Creating fusion cuisine is a fine art. It requires skill and expertise to ensure that the end result is a harmonious, tasty blend. Wanatabe Coffee, a cosy restaurant located at Level 1, Isetan Scotts, is one establishment that has hit the mark. Its menu blends the best of east and west in a variety of delectable Japanese-Western fusion dishes. We take a closer look at its signature dishes, and pair them with Twinings’ exquisite teas to both elevate your meal and complete your dining experience.

Twinings Golden Tipped English Breakfast

Flavourful dishes, like the Japanese Wa-gyu Steak, go amazingly well with English Breakfast which has a strong, robust flavour. This tea is nothing short of a rich, malty symphony, thanks to its blend of premium Assam loose teas. Enjoy the full taste of both the steak and the tea with this pairing.

Twinings Two Seasons Darjeeling

This tea has the best of two harvests – an intense, drier mouth feel from the springtime plucks and warm floral notes from the summer months. It helps cut the richness of the sauce and smooth, buttery eggs in this dish. Alternatively, try Twinings Golden Tipped English Breakfast for its robust flavour profile.

Twinings Golden Caramel Rooibos

Full-bodied, caffeinefree tea with notes of caramel, this tea complements desserts perfectly. It also has a subtle nutty flavour which brings out the taste of the red beans in this dessert. Alternatively, try Twinings Budding Meadow Chamomile. The soothing, delicate tea is an excellent digestive at the end of a meal.
