Sumptuous Festive and New Menu
Behind
every successful restaurant is an amazing chef… and behind Meatology is Chef Yenni Law. Chef Yenni has so much passion and
energy in what she does, and it certainly shows in Meatology. The talented chef
that wears multiple hats has two published cookbooks – Meatology and The Rice Pot
under her name and the latter one has earned 1st place for the best
in the prestigious and internationally recognized Gourmand Award in May 2018
held at Yantai, China.
Meatology has already carved a name in the
neighborhood for scrumptious porky fare. Chef Yenni offers classic favorites
with her own twist. She goes all out to roast her own Roast Pork and offers
tableside entertainment of flambéing steaks to desserts. Locals know where to
head to for comfort food and she greets all her diners like they were her old
friends.
There’s
just no rest with Chef Yenni and her culinary team. With much festivity around
the corner, Chef Yenni has prepared festive dishes along with Roast Turkey for
orders. In addition, diners can check out the contemporary Western Meatology’s new menu filled with her
signatures as well as new dishes with local twists.
For
turkey lovers, Meatology offers Roast Turkey (RM58.80++) in smaller
portion so one can still enjoy the Christmas dish without having to have a big
party. The platter offer cuts of dark and white meat of the turkey, perfectly
roasted with a lovely tasty note and moistness. The Roast Turkey is accompanied
by grape, chestnut & bacon stuffing, giblet gravy and a spiked cranberry
& rum sauce.
For
those who are planning a festive party or dine-in group, go for the Whole Roast Turkey (RM428++) with the
trimmings. There are additional perks such as a free dining voucher worth RM130
and a half yard glass that comes with this order. This one requires a 3-day
advance notice for an order.
For
appetizers, diners can tuck into a tasty Grilled
Cincaluk Pork (RM23.80). Marrying the flavours of local cincalok or prawn
paste with pork belly, the result is this unctuous and addictive sliced pork
belly with a unique smoky aroma. And if it ain’t enough, she considerately
serves this with some chopped chili padi for extra kicks!
They
say one eats with their eyes first… the Tempeh
& Chickpea (RM13.80) is cleverly served on a bright blue plate, making
it even more enticing with the vibrant colors. Perfect as meatless option,
batons of nutty tempeh is sauced up with a lightly sweet and savory sauce.
Served on a bed of chickpeas and peas, its healthy and tasty too.
Chef
Yenni has a good sense of pairing unsual ingredients and she puts some humor in
coining Ladies Lap Cheong (RM13.80).
Lady fingers are pairing with sliced Chinese lap Cheong and lots of fried
garlic crisp with a bit of heat from chili flakes. The dish turned out well, as
the sweetish lap Cheong elevated the lady fingers well. This is one dish I
would order again.
Banking
on the typical English Sunday roast, Chef Yenni serves up Roast Pork (RM38.80) on Sundays at Meatology. A platter of nicely
cut chunks of golden and crunchy crackling roast pork can surely make all
Sundays even better, at least for me. And if you are even thinking of feeling a
bit guilty, the roast pork is balanced by the side of greens for extra comfort.
More
appetizers followed and the Mentaiko
Gratinade Baby Lobster (RM23.80++) is an absolute stunner. Mentaiko or fish
roe has such a moreish flavour profile that it pairs well with seafood to bring
out the oceanic flavours. The baby lobster is cooked beautifully while the
gratin makes the lobster even more delectable.
Moving
on to mains, the Seared Grouper with
Caper Lime Butter (RM48.80) is perfect for fish lovers. Thick fillet of
grouper cooked well and served with the citrusy butter sauce. The capers and chopped
preserved vegetable enhanced the fish really well, lending a umami saltish
note. Presentation is excellent as the dish is colorful and attractive as well.
If
there is one dish to rave at Meatlogy, the Spicy
Sour Cream Spiney Lobster with Chips (RM178.80) would be it. The brilliant
pairing of thick cut fries to go with that luscious buttery and spiced up sauce
is so sumptuous that we wanted more fries. The lobster is cooked well with a
firm tenderness while the creamy sauce gave the dish that fragrant oomph that
makes this dish so enticing. If you feel like splurging, this is the dish to
order…
When
the waitstaff flambé the octopus, it was apparent that this was going to be
another good dish! Grilled Spanish
Octopus Tentacle with Spiked Concasse & Garlic (RM43.70) is enticingly
aromatic from the spiked flambe action and goes well with the rich cream sauce
along with mushrooms on al dente fettuccine and finished with briny salmon
roes. This dish is very rich so sharing this may be a good idea. I loved the
octopus tentacle as it was tender and goes well with the slippery smooth pasta.
A
beautifully poached egg nestled on a bed of mushroom and pasta with pea sprouts
peeking upwards. The Truffle Spaghetti
(RM35.80) is so good, one won’t miss the fact that this is meatless. The soft
egg coated the pasta and mushroom strands, lending a smoothness of richness to
the gorgeous aroma of truffles lingering with each bite.
Chef
Yenni nailed the Grilled Grain-fed Aged
Ribeye (RM35/100g) to a lovely medium doneness. Utterly juicy and well-charred,
the ribeye is served with mashed potato, chick pea salad and side of
horseradish. The steak, seasoned with only salt and pepper, has such yummy beefy
flavours. A touch of horseradish added more depth of richness to the steak…
Lip
smacking yum best describes the Chilli
Lime Ribs (RM48.80)! Meaty ribs are heavily spiced up so that every bite of
the meat is an explosion of spicy goodness in the mouth. Make sure to squeeze
that wedge of lime on the ribs as it really perked up the flavours even more.
Chef
Yenni surprised us all with Herbal
Seafood Toddy (RM48.80). Coconut toddy laced with Chinese herbs made up the
broth for rice noodles and plenty of seafood. The dish has a similar flavour
profile with bak kut teh but it has lovely aroma of coconut. The subtle
sweetness from the coconut toddy goes well with the fresh seafood and the
noodles made this a complete meal on its own.
Life
is always sweeter with desserts! And the fact that desserts can only get better
is when its a Real Rum & Raisin Pie
(RM18.80). Generously laced with run and studded with sweet raisins, this
naughty ice cream pie is so yummy. This is one dessert that you may not want to
share…
Forbidden Rice Brulèe (RM14.80) is unusual and tasty.
French custard with chewy bits of black glutinous rice and a caramelized
crunchy topping is Chef Yenni’s take on rice pudding. Love the chilled factor
in this rice pudding as it freshened up the palate.
More
flambé action and this time is a dessert of Yorkshire Pudding Flambé (RM32.80). Fluffy and crisp Yorkshire
Pudding is jazzed up with a flambe of dark cherries and strawberries with
booze. It is quite the perfect dramatic ending when dining at Meatology!
