Rasa Sayang: Malaysian Cuisine and More

July 19, 2016 by

Rasa Sayang takes you on an upscale tour through Indian, Chinese, and Thai cuisines before ending up with Malaysian fare. It might be unfamiliar, but it’s a palace of delights. The calamari—battered with Malaysian spices and doused with green and red pepper hot sauce before frying—packs a memorable punch. Manager Aaron Kwan says that on a scale of one to ten, the heat rates a six, but we recommend keeping a sweet Lychee tea (or two) on hand. Char kway teow (flat rice noodles stir fried with chillies, belachan, prawns, cockles, bean sprouts and chives) is the unmissable specialty of the house. The dessert list is disappointingly short, and prices are high for the area; but they’re justified by the remarkably consistent quality. Service is smart and attentive, and they’re used to kids—little ones have their own menu and get covered cups with straws. Rasa Sayang is open seven days a week, and takeout is available.

Capers & Lemons: Blending Old & New Italian Cuisine

July 12, 2016 by

Rustic Italian craftsmanship meets New World verve at Capers & Lemons. The look is casual and classy, with the long, gleaming bar, towering wine wall and warmly colored dining room promising sleek Italian cuisine, in touch with its roots but looking to the future. That’s exactly what you get. Cannelloni—handmade daily like all the pasta—burst with a lush mixture of marinated ground beef, chicken, and sausage. The accompanying cream sauce is almost absurdly light. Crisp, inventive woodstone pizzas conjure up an Umbrian farmhouse, but you won’t find checked tablecloths or candles in wine bottles here. This is Italian for grown-ups who live in the moment and want more. Capers & Lemons is open every day.
