'Matahari' lends its name from the Malay language meaning the SUN.
In the warm and friendly ambience of our rustic and cozy restaurant, we aim to bring you a Fusion of the various cooking styles of the mystical Far-East with particular emphasis on Malaysian, Chinese, Thai and Japanese favourites.
Malaysian cuisine itself is a combination of the cooking
methods of three nations - Indian, Chinese and Malay.
These have merged to make a unique, harmonious
blend that is an identifying characteristic of the
cuisine of this tropical peninsular. The use of
Indian spices such as cumin, tumeric and chillies,
the Chinese influence of soy sauce, garlic and
ginger, the Malay contribution of 'sambal' & a
blend of other exotic spices and the various
cooking styles of the Portuguese, Dutch and British during their years of occupation there is evident in authentic Malaysian style of dishes.
Thai food is rich in texture and characterised by flavours such as the citrus-limes, basil leaves, fresh coriander and coconut milk. An important ingredient in Thai style cooking is a mild fish sauce that is central as the main savoury flavouring.
The cuisine of Japan has enjoyed an unprecedented boom in popularity, perhaps largely due to the healthy nature of their dishes. The use of seafood, especially fish, and vegetables such as seaweed is central to the art of preparing Japanese cuisine.
We hope the above introduction will cast light on the Fusion - Concept of our unique cooking style and awaken your desire for an exclusive culinary experience.
