Savor, a popular plant-based restaurant in Mont Kiara, Hartamas, has launched a special Merdeka Menu in celebration of Malaysia’s Independence Day. This limited-time menu offers a twist on traditional Malaysian dishes, all prepared using plant-based ingredients to showcase the nation’s vibrant flavors and culinary heritage.
The Merdeka Menu at Savor features a selection of dishes that pay tribute to Malaysian flavors while staying true to the restaurant’s commitment to plant-based cuisine. Highlights include the Merdeka Lemak, a fusion of fragrant blue rice, juicy satay lilit, homemade sambal, lion’s mane rempah, and paku pakis. The Takano d’Sumandak offers a taste of Sabah’s traditional dishes like Tuhau Sambal, Bambangan, Bosou Sayur, Pucuk Manis, and Mushroom Stems. Sehati Satay is a Malaysian classic with plant-based meat skewers served with cucumber, ketupat rice cakes, and satay peanut sauce. And for dessert, Banana Frits with Coconut Ice Cream provides a sweet and tropical ending to the meal.
Savor’s success over the past year is attributed to its innovative menus, including the recent Harvest Festival menu that showcased traditional Sabah dishes in a plant-based format. By importing authentic ingredients from Sabah, Savor allows patrons in Kuala Lumpur to experience the true flavors of the region. The restaurant’s ability to create menus that resonate with its audience has been key to its success, with seasonal offerings like Chinese New Year, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day menus providing unique culinary experiences.
David Ng, Co-founder of Savor, emphasized that the restaurant aims to challenge the misconception that plant-based food is only for vegans. He believes that everyone can appreciate the flavors and creativity in their dishes, regardless of dietary preferences. The Merdeka Menu is a reflection of Savor’s dedication to bringing Malaysia’s culinary heritage to life in a delicious and healthy way.
