A Fresh Start to Your Culinary Adventure

These starters provide the perfect balance of Mediterranean authenticity and Malaysian innovation.
Main Dishes: Fusion of Mediterranean and Malaysian Flavors
Our main dishes take the fusion of flavors to the next level. The Lamb Shank in Arrabbiata Sauce is a showstopper—tender lamb slow-cooked in a spicy tomato sauce, served with Baba Ganoush, pickled pomegranate, onions, and charred kale. If you’re craving beef, our Beef Brisket is cooked for eight hours to perfection, served with mashed potatoes and the surprising zing of bean sprouts kimchi and peppercorn harissa sauce for a delicious contrast of textures and flavors.
We also offer Duck Leg Confit, prepared in the traditional French style but served with a Malaysian twist—lentil curry and mixed ulam-ulaman salad, creating a fusion of French technique and Malaysian boldness. For poultry lovers, our Deboned Chicken Leg, cooked sous-vide in harissa and served with cherry tomatoes, beans, hummus, and harissa sauce, offers a perfect combination of flavors. Seafood enthusiasts will enjoy our Pan-Seared Sea Bass, paired with preserved lemon couscous and a tomato olive sauce, a Mediterranean favorite with a fresh zing.
Freshly Made Pasta: A Labor of Love
