dinner

Ma Pa Me brings a heartfelt homage to family to Southbank, channelling the comforting pull of Indonesian and Southeast Asian home cooking through a cheeky, modern lens

The menu unfolds as a tour of textures. Market fish sashimi sings with green apple, watermelon, and a bright nahm jim, while twice-cooked lamb ribs arrive lacquered in black vinegar caramel and scattered with fried garlic. Wok-fired favourites like pad thai and prawn stir fry keep the pace lively and familiar.

The curries offer deep, aromatic comfort, ranging from a beef rendang rich with coconut to a fried chicken green curry with a fresh, herbal lift. Crisp counterpoints arrive via a zesty green papaya som tum or a cooling coconut chicken salad, balancing the spice with a bright crunch.

Gather your crew, follow your cravings, and let Ma Pa Me serve up a little mischief with every mouthful. Consider this your cue to dine, unwind, and wok this way.
