This eggy rice bowl came quite late in the course meal, and unfortunately to a fast-filling belly. The beef doused in yolk was excellent, thinly sliced yet thick in flavour. Truffle slices added a nice touch, though the aroma did feel a little underwhelming.
A pretty sizeable slab of foie gras, nicely cooked to have all of its fatty goodness melt in your mouth. To cut through the richness, have it with the dollops of plum and that crunchy biscotti.
Loved this one for how clean the flavours are. Sweet pear with slightly ever so zesty gelee and creamy vanilla ice cream. Perfect if you prefer a mild dessert to pair with subtler Japanese flavours.
While this is a stunning dish, and the sashimi sufficiently fresh and beautifully cut, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the very delicate live lobster and the slightly rigid abalone. Would recommend going for the simpler and more flavourful cuts instead!
Crisp, sugary meringue with a dollop of cream, chunky sweet mango and zesty passion fruit. There’s a lot happening in this deceptively simple dessert, and refreshingly so! A nice, clean way to cleanse the palate after the multi-course meal.
Fresh, skillfully put together cuts with just the right amount of rice. Especially enjoyed the subtle hamachi and earthier unagi with a sweet soy finish.
Rich, sweet and silky lobster bisque with a good bite of lobster bits! Would definitely recommend ordering this to go with a white wine or champagne.
Not very well-photographed, but the Dark Knight’s a winner. Doubling down on that fried cheddar crisp is genius, and the bacon bits are easier to bite into (as compared to the Spidey’s bacon strips). Also enjoyed the signature cocktail sauce in the burger — sweet-chilli and mayo with a little heat!
Had this with the beef patty with a beautiful sear on the sides, which I much preferred over the paler pork.
Spades Burger, or what I like to call the Penang equivalent of myBurgerlab, is now open in SS15! Have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of burgers here. Their upside? Pork. Lots of it.
The Spidey features fried bacon strips, fried cheddar, patty (pork, beef or fried chic) and a BBQ-cheese sauce. Nice textures between the fluffy bun, meaty patty and the crispy bacon and cheddar.
One of the first places I know of in KL to do Hokkaido style soup curry. Curee and its food didn’t feel 100% Japanese, but there’s definitely merit in the way they strive to be. The basic set comes with plenty of veggies and I particularly liked that pumpkin slice buried deep beneath, soaking up all that soup.
The fried chicken reminded me of a mamak-style seasoning, although coincidentally that also goes well with curry!
Before you write this off as an ordinary waffle with okonomiyaki toppings, this was actually an okonomiyaki waffle! Cleverly, the batter is whipped with shredded cabbage, then toasted into an extra crunchy waffle. On top goes bonito flakes, mayonnaise and sweet-saltish okonomiyaki.
