Highlights of this feast are:
Punten + Sambal Ijo. Punten origin from Java, it is a rice cooked with coconut milk, crushed and mould into desired shape. It is rich, creamy and together with Chef Mel Dean’s sambal ijo, it has a kick to our palate and a good start to the meal.

Pulut Kuning + Beef Rendang + Javanese Sambal Goreng. The yellow glutinous rice is packed with turmeric. The beef rendang is rich and fork tender and goes well with the sambal goreng made with potatoes and long beans.

Nasi Goreng Rawon + Ayam Goreng Rempah + Sambal Quail Eggs. This flavourful fried rice is made with beef and candlenut soup. It paired well with the tasty fried chicken and the rich quail eggs chilli.

Gado Gado. My favourite Indonesian salad. A combination of rice cake, fried tofu, bean sprout, fried tempeh, cabbage and keropok bind by thick, tasty and rich peanut sauce. I will usually drizzle peanut sauce until it covers the whole plate.

Mee Siam Mamak. LD like the version here because of the bold flavours. It is sweet and tangy, plus the chilli is also power. Yummy!!

Seafood Lemak Casserole + Rawon Risotto. I called this combination as Surf and Turf. The seafood lemak casserole is rich, creamy, infused with fish and prawns plus the flavour bomb from the Lemak Api Chilli.

Meanwhile, the Rawon Risotto has a closer texture to a fried porridge. It is tasty and it is great to eat with a keropok.
Soto Lamongan. Indonesian chicken consommé, flavoured with turmeric, coriander, candlenut, galangal and kaffir lime. A comforting bowl of soup.
Chargrilled Striploin with Sambal Geprek, Lemak Cili Api Sauce & Sambal Ijo. I always like the chargrilled striploin here. The beef is lean, yet tender. For me the Lemak Cili Api is the perfect companion for this dish.

Botok Botok Barramundi. Chef Mel Dean version of Barramundi Otah. The fish is silky and the spices paired well with the fish. One of our favourite dish of the night!!.

Bubur Som Som + Kolak Pisang + Kole Kole Temasek. A sweet ending to the evening. Three traditional dessert that are full of flavours. I wanted to go for second round, but there was just too much food.

By the way, I just found out there is a DIY Chendol Corner. So if you are in Permata, keep a look out for this.
Overall, it was another gastronomic journey at Permata, curated by Chef Mel Dean and his team. My picks are Seafood Lemak Casserole, Botok Botok Barramundi, Nasi Goreng Rawon, Beef Rendang and Bubur Som Som + Kolak Pisang + Kole Kole Temasek. Cheers!!
