Burrata Butter Chicken
Charcoal Chicken Tikka | Makhani Gravy
Among the dishes we sampled, our favourite goes to the Burrata Butter Chicken – hearty Makhani Gravy with tender pieces of chicken tikka laced with charred goodness of charcoal-grill, served over a bed of rich, creamy Makhani Gravy. Top with a whole, fresh burrata cheese that adds unique cheesy profile to the entire dish, but sooo good! Best to enjoy with LUCA evergreen flatbreads and biryani.
Jharkhand Aubergine
Crispy Aubergine | Smoked Baingan Bharta
This is actually our first time trying Smoked Baingan Bharta – a type of curry prepared from mashed fire-grilled eggplants and spices. It imparts a subtle smoky taste, soft, plus light sweetness from the vege – pairing so well in term of texture contrast with the thinly sliced, crispy aubergine artfully sitting atop!
Ragu
Beef Ribs | Rigatoni | Pecorino | Arugula
Rigatoni tossed with slow-braised beef ribs ragu, topped with arugula and shaves of pecorino cheese.
Pistachio Crusted Lamb Rack
Pistachio Crust| Truffle Pomme Puree| Heirloon Carrot | Asparagus | Plum Chutney
Seabass
Quinoa | Kale | Chimichurri | Tomato Confit | Pickled Onion
While Burrata Butter Chicken and Jharkhand Aubergine are recommended to order as sharing; Ragu Pasta, Pistachip Crusted Lamb Rack and Pan-seared Seabass with Quinoa on the other hands, are ideal as personal mains.
Crepe Suzette
Malaysian Crepe | Timah Whiskey | Orange Butter Sauce | Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
End our meal wit Crepe Suzette, a type of French dessert. Warm, soft, tender sweet treat drizzled with zesty-buttery orange syrup, flamed with Timah Whiskey.
