Love Nutrient Cracking Modern Nutrient @ Arena Curve, Bayan Lepas, Penang.

Western as well as Fusion nutrient are ordinarily flora inwards the Penang cafe scene but Middle Eastern cuisine has non gotten the same attending as well as limelight.

Hummus & Standard Arabic Bread (Rm 12)


Dandy Lamb amongst Rice (Rm 24)


Dandy Kebab amongst Tabbouleh Salad, Grilled Roots Vegetables as well as Tzatziki Sauce (Rm 23)

Traditional favorite similar Hummus is a fun agency to get-go the meal, Dandy's rendition had a expert mix of Olive Oil as well as perchance Sour Cream. Apart from its creamy-smooth, it possessed an indelible acidity but it was inside our acceptable range. In fact, nosotros idea it was an acquired taste- the to a greater extent than nosotros had, the to a greater extent than nosotros idea it (the sourness) blended good amongst the Chick Pea paste. The Standard Arabic Bread was a delightful addition, though it was non actually crisp or soft-pillowy but the pleasant charred smell added a squeamish send upon to the dish. 

The signature Dandy Lamb amongst Rice did non disappoint either. While nosotros idea for sure cuts of the Lamb were a tad likewise dry out to our liking, the flavored long-grain Rice was nearly lovely. It had traces of the Lamb flavors (probably from the Lard) as well as perfectly seasoned; the cleverly role of spices kept the flavors varied as well as multi-dimension. The Dandy Kebab on the other hand, paled inwards comparing amongst the erstwhile dishes. The meat lacked the juicy seize amongst teeth as well as the serving share was less-generous. No complaints for the gustation but the "X" constituent was non there, non a dish that left us amongst a positive impression.

The filling carried an indelible acidity but was counter-balanced yesteryear the sweetness of Meringue, the pastry peel was a picayune brittle though.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 compassion that nosotros could non endeavor their sum carte but I guess we'll bring to discovery out i time to a greater extent than inwards the side yesteryear side visit.
