It takes a village to raise this restaurant: With family roots from Malacca, the founders of Kampung Contemporary Dining bring a heartfelt touch to hometown treasures like Nyonya Pai Tee (RM8; sprinkled with pork lard for a deep-flavoured crunch) and Pork Satay (RM16; chunky and meaty, though the cuts chosen might be too chewy).
Build your own Hainanese chicken rice platter by ordering the smooth-and-tender sous vide chicken, featuring free-range fowl sourced from Semenyih (RM22), coupled with chicken rice balls that echo Jonker Street's crowd-pleaser (80 sen per ball). Note that the menu might not mention it, but the chicken comes with Ipoh beansprouts, so it turns out there's no need to order a separate bowl (RM7) like we did.
The Braised Pork Pongteh (RM23) pairs well with one of Kampung's red wines, though it could benefit from more complexity in its sauce, while the Eight-Spice Fried Chicken too tastes a bit one-note in its understated flavour (RM18).
Complimentary Ang Ku Kueh, made by mom, takes the meal to a pleasant conclusion. Service is warm, with a crew that works hard to keep everything on track.
