Nasi Lemak, Pork-Free
It's been quite some time since my last visit to The Curve, and I was pleasantly surprised to see several new F&B outlets that had popped up. Among the new additions, Flint caught my eye with its modern design and spacious, inviting atmosphere. The cafe exudes a contemporary vibe, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and event hosting events. Intrigued by its ambiance, I decided to give Finch a try, especially since their menu features a mix of Western and Malaysian favourites.
After browsing through the diverse menu, I opted for their Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah (RM24.90), a quintessential Malaysian dish. One unique aspect of Finch's Nasi Lemak is the option to choose from four types of sambal, which adds a personalized touch to the meal. I decided to go with their in-house special, Sambal Balut, and also a Sambal Terengganu (with tuna bits) eager to see how it would enhance the dish.
When the Nasi Lemak arrived, the presentation was appealing. The rice was firm and whole, a good start, but I did notice it lacked the fragrant aroma that usually accompanies well-made Nasi Lemak. This was a bit disappointing as the aroma of the rice often sets the tone for the entire dish. However, the Sambal Balut quickly made up for it. It was savoury and spicy, packing a punch of flavours that I really enjoyed. The sambal had a good balance of heat and taste, which complemented the other elements on the plate. The Sambal Terengganu was sweetish so I casted that aside.
The ayam berempah, a spiced fried chicken, was the next component I tried. While it had a decent flavour, the texture was a bit too soft for my liking. I prefer a slightly firmer meat texture. Nevertheless there are many fans of their ayam berempah.
The other condiments were delightful, particularly the crispy ikan bilis (anchovies). They added a satisfying crunch to each bite, and their saltiness paired well with the sambal and rice. The peanuts were fresh and crunchy, and the hard-boiled egg was perfectly cooked.
Flint's inviting atmosphere and the unique option to customize your sambal make it a notable addition to The Curve's dining scene. While there is room for improvement in some areas, Flint provides a satisfying experience and I am thinking of returning to try their beef sliders.
