A
Traditional Buka Puasa Feast
includes several signatures of the festive month – Roasted Baby Lamb with 10 Spices served with garlic cumin sauce, Baked
Sea Bass with Creamy Curry Sauce and Bird Eye Chili, Grilled Stingray and Sea
Bass with Java Chili Paste and Oven-Roasted Spring Chicken with Sesame and Fenugreek
Trigona Honey Sauce.
The
Roasted Baby Lamb is so tender and
juicy, well marinated with a good dose of spices. It is simply a must-have at
Latest Recipe. The Baked Sea Bass with
Creamy Curry Sauce and Bird Eye Chili is another good choice as the fish is
cooked nicely with a creamy and spicy sauce, perfect savored on its own or with
rice and bread.

the 10 States in the country, traditional Malay dishes such as Lamb Bahmia with Dates & Green Peas,
Deep Fried Sliced Beef with Java Chili Paste, Chicken Briyani, Patin Fish in

Udang Masak Dua Jintan Halia Muda, Rendang Kambing Pedas and more are

The
Australian Beef Rendang and 60 Days Grain Fed Chicken Rendang are
another must-try as well. The Australian Beef Rendang oozed with great depths
of spices beautifully harmonized through hours of slow cooking. The beef
melts-in-the-mouth and has a rich and creamy flavour that makes me want to keep
eating it. Available for takeaway, these are simply delicious!
The
Salad Bar is laden with lots of authentic Kerabus and salads together with
other delights. Some of the Kerabus available are Salad Otak-otak Tenggiri dengan Mangga Muda, Kerabu Pucuk Paku dengan Kepah Sambal Lemak Kelapa Cili Padi, Young Papaya & Carambola Chili Paste,
