Hghlights of Ellenborough Market Cafe’s festive Asian dishes include Rock Lobster in Singapore Chilli Crab Sauce and Deep Fried Prawn in Creamy Salted Egg Yolk Sauce, whose vibrant colours and flavours will wow you and your guests.
Here to substantiate your pickings are Nasi Ulam and Nasi Bunga Telang, complete with toothsome Indonesian crackers. Order as a table to evoke memories of communal dining at your favourite grandma’s house!
If sharing’s not your thing, the EMC Signature Laksa is equally slurp-worthy, with fresh river prawn and clams that level up this classic comfort dish. The dash of sambal blachan adds just the right amount of heat to the rich, coconut-laden flavours.
