[Penang, Malaysia] Lunch at Jaloux, 24 King Street

Thanks, @KTLA!

Back to my favourite eatery in George Town for lunch today.

Oddly, but perhaps not surprisingly, it’s been ignored completely by the inaugural Michelin Guide to Kuala Lumpur and Penang 2023, so we were spared the hordes of camera-toting gastronauts. Someone must’ve steered the Michelin inspectors elsewhere - their loss.

Our lunch orders:
:small_orange_diamond: Mortadella ham ‘n’ salad, with balsamic dressing

:small_orange_diamond: Spaghetti - matcha, sashimi akaebi prawns, Hokkaido ikura, spring onion, green heart mini heirloom tomatoes, chili

:small_orange_diamond: Pici - guanciale, porcini, Parmigiano-Reggiano, duck’s egg-yolk, Sarawak black pepper

:small_orange_diamond: Risotto - Akita komachi short-grained rice, king prawns broth, green heart mini heirloom tomato, orange, squid

:small_orange_diamond: Crema Catalana with fresh figs

:small_orange_diamond: Tiramisu, with lychee, Earl Grey & Marsala wine

Flawless cooking from Chef Hong, as always, and to-die-for desserts from Chef Yen. These two are at the top of their game. Never had a bad meal there, ever.

Looks fabulous. I think you’re lucky it’s not on the Michelin radar… yet.
