1.Appetisers: Iberico pork neck satay, crispy Muar seafood otak-otak roll, fire-roasted Cameron Highlands sweet corn, forest picked Paku pakis salad. – the otak-otak in particular, was quite unique, and the white corn was so sweet, naturally so.

2.Double boiled Sarawak white pepper sharksfin soup with Cameron Highlands radish. – this was so good!

3.Large Tanjung Tualang fresh water prawns with chef’s special sauce. – I don’t think I’ve ever had a prawn this big! The flesh was abundant and succulent, though the sauce was on the sweet side.

4.Steamed Pantai Remis pomfret, Quilin style. – fish slices sandwiching abalone and Yunan ham. – a most unique presentation, and the fish frame was not wasted as it was fried until it was crunchy.

5.Signature Nanyang roasted curry suckling pig – traditional Malaysian curry gives it a different character altogether, would have tasted great with a bowl of white rice! The suckling pig was gorgeous, crisp and flesh was still moist, but I personally prefer it in its original form without the curry.

6.Large Organic free range chicken with Ipoh bean sprouts and Melaka rice ball. – always a favourite.

7.Happinese forever -sago with purple sweet potato later with a gula Melaka coconut heart. – like onde onde blended with kuih kochi.

8.Musang King Durian pudding – this had a gorgeous silky texture like taufufa, almost like eating the actual flesh of the fruit.

A menu that’s never going to come your away again, so it’s worth exploring these unique offerings!
