Little Steps Reviews: Sarawak Flavours With A View At Le Méridien Petaling Jaya

Terong Asam Soup With Smoked Ikan Lumek: A Tangy Surprise

The Terong Asam Soup with Smoked Ikan Lumek (RM38) brought something unexpected to the table. Tangy, smoky, and layered with flavours we didn’t quite see coming, it was a bold combination that stood out. It's definitely not your everyday soup, and that’s exactly what made it memorable.

Laksa Sarawak: A Classic Crowd Favorite

The Laksa Sarawak with Fresh Tiger Prawns (RM65) was easily the crowd favourite. Rich, aromatic, and full of depth, it had that unmistakable laksa fragrance that made heads turn as it arrived. Guests were quietly requesting for seconds and we may or may not have joined that queue. It was one of those dishes that made you wish you had more room, or maybe just a second stomach.

Pansuh Ayam: Flavours Sealed In Bamboo

Then came the Pansuh Ayam (RM68), served in a bamboo stick—something we’d never had before. As it was opened, the aroma of herbs filled the air. The flavours were earthy, clean, and surprisingly layered. You could tell Chef Ramos was proud of this one, and rightly so. It felt like a dish with real roots, brought to the table with care.

Cream Caramel With Gula Apong: The Dessert We’d Come Back For

The Cream Caramel with Gula Apong (RM25) was a standout. We’re not usually fans of cream caramel, but this one won us over completely! It was silky smooth, not overly sweet, and the gula apong—Sarawak’s signature palm sugar—added a smoky depth that made each spoonful better than the last. It's the kind of dessert that make you quietly plan a return visit.

More To Explore

While we focused on a few favourites, the full Sarawak menu offers plenty more to discover. From the refreshing Kerabu Midin (RM25) to the bold Wagyu Beef Tepus (RM128) and crispy Sarawak Terubuk (RM78), each dish brings a unique taste of Sarawak to the rooftop. Even the sides and desserts—like the Sambal Terung Asam (RM18) and Kek Lapis Sarawak (RM25)—carry the same thoughtful touch.
