Love Nutrient Kota- When Francis Meets Rempah @ Fort Cornwallis, Georgetown, Penang.

Previously a defensive fort built yesteryear Francis Light in addition to straightaway an iconic historical landmark of Penang, Fort Cornwallis welcomes a novel add-on to the heritage site- a restaurant. Step inward the Fort in addition to you lot volition live on enveloped inward a sentimental atmosphere but you lot volition presently live on glad that at that spot is an eye-catchy, brilliant in addition to seemingly inviting edifice to your right. KOTA- When Francis Meets Rempah... makes its debut final week, the advert of the house is pretty much self-explanatory; total bill of fare was non cook soundless on our visit. We idea it was a fine-Nyonya Restaurant or a house that dishes out fine Local nutrient but nosotros were proven wrong. The house dishes out Fusion dishes amongst a affect of Local-Nyonya flavors. KOTA stands out inward terms of their interior design: the usage of drinking glass window allows natural lite to alluvion inward in addition to brighten upwardly the infinite piece the dining expanse is brilliantly laid up, exuding a minimalist sort of elegance.

There is a grab earlier you lot could watch the place. As the eating theatre is located inside Fort Cornwallis... it automatically way you lot would accept to pay for the entrance fee. Rm 10 for MyCard holders but amongst every Rm xx spent inward the restaurant... you lot teach to deduct the same amount yesteryear flashing them the receipt (for example purpose: if you lot are visiting inward a grouping of 5, you lot volition postulate to pass a minimum of Rm 100 inward guild to "claim" dorsum your Rm l entrance fee). Prices may seem to live on on the higher side at first... but subsequently looking at the ambiance in addition to nutrient quality, I idea everything paid was at reasonable price. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 house that I would dear to revisit again.


Just I idea I was close to pay Rm 25 for a bowl of "Hokkien" Mee... a plate of aesthetically pleasing coiled Angel Hair Pasta amongst seemingly rich golden hue bisque clung onto it, garnished amongst ii huge Prawns in addition to Quail Eggs studded amongst Caviar... was served to my table. The whole serving of "Hokkien" was a slice of Art. I could non hold off to dig in; I was enraptured when I dropped the Pasta inward my mouth. It was robust amongst seafood flavour in addition to the sweetness of the crustacean was apparent, it shared around similarities to the proud dish of Penang- Hokkien Prawn Mee soundless unique inward its ain way. The texture was alright, though I would prefer the Pasta to live on slightly to a greater extent than al-dente. Probably Francis Light did non know how to appreciate spicy food, I genuinely idea the "Hokkien" would gustation ameliorate amongst a chili kick. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 brilliant guild for a modify in addition to definitely worth the value. 


I was non quite certain what I was ordering as I was expecting a Parfait, similar existent Parfait but KOTA's version (Rm 19) comes amongst iii jelly/ mousse-like sweetness treat- Jackfruit, Black Sesame an Pandan Coconut. I idea it was a misnomer in addition to was quite upset amongst it. I gleamed subsequently I took a modest seize amongst teeth of the "Jackfruit", as though I was biting on the existent fruit that appeared inward a dissimilar form. The texture was lite in addition to smoothen on the palate but it was a tad also sweetness to my liking. "Pandan Coconut" was as toothsome, the Pandan flavour was bold in addition to worked good amongst the engaging frisky sweeten desiccated Coconut. The "Black Sesame" on the other hand, paled when inward comparing amongst the other ii flavors as the flavour was a trivial soft inward nature, the white circular affair on travel yesteryear was Peanut Mochi amongst a difficult in addition to chewy texture. It may live on a trivial also heavy for ane to complete these alone on his/ her own.
