Feb 16: Spice Traders returns to one of the world’s most storied culinary traditions and tells it again, this time with restraint, intuition and a contemporary point of view. The result is a refreshed culinary direction that doesn’t chase nostalgia or novelty, but quietly bridges the space between the two.
Inspired by the philosophies of China’s Eight Great Cuisines, Chef Avinash doesn’t replicate regional dishes. Instead, he decodes how they think. How heat is layered rather than imposed. How fermentation adds depth without weight. How balance is achieved through contrast, not excess. These ideas become the foundation of a menu that feels modern, relevant, and instinctive, without losing its soul.
This evolution is guided by Spice Traders’ BA philosophy: a space between opposites. Tradition and modernity. Fire and freshness. Comfort and curiosity. Every dish is composed to live in that in-between, edited, intentional, and quietly confident.
