🍜 Dasian: São Paulo’s Asian Fusion Feast with Hits, Misses, and WTF Moments This sprawling spot claims to serve "all things Asia"—Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Singaporean—but does it deliver? 🌟 After sampling everything from wine-soaked apples to wasabi-spiced tofu, here’s the real talk on where to dive in (and where to swim away). 🌟 The Bright Spots: When Fusion Works Wine-Marinated Green Apples: Game-changer! 🍎 Crisp apples bathed in red wine, tangy-sweet like adult candy. Pro tip: steal the leftovers for your morning yogurt. Salmon with Crunchy Sweet Potato Threads: Textural perfection! 🐟 Buttery salmon meets crispy, shoestring sweet potatoes—adds a welcome crunch to every bite. Foie Gras & Tuna Sashimi: The dream team! 🦢+🐟 Buttery foie melts into fresh tuna, wrapped in nori. One bite and you’ll forget all other sushi exists. 🚩 The "What Were They Thinking?" Dishes Cheese Cauliflower Tragedy: Boiled cauliflower + processed cheese. 🥦 Tastes like cafeteria food with a fancy name—proceed with caution (or just order fries instead). Cardboard-Style Peking Duck Pancakes: Crispy duck, yes. 🦆 But the pancakes? Stiffer than cardboard. Skip and hit Tang Palace for the real deal—cheaper, too. Singaporean Noodles Overload: Spices on spices on spices. 🍝 If you love chewing on a firework, go for it. Otherwise, stick to the Japanese section. 📝 Mixed Bags (Eat at Your Own Risk) Grilled Mushrooms, Wagyu, Scallops: Fancy ingredients, confusing spices. 🍄+🥩+🍣 One bite had cumin, the next was wasabi—like a flavor rollercoaster without the fun. Caramel Matcha & Tofu Cream Dessert: Sugar bomb alert! 🍵+🧀 The tofu cream is so sweet, it cancels out the matcha. Only order if you brush your teeth with honey. 💡 Pro Tips for Surviving Dasian Order Strategy: Stick to Japanese dishes (sushi, sashimi), skip Chinese/Vietnamese fusion, and definitely get the wine apples. Budget Reality Check: Mains ~R$80–120, which is steep for hit-or-miss food. 💰 You’ll get better value at a focused Japanese joint. Vibe Check: Sleek decor, but noisy—good for groups, bad for romantic dates. 🍴 Final Verdict Dasian is a prime example of "jack of all trades, master of none". Go if: You’re dying to try wine-soaked apples (fair enough) You love playing "guess the spice" with your food You have money to burn on experimental eats Skip if: You crave authentic Asian flavors You hate paying premium prices for cafeteria-style dishes Bottom line: Come for the apples, stay for the foie gras, and prepare to write your own "weird but wild" food story. 🌟✨ #AsianFusionSP #SaoPauloFoodie #FusionFail #FoodieWarnings #BrazilianDining
