Carbón Restaurant
Carbón Restaurant presents The Great Kuau Raja. Inspired by the elusive Kuau Raja (Great Argus pheasant), a magnificent bird native to the lush rainforests of Sumatra, Carbón brings nature’s wild beauty to life on a plate. Just as the Kuau Raja’s striking plumage is a rare sight in the wilderness, the kulat pelawan mushroom—with its deep, earthy umami flavor—forms the foundation of this unique creation. Shaped into delicate, circular mounds that evoke the bird’s elaborate feathers, the mushroom mousse is as visually captivating as it is flavorful.
