Enak KL Feast Village Starhill Gallery New Menu 2018

ENAK KL AT FEAST VILLAGE STARHILL GALLERY CELEBRATES ITS REOPENING IN A NEW LOCATION WITH A REFRESHED MENU

In celebration of its 13th anniversary this year, Enak KL is reopening its doors in a new location within Feast Village Starhill Gallery, in the heart of Bukit Bintang, with a promise to serve authentic Malay cuisine through its thoughtfully curated menu. 

The well-established modern Malay restaurant is now centrally located in Feast Village, making it even more accessible to guests. Guests can once again relish in harmoniously balanced flavours that are distinctively Malay.

In keeping with Enak’s signature of serving only traditional Malay flavours, the chefs continue to pay homage to their culinary forefathers while still paying attention to the intricacies of food presentation. 

The new Enak continues to deliver heartwarming classics of Malay cuisine through the skilled and long-time chef Rani bin Ghazali. Chef Rani has been an integral part of the Enak kitchen from the very beginning, having developed his love for all things traditional on his mother’s knee. Chef Rani brings to the table recipes that he grew up on and learned all about the treasures of traditional Malay cuisine.

The menu stays true to its essence with an emphasis on keeping the Malay flavours simple, delicious yet authentic. The recipes will not just continue to revolve around age-old ones that have been passed down through the generations but also feature a new and exciting selection to explore.

In this, ever-popular dishes such as Sup Ekor and Ikan Asam Pedas keep their place on the menu. They are joined by exquisite new flavours in dishes such as the kerabu jambu air ikan bilis, traditionally served at weddings and family celebrations in the north of Malaysia. 

The pièce de résistance is the newly introduced Bakar section of the menu, which features fresh fish grilled over an open coal grill, and wrapped in banana leaf with a terutup glaze or simply seasoned with salt and pepper. 

The Bakar dishes come with a choice of no less than four types of sambal – Air Assam Jawa, Kicap Cili Padi, Sambal Belacan and Sambal Hijau. 

Another new addition to the à la carte menu is the serawa durian – the king of fruits simmered gently in coconut milk and palm sugar and paired with steamed glutinous rice and roti jala. 

Guests can expect to dine in comfort enveloped by the warmth of the earth tones and textures that adorn Enak, accompanied by the flavourful and familiar aroma that fills the air. 

Bringing to bear years of winning awards and rave reviews, such as Malaysia’s Best Restaurants by Malaysia Tatler, Time Out Kuala Lumpur Food Awards, ranked No. 4 in both CNNGo.com’s Top 20 Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur and Hotels.com’s Top 10 Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, and being featured on the Asian Food Channel, the new Enak KL promises an unforgettable dining experience for all on every occasion.
