Flavours Kitchen, Bangsar Baru, Kuala Lumpur

Flavours is an eatery  that opened recently in Bangsar Baru by Mohd Nadzri Redzuawan, a.k.a Chef Riz (Chef Wan's son). Flavours boasts a fusion of local and western cuisine.

For starters, we had Deep Fried Wontons. The minced chicken, prawns and turnip were wrapped in wonton skin served with tartar sauce and honey mustard (RM15).


Shiv: Rather mediocre, tasted like any other wonton.

Kav: The crust was really crispy. It was not bad.

Mien: Will not order it again.

Gaj: The deep fried wontons were tasty and the honey mustard sauce was surprisingly nice.

Gaj had RIZ’s Nasi Briyani with lamb, which is Johor Famous Nasi served with Nasi Dalcha (Indian curry rice), Acar Buah (Fruit Acar) and Papadom (RM30).


Shiv: The only disappointment of the night, though it came highly recommended.

Kav: Mediocre! Lamb was unpleasantly sweet.

Mien: There was too much cardamom flavouring - too overwhelming!

Gaj: The rice and dalcha were nice, however, the lamb gravy was sweet.

We then had Salmon, a Pan Seared Salmon Fillet, Potato Purée, Puttanesca, with seasonal vegetable (RM42). *Gaj missed out on trying this dish.*


Shiv: The salmon was fresh and the flavour of the dish was impeccable.

Kav: Generally, not a fan of cooked salmon, however, loved the puttanesca that came with the dish.

Mien: Surprisingly out this world. The puttanesca sauce as not sweet and had a nice sourness to it.

Next up was the Nasi Goreng Kampung, a wok-fried jasmine rice with sambal belacan (shrimp paste), kangkung (morning glory), crispy anchovies, served with ayam kampong (free range chicken)/beef, chicken satay and keropok ikan (fish crackers), where the free range chicken was chosen (RM20).


Shiv: For someone who is not a big fan of rice, I truly enjoyed this, and would definitely come back for more. Malaysia on a plate!

Kav: One of the best nasi goreng kampung's that I have tried! The ikan bilis were crispy, satay was tender, and the egg was cooked just right - runny. Loved the sambal that accompanied it and the rice was flavoured to perfection. My only complaint was that the prawns were not fresh.

Mien: I'm not one to order a rice dish usually, but this was really really good.

Gaj: The nasi goreng was yummy-licious!

Verdict: WOK ON!

PRICE: Reasonable.

AMBIENCE: Pleasant, clean and modern.

SERVICE: Good, the waiters were polite.

FOOD: Really good, definitely worth another visit.
