Cho Gao is now open at Abu Dhabi’s Intercontinental Hotel. The eatery, which is located beside Chamas Churrascaria & Bar, is part of the hotel’s Marina Walk precinct.
It’s the second for Abu Dhabi - the other outlet is at the Crowne Plaza in Hamdan Street - and much like that location, the dishes are based on Indonesian, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai cuisine.
You can indulge in the Thai roasted duck red curry with pineapple, grape and Thai basil or the Chinese black pepper beef with bell peppers and spring onions or the Vietnamese banana blossom salad with chicken, shallots, toasted peanuts and chilli. There’s also a dedicated sushi bar that is now serving a variety of sushi and sashimi options.
Cho Gao Marina Walk is currently open for dinner Sunday to Tuesday from 6pm to 1am and Wednesday to Saturday from 6pm to 2am. From September there will be a lunch service from 12.30pm to 3.30pm.

TOUCH RULES
Touch is derived from rugby league. Teams consist of up to 14 players with a maximum of six on the field at any time.
Teams can make as many substitutions as they want during the 40 minute matches.
Similar to rugby league, the attacking team has six attempts - or touches - before possession changes over.
A touch is any contact between the player with the ball and a defender, and must be with minimum force.
After a touch the player performs a “roll-ball” - similar to the play-the-ball in league - stepping over or rolling the ball between the feet.
At the roll-ball, the defenders have to retreat a minimum of five metres.
A touchdown is scored when an attacking player places the ball on or over the score-line.
