Mini ‘Sambal’ Bread at Prime Steak House, The Ritz Carlton
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009It was the 31st of December 2007. My then-partner-current-hubby and I and my boss had decided to spend New Year’s eve at Ritz Carlton’s Prime Steak House, for a New Year’s six-course menu dinner.
Since it was quite a long time ago, I don’t remember what we had, but what I do remember is this small bread (served in its tiny little baking dish) that they called roti sambal. Roti means bread and sambal is a mix of chilli which is usually served together with Indonesian dish. There are many different kinds of sambal, depending on the mixture. This bread was made with sambal terasi (terasi is dried shrimp paste) and it tasted really good. It was not very spicy actually so I thought it went well as a bread taste. It was also very unique as I never came across anything like this before.
See how small the bread (and the pan) is compared to my hand? It’s so cute, I had difficulties controlling myself not to snatch the bread pan. (I am crazy about small things) I may try to go back there and see whether they still serve these.
