A sambal caught our attention was Tempoyak – fermented durian popular in Perak and Pahang. The durian flesh is usually added with salt and stored for 3 – 5 days for fermentation process before serving. It has moderate durian taste and at the same time, quite sourly as well.

Assorted Kerabu (salad) such as  Kerabu Kacang Botol, Kerabu Su Un, Kerabu Selom, Kerabu Ayam, Kerabu Telur, Acar Buah, and Jelotoh are also available. Our favorite one was Kerabu Ayam.

As for the main course, some signatures dishes include Wok Fried Black Pepper Beef, Ayam Rendang, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Wood Fired Pizza, Assorted Dim Sum and Pau and the list goes on.

Our favorite hot tray item was Kepah Masak Kunyit (Stir-Fried Mussel with Turmeric).
