FOLKLORE
At Folklore, the sambal buah keluak fried rice, with its tantalising black hue, holds spicy notes and a delicate fragrance. Sweet, succulent crab balls in bakwan kepiting are further enhanced by the pork and prawn broth in which they resplendently reside. Deep-fried chicken (ayam goreng), juicy and tender, provides spicy nuances that are made even tastier by a sprinkling of powdered dried plum. Flaky, mild-flavoured baby threadfin is enlivened by a delightful sweet-and-sour gravy. Recommended for dessert is kueh kosui; the soft texture, alluring brown shade, aroma of pandan and generous topping of freshly grated coconut all add up to memorable mouthfuls.
