[caption id="attachment_5803" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Worker's Lunch Menu[/caption] Our group booking was for more than 8 people, so we had to either choose the $45 banquet menu or go for the $15 worker's lunch. We opted for the latter. The menu has changed since I last visited. [caption id="attachment_5804" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Charcoal Grilled Corn w. Dried Maize[/caption] The topping on the grilled corn was maize rather than paprika, but like last time, the corn was juicy and was even more delicious with the crunchy topping. The cauliflower and freekeh salad was also...

I quite like saltimbocca so I thought I'd give it a go here. What came out was not what I'd been visualising when I ordered. It seemed like the ham had been tossed with the veal rather than being layered on top and I also couldn't see any sage leaves. Although the meat was very hot, the surrounding sauce had already started to congeal when it was placed on the table; it didn't look particularly appetising. The flavours were still OK, though not outstanding, and at least the...

The garlic wasn't too overpowering and I liked the amount of cucumber in it. There was, however, a lot of dressing. I wasn't able to finish the final layer of salad because there was too much - it was basically swimming in dressing. Despite this, the salad was still enjoyable because the lamb was nicely cooked and seasoned well. There were a few pieces that...

Appetisers were satay (this time the veggie sticks came with ketupak) and wasabi prawn and grilled scallops with papaya salsa and salad. The prawn was quite nice. The scallops were pretty brown and for a moment I forgot that the appetiser included scallops and thought it was some sort of potato or bread. Mains were: Braised lamb shank in coriander tomato jus (signature dish by Zubir Zain. With Mediterranean veggies, eggplant mille feuille, buttered cheese tortellini and lemon gremolata); Chicken rendang; Stir-fried prawn with dry chili w. rice,...
