ARABIC- WESTERN FUSION | ALANNA'S KITCHEN @ PANDAN INDAH, AMPANG

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s certainly a pleasant and surprise discovery of Alanna’s Kitchen over here in the vicinity of Pandan Indah, Ampang.

  
Albeit the location of this hidden gem is not so conspicuously noticeable along the brisk shop lots, but its unique and affordable grubs are what have been drawing the crowds over for a scrumptious feast of Arabian and Western fares, added on with Yemeni recipes recently too. And the best of all, once gets to enjoy such authentic meal starting from MYR10 onwards generally! Isn’t that a steal? This humble establishment is thus far, one of the most wallet-friendly, delicious Arabian cuisine that anyone could savour joyfully without doing any huge damage to the pocket. The authenticity of the Arabian recipes lies in the hand of the main chef who hails from the country itself.

 

Eager to see what’s in stored for us that evening? Let’s check it out!

 

ARABIC YEMENI MANDY (COMES WITH DRINK) - MYR11.90

This Yemeni version of the Chicken Mandy seems to have won my palate over its original Arabic peer earlier on. I like how the chicken is tastefully done and well marinated while retaining its smoky juiciness. Simply superb!

 

ARABIC BBQ CHICKEN (COMES WITH DRINK) - MYR9.90

Something familiar but done the much tastier way, which is a slab of spiced chicken with the alluring red colours herbs to go with the plate of fragrant rice and fries too! (Do pay attention to the seemingly ubiquitous fries for its simple execution belies a zesty addiction due to its dashes of secret spice mixtures of its homemade curry powder. Yum yum!

 

ARABIC CHICKEN HANEETH (WITH RICE AND DRINK) - MYR9.90

For more soupy relish, this Arabic Chicken Haneeth is served in a bowl of tangy, rather clear broth that holds prominent spice taste in it. It tasted light and mild, with some faint piquancy.

 

 

NASI LEMAK SPECIAL (COMES WITH DRINK) - MYR8.90

Fried chicken lovers, you surely do not what to miss this!

 

 

 

It’s their famous nasi lemak special, served at really a good deal with generous cut of chicken thigh that is so wonderfully fried till golden brown before greeting your taste bud with uber juiciness and tenderness. So good that we all rave for a second helping unanimously.

 

 

ALANNA'S SPECIAL GRILLED CHICKEN (COMES WITH DRINK) - MYR12.90

Next up is grilled chicken with rice together with its special garlicky white sauce. Done juicily with light charred smokiness, this dish is equally mouthwatering and gonna be appealing to those health conscious folks especially.

 

 

 
FRIED CHICKEN CHOP - MYR13.90

For the fried poultry buff, you won’t go wrong with this classic deep fried chicken chop that truly lives up to its recipe- crispy on the outside while remaining juicy within.  To moist up the inviting slab of meat, you could go with the savoury brown sauce that absolutely flavors it up entirely. Having said that, am still tempted to go au natural without the sauce occasionally to really satiate the crispiness of this delight!

 

SEAFOOD TOMYAM (WITH RICE AND DRINK) - MYR9.90

Indeed a bounteous bowl of appetizing seafood soups, liberally added with assorted ingredients, namely fresh prawns, squids, clams, fragrant kaffir lime leaves and many more at a price that is truly unbelievable and hardly find elsewhere for a decent plate of Seafood Tom Yam order. Just that it could be a bit spicy and the tingling hotness actually comes echoing much later one, so just watch out (=

 

 

More Western fusion? Right away!

TREASURE OF THE SEA - MYR12.90

A rather interesting Oriental twist to the usual Western recipe, this plate of spaghetti comes al dente in a spiced, clear broth of seafood sweetness. It’s kinda light and homey!

 

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA - MYR10.90

For more luscious enjoyment, do go for this awesome pasta that is tossed in house special creamn sauce which is really, really mouthwatering! It’s not overly creamy but comes at the right richness that heightens up the overall delectation especially with the teasing black peppery kick.

 

 

CRISPY CHICKEN BURGER - MYR9.90

Though it’s a fish burger? Then it’s a no-no guess (=

 

 

Duped behind this fishy resemblance is actually a brilliantly breaded chicken meat which boasts hearty temptation but without much guilt. The accompanied homemade sauce brings out the whole satisfaction of a homemade burger, while accompanied by yummy fries that have been sprinkled with homemade garlic powder at the side. The fries are very addictive though and fingers-linking good too!

Now, let’s head on to remarkably inhouse baked confectionaries! Each available at MYR 8.90.

GREEN TEA CHEESECAKE

 

 

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE

 

OREO CHEESECAKE

 

DARK FOREST CHEESECAKE

As for these two desserts, they come at MYR8.90 each.

DARK FOREST MOUSSE

 

 

HAZELNUT MOUSSE

 

All cake comes with a choice of black coffee, earl grey tea or soft drink, available whole day. Each cake is made in small batches to ensure optimal freshness. Cases have it that those cakes are gone in less than two days! It’s no doubt that the cakes are baked with convincing indulgence using premium ingredients. Must-try as the grand finale of your meal.

 

Although am an ardent fan of matcha all year round, but this time am more drawn towards the Blueberry Cheesecake that comes at the right moist and creaminess, without being overly sweet.

 

In a nutshell, all the cakes by Alanna’s Kitchen are gladly promising and thankfully not too saccharine which makes it suitable for both young and senior customers to enjoy them. It’s not only a Muslim friendly place but also boasts a multi-racial avenue that showcases the many interesting culinary facets of various cultures- and that’s what makes it stands out (=
