The Monkey King Menu by Larkin Cen

15th February – 31st August

The Monkey King is a famous character in an influential Chinese novel called Journey to the West. Food is a big part of Asian culture and is usually eaten family style in a relaxed environment. The Monkey King’s goal is to bring famous Asian dishes to Wales so that people can enjoy the history and unique flavour profiles of classic Asian cuisine using locally sourced ingredients.

Join us at PAD during Larkin Cen’s residency to experience The Monkey King menu, which specialises in small plates and is designed so that you can try as many flavours as possible. We recommend between 6 – 8 dishes per couple.

This residency could not come at a more exciting time as Larkin returns to our TV screens for his second stint representing Wales on the Great British Menu. As Larkin battles to reach the final banquet, enjoy a sumptuous feast of your own by booking The Monkey King online now.
