Seroja

Have a taste of modern Southeast Asian cuisine at Seroja, a restaurant that shares the same name as the lotus flower in Malay and serves as a significant cultural symbol in the Malay Archipelago region. With this in mind, chef-owner Kevin Wong celebrates the familiar flavours of the region in Seroja’s menu, as seen in the way various herbs and spices native to Malaysia are weaved into the multi-course Nusantara menu ($268 per person). Think mangrove wood-charred scallops with laksa leaf sauce, silver pomfret in sambal gulai, and a jasmine tea infused duck broth. Seroja also works collaboratively with growers, fishermen, craftsmen, and artisans around the region. Take the restaurant’s Trader’s rice for example – the rice used is cultivated by the Lun Bawang tribe in Borneo.
