Hello! I am coming back with a food review at Ante (Publika)

Heard about this restaurant for a while and I finally have a chance to try their dishes!

So Ante is located at Publika, as I know they have another restaurant at One Utama Shopping Mall, also name Ante. Basically Ante are targeted on pork dish so I am actually curious about what they can really come out with different types of dish.

 

So this is basically how the whole restaurant looks like, cozy place and there were two tables celebrating birthday! :)

 

 

 Established since 2012 ANTE has gone from strength to strength, being nominated as Best Place for
Meats in 2014 and then as winners in 2015( Time Out KL Food Awards). Other notable mentions
would be being listed on The Yum List's best restaurant lists for 2014, 2015, Hungrygowhere's five best
places to eat in Publika, Say's Top 9 Must try pork dishes in the Klang Valley and being reviewed in
tradtional media such as The Star and The Edge.
ANTE's menu has always been revised and revamped yearly, to ensure that the team ups the ANTE, so
to speak. Every dish that is listed on the menu has been extensively researched and further developed to
ensure customer satisfaction.
This updated menu will showcase ANTE's main strength, meats. The signature pork steak category has
increased to include a total of 4 cuts, each with its own signature sauce and accompaniments. Other
parts of the menu has also been upgraded, such as the miso pork belly, a house smoked bacon salad as
well as a braised pork shoulder stew, earmarked to be a crowd favourite.
The pasta section has also been given equal care and attention, bringing in different styles such as the
Salmon Al Fredo, Smoked Duck Pesto and a Spicy Arrabiatta. Not forgetting ANTE's infamous Char
Siu Curry Cream Pasta and it's Carbonara.
ANTE has always strived to ensure everything is house made, from ricotta cheese, to smoking their
own bacon for certain dishes as well as handpicking and manicuring every piece of pork steak that is
served to its customers. Helmed by a team of young local chefs who are armed with a can do attitude
and the willingness to understand, respect and challenge the traditional cooking styles while stamping
their own styles on the food.

 

 House Smoked Bacon- 3 slices of 8mm thick bacon seared to give it a slight crust,
the bacon is made from raw at ANTE, where the kitchen team manicures, brine and
air dry before smoking it. Served with seeded mustard.
RM 19

Love how crispy it is :)

 

Tasting platter-A cold cuts platter featuring imported Jamon Iberico, spanish cured
ham, cubes of smoked duck breast, with a side of extra virgin olive oil infused
rockmelon and ricotta. A slice of Lescure butter and Sourdough bread to complete the
platter. A platter that encourages sharing as a precursor to a meal or as an afternoon
delight. RM 46

Add ons of each and every component will be listed under the Tasting platter
on the menu, so customers will be able to have more of what they love.
 

 

Crispy Trotter salad- An exclusive salad only available at ANTE Publika ONLY, pork

Garden Duck Salad-An ANTE favourite, duck breast slices with baby romaine, tossed

dish that highlights the juiciness of duck breasts complimented by the sweetness of grilled
watermelons, cherry tomatoes and the orange brandy dressing.

of fat, chargrilled. Served with a black pepper sauce, fries, caramelised onions,

showcases that pork has dark meat that when grilled properly makes a good steak.

Carbonara- A classic dish that ANTE has made into one of it's signature dishes, the
pasta is made with cream, pork bacon, button mushrooms and egg yolks. RM 30
