Ramadan Dinner at Union Bistrot, TRX: A Fusion Feast to Remember

Ramadan is a time for reflection, togetherness, and of course, indulging in heartwarming meals. This year, I had the pleasure of experiencing a delightful Ramadan dinner at Union Bistrot, TRX, a place that masterfully blends local flavors with global inspirations. With its contemporary interior and inviting ambience, the restaurant set the perfect tone for an evening of culinary exploration. A Flavorful Start The meal kicked off with an array of beautifully crafted appetizers that set high expectations for the night: • Kurma Krunch – A unique take on a traditional favorite, this dish featured a kurma (date) compote nestled in a peanut butter chocolate tart, offering a rich and indulgent start to the meal. • Shrimply Soto with Roti John – A clever fusion of flavors, this dish combined a mantou-style Roti John with shrimp Soto soup, topped with crispy fried Soo Hoon for a delightful crunch. • Murtabak – Taking a twist on the classic, the chicken murtabak was wrapped in Lobak skin and served alongside a chicken potato curry, creating a harmony of textures and flavors. The Main Event: Fusion at Its Finest The mains showcased the chef’s creativity, blending beloved Malaysian flavors with modern execution: • Percik Poulet – A highlight of the night, this fusion take on percik chicken was served with percik sauce and smoked aioli, enhancing its smokiness and depth of flavor. • Sayur Lodeh Puff Dome – A unique presentation of traditional Lodeh vegetables encased in a golden puff pastry, giving the dish a contrast of crispy and creamy textures. • Sates-fying Biryani – This dish lived up to its name with a flavored basmati rice paired with braised lamb stuffed in a minced chicken skewer, served with a satay sauce and pickled cucumber salsa for a burst of spice and tanginess. A Sweet Ending to a Memorable Meal Just when I thought the meal couldn’t get any better, dessert arrived: • Umm Ali Cheesecake – A luxurious fusion of pistachio cheesecake, Kataifi pastry, candied pistachio, almonds, sultanas, and a drizzle of orange sauce. The combination of creamy, nutty, and citrusy flavors made this an unforgettable finale. 🕰️Business Hours: 10am to 10pm 📍Address: L1.46 The Exchange TRX 💰Average Price per Person: RM100 Every dish at Union Bistrot was a testament to the restaurant’s creativity and passion for bold flavors.
