The real magic, however, unfolds when you delve into the culinary offerings of Tamarind. The menu, inspired by a fusion of modern Australian, Malaysian, Japanese, and other Asian cuisines, resonates with innovation and authenticity. At Tamarind, it’s not just about the food; it’s about the culinary journey that each dish takes you on. The entrees, though seemingly small in portion, are packed full of fresh flavours and are artistically presented. But if you’re looking for a hearty meal, their generous mains won’t disappoint.

The restaurant’s signature Penang Duck Curry is an undeniable crowd-pleaser. This perennial local favourite has been on the menu since Tamarind’s inception and continues to captivate with its aromatic and robust flavour. Another must-try is the zucchini-wrapped tofu that, according to some, outshines even the tiger prawns. The succulent seared scallops on a leek sauce paired with a flinty Heirloom Pinot Gris is an excellent precursor to heavier dishes.

If you’re a dessert connoisseur, Tamarind’s beautifully presented and distinctively less sweet desserts will leave you wanting more. The watermelon stacked cake, with its fresh watermelon and rose petal hints, is an indulgence worth trying, even if it leads to a slight pang of guilt.

One might argue that the Tamarind experience isn’t complete without trying their cocktails. The spicy mango cocktail is a perfect kickstart to your night, balancing just the right amount of spice to tickle your taste buds.

The restaurant’s comprehensive and finely curated wine selection, featuring superb Argentinian wines among others, complements their dishes perfectly, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavours. The charm of Tamarind doesn’t end there. It’s also child-friendly with a kids’ menu that appeals to younger palates, making it an ideal dining spot for families.
