This dish, created by the award-winning culinary team of Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, symbolises the harmonious co-existence and unity of the ten Asean countries through the fusion of flavours and ingredients commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisines such as pineapple, green papaya, dried mango, star fruit, dried shrimp, red ginger flower, roasted ground peanut, lime leaf, lemongrass, chicken bak kua, basil, coconut and fish gravy.
