ENJOY AT THE RIDGE

               


The Korean set only at The Ridge





The appetizer buffet

My beloved appetizer




                 The evening of 30th April 2014, my course mate the culinary degree student of HM225 and HM245 went to the ridge at Jeti  Pulau Batu kawan. Situated on the pier like at the edge of beach, it uses the outdoor dining experience to attract customer who like to be serenade with the sound of beach and color of the sunset while eating and enjoying it. In this article I want to share my food review of the ridge. The restaurant serve a wide variety of food range for lunch and dinner with a la carte, course set and buffet if requested by the customer. The set cost RM160 per set for 6-8 people. For us, it’s quite a reasonable for a 7 people to enjoy. Our group request a vast variety of set dinner such as Thai set, Malay set, western set, Korean set, Chinese set, seafood set and mix grill set. As for that, we also get an appetizer buffet at front table. The buffet consists of white rice, fried rice, potato salad, minced chicken with herbs and seafood soup.  In my view, the most exquisite appetizer is the seafood soup where it is filled with crab and prawn and simmers to increase the flavor. The soup is clear and the seafood was tender so it easy for me to eat it.
          I and my friend choose an Korean set where we were given a tray full of seafood consist of prawn, squid ring and stuff crab, chicken meat, beef slice and many kind of vegetable to grill such as Enoki mushroom, onion ring, capsicum, carrot and slices eggplant. Apart from that we receive a big bowl of sticky rice and 4 serving of kimchi. We grill the prawn first because it looks appetizing with drizzle of the sesame seed. We grilled it until it looks brown and ate it with the sticky rice.  Then I try the grill vegetable with the sesame soy sauce which increase the flavor and fragrance of the vegetable. After I have an satisfied meal, I try the Fruit Cocktail they serve at front table. It is good. The flavor of thick milk with a mild scent of fruit such as apple, laici and pineapple where those foods are diced and nata de coco, grass jelly put in the cocktail. The taste is good considered I just eat in front of the grill, so a cold and refreshing taste is what I needed.  


The Kimchi


                Apart from all those food, I want to focus on the kimchi, one of the food heritages of the Korean. It fermented the cabbage with paste of chili flake, water, kosher salt, sugar, ginger, garlic, onion and sometimes they add fish sauce or  salted squid. At the ridge, this dish caught my eyes where the taste is very unique. The ginger strong taste was blended with the chili flakes spiciness and the garlic provide the fragrance of freshness  and the color was red with help of chili flakes. The first bite was full of flavor and then I eat it with rice and grill Enoki mushroom. The taste really improved with the help of kimchi. To me the taste was suitable for my tongue and I recommended for the Korean fan to try it.
