New Flavour Hits Bangsar
Flavours
restaurant opened its doors recently in Bangsar. The outlet features an
elegantly minimalist setting designed by Creative Director Wull Hashim that sets
the pace for its fusion inspired cuisine, which you can actually see being
prepared in its theatre kitchen. It seats 60 diners and opens from noon to 10pm
daily, except on Mondays.
The
herb garden featuring sweet basil, dill, capsicum, sage, curry leaves, rosemary
and chili padi in a planter box outside the restaurant’s entrance provides a
calming and refreshing welcome to its customers.
Flavours
is helmed by the talented Chef Nadri Redzuawan, popularly known as Chef Riz
Redz, the 30 year old son of Chef Wan who takes pride in being detailed and
imbues his creations with his personal flair. Riz's wife Ana Dahlia and cousins
are also involved in running various aspects of the restaurant.
The
Asian menu features Nasi Briyani served with either lamb or chicken, and offers
an amazing depth of flavour while the rendang, asam pedas and other dishes were
prepared according to their family recipes from Malacca.
There
are also Malaysian staples like Mee Goreng, Nasi Goreng Kampung, Mee Bandung
and Char Kway Teow, of course with Chef Riz’s unique tweak on these.
Wull
told us that they have modified the western dishes to suit Asian palates. Sure
enough, a firm favorite at the launch was the Buttermilk Pasta with deep-fried calamari.
The thick, creamy buttermilk-garlic sauce was both rich and refined, while the
curry leaves and chilli padi jostled each other in a playground of flavours that
runs riot on your tongue.
The
Amuse Bouche, French for "mouth amuser" is a tidbit served as a free extra to
keep you happy while you are waiting for your first course to come. It gives
you an idea of the chef's approach to cooking and the restaurant's attention to
your appetite. Riz described his little creations as a palate pleaser with an
Asian twist.
The
hearty Burgers on the other hand offered layers of premium beef patties, aged
cheddar, pickles and an assortment of delightfully crunchy greens that made for
a satisfying meal.
Flavours
has a lot going for it, and the dedicated team behind it will spare no effort
to make your dining experience a delight.
