Pork Rib & Crab Rice, RM58 ++

The aromatic and flavourful dish of Pork Rib and Crab Rice, it’s a dish with rice and sofrito, a combination of chopped vegetables like garlic, onion, capsicum and tomatoes which are cooked over 2 days and prawn stock. Topped with the juicy and tender iberico pork ribs and local crabs, the dish combines flavours from land and sea. When mixed all the ingredients together it tastes addictive.

The aromatic, creamy and smooth curry leaves ice cream on lightly sweeten strawberry Szechuan pepper and jasmine green tea gelatin. A gastronomical and memorable dessert to seal the meal, the soothing and satisfying ice cream with lightly sweeten strawberry and the hint of peppery that lingers on throat.  

The Open Kitchen

Overall we had a satisfying gastronomical dining experience at Coquo. All the dishes is specially curated by Chef Toni Valero using fresh local produce and inspired by local and international cultures. Definitely worth the visit if you love fine food in a casual dining ambience. I am impressed with their open kitchen plus its cozy and russet ambience with pure wooden and leather fittings.
