Rice Paper Scissors

  • Bar
  • Restaurant

Rice Paper Scissors is modelled on the hawker dining bars of South East Asia, with a shared-eating concept at its heart.

You are encouraged to eat using only your hands at this innovative and exciting restaurant, which serves only the freshest ingredients, sourced organically and ethically where possible.

All sauces, pâtés and relishes are made in-house and while the menu can change, dishes to share include Thai fried chicken, lobster dumplings and sticky pork belly. Dishes on the separate vegan menu include Thai yellow curry and tempura eggplant buns.

Cocktails include Thai sangria (white wine spiced with pineapple, mango and Thai herbs) and there's also a good wine and beer menu.
