Malaysian omakase restaurant Eat and Cook creates a special delivery box combining gourmet ingredients with an element of surprise
These are uncertain times but the notion of unpredictably takes on a whole different meaning when it is a mysterious delivery from an omakase restaurant. Eat And Cook has created a special Mystery Box that delivers diners a gourmet meal; in true omakase style, you won't know what's in store until it is presented in front of you.

Chef Lee Zhe Xi says he got the idea after he and his team decided they wanted to surprise their guests. “I always love exploring ingredients and flavours of Malaysia. The research and knowledge that my team and I have gained have helped us a lot in coming up with fun and crazy ideas such as infusing dishes by adding unexpected ingredients. I love presenting something unique to our diners and surprising them,” he says.
Our Mystery Box arrives without much fanfare and, with Lee's permission, here's a peek at what's inside:
- Flame-seared Aji (Japanese horse mackerel) with scallion mayo
- Prawn bisque with tobiko (flying fish roe) and ulam
- Two types of scallops: in turmeric tiradillo and roasted tomato sauce
- Cencaluk (fermented shrimp) fried chicken with acar salad
- Grilled squid with paku salad, ulam and soy dressing
- Eggplant in herb coconut relish
- Gnocchi and smoked threadfin fish arancini
- Pineapple and coconut tart
Our favourites are the scallop in a heady roasted tomato sauce and the pleasantly smoky squid.
