Exciting news! La Veranda has welcomed Chef Kamarul, a culinary expert with 24 years of experience in 5-star hotels and luxury fine dining. He has introduced some of his signature dishes to the menu, and I’m thrilled to share that we had the pleasure of tasting them.

Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by their attentive service team. Both of us were served with refreshing house-made drinks—a delightful fresh lemonade and iced calamansi. Soon after, they began serving us the meticulously curated dishes of the day.

For starter,
🥗Mediterranean salad
🫛Green peas soup (mint pepper flavoured thick cream peas soup with chicken broth, diced chicken thigh, and carrot foams)

Meat,
🥩 Chef’s signature of 8 hours braised beef’s cheek drizzled with truffle oil with smoked scallops on truffle mashed potatoes and veggies, finished with an aromatic crustacean foam

Pasta,
🦐Scallop and prawn ravioli (housemade ravioli filled with Hokkaido scallops and prawns served with cauliflower mousseline and crustace foam)

Pizza,
🍕Abruzzese (minced beef and lamb with mozzarella cheese, caramelised onions, capsicum, black olives, sesame paste, tomato sauce and seasoned with cumin)

Desserts,
🍋 Cannoli (south Italian deeet tubes filled with ricotta cheese, mascarpone and pistachio nuts, laid on a bed of chocolate cookies crumbles and lemon zest)

We thoroughly enjoyed the delightful array of the dishes, each one was beautifully crafted and bursting with flavours, especially the chef’s special which complemented by the rich, earthy aroma of truffle oil. It stood out for its elegance presentation.

Italian handmade pizza is a true masterpiece of culinary tradition that crafted with passion and precision. From hand stretched dough to fresh ingredients toppings, cheeses and sauce transforms a humble dish into an unforgettable experience in every bite.

Italian cuisine here celebrates simplicity and quality, with the use of fresh ingredients and artisan cheeses creating flavours that are both comforting and sophisticated. Also, it offers their rich and diverse culinary traditions while embracing modern touches that elevate the experience.

I always recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s seeking for Italian cuisine with a variety of options to choose from, nevertheless, I highly suggest dining in to experience their exceptional hospitality and top-notch service, also fresh from the kitchen serve to your table.

Kthxbye.
