*****
Soft in texture and not too overwhelm sweet, this cinnamon raisin Valentine’s Artisanal Special was coated with caramel peanut sauce and crushed peanuts on top, one of the warm creations prepared by the bakers at G-Tower Kuala Lumpur.
*****
Tsarskaya, a French oyster, was served before we had the appetizer. Artistically plated with only strawberry, mango and passion fruit pearls that made from cold gel extrusion method placed on top, diner can able to indulge the freshness of seawater in this juicy plump Tsarskaya, along with Konbu shoyu, a Japanese seaweed soy sauce, which delightfully brought out the natural sweetness of oyster itself.
*****
Served together with Asian slaw and yolk carpaccio, I love the meaty chewiness of this poached taste-tempting flavorful Brittany Blue lobster. Chef paired it with crunchy woodear to give it a nice contrast of texture.
*****
Chef showcased again his creativeness in this savory Cauliflower Veloute with own-made atari miso. The roasted cauliflower with sriracha, a Thai chilli paste, and cauliflower cous cous gave the creamy soup a depth of flavor and texture, bringing the simplicity of cauliflower to another level.
*****
Prepared in Goulash style with cumin, tomato paste and a pinch of paprika for flavoring, chef slow braised the Wagyu Beef Ribs in low heat for 72 hours until the meat was so soft in texture. Paired with spring onion potato mash and crunchy French beans, it was truly a red meat dish that will easily capture your heart.
*****
To satisfy the craving palate for fish, diner can choose this local influenced seared Barramundi stuffed with own-made Otak-otak, and served together with seasonal vegetables and San Marzano coulis, a thick sauce made from Italy’s tomatoes, which complement the dish well with its enticing natural sweetness.
*****
Our Valentine’s meal closed with the perfect ending of this Dark Chocolate Mousse topped with creamy brown butter ice cream. Chef also placed some brown butter powder and brown milk solid around the chocolate mousse to create a medley of different textures and flavors when you scooped everything in one mouthful bite. Love the detailedness of this dessert after hearing chef explained the complexity of the preparation, and I did enjoy it more after knowing the amount of works that chef had poured in it.
