( NH ) Royale Burger,main courses and other memories - Mediteca

 

 

 

They didn't name this the Royale Beef & Cheese Burger for nothing.

 

 

 

 

Two thick slabs of extravagant meats sandwich the freshest salad leaves and most sinful cretches of cheese meant to pop your drawer buttons open.

( NH ) Appetizers & Salads - Mediteca

 

 

I just love how the sun seeps through the balustrades to light up the quaint but chic little atmosphere inside. The appetite is immediately worked up as we gingerly navigate our way through the  simple display counter.
 

 

 

 

Much thought has been given to lend simple dishes such aplomb and character. The potato gratin in the foreground is the most marvellous thing I've had in eons ! Finely sliced, lovingly baked with careful layers of cheese,omg, I'm in heaven.

( NH ) Cold cuts,pickles & cheese - Mediteca

 

 

It's been a long time since I've seen someone pour so much love,dedication and pride into his craft. That's part of the reason why people are raving over Mediteca. Chef Riccardo is the secret ingredient.

Entirely approachable, he's downright serious when it comes to getting the art of making delicious food, just right, for each and every customer that walks through the door. 

The machine you see here is what he uses to personally slice cold cuts as the customers come... one platter at a time.

No precuts left out in the open to dry.

 

 

 

 

Fact is, most Malaysians ( me included )  have never actually been that fond of cold cuts and hard cheeses . Last items to be finished at the buffet table if you ever noticed . But ah,wait, this is where he works his magic.
