Continuing its tradition of serving excellent Ramadan fare, Malay sous chef Kamarudin Dali and his team are featuring the finest in Malay cuisine this year.
“Many of the dishes are inspired from traditional recipes and stay true kampung style. For example, therendang dish is a family recipe.
Be sure to save space for desserts such as Malay kuih and cookies.
“We may not have as many dishes, but our food is top notch and uses the freshest ingredients,” said Kamarudin.

The restaurant is also serving up a selection of local soups such as Sup Kambing Ubi Kentang, Sup Makanan Laut Bersantan, Sup Ekor Sapi dengan Ubi Kentang and sup tulang rawan.

For the main course, there are about 100 dishes to indulge in with the highlights being Ayam Kurma Seri Melayu, Udang Galah Lemak Cili Api, Ayam Goreng Kunyit Bawang Cili, Ikan Merah Asam Pedas, sambal udang petai, rendang daging, lemang, otak-otak, ikan bakar, chicken and beef satay, just to name a few.
The sambal udang is spicy, but the sweetness of the prawn lends the dish complexity and delightful flavours.
The satay needs special mention as it was perfectly grilled and the accompanying peanut sauce was aromatic, thick and tasty.
