Lai Po Heen at Mandarin Oriental Welcomes Chef Thomas Fong from Doha
April 24th, 2024
Bid ‘hola’ to Andale! Andale!, a new Mexican food stall. This one’s in the food court of The Intermark on Tun Razak, helmed by another couple, Stephen & Carmela, the American-&-Mexican force behind Terrace At Hock Choon’s La Mexicana.
Andale! Andale! adheres to the culinary traditions of Carmela’s homeland, dishing out recipes with a home-cooked foundation. Comfort food like pork tenderloin bathed in salsa verde, served with corn-laced rice, carrots & beans. Also very fairly priced at RM11.50 for a substantial portion with plenty of tender meat.
Fish with morita-style chili sauce (RM11.50). Texturally terrific, with a tasty sauce, though the fish had a bit of an odd flavour that could possibly be blamed on storage issues. Customers can also order house-made corn tortillas (RM3.90 for three) to make their own fish or meat tacos with these courses.
Andale! Andale!’s version of ‘horchata’ – a rice & cinnamon beverage – makes for an absolutely lovely thirst-quencher. Mexican milk cakes & flan both feature on the desserts list.
