Taste New Zealand Food Fair @ Jaya Grocer Empire Shopping Gallery

A couple of weeks back, I had the chance to drop by Jaya Grocer at Empire Shopping Gallery to check out their Taste New Zealand Food Fair. Everything New Zealand, where New Zealand Trade Enterprise has partnered with the Jaya Grocer chain of supermarkets for the first time, offering products which are bound to satisfy foodies. We were treated to a nice dinner too at Fresco! cafe inside Jaya Grocer.

Mustard Crust NZ Lamb Leg (RM26)
Mustard Crust NZ Lamb Leg - RM26

My favourite dish that night had to be their delectable Mustard Crust NZ Lamb Leg. Served on a plate, from the RTE Carvery Station, the tender piece of New Zealand Boneless Lamb Leg is roasted with a flavoursome mustard crust served with Honey Mustard Sauce and a side of vegetables.


Baked NZ Whole Sole - RM26

Seafood lovers will like the Baked NZ Whole Sole. Served from their ala carte menu, a baked whole sole fish caught in crisp New Zealand waters isserved with Prawn Mousse and Dill Lemon. Now here's a combinaton that brings out all the right flavours and sweetness of the sole fish.

Oatmeal Hoki Fish and Chips - RM26

For an interesting twist to your usual fish and chips offering, try the Oatmeal Hoki Fish and Chips from Jaya Grocer, a deep fried oatmeal-crusted Hoki fish fillet served with fries and tartare sauce. I find the oatmeal made the dish a tad too dry, but nothing can't be fixed with a dip into the tartare sauce, and everything's perfect again. 

It was a good dinner

To end the meal on a sweet note, diners will receive a complimetary scoop (80 gram) of Kapiti ice cream with purchase of any New Zealand Food Promotion Meal from Fresco Grocerant. Diners also get a complimentary piece of Whittaker’s chocolate (15 grams) or Mother Earth’s Baked Oaty Slice with any coffee or tea ordered.
