Prepare to tantalise your taste buds and embark on a culinary escapade at Gin Rik Sha, a contemporary gem of Indian cuisine nestled in the scenic hillside of Bukit Damansara. Recently, we embarked on a delightful culinary journey through their revamped brunch menu during their grand reopening. From the first sip of their invigorating sunrise juices to the last bite of their sumptuous dishes, our taste buds were serenaded with pure delight.
Join us as we recount this mouthwatering adventure, a symphony of flavours and aromas that captured not just our palates, but our hearts too.
🍽️ What we ate:
Dokhla Muffins:
These semolina-based muffins are bursting with flavorful spices. Enjoy them with a side of coconut cilantro chutney and syrup for a deliciously savory and slightly sweet breakfast treat.
Cardamom Corn Bread & Chicken Vindaloo:
The chef’s father’s special vindaloo recipe is a standout. The tender, flavourful chicken pairs perfectly with the sweet corn bread, creating an unconventional but heavenly combination.
Chutney Cheese Sandwich:
Melted delicate cheese blended with fresh cilantro and onion chutney, sandwiched between house-made sourdough bread. The bread has a satisfying chew, and the flavours of the herby chutney and cheese are truly a match made in heaven. Don’t forget the delightful side of chickpea salad!
Spice-to-Table Oats:
Not going to lie, we thought this was like one of those typical oatmeal dishes but prepare to have your mind changed about oatmeal! The sweetness of bananas, dates, and spices combined with the texture of steel cut oats is simply perfect. This dish will be devoured in no time.
Brioche Bombay Toast:
This crispy bread is soaked in a delicious milk mixture spiced with cinnamon, turmeric, and more before being fried to perfection. Not overly sweet, it becomes pure perfection when drenched in maple syrup. Absolutely chef’s kiss!
🍹 Drinks:
Orange Fizz:
A refreshing fizzy citrus concoction that’s perfect for beating the heat.
Juice of Carrot, Apple, Coconut & Ginger:
Fuel your workouts with this powerful juice blend.
Rosecco:
Indulge in this delightful cocktail made with rose, peach gin, and prosecco that’s not on the menu.
Overall, we give Gin Rik Sha a 9/10 rating! The flavours surprised us in the most wonderful way. Their brunch dishes go beyond the typical fare you find elsewhere. With a team that makes their own bread and chutneys, you can taste the passion and dedication they put into every bite. We can’t wait to go back and explore more of their incredible menu!
Location: 132, Jalan Kasah Medan Damansara, Bukit Damansara, 50490 Kuala Lumpur.
