Beef marinated with Asian spices and slowly braised in a tandoori oven for nine hours, the Signature Daging Tempayan is absolutely a must-try dish. Served with traditional Biskut Lutut and a wide variety of freshly baked bread, it’s a show-stopper of a meal! Another dish to order is the Racikan Ayam, which is cooked in a sous vide machine at 63 degrees Celsius, and topped with chicken and free range eggs.

If that’s not enough, the Laksa Lemak Kuning Ikan Tongkol - a traditional dish made with local tuna - is the chef’s personal favourite, made just like nenek (grandmother) makes it! This favourite is served with yellow curry fish broth and tuna flakes, pounded with chilli paste and local green herbs, paired with your choice of noodles.
For dessert lovers, you will find an array of treats from traditional kuih muih and ABC to delicious cakes and puddings.
