Modernist cuisine or Molecular Gastronomy might not be new to the world but it's definitely something to range over, particularly for Penangites. Innovation is a critical element when it comes to a modernist kitchen- not only that the Chef must change the customary way one would prepare and present the dish but the Chef must bring a change to how diners experience the food either. Adventurous eaters can make their way to the small alley at Nagore Square (where all the bars and small little shops located); A.Maze occupies a strategic corner right next to the vacant land; from outside, the restaurant suggests a nary of information on what it is about to serve, inside... there are only 8 seats arranged snugly facing a small kitchen manned by the Chef-Owner Chef Wei. The very young and talented Chef honed his culinary skills from overseas and had had working experience in Michelin-starred restaurants. A.Maze serves "Omakase" which literally means "leave it to the Chef". To experience the avant-garde culinary journey in A.Maze, it is recommended that you make at least one-day advance reservation. The serving menu is usually kept undisclosed but diners can indicate their diet-preferences (allergies/ religious practices etc). The menu (will be shared on their Facebook Page) changes seasonally but a standard "Omakase" dinner at A.Maze is usually Rm 128 nett (including beverages).
More information will be shared on the blog real soon.
