Analysis

What distinguishes COMO’s nasi goreng from typical versions:

Quality ingredients: Premium jasmine rice, fresh vegetables

Balance: Despite richness, the dish maintains equilibrium
Egg integration: The runny yolk acts as a sauce, enriching the rice

Ingredients:

500g day-old cooked jasmine rice (refrigerated overnight)
300g chicken breast, diced
2 eggs (1 for fried rice, 1 for topping)

Asian-Western fusion: Coconut jelly (Asian) meets sundae concept (Western)

Dietary Balance

COMO Shambhala Kitchen Advantage: The wellness menu provides:

Lower-calorie options
Lean proteins (grilled fish)

Cooking Techniques Observed

Traditional Methods Preserved:

Prevents moisture loss
Requires patience and timing

2. High-Heat Wok Cooking (Nasi Goreng)

Quick cooking preserves vegetable texture
Imparts slight smokiness

Allows spices to bloom fully
Creates complex, layered flavors
