Treating yellowfin tuna differently

For the Grilled Tuna Tikka Skewers, Siew uses the meat located slightly above the fish’s belly, which contains a bit of oil and has no veins.

MAKAN Kitchen in Double Tree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur is taking Malaysian cuisine up a notch by incorporating yellowfin tuna in its local dishes.

The Yellowfin Tuna and Seafood promotion, which will be held from Nov 6 to Dec 26, will see five specialty dishes — Torched Tuna Belly with Garlic Soy Vinaigrette, Grilled Tuna Tikka Skewers, Tuna Tartare Kerabu with Tanghoon, Tuna Nyonya Laksa and Tuna Umai with Mango Salad — taking centre stage.
