[Food Review] Rakshee @ The Strand Kota
Damansara
Petaling Jaya, December 2015 – A few weeks ago, I
have attended a food review session under Food
Ink and it was a great one featuring Bakso
as their main signatures. The restaurant is Rakshee which is located at The
Strand, Kota Damansara.
Event: Rakshee Food Review
Venue: Rakshee
No 13G,
Jalan 5/20A, The Strand Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, 46350 Selangor.
Remark:
They serve beef.
Rakshee has been operating close to a year by
young entrepreneurs of different background including Oil & Gas and
F&B.
One of
the founders, the uncle owns a Bakso factory in Penang for more than 13 years. Rakshee
is part of the strategy to boost the production of the factory and part of the
plan to bring this Indonesia street food to another level.
Just in
case you do not know yet, Bakso is a kind of meatball made from beef that is commonly
consumed in Indonesia. What makes Bakso to be distinct from a typical meatball?
Bakso uses more lean meat than fats. Rakshee’s
menu is fully created by their in-house chef. There is one prerequisite for
every new dish, that is, to include Bakso into it. Apart from serving Bakso with beef soup, they even have Pasta
with Bakso instead of using normal Italian meatball. All their Bakso is sourced
from the uncle’s factory. This idea aims to make Rakshee a Bakso themed restaurant and make us link Bakso-related
savoury to the name of Rakshee.
What
does Rakshee means? Rakshee is derived from an informal
Arabic language and it means joyful and relaxation. With its wide range of
Bakso delicacies and modernized hipster-like based design, the place no doubt
can make the customers feel joyful and relaxed.
The
café has attracted different kind of patrons from the west Malaysia, Indonesia
and Singapore. Rakshee has ready-investors for expanding another outlet at
Setiawangsa probably in a year time.
Rakshee’s
mission is to educate people about the new way of eating Bakso. More exciting
menu will be added along the way with promotion. For more Bakso greatness, do
follow their Instagram.
