Blue Jade restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Dubai has launched a street food concept on Wednesday nights.

On the menu is street food from across Asia, ordered from and prepared at seven stall-style cooking stations around the restaurant. Keeping with the theme, placemats are replaced with paper “tablecloths”, dishes are served in disposable containers and eaten using disposable cutlery.

Highlights of the Streets of Asia promotion are Chinese dumplings, Japanese maki rolls, Vietnamese vermicelli crab soup and Thai rice paper rolls and pomelo salad. Asian-themed mocktails, such as matcha latte and grass jelly bubble tea, are also available.

Guests are given a bundle of coupons – featuring copies of different Asian currencies – containing their table number to hand to the chef when they order their food. Once the food is ready, it will be brought to the guest’s table.

Dishes cost Dh60 per portion. Available every Wednesday from 6-11pm. For reservations, contact 04 318 6150 or [e-mail]
