Malaysia is famous for its mile upon mile of beautiful beaches, but for those in the know, it is even more revered for the uniqueness and diversity of its cuisine. Although the concept of ‘fusion’ cuisine has only recently become popular in the West, Malaysian chefs have been experts in this style for many many years. This is due to the ability of Malaysian chefs to adapt and combine the finest elements of cuisine from Malaysia’s diverse cultural groups - Chinese, Indian, Malay - as well as those of its neighbouring countries - Thailand and Indonesia - in order to create unique and tantalizing tastes. The tropical climate of the region has also helped inspire and hone some of these distinct flavours, since it allows Malaysian chefs ready access to a wide range of exotic herbs and spices, such as lime leaves, lemon grass, galangal, cardamom, ginger and cinnamon, to name but a few.
As your host at the Mata Hari, I am honoured to be a part of this long line of Malaysian chefs. Born and bred in Malaysia, I have always been passionate about genuine Malaysian cuisine, a passion which I share with my team of expert chefs. It is this passion for flavour which drives my chefs and I to use only the highest quality of ingredients in our creations - only the most authentic of spices and the freshest of ingredients are allowed in our dishes.
This demand for quality allows us to create the perfect balance of flavours, a balance that will allow you to enjoy the finest of Malaysian gourmet experiences.
Another of our great pleasures is surprising and tantalizing the palates of our customers and allowing them the opportunity to experience the full range of Malaysian cuisine. That is why we have now added an even wider selection of traditional Malaysian dishes rarely sampled in the West to our latest menu. These include the famous Kedah Pedas, Nasi Ayam Beriani, Mee Goreng Kampung etc and the Malaysian favourite – Santa Lemak.
As well as world class cuisine, I also firmly believe that a warm ambience and artistic surroundings are key factors in the ultimate enjoyment of eating out, which is why my team and I pride ourselves on the décor of the restaurant and the excellence of the service.
I am certain that your experience here at the Mata Hari, where you will savour only the finest of entirely authentic dishes, will make you become as passionate about Malaysian cuisine as I am. May the flavours you experience fill you with the warmth of both Malaysia’s sunshine and its people.
