Zen - Streetery Foodhall - Asian Street Food
Zen is a restaurant that is a part of the Streetery Foodhall in JLT, and is among the three restaurants here that I was invited to.
I'm a fan of Malaysian cuisine and we started with the Mee Goreng which is a dish consisting of stir fried noodles that are done Malaysian style. They were a tad bit oily, but tasted really delicious. The Malaysian spices gave it an authentic flavour.
The next dish was the schezwan chicken wonton. Delicious chicken dumplings that were really flavourful, and a bit on the spicier side.
Then we had the Thai green curry with rice. This tasted really comforting and had a lovely aroma to it just the way you would find it when you have street food. We had it along with steamed rice.
For dessert we had the mango sticky rice. The mango was juicy and sweet, and the rice was a bit sticker than usual but tasted really good nonetheless. This one also had split green gram on top. Since it isn't overly sweet, I really liked it.
The other dessert we had is the Thap thim krop. It is a famous Thai dessert which has water chestnuts dipped in coconut milk. The water chestnuts sometimes have a red food colouring and so this dessert is also knows as "Rubies in coconut milk", though various colours could be used. I liked this more than the one I had had at a Thai fine-dine restaurant. If you haven't tried it, it is definitely worth a shot.
P. S. : There are a few restaurants located within the Streetery Foodhall itself and you can order dishes from all of them. We also had a few dishes from another restaurant located within Streetery Foodhall itself - Fat Aunts - and you can read the review for the same here.
