Moroccan Nutrient @ Instant Fes Hammam Together With Cafe, Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya

I'm eternally grateful to my friend S....it's because of her that nosotros discovered this piddling Moroccan jewel of a identify hidden inward suburbia. NST's Dominicus Times had clued her inward on this cafe's beingness but she had scouted it for us together with gave her lip smacking blessing earlier nosotros stepped into this cosy cafe.
       The cafe together with the Moroccan Hammam bathroom side past times side to it is owned past times a twosome (one one-half is Moroccan piece the other is local). The infinite is given a Moroccan experience amongst intricate lamps, terra cotta engravings together with at that spot is fifty-fifty a natural springtime inward the front. As due south had thoughtfully booked ahead, nosotros had the individual room to ourselves, where nosotros lounged on long couches. Since it was quite a few of us inward that space, nosotros knocked elbows a piddling equally nosotros dined. Nevertheless ane does bask the whole ambience within the room specially amongst the beautiful shadows casted from the carved lamps. Completing the whole ambience was the bold patterned plates our nutrient came in. 
       I've ever loved Moroccan nutrient together with ane of my culinary heroes is Claudia Roden who is famous for her Middle Eastern cookbooks. Their nutrient is fragrant amongst a lovely subtleness that has a magical appeal which draws me back. At Min Fes, nosotros felt the nutrient exudes a ane of a sort home-like experience (from what I read they operate the owner's mother's recipes) making it a course of education higher upwardly whatever other eating seat inward town.
       As usual, nosotros guild a feast that the tabular array is literally groaning from the weight of the food. Chief favourites voted past times many tummies (7 to live on exact) were the lamb aukdah (RM15) together with the chicken couscous (RM20). The lamb aukdah is perfect for lazy eaters. No wrangling amongst bones equally the lamb is all shredded upwardly together with mixed amongst diced tomatoes together with onions. What makes it perfect are the subtle spices that come inward it, equally you lot consume each bite, you lot tin experience each layer on your natural language - a hint of cinnamon, a hint of sweetness together with and then forth. 
        Only available for Fri is Morocco's national dish, the couscous. They serve ii varieties: lamb (RM25) together with chicken. The chicken version is far superior inward gustation compared to the lamb. The couscous is said to live on steamed v times over the chicken broth, which produces these aromatic fluffy grains. It is topped amongst chunky fork tender portions of carrots, celery together with pumpkin. 
       We had ii types of lamb tagine (RM20 each), ane amongst vegetables together with the other amongst prunes. The substance is soft together with the juices of the dish is superb equally everything cooks downward to a lite tasty broth. Appetizers came a piddling belatedly during the repast but the hummus (RM7), chickpea puree together with tahini sauce amongst lemon juice is polish together with moreish amongst the soft pita breads. We likewise bask the warm falafel (RM7),  ground chickpea patties. The Moroccan salad (RM7) is a refreshing combination of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers together with onions amongst a special line of piece of job solid dressing that hinted of olive stone oil amongst a dash of lemon juice. Being a dandy fan of eggplant, I loved the zaalouk (RM7), grilled eggplant mashed amongst tomatoes, cilantro together with garlic that was together with then moreish. We likewise had the chicken kabsa (RM15), boiled chicken amongst spices served amongst a fluffy briyani rice together with a spicy tangy sauce on the side.  
          To end, it was creme caramel (RM3) together with a refreshing fruit salad (RM7) that is served amongst a lovely thick yoghurt. We likewise bask thick Moroccan java together with the traditional Moroccan mint tea. The tea is real sweetness but I dearest the mint odor that didn't halt me from sipping downward ane glass. I see to a greater extent than visits to this identify is warranted since nosotros convey even together with then to seek their mixed grill items, the fish chermoula that is past times special order. They likewise together with then mandy lamb but precisely for special catering. Hop over hither for a piece of Moroccan magic.
