We had the Australian Beef Tenderloin 180gm and Pan Seared Salmon with Chermoula. The Beef Tenderloin is perfectly executed, with buttery, soft and tender texture that my mouth could not resist to have the second cut. It goes very well with the nicely cooked mashed potatoes, and the rosemary sauce (can choose other type of sauces) further elevated the entire taste. It is one of the very nice steak cut we have had in a while.

On the other hand, the Pan Seared Salmon is the usual salmon meat that you will get in good restaurants. The Chermoula sauce made of herbs gave the salmon a nice refreshing taste.

The name Amaya also somehow sounds like Thai to you right? That is true, as the restaurant also has Thai influence with a Thai chef stationed there to prepare some real good Thai food. We had sampled their Som Tom and Green Curry Chicken and these 2 dishes were really out of the moon. It is burning hot and appetizing at the same time.

If you appetite allows, you must try the Thai dishes in Amaya.
