Where Malay flair meets Nyonya elegance
BOLD new Malay flavours amid Baba-Nyonya heritage are what awaits guests at a serene dining enclave in Putrajaya.
With new additions to its menu, Madam Lee Nyonya Private Dining promises a unique dining experience.
Located in Palm Garden Hotel, the restaurant is set in a three-storey standalone building adjacent to the hotel's Rafflesia Ballroom.
The new menu continues to honour classic Nyonya favourites while introducing five new Malay-style cooking methods.
These are masak lemak Minangkabau, masak kicap, bakar bakar, sambal cili api and goreng berempah.
(Clockwise from top) Udang Goreng Berempah, Daging Masak Kicap, Oxtail Sambal Cili Api and Bakar Bakar Seabass.
New creations to try include the Siput Sedut Masak Lemak Minangkabau, Paru Sambal Cili Api, Oxtail Masak Kicap and Bakar-Bakar Udang Harimau.
These dishes complement existing signature dishes like Ayam Kapitan, Tamarind Prawn, Peranakan Beef Rendang and Nyonya Chap Chye.
There are also new Nyonya items to choose from such as Chilled Otak-otak, Inchi Kabin (Nyonya-style fried chicken) and asam laksa.
Chef de cuisine Muhammad Shaharizal Ahmad Sobry, known as Rizal, leads the restaurant's culinary team. He is known for his passion for authentic traditional Malaysian cuisine.
With past experience in prestigious five-star hotel kitchens, Rizal ensures that all pastes are prepared in-house using fresh local ingredients.
Diners can also indulge in reimagined Nyonya fusion desserts.
Highlights include Sago Cha Cha with Taro Ice-Cream, Pineapple Pulut Hitam Creme Brulee, Onde-Onde Cake with Vanilla Ice-Cream, Coconut Cendol Cheesecake and Pulut Tai Tai with Caramelised Banana.
The eatery's semi-fine dining concept is paired with cultural charm.
From the elegant reception area adorned with Nyonya antiques to the airy middle-floor dining hall and the al fresco Baba Bar, every detail has been curated to celebrate Peranakan elegance.
The restaurant features private rooms while the entire venue is available for weddings, anniversaries or family celebrations.
Madam Lee Nyonya Private Dining is open daily from 10am to midnight.
