MIGF 2014---NOOK RESTAURANT AT ALOFT HOTEL HAS CARVED A NICHE FOR BESPOKE FINE MALAY AKA MODERN MALAYSIAN FINE DINING!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM

As Nook is located in Aloft Hotel, which is as trendy as W but more affordably priced, you cam safely assume its decor and cuisine are not the run of mill or garden variety type. And you are right!


The decor reflects the food which is modern eclectic. There are elevated pods and private booths from where you can perch and look down on fellow diners while slurping Sarawak Laksa which is by now nationally famous and will be regionally famous by next year and then internationally famous by 2020. 


Of course Sarawak Laksa is nothing compared to Kelantan Laksa but since I am from Kelantan, I have been accused of being biased. 


So I was miffed when Chef Rozaiman Mohd Sahid did not include Nook's signature Sarawak Laksa in MIGF Festival Menu so you will have to order it separately as it is that good.


But Nook's MIGF Festival Menu is excellent with enough delights to make you say 'Yum'! The Modern Malaysian cuisine aspires to pedestalise local dishes into fine dining by mixing, matching and morphing wellknown delicacies available at hawkers' stalls with pricey ingredients.


Chef Rozaiman has successfully transformed local favourites into dazzling new creations aimed at the elitist market. And they are working like a dream!
