Savaro by Felda Solaris Dutamas Publika by Best Restaurant To Eat

Savaro by Felda


Serving local Malaysian food is always very challenging. Here we get so many different places or hangout that serves any of the local favourite specialities. But, sometime it might be tough to get a restaurant where they serves a variety and above average local dishes.


At Savaro by Felda which is strategically located at Solaris Dutamas, with a sense of innovation and creative cooking by the chef, you have a new twist to these authentic local kampong foods and a blend of Western delicacies.


It was open barely 3 months ago, the concept was to allow its customer a chance to enjoy these dishes in a pleasant, cosy and relax ambience. Some of the drinks and dishes are not to be found anywhere and is exclusive to the Savaro.

 
I ordered the first in-house specialty which is Savaro Soda (SS) Lime. It is a cold drink which comprise of Strawberry extract mix with Cream Soda and a tinge of Peppermint. When the drink arrive in a tall glass, part of the strawberry extract was still flowing down from the top, making it a pleasant surprise to see the extract flowing down, drop by drop to the bottom.


It was a very refreshing combination for a hot afternoon. With the stirrer, you can mix the extract and pinch the fresh peppermint leaves to extract out the mint flavour. Based on your preference, it is entirely up to you on how minty you want your drink to be.

Other Dishes From Savaro




Aromatic Oxtail Soup At Savaro by Felda Solaris Dutamas by Best Restaurant To Eat

Oxtail Soup



This is another innovative dish. Here the chef, have added some curry into the cooking of this traditional English Oxtail Soup thereby enriching it to be best of both world. With the spices added to it, it marries the authentic Malay version sup ekor flavour to this soup.


With a chunk of Australian beef tail which was slow cooked, the aroma and taste of the soup was mesmerising. You can taste the strong stew slowly down the throat as you take sips of this warm soup.


Unfortunately, the serving of the soup is not that much. You really have to enjoy every little sip before it is finish.

Assam Pedas Fish - Bamboo Stalk Rice Savaro Solaris Dutamas Publika By Best Restaurant To Eat

Assam Pedas Fish - Bamboo Stalk Rice


Another unique presentation of the food is that the rice comes in Bamboo Stalk. It is indeed innovative to use this as it is not only very pleasing to the eyes but giving a Malaysia feel. In Sarawak, the Iban uses bamboo to cook rice and dishes.


First we have the Assam Pedas Fish. Assam Pedas Fish is a very popular dish from the southern part of Malaysia mainly from Melaka and Johor.


At Savaro, the chef uses the tenggiri fish and the must have ladies fingers to cook this specialty. Taste wise, it was a little tad salty and it does not really have the spiciness and sourish kick of the traditional Assam Pedas of traditional makan place. Moreover the tenggiri was a little too hard. Either the fish might have been kept frozen for too long or the chef have overcooked it.

This Assam Pedas Fish is served with flavoured white rice.

Savaro Bambu Savaro Rice Solaris Dutamas by Best Restaurant To Eat

Bambu Savaro Rice



The next rice dish we had was the Bambu Savaro Rice. As I tasted this dish, it reminds me of the Manuk Pansuh – Iban Bamboo Chicken with the rice serves in the Bamboo Stalk.


If the chef have cooked the chicken n the bamboo stalk it would have been perfect. Tasting the tender chicken cutlet which was cooked with ginger and mushroom, it also had the taste similar to those of the Chinese Ginger Chicken style.


The dish also comes with salted egg, pickled acar and sambal belacan. The gravy goes well with the white rice that was served. Best eaten in the Bamboo Stalk where the rice comes in.
