Our Kinilaw Filipino Ceviche is a celebration of one of the Philippines' most iconic dishes, where sashimi-grade fish is cured with bright, fragrant flavours instead of citrus alone.
The dressing combines coconut, calamansi and pinakurat vinegar - a beautifully aged Filipino vinegar named after the Visayan word kurat, meaning "to surprise" - bringing a lively balance of spice, acidity and aromatics to every bite.
The result is light, refreshing and layered with flavour, letting exceptional seasonal seafood shine.
A new favourite, inspired by tradition.

If you're visiting Taxi Kitchen for the first time, this is where we'd start.
Our Showstopper Menu brings together a curated selection of the dishes we're most excited about right now, so you can sit back while we do the hard work.
Three or four courses, optional wine pairing, and plenty of reasons to stay for dessert.

Meet the dish that's quietly becoming a favourite.
Australian King prawns, sourced from the pristine waters of Southern Queensland, are naturally sweet, succulent and cooked just enough to retain their signature bite.
They're paired with a silky almond curry, layered with cardamom, star anise, cloves and cumin before being mellowed with almond milk for a rich, aromatic finish.
If curries could wear perfume, this would be the fancy one - refined, confident and impossible to forget.

It all starts with exceptional produce.
World-renowned Pacific oysters, prized for their naturally sweet, clean and salty flavour, paired with spiced apple and crisp pork crackle for a little richness and crunch.
Simple, balanced and a fitting way to begin the meal.

Good flavour can't be rushed.
Twelve hours of slow cooking lays the foundation. A final kiss of the hibachi adds the smoky char we've been chasing.
Paired with pickled daikon and everyday mustard, our Western Plains char siu pork is rich, tender and layered with just the right amount of contrast.
This is comfort food, Taxi Kitchen style.
