Tootoomoo Whetstone is a colourful Pan Asian restaurant at 1371 High Road. Its menu combines influences from Malaysia, China, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam, with fresh ingredients and lively seasoning providing a link between the different traditions. Spacious dining areas and an open communal bar make the venue equally suitable for a complete dinner or cocktails with a few small plates.
Sharing dishes take centre stage, beginning with tiger prawn tempura, crispy smoked chicken and savoury chicken gyoza. Other choices can move through dim sum, crunchy vegetables, satay flavours, salads and aromatic duck with pancakes. This format allows a table to compare crisp, steamed, sweet, sour and spicy dishes before deciding whether to continue sharing larger plates.
Curries include warming beef rendang, Thai green curry and Japanese katsu, with chicken, prawns or vegetables available across parts of the selection. Szechuan chilli can be paired with tofu, chicken, beef or prawns, while grilled miso salmon and peppered beef offer alternatives from the grill. Pad Thai, Singapore noodles, rice and steamed vegetables complete the meal with familiar staples.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are represented throughout the menu and staff can advise where dishes may be adapted. Mochi, yuzu lemon cheesecake, mango sorbet and ice cream add Asian inspired and familiar ways to finish. Inventive cocktails and the prominent bar reinforce Tootoomoo’s sociable character, while delivery and collection provide the same broad flavours beyond the dining room.
