MSC World Asia to Feature New 3-in-1 Pan-Asian Restaurant
MSC Cruises has revealed that its brand-new upcoming ship, MSC World Asia, will feature a Pan-Asian dining concept that combines three experiences into one venue, called Pan-Asian Street Food.
Inspired by Southeast Asian street food, the venue will combine food, design, music, and live cooking, inviting guests on a culinary journey through Southeast Asia. It will be a bit of everything, including a sit-down specialty restaurant experience, a bar and lounge with Asian-inspired cocktails, and free street food-style bites available to go.
It will draw on the energy of bustling street markets across Indonesia, Singapore, South China, Thailand, and Vietnam with immersive décor, bold artwork, a curated soundtrack, and the high energy of a visible kitchen.
Specialty Restaurant
The restaurant will offer a relaxed and welcoming setting, with seating both indoors and outdoors on a “rooftop” terrace. The experience will include an appetizer, main course, and dessert, encouraging guests to mix and match, enjoying authentic dishes inspired by communal dining traditions.
Passengers can choose from a curated selection of iconic Asian beers served by the bottle, including Tsingtao, Chang, and Bintang, alongside a menu of bubble teas, freshly prepared smoothies, and fruit juices.
Bar and Lounge
Located within the venue, the bar will offer up a variety of popular Southeast Asian-inspired cocktails. These include scented jasmine mojitos, rose and strawberry daiquiris, and matcha coladas, among other things.
On-the-Go Bites
Designed for quick convenience, the on-the-go window will serve complimentary, flavor-packed bites during the day that capture the spontaneity of street food. Offerings will include crispy seafood balls, fluffy bao buns, and more.
Other Dining on MSC World Asia
MSC World Asia will feature 19 dining venues, including six specialty restaurants, six main dining restaurants, an exclusive restaurant for those staying in the MSC Yacht Club, and a variety of fast-casual and on-the-go options.
Specialty dining on board, in addition to the newly-announced Pan-Asian concept, will include Butcher’s Cut steakhouse, Kaito Sushi Bar, Kaito Teppanyaki, Hola! Tacos & Cantina, and a not-yet-named Mediterranean restaurant.
MSC World Asia is scheduled to begin sailing this December in the Mediterranean.
