This is the first time I am dining at Candle Nut which is part of the Como group at Dempsey.
Here are the photos of the 'Ah Mah Kasee', which we took that day. The best small dishes or tapas we ate, in my opinion are the following.

Chicken Satay
One of the best satay I've tasted. There is no Chicken smell, the chunks were large and tender. The peanut sauce was sweetish and of high viscosity (slow moving) which is what a satay sauce is supposed to taste.

a) Chicken Satay 9.5 / 10
Grilled Beef Cheek Curry, Chitose Pepper on Puffed Prata
This tapas looks good, however the curry doesn't have enough of the 'lemak' or coconut flavour which a typical Rendang curry should have
a) Curry on Puffed Prata 6 / 10
Lobster Kueh Pie Tie with Tumeric on Candlenut
Fantastic start to the meal. The lobster was a nice touch, where there used to be 'bangkuang' or radish shavings, is filled with lobster and tumeric for that South Asian feel. A winner.

All in all, it was a satisfying lunch, the service was extremely good, and the ambience quiet and dignified.
