CINNAMON Coffee House at One World Hotel takes on the theme of ‘Warisan Bonda’ (Mother’s Heritage) for its Ramadan promotion this year to highlight its array of traditional Malay specialities featuring mum’s home-cooked recipes.
These specialities will be served alongside the restaurant’s melting pot of local and international fare, including Western, Japanese, Chinese and Indian cuisine.
Taking the spotlight are dishes like nasi ulam, while the main course section features items like Ketam Goreng Berlada, Siput Sedut Masak Lemak Cili Padi, Sotong Kari Kandar, Gulai Patin Tempoyak Pahang, Pucuk Ubi Gulai Tempoyak, Ikan Bawal Percik Tambak Johor, Udang Rendang Selat Tebrau, Rendang Daging Kuala Pilah and Peria Tumis Permata.
“Our recommendation is the Ayam Panggang Sarawak, a roast chicken dish similar to ayam percik.
“What makes it different is the herb-influenced sauce, which includes a combination of lemongrass, shallots, garlic, ginger and turmeric,” said junior sous chef Mohd Norhaslan Abu Wahab, 31.
Ramadan favourites such as bubur lambuk, lemang, ketupat palas, pulut kuning, serunding daging and rendang ayam are also served throughout the fasting month.
From the east coast: Chef Mohd Norhaslan with the Nasi Kerabu Berlauk, which is served with shredded raw vegetables and budu, a kind of pickled fish sauce.
“We would also recommend the bubur lambuk, which is cooked in beef stock and enhanced with spices like fennel seeds, cumin and coriander powder.
“The condiments like chopped carrots, celery, fried shallots and spring onions are served separately to allow diners to mix and match as they please,” said Mohd Norhaslan.
The chef who grew up in Kelantan, also took the opportunity to dish up specialities from the east coast state for the promotion, such as Nasi Kerabu Berlauk.
“Our Nasi Kerabu Berlauk is served with shredded raw vegetables and budu, a kind of pickled fish sauce.
“The dish goes well with fish crackers, grilled beef and stuffed chillies, although these items are not served here,” he said.
The carving stall offers Malay-style Whole Roast Lamb, which is served with mint and black pepper sauces, briyani rice and roasted vegetables.
