Nora’s Kitchen Menu
Food Menu Highlights
At Nora’s Kitchen, the menu reflects the soul of traditional Malay cooking—flavorful, hearty, and comforting. Each dish is lovingly prepared with the right balance of spices, coconut milk, herbs, and fresh ingredients.
Beef Rendang Set
One of the signature offerings, the Beef Rendang Set is a must-try. This dish features tender beef chunks slow-cooked in a rich and aromatic coconut curry, served with steaming white rice and two accompanying side dishes. The depth of flavor from the lemongrass, galangal, and chili will transport you straight to a Malay family kitchen.
Chicken Lemak / Merah Set
For chicken lovers, Nora’s Kitchen offers both Lemak (coconut curry) and Merah (spicy red chili) versions. The chicken is cooked until soft and juicy, perfectly soaking up the fragrant, creamy sauces. Paired with rice and vegetable sides, this set is a satisfying and wholesome choice.
Asam Fish Set
A delightful sour and spicy dish, the Asam Fish Set features fish simmered in a tamarind-based gravy. The dish strikes the perfect balance between tangy and savory, offering a refreshing break from richer curries. Served with fluffy rice and fresh sides, this is a favorite for those who prefer lighter flavors.
