Mokky's Pizza & Coffee introduced its Merdeka and Hari Malaysia promotion featuring two innovative dishes, the Kerabu Pizza and Tempeh Melt Sticks that celebrate Malaysia's rich culinary heritage with a modern twist.

Let’s explore what makes the Kerabu Pizza and Tempeh Melt Sticks truly special.

Kerabu Pizza

The Kerabu Pizza beautifully blends the traditional flavours of Nasi Kerabu with a contemporary twist. The pizza features a unique blue-hued dough, inspired by the blue rice of Nasi Kerabu, thanks to the infusion of butterfly pea flowers. This gives the crust a visually striking and delightfully soft blue colour.

The Kerabu Pizza not only lives up to its bold description but also delivers an extraordinary flavour experience. The combination of traditional and modern elements is executed flawlessly. The pizza’s appearance alone is a masterpiece, and the flavour? Let's just say it's unique and it's a flavour you never thought you needed before.

Instead of the usual tomato sauce, the pizza is topped with a rich Ayam Bakar Percik base. This sauce is made from tender grilled chicken marinated in a blend of spices and coconut milk, delivering a bold, smoky flavour with a touch of sweetness.

Toppings include white cabbage, kacang botol, bunga kantan, kacang panjang, and shredded coconut. To complete the experience, a drizzle of spicy sambal adds an extra kick, enhancing the authentic Malaysian taste. The pizza is available in a 12-inch size for RM33.00.

Well, this isn't just any pizza, for us, it's a flavour bomb that perfectly captures the essence of Nasi Kerabu. Imagine the creamy, coconut-milky goodness of the traditional dish transformed into a pizza, delivering a burst of flavour with every bite.

This pizza is absolutely bussin’ (as Gen Zs would say) and it’s like enjoying Nasi Kerabu without the rice, but packed into a delicious pizza experience.

Tempeh Melt Sticks

The Tempeh Melt Sticks celebrates a cherished ingredient in Malaysian cuisine known for its rich, nutty flavour and satisfying texture. By incorporating tempeh into mozzarella sticks, this dish honours its significance in local food culture.

Much like the Kerabu Pizza, which marries traditional Malaysian flavours with a modern twist, the Tempeh Melt Sticks blend local ingredients with a popular snack, symbolising the unity and diversity celebrated during Merdeka.

The sticks feature a crispy tempeh coating, creating a hearty, crunchy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the soft, gooey mozzarella inside. They are golden-fried with breadcrumbs, achieving a perfect balance of crispiness and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Accompanied by a spicy caramel onion dipping sauce, the Tempeh Melt Sticks offer a bold flavour that enhances the overall taste experience.

Don't miss out on these limited-time delights! From August 28 to September 16, 2024, Mokky's Pizza in Bukit Tunku and Bukit Jelutong is serving up two exclusive menu items that you won't want to miss.
