Thanks to the friendly staff for recommending this Sup Ekor. So good! A hearty portion of tummy-warming, flavourful oxtail broth, richly seasoned with a bouquet of house spices, topped with celery cress and crispy shallot.
Reasons to visit Shook! The Starhill Dining: stylish new digs; menu catering to a variety of tastes; Dancing Prawns; grill menu; cocktails from The Alchemy; although wine by the glass is not particularly impressive their vertical collection of Chateau Mouton Rothschild dating back to the 1940s is worth at least a little envy.
The comprehensive spread of authentic Malay dishes includes all-time favourites such as Rendang Daging ‘Tok’, Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak, Nasi Briyani, Sup Ekor and Bubur Lambuk
A must to try and they are absolutely my favourite. The Japanese Bean Curd is being deep fried till perfection with the crispy at the outside texture and the inside brings you with the melts in the mouth sensation. They are indeed superb and every mouthful is delectably delicious!
The main dish from this menu, that we ordered is the Pomfret Steamed with Sour Plums, Tomatoes and Preserved Vegetable 潮州蒸鯧魚. This dish is best eaten with rice as the sauce was just done to perfection.
The chee cheong fun with prawns (RM14) was silky smooth
The staffs’ service is good and the environment is comfortable. Jogoya is definitely one of the top choices for a buffet meal.

I enjoyed my visit to The Alchemy very much and intend to come back again when I’m in a bougie mood. The servers were very attentive and prioritised precision, not expediency. I was very surprised at the prices not being outrageous considering the location. I have absolutely seen cocktails at tacky bars that cost more than the prices here. The drink prices in each category (except whiskies) are satisfyingly round numbers with little differentiation. Cost-conscious individuals like myself aren’t immediately drawn to the cheapest option because there are about twenty premium choices that are all the same price. RM40 for a lovingly prepared cocktail by a friendly and gentle bartender that I get to enjoy in a beautiful, relaxing setting – I’ll happily shell out for that.
Reasons to visit The Alchemy, The Starhill Dining: It was difficult to narrow down the field, but Vesper, Alaska and Bittersweet Symphony were our favourites. If you’re a G&T fiend, ask Johnny and his team to mix up an original scientific exploration just for you.
Available every Saturday and Sunday from 3PM to 6PM, enjoy 3-tiers afternoon tea set that put together beautiful, dainty morsels, complimented by your choice of tea/coffee. The Alchemy New Yorker Afternoon Tea is priced at RM160 for two
We enjoyed the Classic Cheese Beef Burger (RM32) by V88 Starhill – made with house grind Aussie chuck tender for a balanced portion of lean & fat, caramelised onion and yellow cheddar. Patty was juicy with bits of gherkin for a bit of “heat” and the buns were soft and coloured with a shade of red from the addition of beetroot.
Reasons to visit: The La Rossa, the unique beetroot pasta, soft, simple flavors create a healthy and warming plate to detox with. Alternatively, stop by for an espresso and a piece of the light and decadent Torta di Carote, to sweeten up your day just right.
For the lunar new year celebrations, the restaurant is offering only 2 special set menus.

The two set of Chinese New Year menu, namely Four Season Fortune Set Menu四季好景宴, starts from RM398; while for Four Season Golden Jade Prosperity Set 金玉滿堂宴, the price is from RM788. We sampled the Four Season Fortune Set Menu and have to say that, it is one of the highly recommended CNY set to try out in 2018.
掌廚的香港籍總廚區家華師傅,今年精心炮製了3款魚生賀歲,除了經典的潮州魚生,少不了廣受歡迎的三文魚魚生,和素食魚生。 另一邊廂,他特備兩套新春套餐,分別是「四季好景宴」
First to arrive was the Daging Rusuk, and the staff promptly portioned it out for us and served it on our plates. Great service! The beef ribs has first been braised, then charcoal grilled, imparting a delicious smokiness to the tender meat. The meat was especially good eaten with the air asam jawa as the tangy sauce pairs well with the rich meat. Highly recommended!
I was told their most popular kerabu is the Kerabu Jambu Air Ikan Bilis, a unique mix of crunchy rose apples, fried anchovies tossed with shredded lemongrass, honey and lime juice.
Ayam Percik Grilled spring chicken with creamy coconut sauce. It is moist, tender and well packed with different spices, creating a plethora of flavors.

Canadian Oyster is my personal favourite. It was superbly fresh and when eat together with Tabasco and a bit of Lemon juice, yum!! Canada Oyster (3pcs) @ RM 28.30

四月限定推出的英国皇族风下午茶,以英国王后Anne Boleyn作为主题,令传统英式下午茶更添皇族的贵气。
For those who prefer something milder with fruity notes, the Yellow curry shrimp (RM75) is a good choice. The size of the prawns they use here are rather impressive, cooked along with pineapple chunks and kaffir lime leaves.
Chef Guk is a wizard in frying fish – his fried fish dishes are pieces of delicious art. Fried to perfection and served with various types of sauces, the fishes are excellent. Deep-fried Grouper with Sweet Chilli Sauce (RM105)
Signature Thai desserts not to be missed are Kanom Jaak, rice pudding and coconut wrapped in a palm leaf and chargrilled to perfection and the perennial favourite, Khao Niaw Mamuang, mango with sticky rice and coconut cream.
As the guest chef responsible for the Japanese-Australian Epicurean Affair menu for the hotel’s #DinewithChef series (24 August to 3 September), Fong then proceeded to guide Harris on the sushi-making masterclass.
Thirty8 is famous for its incredible view, overseeing the city skyline of Kuala Lumpur and The twin towers, while sipping on your tea, hanging out with your friends or family, and have some dessert.
Overall, THIRTY8 offers one of the best views of the KL cityscape. However, we found the food to be hit-or-miss. In summary – come for the view, but temper your expectations for the food.
Conceived as an experiential haven for both connoisseurs and newbies, the 12-seater Sake Room will set the stage for immersive food and sake matching experiences; counting among its drawcard a sake from Hokusetsu, Japan that's brewed exclusively for the Nobu Group.
We truly enjoyed our afternoon at the new location of Nobu Kuala Lumpur. The food was superb, the location is a stunner, and the service was fabulous. One could easily slip into this accessible location for a bite to eat at the sushi bar, a drink at the inviting cocktail bar, a meal with family and friends, or a private meal in the 12-person private room overlooking the park. This new location has everything you would expect from the high standards of Nobu, right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
The ‘Ode to Nobu’ Omakase menu is priced at RM595++ per person. The elegant 7-course menu, available until 31 October 2019
Overall, I do say this place does live up to the hype.
For example we really like this Unagi Bao RM28. Small in size, big in flavours. Spicy, succulent unagi contrasted by crunchiness of deep fried nori, flavours lifted up with salted egg crumble and julienne cucumber for a refreshing crisp that comes in just right. Served over a basket of sweet potato chips.
THE LINGUIST (MYR 30) Sautéed Prawns and Clams with Chili Linguine, Garlic and Rocket Huge and fresh prawns were spotted!
Service is slow, food is nice, price is above average. Value for money item would be Fried Chicken and Curry Rice. Cheese cake with cream is pretty good.
Overall, the high cost of the meal (RM268 for 2.5 diners) wasn’t matched by the quality of food, so I don’t think I am likely to return in the near future. On the other hand, if I could get away with just having three courses of dessert, I might change my mind.
YURI / Matcha 6th Avenue Cheesecake! Priced at RM21, this is exclusively made available at The Tokyo Restaurant, Isetan The Japan Store, Lot 10. We personally prefer this to the original now as it has the right balance of sweetness together with the matcha. So velvety smooth and tasty!

Flavours were sweet and clear in most of the dishes, as what Hongkong-style does: allowing the natural goodness of ingredients to shine. With wellness very much in mind, the dishes are well executed with minimal use of oil and hard flavouring
Healthier mooncake selections include Snow Skin Shiro Umeboshi With Green Tea Paste and Baked Bamboo Charcoal Paste With Salted Egg Yolk would go well with the health-conscious customers.
Durian lovers can indulge in the second offering which is the Snow Skin Durian Paste With Truffle
Steamed Cod with Chinese Ham Served with Honey and Supreme Stock Paste The generous portion of the cod comes perfectly good to our tastebuds. The cod is perfectly steamed together with the Chinese Ham bringing you the aromatic flavours . The dish is just awesomely good where the fish remains its flaky texture but the flavours are enhanced by the Chinese Ham as well as Supreme Stock Paste.
