Food is culture, habit, craving and identity 🇲🇾
.
I went on a culinary adventure with @keatasbymg , a zero proof bar over concoctions devised by mixologist Zeehan Zahari👨🏽🍳 . A unforgettable roof top dining experience with a stunning view of the Merdeka 118 tower and a customisable menu.
*The Chinatown Egg* 🥚
This dish represents humble beginnings . An egg, served hot at the bottom and cold on top. Please enjoy this dish by scooping up from top to base and experience the different temperatures and textures.
*Textures of Rice* 🫔
Here is a twist to the classic Chee Chong Fun. Instead of prawns, we serve this version with salmon belly that's cooked to perfection into two types of rice wrap: one layer which is deep fried and the the other, steamed.
*Malaysia, A Melting Pot of Flavours* 🥗
Kerabu, a slowly forgotten Malayan heritage, is a dish that has all the elements to represent Malaysia: it is punchy, tangy, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, refreshing, herbaceous, all in one bowl. Just like how our nation is. We are a beautiful mix of cuisine, history and culture and this bowl of Kerabu is and amazing representation of that.
*Coconut & Venus Clam Soup* 🍲
This bowl of goodness was inspired by a local delicacy in Batang Kali, a small township at the outskirts of Selangor. There, this dish is cooked in the coconut fruit itself, where the flesh and juice would lend that special sweetness to the broth. In our version we've used plump Venus clams and unripe papaya for the added flavor twist.
*Claypot Curry Rice* 🍚
We present to you Kuching's Sunday staple: Curry Rice. Unlike any other versions you've had before, this Borneon version includes chicken charsiew, Hainanese steamed chicken, braised soy sauce and curry. The distinctive aroma that is similar to truffles comes from a native jungle nut called kulim. Please mix everything to enjoy!
*Tongkat Ali* 🍮
A hazelnut chocolate dessert with tongkat ali for your enjoyment. It's known by the locals that tongkat ali leads to happy endings.
