The architectural and interior design was done by the famous Michael White, or more affectionately known as Made Wijaya. It blends both metal and organic elements together and is complimented by stunning colours, brilliant textures and traditional pictures. With most of the interior consisting of wooden objects such as furniture and ornaments, the solid metal railings and staircase really stands out. The open air concept and the dim lights, together with the dreamy music playing in the background, create the perfect atmosphere for love birds sharing a special night together.
At Lamak Restaurant, be prepared to be blown away by the culinary skills of Chef Roland Lickert. Each dish is meticulously prepared and its presentation is a work of art. Choose from the Chef"s recommendation menu to experience the best of Lamak. One of the dishes that stand out is the Lobster Lasagne. Unlike any regular lasagne, this layered delight is served with a unique blend of papaya chilli sauce but don"t be fooled by the name as it is not spicy at all. The BBQ Prawns is another good option and it is beautifully presented with a rice pancake and vegetables. The prawns are served ready-to-eat and are sweetened by a hint of honey. The Coconut Cake is a unique concoction that explores the entire palate. A perfect blend of pineapple, mango, coconut and ginger served with chilli ice cream will be the perfect way to punctuate your meal.
Lamak Restaurant has seen the likes of many well known locals including the ex-president of Indonesia , President Megawati. It doesn"t come as a surprise that the staff is very well-trained and well-versed with the entire menu. They are attentive without being too intrusive as well as friendly and helpful. If you are unsure about what to order, suggestions from the staff would be advisable.
