Cornerstone of pizza

Singaporean chef Sam Neoh, who formerly shepherded the kitchen at the city-state’s PS Cafe, oversees an oeuvre of crowd-pleasing temptations with contemporary flourishes, offered at reasonable prices. Pizzas are a cornerstone; we’re happy to honour the Green Goddess (RM30), a bountiful harvest of kale, broccoli, asparagus, sugar snap peas and smoky pesto with goat’s cheese, an homage to vegetarians that’s distinctive and delicious enough to warrant the worship of any pizza devotee.

Cross-border menu

The menu is a passport to cross-border cuisine-hopping, ranging from the Middle East mezze of textured hummus, spicy muhammara and creamy baba ganoush with house-baked flatbread (RM18) to the American hot Reuben sandwich with pastrami, salami, melted Swiss cheese, BBQ sauce and an extra flourish of kimchi (RM32).

Comfort food

If there’s one underlying, unifying theme, it may be comfort food, in portions constructed for sharing, from the rotisserie chicken with ratatouille (RM32 for half a chicken) to Botanica + Co’s interpretation of poutine, with shoestring fries coated in a sauce of beef and gruyere (RM24).

Cocktails

With an alluring ambiance like this, it’d be a shame not to indulge in day drinking – Botanica + Co promises several intriguing cocktails, including the Alphonso (RM35; Cana Brava rum, mango, curry leaves), Carlos (RM30; tequila, mango, pineapple, lime), Frank (RM30; basically a banana mojito) and Botanica Collins (RM85, serving two to four customers; an extra-large Tom Collins with West Winds gin and a bunch of sage, rosemary and thyme).
