Every month, The Square will launch a different themed buffet line. For the month of July, it was "Sweet Indulgences" by Chef Sin Siak featuring his cakes and desserts creations.
I am honour to be invited through Open Rice to have the first insight and taste of the upcoming Peranakan Buffet Line as well as the chance to try out the July "Sweet Indulgences".What will be the first dish you can think of coming to Peranakan cuisine?
For me is Ayam Buah Keluak!

The tender and juicy chicken accompanied with the nutty flavor from the Buah Kelauak made a perfect combination. If they could be lighter on salt that will be perfect.
Babi Pongteh, stewed pork with fermented soya bean.

The chicken had absorbed the fragrance of the different condiments making it extra tasty.

It does not have much of the Assam taste of sourness with hint of spicy. It will be great if the gravy can be more flavorful.
For Bakwan Kepiting, Chef Kishen had substituted the traditional crab meat with chicken.I love the firm and springy texture of the meatballs. However, the soup base was on a saltier side which I believe can be improved on easily.

The special sauce combination of both spicy and salty brought out the sweetness of the oyster.
Chicken Shawarma is one of the must eat item on the buffet line. The well marinated chicken slices was succulent. The veggies added crunch and made the wrap super delicious.
The laska did not disappoint me, the laska gravy was surprisingly thick and flavorful. The light fragrant of the coconut milk linger in your mouth after every mouthful of gravy. The bee hoon was cooked perfectly too. Most importantly, you can choose your favorite ingredients you like for your laska.
This is the best Risotto I ever had. Those that I had before was either overcook or under cook, however the chef did it perfectly. The risotto rice was nicely incorporated with the creamy mushroom sauce. Every grain of Risotto rice was bursting with flavors.
The Durian Pengat was their signature desserts and it a definite must try. The Durian Pengat was rich yet light, I wonder how the chef achieve the amazing texture. Instead of the normal sugar, the chef used Gula Melaka to bring out the flavor of the Durian Pengat. Apart from the richness of the durian, you are able to taste the light sweetness and fragrant of the Gula Melaka.
