KUCHING: Terrace, a new Malaysian casual dining restaurant, opened at La Promenade Mall on Sunday.
Terrace is part of Hock Seng Lee (HSL) stable of eateries, which includes Foo Man Ting, La Promenade Black Bean Coffee & Tea, Shang Pot and the upcoming Iced bar.
Terrace, which is on the mall’s ground floor in a tastefully designed corner unit, began as HSL Tower’s staff canteen on level five.
“I joined HSL earlier this year because I love cooking good quality, affordable, meals in a hygienic environment for as many people as possible,” said Terrace head chef Timothy Yong.
“I really loved the idea of being part of the HSL’s canteen, which serves the construction company’s staff, as well as their families, and workers of La Promenade tenants.
“By mid-year, we decided to open Terrace to the public on the ground floor. We are taking some of the canteen’s best and upgrading them for public consumption. My aim remains the same: tasty, high-quality food, prepared in a hygienic environment, served affordably.”
Signature dishes include Nasi Biryani with beef, chicken curry or fried fish, Long Beans Stir-fry with Tempeh, Fried Spiced Mackerel – not forgetting local favourites like Nasi Goreng Kampung, and varieties of wok-fried noodles and kueh tiaw.
“Everything we cook is made from scratch. We continue to use the central kitchen at HSL Tower’s level five for prep, but we’ve also built an amazing new kitchen within the new Terrace. We’ve expanded the kitchen crew with good people, whom I’ve hand-picked, and they are doing their best dishes,” Yong added.
Terrace is open daily. There are a variety of ways to order including apps, counter ordering, and paper lists. It provides for both dine-in and takeaway.
