ZEST BAR CAFE @ Glow by Zinc

Today I am going to blog about the ZEST BAR CAFE daily set lunch.  I have blogged about ZEST BAR CAFE last year. You can see my review here. 

Following are the daily set lunch menu: 

Basically you have three types of menu to choose from. 

ZEST BAR CAFE DAILY SET LUNCH 

RM20+ PER PERSON

ZEST BAR CAFE MENU

STARTER

MIANG KAM

Betel Leaves, Coconut, Dried Shrimps, Red Onions, Peanuts, Ginger & Chilli

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: Many years back if you asked me to have miang kam, I would probably skip but years came by and I started to like taking it.  If you cannot take the betel leaves aroma, I think you will not enjoy this dish.

SOUP

TOM KHA GAI - RM12

Siam chicken soup with galangal coconut cream & local spices

TOM YAM GOONG - RM18

Fresh prawn in spicy Tom Yam Soup

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: For me, personally I prefer Tom Yam Goong over Tom Kha Gai. As the later are full of coconut flavour. If the tom yum is a bit more spicy it would be superb.

SOM TAM - RM10

Young Papaya salad with dried shrimp and spices.

YAM MOON SEN - RM12

Glass Noodle salad with prawns, ginger flowers and lime leaf.

NOODLES

PAD THAI - RM15

Wok fried thai noodles with prawns, beansprout, beancurd & egg pattaya style.

RICE

PAD KRA PRAO - RM18

Sauteed spicy minced chicken with thai kra prao leaf. 

Choice: Chicken or Beef.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: I would prefer that they put more basil in this dish. It is rather a sweet dish for me. A bit of small chili padi added into this would be nice. 

GREEN CURRY CHICKEN - RM18

Green curry with coconut and thai basil leaf. 

Choice: Chicken or Prawn.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: Their green curry chicken is quite nice. 

GAENG MASSAMAN  - RM18

Chicken cooked with rich roasted peanut curry sauce and potatoes.

Choice: Chicken or Beef.

KAENG PHET - RM18

Spicy red curry prawn and vegetables.

Choice: Prawn or Chicken.

DESSERTS

KHANOM KHAO MAO - RM7

Fried bananas with grated coconut and sticy rice.

SANG KAYA FUG TONG - RM7

Steamed sweet pumpkin with custard and coconut milk.

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict: Overall their two desserts that I have tried are quite delicious. Especially the Sang Kaya Fug Tong. It is something special which I never tried before.  It is actually steamed pumpkin dessert with egg custard.
