Time really flies when you are in Malaysia, where we celebrate one celebration after another in less than a month. We are now counting days until the month of fasting, which is synonymous with Malay or Kampung’s food findings!
Look forward to St. Giles, Southkey’s Sajian Nostalgia” buffet this Ramadan which features local favourites. During the sneak preview, the roasted ‘Kambing Pak Mus’ on a bed of fragrant yellow rice, first greeted me. This dish is something that a kampung’s kenduri would have.
Next, the smell of Roti Jala lingers in the air and it goes with sardine curry, a unique option for its gravy, instead of the usual chicken curry! It definitely reminded me of the time when it was raining and my grandmother opened up a can of sardine to cook which is perfect to dip with pancakes.
As a huge fan of Lemang and Ketupat Palas, I was delighted to find them perfectly cooked and it had the right amount of chewiness. There are endless dishes available and I paired them with some nice, traditional, Perakian-style beef rendang and sprinkles of delicious Beef Floss (serunding). Pretty hearty start!
A piece of Grilled Eel with Pandan lured me with its fragrant and needless to say, help me replenish some omega-3 in my system. For the seafood fans, it’s a party of fresh choices on iceand coconut milk-ladened Malay-dishes.
Enjoying the walk down the memory lane there, I had to follow up the Pandan’s scent withsome KuihSeriMuka that brought glow to the people at our table. At Causeway Cafe, my must-have-sweet item also has to bethe Baskin Robbins ice-cream which is perfect for the fasting season! I had opted for the raspberry flavour which I found to be refreshing. There are also some classic Hari Raya biscuits that might take you into the time machine.
