Kembara – From Dim Sum to Dessert: A Pan-Asian Feast
Starters: We kicked off our gastronomic journey with a selection of starters that were as beautiful to look at as they were to eat. The corn dim sum was perfection—delicate, flavorful parcels that melted in the mouth. The turnip cake was light and had the perfect dipping sauce that added just the right kick. But the showstopper? The Chicken Gyoza – delectable, vibrant, and just the right amount of heat—it was like a little party on our palates.
Main Course: For the mains, Kembara really brought its A-game. The aromatic noodles were a revelation—perfectly cooked, with a symphony of textures and tastes that danced in harmony. And let’s not forget the pepper chicken —each piece was a work of art, bursting with freshness and balanced flavors. The mains were so good that we found ourselves slowing down, just to prolong the experience.
Dessert: Just when we thought things couldn’t get any better, dessert arrived to prove us wrong. The cheesecake was a delightful surprise, creamy and rich with just the right hint of earthiness. The Water Chestnut with coconut milk was the kind of dessert that dreams are made of— utterly irresistible.
