For the month of August, The Square is offering Perankan cuisine.
Openricers were invited to taste some of the selected dishes prior to the Peranakan launch and the restaurant International Buffet spread.
From the sea food platter, there were fresh prawns, mussels and huge oysters.
The Canadian oysters were fresh, plumpy and creamy.
The Middle Eastern dish "Chicken Shawarma" cooked on a rotisserie is also a dish not to be missed. The well marinated chicken slices were very tasty.
Local dish "Black Pepper Crab" was not as peppery hot as I expected.
The open concept kitchen allows dinners to interact with the chefs and special request is available to sooth individual taste bud.
One of the highlight was the Cheese Risotto that will be cooked in a 38kg of paramessan wheel.
You can request your own delicison a-la minute Risotto.
The Roast of the Day and Chef's Recommendation was the Korean Chilli Rub Roasted Lamb. The lamb is marinated with sake and Korean chilli before oven seared and slowly roasting to a golden colour yet maintaining the meat pinkish.Cooked dishes served in warmer included Clam in white wine sauce and Chicken Lemongrass with Coconut.
The Peranakan dishes that were served to Openricers were Chicken Devil Curry, Ayam Buah Keluak, Nonya Assam Fish, Babi Pongteh, Kueh Pie Tee, Bakwan Kepiting Soup and Nonya Kueh.
I was disappointed with the Buah Keluak dish, the chicken meat that I chose was tough and under cooked. Buah Keluak kernels were hard.
There were two variations of Nonya Styled Assam Fish presented to us for tasting. Grouper steamed and another deep fried. Though both fishes were fresh, there was lack of the assam flavour. It should be a potent combination of all in one - spiciness, sourishness and umami flavours.
Chef Kishen presented his own version of Bakwan Kepiting replacing the crab meat with chicken.The traditional Bakwan Kepiting has a combination of minced pork and crab meat cooked with chicken broth. Though the meatballs were palatable, the soup was too salty.
The Babi Pongteh dish was served with prime pork ribs instead of pork belly without potatoes and mushrooms. This dish was tasty and the meat just slipped from the bone at first bite.There were also a variations of Nonya kueh kueh.
The Chicken Devil Curry was too hot for my palate.
These dainty crispy Kueh Pie Tee were indeed appetizing that we requested for a second helping.
Without hesitation, Chef immmediately prepared another plate for us.
Oysters Fritters was specially prepared for Openricers by Sous Chef Jimmy.The plumpy and juicy fresh oysters coated in battered was just yummy. A secret recipe sauce complemented the oysters very well.
At the special Salad Corner , diners can choose from the array of greens and sauces to mix and match.
The Square “Durian Pengat” a “must try” dessert for durian lovers. Richened with coconut milk and gula Melaka. Rich, sweet and creamy light texture will make you crave for more.
For sweet indulgences, there are specially baked cakes prepared by the Chef such as Chocolate Pineapple Cake, Raspberry Earl Grey Cake, Orange Tea Cake and Chocolate Nutty Cake. A "must try" recommendation.
By the way, all those yummilicious desserts were created by La Vie magazine's Chef for the month of July 2015 Mr. Sin Siak.The F&B team were very attentive and courteous. Their service was commendable.
Special thanks to Marketing Manager Mr. Spencer Mong for spending time with us at this Food Tasting event.
