  • A New York-inspired atmosphere: burgers, steaks, ribs, cocktails, craft beers, wings and bar grills dominate the menu.

  • Space types: indoor and outdoor dining making it good for both casual lunches and dinner functions.

Mai Gai — Southeast Asian Adventure

What it offers:

  • A fusion of Southeast Asian cuisines: Thai, Laotian, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Indonesian etc., with shareable dishes, bold flavours, creative cocktails.

Why choose Mai Gai:
If you want something with a wow factor in food and design, that leans more towards exploring flavours. Good if your group enjoys spice, variety, experiential dining, and not just standard pub/bar fare.

What it offers:

  • Italian-style food, share plates, pastas, pizzas etc., with stylish décor, booths or more private/semi-private seating. Flexible spaces ranging from cozy booths to larger dining areas.

  • Even more formal packages are available; they’re good for groups wanting a full sit-down dinner rather than standing cocktail style.

  • Pricing across a spectrum so you can scale depending on how fancy or casual you want.

Why choose them:
For groups wanting elegance with comfort. It’s the spot for more traditional Christmas dinners, family-style sharing, or a group that wants to linger over courses.
