1. Babe KL for tricked out Malaysian flavours (May 26 – June 30)
Think you know Ramadan food, think again? Chef Jeff Ramsay of Babe KL brings his touch of whimsy to classic Malaysian favourites. A 12-course festive menu of thoughtfully portioned bites will bring you through twists and turns of familiar flavours done in unexpected ways. Case in point: a prawn and curry leaf ice-cream will be served to end your meal.
To reserve, call 03 2095 8599 or email [email protected].
2. Ritz-Carlton KL for the festive feast they are putting’ on (May 27 – June 24)
The Cobalt Room at the Ritz will be hosting their inaugural festive feast in conjunction with the fasting month. From pillowy white bread to dunk into steaming bowls of peppery sup tulang to rows of terracotta claypots containing signature dishes from every Malaysian state to be ladled over warm rice, guests will embark on a culinary journey from Perlis to Johor, Malacca to Terengganu and then travel across the South China Sea to Sabah and Sarawak.
Also showcased are Mediterranean flavours manifested in juicy slabs of kebab slowly rotating on spinning grilles and a punchy garlic sauce to smother them in.
For reservations and enquiries, call 03 27829099 or email [email protected].
3. Pince & Pints for their Lobster Briyani Gam and Buzzy Bandung (8 May – 9 July)
The scene-stealer here may be the fresh whole lobster but don’t dismiss the biryani as second fiddle. Richly authentic to the original Johorean recipe that dates back to the 1880s, the biryani gam uses rempah made fresh in Johor and requires preparation that takes up more than half a day. The soul and decadence put into a plate of Pince & Pints’ Lobster Briyani Gam can be washed down with a Buzzy Bandung, which basically is rose syrup and evaporated milk, topped with ice-cream soda for that velvety vanilla finish.
For reservations, dial 03 2201 3233 or 017 880 0871, or visit www.pinceandpints.com.my.
