Aromatic Oxtail Soup At Savaro by Felda Solaris Dutamas by Best Restaurant To Eat

Oxtail Soup



This is another innovative dish. Here the chef, have added some curry into the cooking of this traditional English Oxtail Soup thereby enriching it to be best of both world. With the spices added to it, it marries the authentic Malay version sup ekor flavour to this soup.


With a chunk of Australian beef tail which was slow cooked, the aroma and taste of the soup was mesmerising. You can taste the strong stew slowly down the throat as you take sips of this warm soup.


Unfortunately, the serving of the soup is not that much. You really have to enjoy every little sip before it is finish.

Assam Pedas Fish - Bamboo Stalk Rice Savaro Solaris Dutamas Publika By Best Restaurant To Eat

Assam Pedas Fish - Bamboo Stalk Rice


Another unique presentation of the food is that the rice comes in Bamboo Stalk. It is indeed innovative to use this as it is not only very pleasing to the eyes but giving a Malaysia feel. In Sarawak, the Iban uses bamboo to cook rice and dishes.


First we have the Assam Pedas Fish. Assam Pedas Fish is a very popular dish from the southern part of Malaysia mainly from Melaka and Johor.


At Savaro, the chef uses the tenggiri fish and the must have ladies fingers to cook this specialty. Taste wise, it was a little tad salty and it does not really have the spiciness and sourish kick of the traditional Assam Pedas of traditional makan place. Moreover the tenggiri was a little too hard. Either the fish might have been kept frozen for too long or the chef have overcooked it.

This Assam Pedas Fish is served with flavoured white rice.

Savaro Bambu Savaro Rice Solaris Dutamas by Best Restaurant To Eat

Bambu Savaro Rice



The next rice dish we had was the Bambu Savaro Rice. As I tasted this dish, it reminds me of the Manuk Pansuh – Iban Bamboo Chicken with the rice serves in the Bamboo Stalk.


If the chef have cooked the chicken n the bamboo stalk it would have been perfect. Tasting the tender chicken cutlet which was cooked with ginger and mushroom, it also had the taste similar to those of the Chinese Ginger Chicken style.


The dish also comes with salted egg, pickled acar and sambal belacan. The gravy goes well with the white rice that was served. Best eaten in the Bamboo Stalk where the rice comes in.

Solaris Dutamas Savaro Noodles at Savaro by Best Restaurant To Eat

Savaro Noodles

Another example of a creative dish which is the Savaro Noodle – it is a marriage of North and South. Here the chef had combined two of the most famous Malay noodles i.e. the famous Mee Udang from the North and popular Mee Bandung from the south.


It is a very distinctive taste as you can taste the rich broth, which have the taste of both of these famous noodles. The spiciness is just right and the amount of ingredient laden on the noodle is plentiful too.


It has boiled prawns, slices of roast beefs, shredded roast chicken, fish cakes and cockles and a half boiled egg. I would have preferred that the chef garnish the dish with prawns that was cooked in the broth rather than giving the boiled prawns as this is not very flavourful and tasted bland.

Moreover the cockles were very rubbery and overcook. It would be nice to have cockles that are freshly cooked rather than already pre-cooked. Anyway if you yearn a shot of Mee Udang or Mee Bandung and cannot travel too far North or South, you can give this a try.
