Thanks for the wonderful invitation, I recently went to Hilton Kuala Lumpur for its “The Italian Experience” preview at Graze with Chef Nicola Affatati.
Graze is an authentic Italian restaurant helmed by the talented Chef Nicola Affatati. Inspired by the rich and diverse tapestry of Italian cuisine, Chef Nicola brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for the culinary arts to this exciting gastronomic venture.
Inspired from his childhood memories of cooking alongside his great grandmother, Chef Nicola Affatati from Puglia has embarked on a culinary journey that celebrates the heart of Southern Italian cuisine. Puglia, is known for its whitewashed hill towns, centuries-old farmland and hundreds of kilometers of Mediterranean coastline. Influenced by his roots, Chef Nicola’s passion for creating handmade pasta, including delectable varieties like Cavatelli and Orecchiette, stands as a tribute to the time-honored traditions handed down through generations. What sets Chef Nicola apart is his boundless creativity, elevating these time-honored classics to new heights of flavor and presentation.
“Graze is not just a restaurant; it is an embodiment of the Italian experience,” said Carmen Teo, Commercial Director of Hilton Kuala Lumpur. “It is a place where patrons can immerse themselves in the vibrant culture, exquisite flavors, and the warm hospitality of Italy. The name ‘Graze’ itself invites you to savor, to linger, and to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, just as the Italians do.”
I was truly enjoyed the menu on that night, which includes :
BURRATA : Experience the creamy delight of Burrata Cheese served with Beef Bresaola and Mesclun Salad, a true Italian classic reimagined with Chef Nicola’s signature touch.
POLPETTE : Delight in the savory goodness of Beef-Lamb Meatballs, accompanied by a rich Tomato Basil Sauce, a comforting and flavorsome dish that captures the essence of Italian comfort food.
PRIMI – CAVATELLI FRUTTI DI MARE : Handmade Cavatelli takes center stage in this seafood sensation, featuring Prawn Bisque and Shellfish, a perfect harmony of flavors from the sea.
SECONDI – MERLUZZO IN PADELLA : Atlantic Cod, Potato Cream, Bell Pepper, and Oregano-Capers Oil come together to create a symphony of flavors and textures that exemplify Italian culinary artistry.
DOLCI – CANNOLI • CREMA PASTICCIERA : Conclude your Italian feast with Homemade Cannoli filled with delectable Crema Pasticcera, a sweet ending that leaves a lasting impression.
At Graze, the culinary journey goes beyond the plate. Guests can complement their Italian dining experience with an array of delightful beverage choices, including the iconic Italian classic, the Negroni, and a carefully curated selection of wines that perfectly complement the Italian cuisine on offer. The beverage menu has been designed to elevate your dining experience to new heights.
