Borak Borak Cafe & Lounge is a casual dining restaurant located on the lobby level of Mardhiyyah Hotel & Suites.
The eatery offers a cozy atmosphere, making it ideal for catching up with friends or hosting business associates. Fittingly, “borak-borak” translates to “chit-chat” in Malay.
Borak Borak recently refreshed its à la carte menu with a variety of Malaysian favorites and Western classics.
For today’s review, Chef Shazwani handpicked eight signature dishes from the dozens on the new menu.
Presented in a rattan basket, the Malaysian Delicacies Platter (RM 38 nett) is the perfect choice for sharing.
The platter features local favorites that Malaysians know and love, such as cucur udang, keladi goreng, keropok lekor, and wantan goreng.
Next up is the Butter Chili Clam (RM 28 nett), where fresh clams are cooked in aromatic garlic butter, with curry leaves and chili flakes added for extra fragrance.
Crispy mantou buns are served on the side, perfect for mopping up every last drop of the creamy sauce!
For a taste of Japanese flavor, try the Salmon Miso (RM 50 nett), served alongside potato salad, arugula, and garlic-ginger-sesame dressing.
The miso-glazed salmon is garnished with yam chips, adding a pleasant crisp to the dish.
The Black Pepper Beef Pizza (RM 39 nett) is topped with beef slices, mushroom trifolati, sweet onions, basil leaves, and melted mozzarella over a savory mayonnaise base. This is a crowd-pleaser for adults and kids alike!
In true tradition, the juicy Swedish-Style Meatballs (RM 40 nett) are served with rich cream sauce over a bed of mashed potatoes, balanced by sweet berry jam.
Burger lovers rejoice! The Chicken Burger (RM 36 nett) stacks a fried chicken thigh, coleslaw, lettuce, and tomatoes inside a sesame bun, with signature house sauce and yam chips on the side. Is your mouth watering already?
The Pappardelle Bolognaise (RM 36 nett) pairs wide-ribbon egg pasta tossed in slow-cooked beef ragu, vegetable sofrito, and tomato-basil sauce, topped with shaved Parmesan cheese.
The Seafood Cartoccio (RM 48 nett) features conchiglie pasta and mixed seafood braised in rich garlic-tomato sauce.
As the name implies, it is baked inside a folded pouch to lock in its moisture and flavor.
Looking for a lighter bite? You can also opt for the Afternoon Hi-Tea Set (RM 129 nett).
Presented on a three-tier stand, it makes a great light meal for two people.
The set comes with two drinks of your choice: espresso coffee, English tea, fruit juice, or mocktails.
Be sure to check out the variety of cakes inside the display chiller! They are available for purchase whole or by the slice.
Borak Borak Cafe & Lounge is open daily from 10:00am to 10:00pm, offering a welcoming, casual space for both business and leisure. Table reservations can be made via WhatsApp.
