Updated 3 years ago · Published on 09 Jan 2023 5:00PM

MENTION Lunar New Year and a food-laden reunion dinner springs to mind.

Rather than the “traditional” dishes, ever thought of truly Malaysian fare? Well, eat X dignity café, by local NGO, Dignity for Children Foundation (Dignity), is offering a Malaysian reunion dish – Nasi Lemak Itik Kerutuk.

To the Chinese, duck symbolises fertility, a truly auspicious dish during a season where happiness, prosperity and health are uppermost in all good wishes.

Adding to the goodness of this Malaysian Lunar dish is the fact that the ducks are 100% organic and anti-biotics free as they are sourced directly from Dignity’s Farm in Bentong.

The Nasi Lemak Itik Keruntuk will be available in store at eat X dignity and also on Grab. It is priced at RM24 per set excluding delivery charges. And, if the Nasi Lemak Itik Kerutuk is not “quack” for you, bake X dignity offers the classic Lunar New Year staples of cookies and tarts.

The bakery offers three different flavours of cookies – lychee blossom, salted egg yolk, and signature chocolate. Also available are Florentines and the all-time favourite of pineapple tarts.

The assortment of baked goods come in individual small and large jars or in mall and large corporate gift sets.

Funds raised from the sale of the baked goods and Nasi Lemak Itik Kerutuk will be used to sustain the transformational enterprises and continued skills training of Dignity’s students working at the café and bakery.
