Malay & Indonesian Food
Last month we visited few restaurants, and each one had its own unique identity and flavours worth sharing. Below are my reviews :
🌿 Rembayung famous menu serves Malay cuisine with East Coast influences. 👍The dishes that stood out for us were the Cucur Udang, Buah Asam Boi, Sayur Masak Lemak and Fish Kari. 👎 Somehow the Sambal Fish was very spicy even for our asian palate. Nonetheless, the food were beautifully presented, comforting and perfect with warm rice.
🐟 Restoran Dulang Tok Wan (Eco Majestic) celebrates Perak cuisine, and tastes like home cooked food. 👍We especially loved the crispy Ikan Loma with sambal tempoyak, ikan loma pekasam, Kari ikan utara, and the creamy Udang Masak Lemak. 👎My only complain is that its in Semenyih ! 😅
💚 The Lemuni never disappoints. 👍I love its gorgeous modern kampung ambience, welcoming, and relaxing. Our favourites were the Lepat Pisang, Daging Salai Masak Lemak, Daging Masak Hitam. Ayam Sambal, Ulam-Ulaman, Kerabu Peria and Sambal Mangga, a combination that celebrates diversity of Malaysian flavours. For dessert we had Tapai Pulut & Durian. 👎The Ikan Patin is ok, but coming from Temerluh i tasted better ones.
The Betawi impressed us with its beautiful décor and authentic Indonesian flavours. 👍 We enjoyed the Nasi Iga Bakar, Sup Ekor, Ayam Sambal, refreshing Es Teler, and perfect meal ending with crispy fried bananas served with ice cream. 👎 Maybe its just me but i do not like the Tahu Telur here. The sauce is too sweet.
Every restaurant tells a different story through its food. Different regions, different traditions, yet all connected by generous hospitality and recipes passed down through generations.
My favourite passtime, eating together, creating memories with family and friends, one delicious meal at a time.
