If masakan Minang makes your mouth water, S'lasih seeks to satisfy, with all the santan-saturated gulai and spice-suffused lado that represent West Sumatra's Padang cuisine.
Served for sharing, the choices prove crowd-pleasing, rich-flavoured but not too hard-hitting, aromatic with merely a mellow fieriness, easy for the entire table to enjoy.
Between the chicken and egg, pick both - the ayam pop does tender, tantalising justice to Indonesian fried fowl (RM25), while the telur balado is a can't-fail way to make hard-boiled eggs extra tasty (RM9).
Beef is respectably represented by dendeng batatok, the sweet-savoury jerky (RM17), and the addictive gulai kikil, bearing gelatinous slivers of tendon (RM17).
Round out the ensemble of orders with belut balado, eel showered with sultry sambal (RM15).
