Southeast Asian delights at Miramar

I have always loved Southeast Asian food and there are so many variations.

At Sungei Wang they specialise in Malaysian dishes.



Here's what we tried
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Barley and lemon drink:
This was thick with a strong lemon taste.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Grapefruit and seafood salad dressed in Iced plum juice

I found the dressing too sweet because the seafood tasted sweet.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bak Kut Teh

The bak kut teh broth could have been stronger because I like the herbs to be strong.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roti

The roti was soft and flakey which was delicious with the curry sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roasted eggplant and dried fish with sambal chili sauce

This was my favourite because it came with yoghurt sauce that gave it an Indian touch to it.
I don't normally like Sambal sauce but the lemongrass was light so I found it palatable.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Thai beef short beef

The beef was juicy paired with delicious tangy sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Garlic and cheese scallop

I don't think this is Asian but the scallops were juicy and big.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Malaysian curry chicken
The chicken in the curry was tender because it was spring chicken but it was not reflected on the English menu.
I really liked this curry because it was light and there were lots of earthy mushrooms in it which always go well with chicken.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Singapore pepper crab
The crab was really tasty and springy but the pepper was not strong enough.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chicken Satay:

Juicy chicken satay skewed with chicken breast which had a strong taste of cumin.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Indonesian fried rice:

The Indonesian fried rice was served in a sizzling pot which burnt the rice on the edges giving you an interesting mix of soft rice and crispy rice.
Again, the fried rice could have been spicier. 
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
They are currently experimenting on the dishes because people in different areas of Hong Kong have different tastebuds and requirements, but in my opinion I would like the herbs and spices to be stronger.
