JIAO Ásia | Lisbon

This Carnide-based kitchen delivers a pan-Asian thesis with remarkable precision. The signature fried eggplants arrive lacquered in a sweet-spicy glaze, offering a shatter-crisp exterior against a silken core. Katsu sandos feature panko-crusted chicken nestled in pillowy bread, while the udon with beef balances mineral-rich veal with the snap of fresh asparagus and bell peppers. It is a curated journey through the continent’s comfort classics, defined by vibrant tamarind, aromatic cilantro, and a sophisticated play of textures.
