Ember Modern Bistro

Set your sights on this cool restaurant in TTDI for unique and delicious sharing plates centred around Japanese and Mediterranean flavours. It's great for big groups and for those who are looking to try something new, just be sure to make a reservation especially on weekends! First-timers, begin with the cold Eggplant Salad & Sesame Dressing (RM27) that packs a punch with fresh pomegranate and fragrant fried shallots. Also have the simple and delicious Cold Noodles, Duck & Ponzu (RM35). For a sweet finish, Burppler Blueskies Cottonclouds recommends the refreshing Elderflower Granita & Bunga Kantan (RM25).

Nice and buttery grilled fish, with a generous bed of greens on top (which we highly appreciate after an incredibly filling start of the meal). The shio kombu butter is the winning element — boasting depth and savoury goodness.

In case I haven’t mentioned, this smart casual restobar that quietly cropped up in TTDI is absolutely the place to be if you like to eat. The concept centres around their charcoal grill, and as a result, everything that comes off it has a lovely smokiness.

We started our night on these, wonderfully creamy and cumin-y eggplant with the bright crunchy bursts of pomegranate and fragrant fried shallots.

How are sweet potatoes this good? Ask Ember. Nailing the caramelised, crisp-skinned cook on the sweet potatoes, the dish also features piquant ulam raja and smoked yoghurt below. Sweet, rich with a crunchy zing. Yum.

Also overheard someone come in to dapao this. Can totally imagine munching on a plate of this for a kinda healthy, very delicious tv dinner.

Cold wanton mee-reminiscent noodles tossed in lovely ponzu sauce, served with sweet pear slices and smoked duck. Interestingly, the simply but excellent done noodles stood out much more than the meat here.

Choc lovers will enjoy this dessert!
