PETALING JAYA, June 16 — There was a time when I used to have regular work trips to Penang. One of the things I most looked forward to was the late dinner near my hotel after work. Hot and crispy garlic naan fresh out of the oven. Tandoori chicken, slightly charred yet still moist.What could be more rejuvenating than a dish of this textural wonder? The soft, velvety puréed spinach and the tender grilled cubes ofIt’s divine.regularly, perhaps in other dishes.
Originating in the Cuban communities of Florida, a Cubano is typically made with ham and roasted pork marinated withSuperfine’s version does the original justice; besides theroasted pork shoulder, the sourdough sandwich is layered with provolone cheese and pickled gherkins. A healthy slathering of corianderAnother sandwich that does the trick is the Pastrami Reuben.
What is brunch without burgers and fries? Double the fun with the Superfine Burger . A tangy tomato-chilli relish hits the spot; same goes for the chunky chicken salt fries. Those who relish something more fiery can try their Nashville Hot Chicken Burger. The same sesame brioche but with a buttermilk fried boneless chicken thigh in between the buns, brushed with some Nashville-style hot oil.
As a matter of fact, that buttermilk fried chicken reappears a couple of times on the menu. I have had it with a Belgian waffle, topped with a sunny side up, as well with their house-made buttery cornbread.But it’s their big breakfasts that remain a standout. Another stunner is their Full Breakfast. Here, as with their Fresh Aussie Breakfast, there areeggs , blistered cherry tomatoes and roasted mushrooms. The same toasted seeded sourdough bread too.
