For more pan-Asian flavours, Chu the Phat‘s menu incorporating flavours from Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan features handmade dumplings and snacks, fragrant stri-fries and punchy side dishes, as well as festive banquets perfect for a celebration. They’ll also have a cocktail special to cheers to the Year of the Tiger! Chu the Phat is open seven days—you can book a table here.

Later in February, the BrisAsia Festival, timed to coincide with Lunar New Year, is bringing the inaugural Laneway Tea Festival to Fish Lane!
