Looking for new flavours to excite the tastebuds? Come 15 to 21
Aug, head over to The Dining Room at Sheraton Towers for An
Indonesian Gastronomic Experience. Taking classic Indonesian flavours to
greater heights with French techniques and modern interpretations, Guest Chef
John Sawarto presents us with his hearty Indonesian delights.
When it comes to Indonesian cuisine, gado gado is a must-have. It
is like an Indonesian version of a salad—naked ingredients and a winning peanut
sauce. Thus, I had been looking forward to Chef John’s version of Grilled
Lobster Gado Gado—grilled lobster on tropical fruit salsa, kaffir and
kencur infused peanut dressing, micrograms and kalamansi vinaigrette. I wish I
had more peanut dressing!
Prepared with just salt and pepper and served with apple and
starfruit slaw and rujak, the Seared Foie Gras was unique to the tastebuds.
With kecap manis (love~) in the sauce, the foie gras has changed its
nationality.
My favourites would be a toss between Wagyu Beef Cheek Rendang
and Crispy Spiced Duck Confit. Slow-braised in rendang spices and
coconut cream for 6 hours, the Wagyu
Beef Cheek Rendang is melt-in-the-mouth delicious. The rendang is
accompanied with fragrant jasmine rice infused with saffron and lemongrass and
vanilla poached petit brastagi potatoes. I could have the rendang spicier, but
that is just my personal preference.
Crispy Spiced Duck Confit is Chef John’s take on Bali’s
famous dirty duck diner’s crispy duck. Braised then pan-seared, the meat is
tender and not dry. Drizzled in its natural reduction and puree of sambal
terasi, this reminds me of a hearty Confit de Canard a la Asian.
The sweet highlights include Homemade Chendol Panna Cotta
and Banana Tempura. Lovers of Chendol will love Chef John’s Homemade
Chendol Panna Cotta. Using Okinawa brown sugar, this custard dessert is
refined and subtle in sweetness, yet bursting with distinct flavours of
chendol. Served with torched ginger sorbet, this is a lovely interpretation of
the traditional Italian dessert!
Have the Banana Tempura if you miss your goreng pisang. A
perfect crisp fritter of sweet banana, rich pandan homemade sri kaya, and
tropical coconut ice-cream, each component is yummy on its own.
Just one word: Enak!
