Luckee Cafe Bar Puchong Lamb and Daikon Stew

The Lamb & Daikon Stew at Luckee Cafe Bar Puchong was exactly the sort of dish I needed at the end of the week. Rich, comforting and substantial, this was easily the highlight of dinner.

We started with the Rainbow Harvest Salad. It certainly lives up to the name, arriving as a rather colourful plate of lettuce, apple, cherry tomatoes, corn, red cabbage, olives, cranberries and cheese, with glazed walnuts adding another texture to the mix.

It was a good starter. There was plenty going on, but the combination of fresh vegetables and fruit kept things light enough before the much heavier main course arrived.

The Lamb & Daikon Stew was a sizeable dish and one I'd happily order again.

What made it work for me was the daikon. Those thick pieces had been allowed to sit in the stew long enough to soak up the dark, savoury gravy while becoming wonderfully soft. The lamb itself was tender, with the richness of the meat carrying through the gravy.

It is proper comfort food, especially when you get a spoonful of lamb, daikon and gravy together.

We finished with the Whisky Salted Caramel.
