Nadodi has been on my list of places to try since moving to Malaysia. Earning a spot on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants and selected by the Michelin guide, Nadodi highlights the melding of cultures and food traditions amongst the ancient nomads of Southern India and Sri Lanka. We’re here to see what the new seasonal tasting menu is all about – Nomadic Trails (RM 750++ per pax) and we arrive just in time to catch the sunset in the entrance lounge. 

Nomad’s Globe

We’re presented with a glass of Whispering Angel – a premium smooth Provence rosé that will pair with the crab biryani and help to undercut the spiciness. Nomad’s Globe comes with a healthy portion of short-grain rice biryani with sweet Malaysian blue swimmer crab. On the side, there’s pomegranate yoghurt snow to cut the spice, as well as a curry sauce made with cashew and crab stock topped with potato crisps. Each element of Nomad’s Globe is well-balanced and showcases Nadodi’s commitment to melding traditional, familiar flavours with new and innovative techniques.
