Tootoomoo Whetstone

Specialties

We specialise in authentic and freshly made pan Asian cuisine. The flavours are sumptuous and the setting up cycled with a touch of class. There’s a litany of loveliness on our menu — and we cater to many palates. Vegetarian, gluten free, vegan — do mention your allergies or preferences when ordering.

We recommend you start your pan Asian journey with a preview of the deliciousness by choosing a few ‘Pick ‘N’ Mix’ tasters.

Panko Crusted Tofu Salad nestles in sweet peanut sauce, with a light dressed salad. Aromatic Duck is ripped and crispy, just as it should be — pancakes, hoisin and a clutch of crudités complete this popular dish. Signature dish, Salmon Miso, with beets and leaves is a regular people pleaser, or if your looking for sweet and comforting, Beef Rendang will easily fit the bill. And hey, perhaps an Asahi beer or even a tempting cocktail to round off your main course. Then cleanse your palate with Lick Frozen Yogurt. Replete? You will be.

History

Established in 2015.

Tootoomoo was established originally in 2012. Whetstone opened as the 4^th in the Tootoomoo family in May 2015.

The desire to reinvent the take out was born in 2010 and Philip’s love for Asian Cuisine and Vietnamese style shophouses created the foundation for his idea.

Collaboration with Michelin starred Executive Chef Ricky Pang saw the realisation of a mutual dream.

Philip and Ricky worked their way up through the food industry ranks and earned their stripes at many a well known company en route.

Their compatibility grew from their passion for creating and delivering exciting Pan Asian dishes, flavour full and healthy to boot!

Meet the Business Owner

Philip M.

Business Owner

Philip McGuinness really is becoming your ubiquitous man with a plan! A Pan Asian Plan, to be precise — hatched deep in his passion for Asian food he came up with the idea to reinvent the takeout. Frustrated by his experiences of Pan Asian dining and service outside of Asia he set about designing his massively Vietnamese influenced inaugural store.

And so far, it’s a hit.

He is passionate about fresh, organic foods; taste excellence and unparalleled service. He keeps an informal contact with his customers, a deep bond with his staff and is careful to listen to compliment and critique alike.

He is devoted to the community that has welcomed him in and he gives back in bucket loads. Hatched in 2010, his dream was realised in November 2012.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Previously, Philip has been successful in identifying and investing in opportunities in the UK food and retail sectors. Philip is passionate about creating and delivering exciting Pan Asian dishes to our customers.
