Edit
One of the best things almost Jan is the annual windfall of wintertime truffles that showtime to grace our tables inward Kuala Lumpur.
This year, saw a bonus dinner hosted past times my friend CS who gifted us alongside a truffle she had bought during her travels. The large fourth dimension foodie does this yearly sojourns somewhere over the sea that oft see her coming dorsum to our metropolis bearing wickedly skilful nutrient gifts similar this prized truffle.
Babied alongside a footling dampness to endure along it from drying out (seems that endure along it inward the rice play tricks does non work), nosotros enjoyed that dark gilt inward the most odd combination - Chinese food.
That hefty slice of dark "diamond" was entrusted inward CS' blood brother aka "The Chef as well as he ingeniously came upwards alongside a pairing of steamed kurau fish lightly tossed inward an egg white sauce as well as an extremely generous sprinkling of dark truffle shavings.
Honestly they looked similar dark butterflies flitting to a greater extent than or less the fish that it was a compassion to fifty-fifty sink my teeth inward it.
A whiff of the woody aromas waft upwards to my olfactory organ that I can't resist...
Indeed, this was a vivid combination since the egg white sauce seemed to complement the truffle beautifully piece the fish was silky smoothen beingness steamed to perfection.
We every bit good enjoyed the truffle on a classic combination, tossed inward al dente pasta alongside crab meat.
I actually loved how they served it inward an onetime fashioned agency to us...the hold off staff all inward unison opening the endure past times of the lids to unveil the beautiful pasta... that reminds me of yesteryear Kuala Lumpur.
But, similar the championship says. I totally digress from its truthful intentions i.e. this year's truffle carte at the venerable dining place.
As usual, the same grouping of friends flock together to savor this particular occasion. More people came along to savor the trip as well as alongside some persuasion, Sage kept us prissy as well as cosy inward their newly renovated individual rooms for a lovely dinner.
Prized at RM260 nett per person, the carte offers an abundance of dark truffles but deport inward mind, these are non the Italian ones but their Tibetan cousins. While the far relatives are a footling lacking inward the odour subdivision (I noticed that the lighter ones seemed a chip aromatic but perhaps it was simply me), Sage made it upwards alongside the first-class training of their food.
Where is the best steak inward Kuala Lumpur? I oft instruct asked..occupational run a peril I guess.
While the encephalon processes steak houses, I oft forget that the best steak is from this place.
Only when I gustation their aged Angus tenderloin perfectly cooked, it jogs that business office of my encephalon to say, "this is THE house for steak".
I didn't actually swallow the whole steak since I ordered the pan roasted New Zealand Pink snapper (drats, double drats!) but I tasted Splashie Boy's plate as well as wished I could convey eaten all of his.
My fish alongside its sweetness sauce Perigueux as well as stuffed zucchini bloom paled inward comparing to that awesome steak.
The awesomeness of that slice of nub was only slightly overshadowed past times some other favourite: the fedellini pasta tossed inward the truffles as well as parmesan cheese.
We had kicked off alongside a lovely scallop carpaccio inward a piquant dressing as well as dusted alongside truffle. To end, for that day, nosotros had the dessert of the 24-hour interval - truffle dusted H2O ice cream alongside mango feulleteine.
Ahh...there goes some other flavor of truffles...till nosotros come across i time to a greater extent than side past times side year!
