Roast Pork 🐖belly | very yummy crabmeat🦀 soup | buah keluak | and then there's buah keluak + valhrona 🍫ice cream | banana 🍌caramel pudding | and finally durian ice cream in durian purée! Love these double whammy flavours, just like tau huey in tau huey zui😋😋😋

A quartet of juicy, well-marinated chicken satay was what my friend Lynn and I chose to begin our long-overdue lunch with. We couldn't be more pleased with how good these turned out to be. Smoky from the charcoal grill, the skewers of whole chunks of tender yet fat-free meat were made even more irresistible dunked in the thick peanut gravy that's punctuated with the brightness of puréed pineapple.

Chef Damian's desserts were outstanding! His kuih bingka (baked tapioca cake) was paired with an excellent Gula Melaka and coconut ice cream. So good that even though I was bursting at my seams, I still stole a few more bites.

It was so delicious. Not overly rich (Lemak usually refers to coconut milk added to the dish), it was perfectly balanced. The vegetables and prawns were not the star here for me. It was that slurp worthy lemak sauce. This is so good. This, the sambal keluak fried rice and the four angled bean salad alone would make me one happy camper!

One bite and I can see why as it's made from beef cheeks. This is a popular dish and thankfully Veronica had the good sense to pre-order some before hand as it was sold out by the time we arrived. My verdict, whilst I can't fault the dish as it was executed perfectly, I found that it lacked the oomph I was looking for, it was a tad too mild for me and I would have preferred my rendang with a bit more punch (more rempah). Judging from its popularity, perhaps I am an outlier.
