Wau
Description
Restaurateur and chef Salil Mehta opened Wau on Manhattan's Upper West Side to showcase kampung-style and comfort food dishes from Malaysia and Indonesia. Wau's menu offers innovative plates such as vegan calamari (using young coconut meat that’s fried tempura-style); nasi biryani (a Malaysian regional version of the rice dish that’s prepared with cranberries and cashew nuts); and a Thai tiramisu (ladyfinger biscuits dipped in Thai tea and layered with a mixture of coconut milk and coconut flakes).
