Harlan opens a casual and informal restaurant concept named COMFORT which allow guest to experience a relax dining experience . At Comfort, you will find different international culinary delights such as beef brisket curry (Thai), pasta, pizza, burger and steaks by looking the choices of the menu.The menu is easy to read and understand because it is categorised into three parts: Something wet, Something small and Comfort's special dishes. In addition, the prices are pretty reasonable; starters a
After we have read through the menu, we decided to try some of the signature dishes:
1. Truffled Tartare
2. Lemon herbed Halloumi cheese on Indian Spiced Spinach
3. BaoBao -Crispy Soft Shell Crab, Asian Slaw& Sriracha Mayo
4. Slow Cooked pork Duroc Spanish pork ribs
5. Spanish Seafood paella (Bomba Rice. Clams, Squids, Prawns and Garlic Aioli)
Firstly, we ordered the truffled beef tartare, the beef tartare is chopped in a prime beef style and the texture is so moist and tender. Italian flatbread itself has a salty taste which is perfectly goes with the beef tartare.
Secondly, we choose to have somthing spanish, so we ordered the spanish seafood paella. It serves in a slizzing hot clay bowl providing different types of seafood such as clams, king prawns, squids, bomba rice and garlic aioli. The seafood are pretty fresh but the way they cook bomba rice is not al dente and tender either.
Thirdly, the pork ribs are cooked in a process of slow cooked , smoked and grilled ; As a result, the porb ribs turn out to be so juicy and tender that it's melts so quickly once you have the first bite of it. Also, it comes with italian vinegar in order to enhance stronger flavour of the meat. In addition, it claims itself to be "the best pork ribs in LKF" on the menu, I believe you deserve to be call this way.
In addtion, this dish is quite an unusual vegeterian dish that they offer. Hallomi Cheese is made from a mixture of goat and sheep cheese, and it melts so easily when it cooks in a pan fried or deep fried method. This time, Harlan chooses to cook hallomi cheese in a pan fried method, it cooked so well that the texture becomes very chewy and soft. In addition, hallomi cheese has a stronger flavour of salitiness itself which compare to other cheese we normally have, it's perfectly match with the mashed Indian spiced spinach which has a pretty light and fresh flavour.
Furthermore, crispy soft crab sandwich is wrapped with chinese buns and served in a dim sum wooden container,the crispy soft crab is crispy and not so oily as I thought however the deep fried powder is rather too thick and too dry. In addiiton, Sriracha Mayo is the sauce that comes with this crispy crab sandwich which is perfectly match because it has a flavour of spicy and finish off with some asian slaw to reduce the oiliness.
Finally, in my food diary dictionary, having meals without dessert are considered to be incomplete. Therefore we ordered:1. Old school apple crumble, caramel, vanilla ice-icecream
2. Dark Chocolate Mousse with Amaretto Cherries, Honeycomb and Crispy Popcorn
Apple Crumble is one of the common and traditional desserts that many restaurant and cafe offer, it comes in a pot with warm freshly baked apple crumble, the texture of the crumble is so crispy with caramel in the outside, to balance the sourness of apple. Also, it's perfectly matches with Vanilla ice cream.
This dessert comes in a jar with dark chocolate mousse, the texture is smooth, fluffy and the the flavour itself is quite light and intense. Also, cherries, honeycomb and crispy popcorn are hidden inside the dark chocolate mousse while you are scooping half way, as a result, you can feel the crunchiness of honeycomb and poporn, sweet and sour of cherries that enlighten your sense of taste.While we are enjoying the dessert, the waiter suddenly put down the bill on our table and this action really make us feel so annoyed because no one tell us that there are two time slots beforehand. This leave us such an unpleasant dinner and I definitely wouldn't consider here as my food option again
