Here are some of the dishes which we tried at Burnt & Co:

✨ Chargrilled kailan with wild garlic oil and budu aioli (RM18)

The Chargrilled Kailan is one of the most raved about dishes here at Burnt & Co. This humble vegetable is chargrilled directly on coals, imparting an intense smoky flavour to greens. Served with buah kulim (wild garlic) oil, crispy garlic chips and budu aioli.

Red peppers are roasted in the charcoal oven to accentuate the sweetness. Topped on sourdough toast along with grilled baby octopus, pickled jalapeno, shallots and herbs.
