From pork to beef, you are in for a savoury treat! Where Spanish and Malaysian culinary specialists team up to bring one of the most glorious dining sensations to meat lovers. To start things off, the Magro & Mash, pork slices paired with cheesy truffle potatoes, juicy goodness is absolutely irresistible. On the beefy side, we got ourselves the Australian wagyu beef tenderloin which is equally delicious to its porky counterpart.
Going down with their light desserts such as the lemon meringue pie, creme brulee and the soft chocolate mousse is the cherry on the top for their spectacular choices in their dishes.
