Smoky, spicy roasted chicken packed with bold flavors, topped with nutty ground coconut and served with fresh pucuk paku (wild fern shoots) for a perfect balance of heat and earthiness. Even the chicken breast was tender and juicy. A must-try for Malaysian food lovers! 

Oxtail Asam Pedas - Braised Oxtail, Okra, Bunga Kantan, Kesum Leaves

Rich, spicy, and tangy goodness in every bite! Tender braised oxtail is slow-cooked in a fiery asam pedas gravy, packed with the bold flavors of bunga kantan (torch ginger) and kesum leaves for that signature kick. This dish is a perfect balance of heat, sourness, and deep umami. Best enjoyed with a plate of hot rice!

Gulai Itik Salai Lemak Cili Api Ala Negeri Sembilan - Smoky Duck in Rich Turmeric and Chili
Expected a fiery kick, but it turned out to be smooth, creamy, and quite comforting! The duck was incredibly tender and juicy, soaking up the rich turmeric-infused coconut gravy. While the cili api added a hint of heat, the creaminess took center stage, making this dish surprisingly mellow yet full of deep, smoky flavors. Perfect for those who love a rich, hearty dish without overpowering spice!

Gulai Pucuk Paku

Lili’s Signature Fish Curry - Okra, Mint Leaf, Crispy Shallot
Fresh, flavorful, and absolutely appetizing! The tender, fresh fish soaks up the rich, tangy curry, making every bite burst with flavor. Cooked with okra, fresh tomatoes and topped with mint leaves, this curry has just the right balance of spice and sourness, keeping it light yet super satisfying. Perfect for drenching over rice! 

Kapitan Lamb Shank - Slow Cooked One-Pot Curry Quinoa, Sweet Palermo, Labu Lenyek
Rich, aromatic, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth! The slow-cooked lamb shank was so tender and juicy, it fell apart with just a spoon. Braised in a flavorful Kapitan curry, every bite was packed with deep, aromatic spices. This dish was the perfect balance of comfort and indulgence.

Satay Platter
Juicy, smoky, and grilled to perfection! Each skewer of tender, marinated chicken has that perfect charred aroma, making it extra flavorful. Dip it into the rich, creamy peanut sauce, and you get an irresistible mix of sweet, savory, and nutty goodness. Served with nasi impit (compressed rice cakes), cucumber, and onions for the ultimate satay experience!
