A familiar local comfort, elevated the ROOTS way.

Our Char Siu-Glazed Beef Brisket Claypot Rice brings that warm, homey feeling of a good claypot meal, made richer with tender Coorong Black beef brisket and finished with roselle dragon chive, shallot, crispy sweetleaf and wing bean.

Comforting, deeply flavourful and still rooted in something familiar. Available at ROOTS for a limited time!

Tender full of flavour, our Coorong Black Beef Striploin is one worth trying!

Glazed with nutmeg jus, the striploin is paired with crispy garlic for an extra layer of flavour and texture. The pineapple curry patchree brings an unexpected twist, with its unique touch working surprisingly well alongside the richness of the beef.

A combination you might not expect, but one that just works. ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ

A savoury dessert, and perhaps the most unexpected dish in the collection.

The Cured Sheepโ€™s Milk Comtรฉ has a mellow, savoury depth with a gentle nuttiness rather than an overly salty flavour. Caramelised onion brings a touch of sweetness, while the 60% dark chocolate adds only a subtle cacao note that works surprisingly well with the cheese.

Rich, balanced and unlike the usual dessert, this is one to try with an open mind.

Beautifully crafted by Chef John, this Chicken Liver Mousse on Toasted Brioche is just as striking in flavour as it is on the plate. Uniquely unexpected too! ๐Ÿž๐ŸŒน

The mousse is smooth, rich and savoury, lifted by the gentle tang of roselle, with cacao nibs and beurre noisette adding depth to every bite. It is a truly unique combination and something you do not often come across in Kuching.
