Starter - Marinated Sea Conch, Octopus and Sea Urchin Roe in Coconut Kerabu Style with Fiddlehead Fern

Let’s kick start the dining experience with this Marinated Sea Conch, Octopus and Sea Urchin Roe in Coconut Kerabu Style with Fiddlehead Fern. The succulent and mild flavored seafood with sprinkles of fragrant coconut kerabu and pucuk paku brings back the memory of traditional kampung dish.

WXYZ Mojito

Option: Paired with the refreshing WXYZ Mojito

Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup

Soup - Chicken Noodle Soup

It is an impressive way to serve a simple Chicken Noodle Soup, the clear and light soup base with black chicken noodle in syringe. Get to play with the food before I dig in.

Sambal Beef Tongue and Tendon served with Perchik Sauce and Achar Crudité

Main Course 1 - Sambal Beef Tongue and Tendon served with Perchik Sauce and Achar Crudité

Well, the Main Course 1 which is the Sambal Beef Tongue and Tendon served with Perchik Sauce and Achar Crudité. Looks great but I can’t take beef. They said every bit is an enjoyment, it just melt in their mouth and the beef tongue is flavourful and tender.

Cod Assam Pedas Sauce served with Garlic Rice, Salted Egg and Tempura Egg Plant

Main Course 2 - Cod Assam Pedas Sauce served with Garlic Rice, Salted Egg and Tempura Egg Plant

This Cod Assam Pedas Sauce served with Garlic Rice, Salted Egg and Tempura Egg Plant is my favourite dish of the night. I love the combination of fragrant garlic rice with healthy piece of cod and the light sambal asam pedas. The small cut of salted egg is brilliant because the sambal is quite light and mild so the salted egg perfected the dish.

Miguel Torres Santa Digna Carmenere Reserve

Option: main course 2 paired with Miguel Torres Santa Digna Carmenere Reserve

Nook Cendol

Nook Cendol

Desserts - Nook Cendol

Again we play with our food, the Nook Cendol can’t be more special where the glutinous rice is in cube and with the combinations of pandan rice flour jelly (cendol), ba’kelalan salt, palm sugar ice and red bean. I wish the palm sugar could be stronger and creamier.

Sour Boy

Surprising the cold Sour Boy perfect after a meal, mind you this is quite sour but I like it because it’s awakening.
