Pan-Seared Siakap
Main
Kerabu Mojito
Drinks
We love they are prepared and the stunning interpretation of the classic mojito, this local twist incorporates fragrant herbs, zesty lime, mint, and the punchy soul of kerabu. It’s savoury, refreshing, and delightfully bold — a tropical symphony tailored for our warm Malaysian nights.
Salt & Zest
Drinks
Jerry love how this is done. He love the citrus-forward cocktail balances the savouriness of salt with a clean finish. Elegant, sharp, and full of character! Asides from their drinks, the food at The Riff District carries the same philosophy — familiar comfort reimagined through an inventive, multicultural lens. Ingredients are premium, plating is precise, but the essence always circles back to warmth and memory.

Argentinian Ribeye (120g)
Main
We love how this ribeye is perfectly pan-fried. The robust, comforting main where the juicy Argentinian ribeye rests atop crisp potato rosti and sautéed kailan, finished with a zesty kaffir lime chimichurri. It’s rustic yet refined — a celebration of boldness tempered by balance.
Handmade Pita with Laksa Butter
Appetizer
The soft,fluffy pita is served with laksa-infused whipped butter — a tribute to Malaysia’s iconic dish, but reinterpreted in a playful, elegant format. It’s rich, aromatic, and surprisingly light — the perfect conversation starter.
