 Oru, a graceful Pan-Asian bistro in the hip Fairmont Pacific Rim, is sleek and bright with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Vancouver harbour. Yet it’s hard to focus on anything but the food when tasting menus blending flavors from Japan, China, India, Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. Many of the dishes, such as saké kasu sablefish (Alaskan black cod) with gingered tomatoes, have become Oru signatures. (Kasu is made from saké lees, the sediment left behind after making saké.) Devotees of Indian food will like the naan fresh from the tandoor oven dipped into exotically spiced butter chicken curry sauce, while soy connoisseurs will admire the smooth and luxurious texture of house-made tofu in a shiitake mushroom sauce. Another favorite is a version of nasi goreng topped with a sunny-side egg, the Indonesian fried rice dish popular in Southeast Asia. Elegant desserts range from feather-light Japanese cheesecake to a rich chocolate ganache tart. Oru boasts an exotic cocktail list, a large saké cellar, and a 150-label spice-friendly wine list focusing on small, family-owned producers mostly from the Pacific Northwest.
