I went for lunch and Sandhya Johari, the Marketing Manager at Ka Hospitality kept me company and sportingly recommended her favourite dishes from the menu.
For the mains I decided to go for honey smoked spare ribs - succulent pork spare ribs glazed with honey and smoked in house with jasmine tea and Malay lotus leaf rice - fried rice cooked with veggies wrapped in lotus leaf. Well, the spare ribs were one of the most tender and crispy pork preparations I've ever had. It had a nice sweet+spicy flavour with an added touch of smokiness. The Malay lotus leaf rice came packed in a dry lotus leaf and was fun to eat right from the little leaf parcel. While I was too full to order more I'd recommend that you order the rice with some sauce since it's a little dry.
Ordering dessert was a little tough given to all the beautiful looking sweetness I had seen on the dessert counter as I entered the restaurant. On Sandhya's recommendation I tried the jasmine cake - jasmine infused milk chocolate mousse, layered with feuilletine, sacher and jasmine ganache. The plating was enough for me to start drooling. As I cut through the soft cake there was a hard layer of chocolate inside. The cake was served with a dollop of ice-cream and chocolate praline on the side. With a typical case of 'pet to bhar gaya par dil nahi bhara' I finished my meal.
On my way out I spotted the pretty looking raspberry delice and kicked myself for not trying it and after reading The Big Bhookad's review I kick myself some more.
Must try - Black pepper lamb roll, honey smoked spare ribs, jasmine cake.
