Every year my best friends and I will select one good restaurant to celebrate our Christmas gift exchange, therefore this year we have decided to choose this...
Considering Soleil's refined ambience and impeccable table service, the price is very affordable to people who appreciate fine wines.
CHICKEN Chasseur | Spatzle | Autumn Vegetables CHICKEN, main course that you will hardly go wrong with. Fried chicken leg done right – crispy crackly skin, shielding juicy, tender meat beneath. What raise our attention are these homemade German spaetzle, a type of pasta made from eggs, flour, water and salt. Mini and doughy, goes well with chasseur sauce served along.
Reasons to check out the reopening of Skillet at 163 KL and their modern European cuisine menu: exciting seasonal menu; contemporary and stylish setting; beautifully plated food; must try the Venison Pithivier and do have a look at their juice pairing by Chris Chung here.
Next is the Lobster, an absolutely flawless dish, both in terms of presentation and flavours. Extremely pleasing to the eye, the butter poached lobster is embellished with celery, apple, edible flowers and rutabaga (swede) with mascarpone. To go with the lobster, a sauce made from fermented apples with fish broth is poured tableside, finished with a few drops of kombu oil. Beautiful, delicate flavours.. loved it!
Ooohh..la..la... the meat was tender and juicy, even better than the one we had on our very first visit. The tomato sauce which is similar to the one served with the Patatas Bravas enhanced the riblicious experience. We regretted not going with our gut feeling of getting a full rack. Next time!
To be honest, I was not hungry at full capacity (surprise, surprise) and I myself may have been underwhelmed by the experience. But still, my brother and I ate with gusto as we always do.
Verdict: It was an enjoyable Spanish lunch, a very unexpected one indeed. The food definitely good enough to induce repeat visits.
Reasons to visit the Perrier-Jouët Sunday Brunch at Graze: free-flow Perrier-Jouët Rose and Brut; table service; 15 courses of meticulously crafted and beautifully presented dishes.
Graze is currently offering a four-course “Choose Your Region” European themed menu for groups of minimum 10 pax. The personalised dining experience is Ideal for European embassy functions, family reunions, business annual dinners and all kinds of celebrations. Prices start from RM200 nett per person and an additional RM180 nett for wine pairing.
Coming to “Eggs” choices. There are five to pick from the latest menu but recommendation wise, it is difficult because all are lovely. It depends if you love to have it in poached eggs, scrambled eggs or omelette. We personally enjoyed Single Poached Egg, Ratatouille, Fresh Basil, Parmesan on Sourdough Toast (RM20), as well as Sauteed Tiger Prawns, Two Onsen Style Poached Eggs in Glass with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Mixed Cress, Multigrain Bread Stick (RM30) – a dish that has got us impressed since our first visit, and still equally delicious till today. Must-try.
如果您的另一半是一位素食者或非常注重健康生活之人，在这里绝对可以放心食用😍。
The other main was Confit of Soon Hock. I like this one better. The fish was cooked decently and flakes off well. I thought the portion was a little too small to be a main but maybe that’s an internal food cost calculation thing. I would go for this over the beef. The addition of potato balls (?) was a bit curious though. I did not think it added to the dish and the texture doesn’t go very well since both are soft.
Samplings On The Fourteenth Restaurant Berjaya Times Square Hotel which has won many accolades and awards will satiate your taste buds during this month-long festival promotion from 1st September 2108 to 30th September 2018. Samplings On The Fourteenth Restaurant will have two menu’s that convey the exquisite taste of fusion gourmet taste for you and your guest; The first is the MIGF Festival Menu (RM268nett per set) and the MIGF Light Menu (RM168nett).
Food writing is an on-going learning journey. A visit to Anne Elizabeth, a deli-style restaurant owned by husband and wife team, Jacob Fong and Sandra Lee, proved enlightening as I grappled with unfamiliar meat cuts like abanico and picanha.
Next to arrive was the Australian marbled ribeye (RM78), which was perfectly cooked to medium doneness as requested. We chose this as the marbling looked incredible on the meat in its raw state, and it certainly did not disappoint in terms of taste too... super tender and juicy! Served with two types of sauce and mustard.
We had, not one but two pieces of Iberico Abanico (RM39.80 per piece). Each piece is about 250gm. Grilled to 70% doneness, Jacob assured us that this is very safe for consumption since it is Iberico. The texture of the Abanico is amazing, utterly tender, juicy and has a beautiful bouncy bite. Due to the marbling, the flavour component is also deliciously tasty. Served with the three-standard mustard, dark caramelized roasted gravy and pepper cream, this cut of Iberico is further accentuated in terms of flavours. Absolutely worth a try if you have not had this before…
Asian Laksa Pasta RM27.90 As this place portrays themselves as an Asian fusion restaurant, I thought it was only appropriate if I tried out one of their Asian inspired dishes. Well, to be honest, I thoroughly enjoyed the sour and spicy flavours of the dish, blame it on my Asian palate. The pasta was cooked to the perfect al dente, and the sauce was tangy and creamy at the same time. It's like your usual Asian dish, but with an added creaminess to it, which to be honest, really complemented each other really well.
Favourite of the night is this Smoked duck breast @ RM 39.90++ Served with creamy potato mash, cherry tomato, sauté seasonal veg & red wine reduction. If some of you does not like slightly strong duck taste, then you might not really enjoy it. It is cook to perfection, soft and slightly pink on the meat. Eat along with the mash is a perfect combination.
Lucky Peaches Eating Hall & Bar offers three special menu; Festival Weekly Specials or Xmas or New Year's Eve 5 course SET Menu from RM118++ per pax, starting 12th December till New Year's Eve
Marinara Aglio Pasta at MYR 38.90+ (6% SST = MYR 41.25 nett) from the ala carte menu. As per our request for no salt, this dish is not salty at all but is still very flavourful due to the fresh seafood so we are pleased with their good service of fulfilling our special requirement.
All in all, I like the warm interior and spaciousness of the place which makes it an ideal venue if you're looking for a nice, quiet place to have dinner...and a conversation (one that's obviously a lot less hectic and noisy than some of the other restaurants in this mall) ^_~ The food, though not outstanding but certainly more than average, is still decent enough in my books for a repeat visit as there are lots more on the menu to try.
Seafood Risotto RM39.90 Our favourite in D Empire Restaurant. Risotto is getting more common in Kuala Lumpur but not all done it right, sometimes over rich, sticky and way too difficult to finish. D Empire version is surprisingly delicious! Creamy gravy but not cloying, thickly coated to rice that is still hard at the centre of grain. Tossed with mussels, squid, prawns and clams.
Colonial Cafe Christmas Eve dinner is priced at RM280nett per person (RM380nett per pearson with wine pairing.
這個12月份，The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur 的 The Smoke House 為男士們量身訂製 《绅士下午茶》下午茶，裡頭包含了一系列的鹹甜小食，無限量供應咖啡和茶，一大杯的啤酒🍺 以及3種不同口味的威士忌🥃呢！

佳节餐单包括烤全羊腿、英式传统牧羊人派，和牛肉派等圣诞飨宴不可或缺的应节美食。
All in all, their forte is still very well and deliciously maintained; love all the pastries as usual, yumz!!
Cream Tart tastes wonderful as usual, and Summerkid loves their plain croissant.
If you're looking for some fine French pastries and European styled breads, made with top quality ingredients, look no further.....but be prepared to pay! ^_* Don't leave without trying the flaky and buttery croissant, the luscious opera cake and the oozy lemon curd tart...my top favourites. If I live or work in the area (they have another smaller outlet in Atria Shopping Gallery), I certainly won't be able to stop at one visit....but alas, I'm so far away. According to their Facebook, we can get a limited range of their products at O'coffee Clubs in KLCC (Kinokuniya), Mont Kiara and The Gardens (Robinsons). To get my fix, I may just have to visit the nearest one to me in KLCC to see what they offer! ;)
The charred exterior of the steak had always been that enchanting, so good that it got engraved in the mind vividly after the maiden visit.
Overall, i think this is a good option for special occasion, comfortable and spacious environment. According to Huck, the day we went was a quiet day as people go holiday during public holiday. So, can’t vouch for how noisy it may be on a busy night.
Verdict: Overall, the food was pretty satisfying, scored well in terms of flavours and presentation. But the price was a bit on higher side (for my standard) and the service can be a little prompter.
Pork 2 Ways was delicious. I’m not a meat lover but this is exceptional. Pork 2 Ways @ RM 40
2ND Floor Kitchen & Bar at TTDI, Kuala Lumpur holds the nuances of a hipster cafe for relaxing brunch during the day; yet provides an elegant, welcoming ambience of a restaurant bar for intimate, casual dining in the evening.
Cafe Ame Soeur is a unique looking restaurant with classy and interesting vintage French decorations. It is a boutique cafe that serves delightful meals and a wide range of cakes and desserts.
Overall, the owner splashed a lot of money and hard work to decorate the whole cafe to a unique style which we have to give extra credit on that. All they need to work on is their quality of their food to make sure this cafe to continue to get return customers instead of new customers. The only worthwhile for now is their drink which is fairly acceptable even though it is a little pricey. That's the tips for their astonishing design.
On my previous post, I've written about an outing with my friend, Angeline. We went to two cafes, New Chapter by The Owls and Ame Soeur. I've already written about New Chapter by The Owls on my previous post, so now on this post, I'll continue writing about another cafe, which is Ame Soeur.
Seared Tiger Prawns Aglio Olio was yum. Al-dente spaghetti cooked to absolute perfection and I love the seasonings of Seared Tiger Prawns. Yum however I find it’s little oily in my opinion. Seared Tiger Prawns Aglio Olio @ RM 40
A mixture of nice food could be found at The Boulevard. One of the place that constantly I see my friend check in and also appears in my Instagram is this Define:Food. It is one of a restaurant that sits at level one that have attracted many diners around the area. Define Food is run by chef Malcolm Goh that had gain his reputation in the industry itself.
Nestled between the two giant malls of The Gardens and Mid Valley Mega Mall, this place is definitely an eye-catcher with its chic and modern design from the outside! Donning huge orange wordings on all of their ceiling-to-floor windows, this place is calling out to you and welcoming you with great warmth from afar. This place is currently occupying only the first floor, but renovation work has already commenced in hopes to expand its space which will include an al-fresco dining setting to accommodate more patrons who either loves their food, or their lively vibes throughout the entire place!
So, if you are here, one of the must try is their “Fish & Chips” Family Feast! One can enjoy 4 types of fish in one huge platter which includes the Atlantic Cod, Pacific Halibut, Ocean Perch and Dory. They are beautifully deep fried in different homemade batter flavours and sides with the chunky chips, creamy mash, garlic butter rice, mushy peas, garden peas, coleslaw, baked beans, pickled egg, gherkin, tartar sauce and the vinegar. Their chunky chips are so good to snack on unlike other frozen chips from other places. They are homemade, hand peeled and triple-cooked to golden crisp, with soft and fluffy on the inside.
My only negative is that meal here can easily get quite expensive, with us paying almost RM85 for what is pub food in the West. Though it’s missing some of the quintessential fish and chip touches like being served on chip shop paper and accompanied by a tantalizingly cold lager, Cor Blimey British Fish & Chips is a delicious and reasonably authentic facsimile of the classic British dish. It’s a good shout for anyone who either wants to try proper fish and chips for the first time, or those wanting to revisit their time in England. Just grab a chap, leg it to this place that’s the bee’s knees, and Bob’s your uncle!
For starters, we had the Crispy Calamari (RM68.00) - and this was a great choice to kickstart our meal. It was appetizing on the verge of addictive, with a nice and chewy crunch to it. At the side, squid ink aioli.
While I would not rate The Brasserie as just a 2, they do not deserve a solid 3 either due to the sauce of the tuna and definitely the dessert which was a real flop in my opinion.
Sunday Brunch Date and Time: Every Sunday 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM Price: MYR298 nett per person with non-alcoholic beverages MYR468 nett per person with alcoholic beverages
Reasons to visit Cantaloupe Troika Sky Dining: excellent set menus offering four, six and eight courses; stunning setting; good wine list with several natural and organic options.
Cantaloupe is one of KL's leading destination for delicate cuisine with a view. It has opened at the iconic building, The Troika, overlooking the picturesque KL Twin Towers and the lush green KLCC park. The dining room at Cantaloupe was designed by an infamous interior designers from Melbourne which allows one to enjoy the city's skyline in panoramic views. The menu is specially crafted with fine dishes and flavours made with integrity and passion.
Overall, we enjoyed the meal, even though portions were smaller than what we would have preferred. It is definitely on the pricier side from a portion-to-price perspective, but we conclude that the premium is assigned to the kitchen’s culinary skills and knowledge, and uniqueness of ingredients.
[Pork-free] I tak auta, cubalah ALTA! Go for a culinary adventure at Alta Cafe in Bangsar, inspired by cafe culture in Paris and Copenhagen.
Really love our oh-so-delicious scrambled egg. Fluffy and moist, putting a good texture contrast with the crusty, homemade sourdough. Topped with confit chilli peppers and salsa verde that are beyond just to brighten up the presentation, but enhancing the overall flavour with a very nice touch of mild spiciness and sourness in between.
Reasons to visit: Good quality French food, fuss-free environment, relaxing Sunday brunch, awesome music. Sunday brunch at Rendez-Vous is priced at RM89++ per person and includes the buffet and one main course
What a great adventure with a new twist of flavour for French Cuisine. Indeed it was a unique one.
Overall, it was an unquestionable satisfying and proper Haute Cuisine for us. With some emotion changing dishes like the Lamb and the Choux Pastry with Hazelnut Custard, I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a proper Traditional French Cuisine.
