5 Mind-Blowing Food and Drink Pairings for Mr. Wabi’s Asian Fusion Menu 

Asian Fusion Restaurants like Mr. Wabi in Brisbane City are all about exciting flavours. 

But pairing the right drink with the right food can take your meal to the next level. 

From spicy prawns to sweet and sour favourites, there’s a perfect drink out there to make those flavours sing!  

We’ll be going over some of the best possible pairings in this post.

Fiery Flavour Explosion: King Pow King Prawns

Get ready for a taste bud adventure! 

Mr. Wabi’s Kung Pow King Prawns explode with bold flavours – fiery chilli, tongue-tingling Sichuan pepper, savoury garlic and ginger, and crunchy peanuts, and a tangy kick of black vinegar.  

A great beverage to go along with this is the Fairy Godmother Cocktail. 

This vibrant green cocktail is the ideal match for those spicy prawns. 

The Fairy Godmother brings a refreshing mix of sweetness from lychee, a zing of lime, and the subtle complexity of absinthe. 

It’s like a sweet and sour twist with an unexpected herbal note. 

The Kung Pow King Prawns are all about spice and intensity.  

The Fairy Godmother balances that heat with its fruity sweetness, while the absinthe adds a unique flavour that keeps things interesting.  

This pairing will cleanse your palate and enhance the delicious complexity of the dish.  

Now after that burst of heat, let’s switch gears to something with a touch of sweetness.  

Think juicy plums and traditional Chinese flavours… 

Classic with a Sweet Twist – Peking Duck Pancakes

The beauty of Peking Duck Pancakes is in its simplicity – crispy duck skin, the savoury richness of hoisin sauce, and the freshness of cucumber and shallots all wrapped in those delicate pancakes. 

Classic for a reason! 

The perfect pairing to go along with this is Choya Umeshu (Plum Wine). 

The sweet Japanese plum wine is the perfect way to enhance your experience with the Peking Duck. It’s like a ray of sunshine that cuts through the richness of the duck and hoisin sauce. 

Its fruity sweetness complements the richness of the duck and hoisin sauce beautifully.  

The Choya Umeshu adds a delightful touch of sweetness on your palate, which makes those rich, classic flavours even more enjoyable.  

Every sip and bite creates a perfect flavour harmony that will leave you wanting more.  

Fried Barramundi Southeast Asian Style

Imagine the delicate, flaky texture of crispy fried barramundi infused with the zesty flavours of ginger and sweet soy.  

A tangy vinegar and a hint of spicy chilly add a playful kick, while fresh mint brightens the whole dish. 

This goes perfectly well with Coopers Pale Ale. 

Coopers Pale Ale is the ideal match for this light and vibrant dish. 

Its crisp, refreshing taste and subtle citrus notes cleanse your palate with every sip.  

It’s like a cool breeze cutting through the richness of the fish, leaving you ready for another delicious bite. 

So the Fried Barramundi is full of exciting flavours – sweet, tangy, and a touch of heat.  

The Coopers Pale Ale acts like a flavour reset, highlighting the freshness of the dish and making each taste even more vibrant. 

A Bold and Savoury Match: Wagyu Beef Burger

Sink your teeth into this juicy masterpiece – a Wagyu beef patty bursting with flavour, melted American cheese, smoky bacon, and all the classic burger fixings piled high on a soft brioche bun. 

It’s a burger lover’s dream! 

A perfect beverage to go along with this is the Mount Adam Five Fifty Shiraz. 

This full-bodied Australian Shiraz is the perfect partner for your Wagyu burger. 

Its rich and peppery notes and hints of dark fruit stand up to the boldness of the burger. 

Wagyu beef is known for its richness and intense flavour.  

The Mount Adam Shiraz mirrors that intensity with its bold character. 

Plus, the spice notes in the wine will play beautifully with the smokiness of the bacon and the tang of your burger sauce. 

This pairing is all about satisfying those comfort food cravings in the most delicious way. 

Sweet and Sour Sensation: Mr. Wabi’s Sweet and Sour Pork

This dish is a party in your mouth! 

Imagine those golden chunks of crispy pork, bursting with flavour and coated in a tangy strawberry sweet and sour sauce. 

The sweetness is balanced by juicy pineapple and the crunch of capsicum. 

The perfect drink to go along with this is the Wolf Lane Tropical Gin. 

It’s like sunshine in a glass, with bursts of mango, pineapple, and passionfruit that perfectly complement the sauce. 

The subtle botanical notes of the gin adds a touch of sophistication.  

The sweet and sour sauce can be intense, but the Wolf Lane Tropical Gin cuts right through it with refreshing, fruity flavours. 

It’s like a tropical breeze that enhances the dish, it makes each bit even more vibrant and delicious.  

This pairing is pure summery in delight.
