Rice Paper Taco
Southeast Asia meets Mexico for this exclusive MFWF fusion banquet.
Overview
It's a longtime favourite among lovers of contemporary Southeast Asian fare, but this month, Rice Paper Scissors is set to switch continents completely. For 10 days, it's taking a flavour-packed detour through Mexico as part of Melbourne Food & Wine Festival.
From Friday, March 24–Sunday, April 2, the Fitzroy restaurant is shaking things up with its new limited-edition Rice Paper Taco menu — a five-course shared banquet that'll be available across both lunch and dinner sittings.
For $49, you'll enjoy a vibrant spread of fun fusion dishes from chef Noah Crowcroft, incorporating plenty of punchy Mexican and Asian flavours. Think, chipotle chicken empanadas, tacos stuffed with crispy barramundi and reimagined beef taquitos.
Meanwhile, the bar will have a hefty range of drinks available to add on, including some special tequila cocktails befitting the festive vibes. Cool off with the watermelon-infused Sandita, or try the feisty-sounding Pomelo Pummeler made with Patron Silver, yuzu soda and Unico's Pomelo Vermouth.
