We were recently invited to Goa .... not in India but in KL to preview the dishes that is going to be served on August 18, 2018 at special dinner themed "A Tantalisingly Delicious Affair with Celebrity Chef Sapna Anand " at RM 150 per person.
Goa, the smallest Indian state on the west coast, has remained the dream destination for travelers all over the globe. Pristine beaches, a unique cultural mix coupled with warm hospitality, upscale accommodation and deliciously different food keep national and international tourists returning for decades.
In Kuala Lumpur, there happens to be a slice of that magic in the guise of Goa by Hubba located at the prestigious Ascott Kuala Lumpur, in the heart of the Golden Triangle.
Celebrating the spices of Indian cuisine, the menu features New Indian Cuisine by Celebrity Chef Sapna Anand, herself born and bred in Goa.
Almost a year since it’s inception, Goa has garnered an assembly of admirers drawn to signature dishes like the Kashmiri Lamb Chop, Garlic Butter Prawn, Vegetarian Mantoa and Beef Vindalho. What more when these delectable dishes are complemented by Goan Bombay Sapphire Gin Inspired Cocktails that amuses the palate with exotic spices.
Not resting on its laurels, Sapna and the Goa team have been rustling up new dishes to inject freshness into the menu. With her many months away recently, and this time to India's tropical Malabar Coast, Kerala, Sapna has brought home some very interesting flavours.

The hero were the home made Appams which served as the base to be enjoyed with the new dishes.
The Beef Pepper Fry with bite sized chunks of beef laden with spices especially pepper made for a tasty snack.
The vegetarian Vegetable Ishtew was simple yet very flavourful.
The Fish Mango Curry using fresh red snapper was subtly tart as it uses young raw mango which left an umami aftertaste on your palate. You may also opt for Tiger prawns instead of the red snapper for this delightful curry.
The melt in your mouth Malabar Style Mutton Curry was literally to die for, rich, spicy yet mellow, this dish drew the most ooooohs and aaaaaaahs round the table.
They also served huge lamb chops that looked like the star of the night, it was simply delicious.
The Goan Prawn Curry cooked cooked in freshly grated coconut and tamarind, is a rich and creamy dish, a must have for all Goans!
The dinner ended on a sweet note with a Caramelised Banana & Goa’s Home-made Peanut Ice Cream with Appam which hit the right note.
“My food is simple and is what I would cook for my family. I am so happy to be able to share it with you tonight. The hero of tonight’s food are the spices, the cooking and the combinations you tasted tonight are the secret to sublime Indian cooking.” explained Sapna modestly.
