills and yakitori alleys of Tokyo. Flame-kissed over open charcoal grills and repeatedly glazed with house-made teriyaki or spicy hoisin-miso lacquer, these skewers develop deep caramelised edges and rich smoky umami flavours. The theatrical presentation on a wooden platter with jasmine rice, house salad, and live charcoal fire further enhances the immersive dining experience.
Price – Starting from ₹375

The Turtle’s Spinach Mushroom Pizzette reflects a beautiful fusion of rustic Italian pizzette culture and modern Asian café indulgence. Crafted on a delicate house batter base, the mini pizzette is layered with creamy mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, roasted peppers, broccoli, and zucchini before being baked until bubbling and lightly crisp. For non-vegetarian diners, a barbecue chicken variation adds another layer of indulgence to this comforting café favourite. Blending wholesome European flavours with The Yellow Turtle’s signature café-style creativity, the dish offers a rich, satisfying experience designed for both comfort and indulgence.
Price – Starting from ₹385

One of our guests’ all-time favourite dishes, Nasi Goreng, now arrives with The Yellow Turtle’s own signature twist. Inspired by the bustling street markets of Jakarta, this iconic Indonesian-style fried rice is wok-tossed over roaring flames to achieve authentic wok hei, bringing out its irresistible smoky aroma and depth of flavour. Infused with rich sauces, fragrant aromatics, and bold seasonings, the dish perfectly balances sweet, spicy, and savoury notes. Served alongside glazed chicken yakitori and freshly made prawn crackers, The Yellow Turtle’s Nasi Goreng recreates the vibrant essence of Indonesia’s legendary night food culture with a contemporary gourmet touch.

The Selection of Street Style Baos draws inspiration from the energetic street stalls of Taiwan and China. These soft, cloud-like baos are available with tempura vegetables, fried tofu, signature mushrooms, slow-cooked chicken, shrimp, or pork fillings. Layered with Asian spices, chilli paste, oyster sauce, and soy reduction, each bao balances fluffy textures with smoky richness and fiery flavours. Served in a classic street style format in custom paper boxes with customized paper.
Price – Starting from ₹295

The Sesame Prawn Dumpling celebrates the refined seafood dim sum traditions of Guangzhou with hand-folded dumplings filled with delicately seasoned fresh river prawns and steamed until translucent. Finished with toasted sesame and aromatic oils, the dumplings offer silky textures and juicy seafood richness. Served on banana leaf over black Szechwan sauce and accompanied by customised peanut sauce, the dish combines elegance with bold flavour contrasts.
Price – ₹455

For lovers of Southeast Asian flavours, the Fried Tofu Cake captures the fragrant essence of Thai herb kitchens. Silken tofu blended with kaffir lime, aromatic herbs, and spices is pan-seared to a crisp golden crust and paired with signature takrai sauce, delivering bright citrus notes and herb-forward complexity inspired by authentic Southeast Asian street-side cooking.
Price – ₹415

Introducing one of Fisherman Village’s signature specialties — the Halong Bay’s Slow Simmered Bhetki, reimagined with The Yellow Turtle’s signature twist. Inspired by Bengal’s rich river fish heritage and elevated through refined Asian slow-cooking techniques, premium bhetki is gently simmered with subtle aromatics and smoky infusions to preserve its buttery texture and natural sweetness. Served over lemon, the dish delivers a beautiful harmony of authentic Bengali flavours and contemporary pan-Asian finesse.

The Yellow Turtle expands its signature beverage experience with a thoughtfully curated collection of refreshing handcrafted drinks inspired by Asian café culture, tropical flavours, and contemporary comfort beverages. Designed to complement the restaurant’s evolving Pan-Asian dining journey, the newly introduced beverages blend familiar favourites with creative modern twists.
Among the highlights is the Jelly Coffee, a Japanese-style indulgence crafted with homemade coffee jelly, fresh instant coffee, sugar, and condensed milk. Combining rich coffee intensity with soft jelly textures and creamy sweetness, the beverage delivers a playful, yet comforting café-style experience inspired by Tokyo’s contemporary coffee culture.
