September the first, we gathered for another new semester. This restaurant is VERY dimly-lit, tbh I think it’s a little too dark for guests with weak vision, but it’s a place full of beautiful Middle Eastern inspired decors. I wish they put more lightings cos I find food more appetising when you can see their colours and presentations better. The cuisines here were fusional and influenced by multiple dishes from around the world. Very special and we expected heavy flavours and seasoning, but the
The cuisines here were fusional and influenced by multiple dishes from around the world. Very special and we expected heavy flavours and seasoning, but the taste turned out milder and adapted for Hong Kong ppl’s liking.

The hummus combo was my personal favourite, three coloured hummus: pink beetroot/ black truffle/ pesto (that’s what we tasted like but we weren’t very sure about the actual ingredients). The sesame bread twists were fresh and crunchy, went very well with the hummus.

Quesadilla was stuffed with chicken and cheese, hot out from the pan, with a mala dipping sauce on the side, really good, just a little numbing and not spicy.
The kebab was delicious, we had both the chicken and avocado versions. It’s wrapped with colourful veggies and the sauce inside tasted very nice.
The mains, in comparison, were not as impressive. Lasi lemak and the prawn linguine tasted standard, flavour-wise these two were a little underwhelming.
French fries were served very hot and fresh. Really crispy. The sauce was very special as it’s a sweet-ish black garlic mayo. Seldom do we find this kind of sauce in local restaurants.
Three of us had the rose water special drink and they all appreciated it. It’s very fragrant and refreshing, sweet with rosy flavours. This Iranian summer drink is called Tokhm-e Sharbati, it has rose water, chia seeds, basil and lime.
My drink was a cup of hot pistachio and cinnamon milk, called Salep. It’s apparently a Turkish drink and tasted similar to chai latte, with an additional nutty flavour from the pistachio.
Baklava was pistachio pastry. These cubes tasted like honey and were very sweet and sticky. I must admit that the cutlery, cups and plates here were delicately selected and they were gorgeously beautiful.
