Tamarind Hill’s top items are Rotis & Satays, Green Papaya & Mango Salad, Hainanese Chicken, Rendeng Beef, Kari Lamb, King Prawns with Indian Black Peppercorn and Garlic Butter.
I came here because it was highly recommended.
Roti Canai, is their signature Malaysian soft bread with pan-fried golden crust, served with a spicy curry dip.
Satays come in either chicken, beef, or lamb. These bite size meat skewers are marinated with lemongrass, turmeric, onions and coriander with a delicious peanut sauce dip.
Boneless Hainanese Chicken with Hainanese Chicken Rice is steamed, topped with light sweet soy. It comes with grated ginger green onion dip and sweet chili dip. The traditional cold Char Kuey Teow is stir fried flat rice noodle with spicy sweet soy, egg, bean sprout shrimp, fish cake & cuttlefish. Nasi Goreng is fried rice with beef, shrimp, egg, tomato, onion & green beans. It was a decent.
The food was decent but the flavours didn’t wow me, since I found Malaysian cuisine is very similar to other South Asian cuisine.
