Tucked away in a largely nondescript Third Street outpost in Sai Ying Pun, KAUM makes its Hong Kong debut marrying multiple Indonesian flavours. What’s unique about KAUM is its showcasing of almost-forgotten Indonesian cooking techniques. Their most famous dish has to be the Timbungan Babi: pork belly marinated with Balinese spices and cooked inside a bamboo shoot! At Taste, the eclectic menu combines classic Indonesian dishes with modern twists. Take their Braised Wagyu Beef Shank in a Black Nut and Chayote, Sweet Soy Sauce & Coconut Milk Broth – iconic yet modern. Don’t also miss out the Scallops & Barramundi Cooked in a Spicy & Sour Turmeric Sauce.
Dishes We Love: Braised Wagyu Beef Shank in a Black Nut and Chayote, Sweet Soy Sauce & Coconut Milk Broth, Brongkos Shenkel Daging Sapi
