Jamaica Jammin' at Lexy's Secret Service

What strange culinary voodoo has Lexy wrought? A Jamaican-themed supper club hosted by witchy-woman cook Lex Subramaniam brought a bit of Kingston to Kuala Lumpur this month, leaving guests in a Caribbean state of stomach.

Jerk Chicken

Jerks seem most welcome here, of the spice-rubbed chicken-wing variety, of course.

Curry Goat

Curry goat with pumpkin, almost deliciously surreal enough to have us pattering in Patois.

Marrow

Suck ’em marrow outta ’em bones, honey chile. They’ll keep you safe ‘n’ sound.

Jamaica’s National Dish

Jamaica’s informal national dish, Rice and Peas, nicknamed ‘Coat of Arms,’ a Sunday lunch staple for island inhabitants. Rice stewed with coconut milk and kidney beans.

Accompaniments

Spicy coleslaw and roti breads cast a satisfying spell on our stuffed stomachs.

Desserts

Banana fritters, avocado mango salsa and lemon compote: it’s a deluge of delights.

Creamy coconut rice pudding. A little bit, just enough, just right.

Reggae, Rum and Vodka

Lulled by hypnotic reggae beats and copious booze that included rum cocktails and homemade chocolate vodka, we could happily have slept over at Sentul’s FHL Sports biking store, the home of Lexy’s supper clubs.

This theme isn’t random; Lexy spent time in Brixton, absorbing the London district’s Jamaican influences sufficiently to recreate the flavors and textures of this gastronomic exotica.
