Redefining Malaysian cuisine with a modern twist
HERBA and rempah or herbs and spices are important in food preparation. They not only add unique flavours to our food but contribute to colour and variety as well. Certain herbs and spices used alone, or in blends, are healthy compounds and may have health benefits.
Starting off with just a single dish – Beef Rendang, Herba & Rempah – an online food store which offers a great selection of food – has evolved to many more variety of mouth-watering dishes.
Beef rendang is a caramelised beef braised in a phenomenal flavourful and aromatic mix of spices and coconut milk. It needs hours of slow cooking until the coconut milk is caramelised and turns into its signature luscious texture. Together with coconut milk, lemongrass, star anise, cinnamon and other freshly ground spices, this dish is a delicious affair. So flavourful and addictive!
Meanwhile, chicken rendang is slow cooked and simmered with spice paste and coconut milk which yields flavourful and tender chicken with the intense aroma of the exotic spices.
Glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk and turmeric is the perfect accompaniment to the rendang dishes. This celebratory rice dish is usually served during weddings and special occasions.
Chicken curry with potatoes is one of Malaysia’s most popular comfort food. It is so creamy, flavourful and savoury, with a hint of spice and a coconutty base; with tender pieces of boneless chicken fillet and potatoes.
Be prepared to be blown away with Herba & Rempah’s Instagrammable Roti Jala! By adding a modern twist to this delicacy, Herba & Rempah has stepped up its game to keep the tradition alive by creating Natural Coloured Roti Jala using natural colours from fruits and vegetables.
Roti Jala is a popular dish that is usually served with chicken curry. This intricate lace pancake is a popular snack for tea time served with curry chicken or condensed milk for kids. These gems certainly bring back childhood memories.
Herba & Rempah also offers Salted Fish Bone Vegetable Curry, Sambal Ikan Masin and Nutmeg juice, a delicious concoction made from fresh nutmeg and cane sugar.
