Sambal 三佰

I had a fantastic experience today at Sambal. I came at 3 pm with my girlfriend and they were still serving us lunch. The person who greeted us at the entrance was Chris. He explained to us perfectly the menu and recommended every single dish that was good. The restaurant features fusion cuisine of Malaysian and other Asian cuisines the food quality was perfect and the different flavours were outstanding. I would 100% recommend anyone to eat The restaurant features fusion cuisine of Malaysian and other Asian cuisines the food quality was perfect and the different flavours were outstanding. I would 100% recommend anyone to eat at Sambal if crossing paths at Georgetown. Thank you Chris from the service for me and my girlfriend.

The glass noodle broth so thick and rich. Very strong taste of shao xing wine,if u like u can try. While for the rice, it cook with lotus leaf and the sauce mix it just perfectly match, while the char siu taste so good, can feel it fully marinated but wont too salty or too sweet. For the squid egg, surprisingly match with rice cracker at bottom layer,taste sour (lime i guess) with chopped laksa flower and onion.

Lovely place, friendly and attentive staffs, amazing food! Every dish was perfect, from plating to flavour! I personally like the udang entangled (glass noodle with prawn) blended with wine. The soup was creamy and rich in flavour. Another was the bunga kantan drink, very distinctive flavor 👍👍.

What a surprise find as we were walking around aimlessly. It’s a Nyonya x Teochew fusion cuisine. First dish was “Nyonya Punya Salad”, a refreshing salad with green mango, beetroot, french beans, toasted coconut with chef’s homemade balsamic vinegar. Second dish was the Udang Entangled, a rich broth with Shaoxing wine with glass noodle, which to me was the show stopper. The third dish was Grilled Squid with stuffed pork, with Thai sauce and Garlic Aioli. We were stuffed. Overall, loved the food. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

We decided to try out this place after reading so much about it, plus the hunger pangs we felt whenevet we drive past this place with an empty stomach 🤣 Lovely place that isn't that big, which gives it a nice "boutique-like" feel, coupled with nice lighting and decorations greatly enhanced the ambience. Food was delicious. Love the flavours exuded, the use of herbs especially local herbs to give an extra punch was well noted. The drinks were good for me. Again, using local herbs to deliver the exceptional touch. Prices were, in my opinion, affordable for this type of establishment. Portions are decent too. Will come back 😋

With a modern / upscale take on local cuisine, Sambal delivers fusion food with a flair. While the menu is exciting, the food was palatable but nothing spectacular - except for the ‘entangled prawns’ served in a rich aromatic broth with a hint of alcohol. The signature lap Mei fun, popular for its generous toppings of pork lard, did not meet the perfect golden crisp required. Stuffed squid was leaning more to sour in taste and so we couldn’t fully enjoy it.

Delicious food only exceeded by the excellent service. You can really taste the freshness in the ingredients and thee combination of different flavors is masterful. To top it off, everything is presented beautifully. Would highly recommend.

The food was quite impressive but the more you eat, the more predictable they become. The cooking method and ingredients tends to be repetitive. Nonetheless, it was still a good eat. Service was excellent as the staff told pains to explain the menu to me. The place was nicely decorated and kept clean and tidy too.
