Avocado Tomato Egg

Castilian Garlic

Our dinner started with their Avocado Tomato Egg that had nicely diced avocado coated with creamy sauce accompanied with egg. While some might wish the avocado to taste stronger but it is just nice for us. Castilian Garlic soup is a rare find here. Ixora's chef has localize this soup by making it creamy but heated with garlic flavour, thus very soothing and warms up our body.

Brinjal with Shrimp Paste

Green Curry Lamb

Kim Chee Mandoo

Seafood Pilaf Rice

Tandoori Chicken

We then moved on to their hot dishes. Kim Chee Mandoo is one of our favourite for the night. Mandoo or some called it mandu is a traditional dumpling in Korea. Ixora has brought the mandoo to pan fried to golden brown, then nicely sit on the bed of spicy hot Kim Chee. Do not voraciously savour their kim chee in big spoon or else you could be stroked with the spicy heat. For the brinjal hot dish, nicely cooked to the texture that blend well with the shrimp paste which seasoned to perfection.

Summery Pudding

Crepe Suzette

After the savoury dishes, we had our sweet end with the intricate Summery Pudding and Crepe Suzette. Crepe Suzette is actually fried banana that wrapped in thin crispy skin.
