Urban @ Istana Hotel

Mar 13th

Last Friday I was at Urban, Istana Hotel for dinner menu review(during lunch! how odd? oh well, mum didn’t want to sit through the traffic at night) . It was such a rainy day ! I kept having this thinking that the heaven wants to remind us about the tsunami that happened .. Everything will be okay, Japan.

1 good reason to go to Urban for dinner : Everything’s nett priced so you can skip the rough calculations before ordering.

Walnut bread on the left, Puri on the right and chicken pate in the middle.
The puri was so so good, especially when hot. Yummehhh.

Appetizers (MYR45 nett)

Smoked Duck Breast with Jasmine Tea Fragrance, Cured Foie Gras and Rocket Salad

Sake Cured Salmon served with Avocado Mash, Creme Fraiche and Tomato Basil Sorbet

Foie Gras served with Exotic Fruit Chutney, Birgrade Sauce and Golden Mango Sorbet
For some reason, the fruit chutney kind of overwhelmed the foie gras.

Bay Scallops served with Creamy Tagliatelle Leek Fondue and Chervil Nage

Main Course (MYR85 nett)

Black Cod confit with Sauteed Spinach, Rice Crackers and Soy Ginger Orange Juice

Lamb Loin with Vanilla, Date Compote, Cheese Ravioli, Rosti and Fresh Thyme Sauce

Slow Cooked Duck Leg with Mashed Potato, Black Morels and Orange Cinnamon Juice

Tuna Steak with Wasabi Espuma, Bok Choy, Tomato Relish and Glazed Pineapple

Risotto with King Prawns, Calamari, Mussels, Scallops and King Mushrooms

Gourmet Special (MYR148 nett)

Oven-baked Lobster flavoured with Mustard and Brandy served with Truffle Mash
FRESH LOBSTER, TRUFFLE MASH. <3

Time for desserts! (: (MYR35)

Strawberry Millefeuille with Vanilla Custard and Strawberry Black Pepper Coulis
Pretty to look at, a mess when I attempted to eat it.

Lime Caramel Choc and Biscut Strudel and Fresh Berries served with Hot Lime Choc
Don’t pour too much yeah? Or caramel will be stuck to your teeth. Not ideal for dates. Take note !!

Souffle with Berries served with Maple Ice Cream
Thumbs up !

The Portuguese red wine we had was so gorgeous.. I don’t remember the name of the wine but dammit, it’s a darn good wine.

HELLO! It’s a fly day and I didn’t go to school. (youdidn’tneedtoknowthat, butohwell.) Anyway, I had dinner at Cinnamon, One World Hotel today, with my lovely mum. They’re having a Seoul Good Promotion aka KOREAN FOOD, BABEH! It’s part of a buffet, so everyone could have what they feel like having. Especially with big families.. You know, the grandparents want authentic traditional food, parents want classy food, kids want junkie food.. Etc. And, you get to taste the Korean food! This is a short and simple post, but hope its worth it.

I saw it before I went into Cinnamon, and ate dinner.. And I saw it again after dinner. I’d like to think it’s been there for the whole night. It seems more magical. Haha.

They played the drums and all. It was loud, but it was good. Full of energy.

I had a beautiful dinner tonight at Sage Restaurant. Fine dining Japanese-Western Fusion Cuisine. If you think Japanese would not go with Western, think again! To be honest, it was the most satisfying dinner I had since the last time I went to Sage. All you need to make it absolutely perfect is good company and you’re set to go! Trust me, you’ll enjoy it too.

LINK!

Presenting Chef Daniel who was cooking for us!

Complimentary Bread. Yum.

Sparkling Mojito (Non Alcoholic)
Sour like ice lemon tea, but it’s sparkling, with a tingling sensation!

Tranché of Buri Fish with Akame and Avruga (RM60nett)
I think this dish was made in heaven and served to us. It was so lovely! Every inch of this dish was pure quality. Smell that gorgeous truffle oil. The raw Buri fish was just right, Akame herbs was fragrant, the salt was crystallized and crunchy. The Avruga Caviar was heavenly. And a pinch of wasabi just makes the fish fly. Buri, buri!

Capellini Pasta with Shellfish, Tongarashi Spice (RM60nett)
This dish must be created for Malaysians/Asians. It’s slightly spicy and the Capellini Pasta’s texture is a little like mee suah – very smooth. Very Malaysian-inspired, I suppose. The shellfish – prawns and fish – was the best part. Fresh and juicy. YUM!

Halfway through, we ordered garlic bread just for the heck of it.

Lime and Lemon Granité
Don’t be fooled by its appearance! It’s not just shaved ice! It’s exquisite, expensive spoonfuls of shaved ice! However, this is the perfect snow white, shaved ice with a citrusy tang, I like!

It was an open kitchen, and we sat exactly where we sat the first time we came – In front of the open kitchen, where we could eye the chefs. Hehe!

Pan-fried Hirame with Sea Scallop and Crustacean Oil (RM95nett)
My mum ordered this for the main course and I had a bite of the fish and a scallop. The fish was not bad, but I really prefer a cod fish. The scallop was nice. (:

Hirame Fish. Yummy spinach leaves.

Almond Crusted Lamb Rack with White Miso and Nasu (RM95nett)
Maybe the chef’s recommendation was better… I had it medium-rare.. He recommended medium-well done. It was too tough for me. ): But the sauteed shitake and himeji mushrooms were gorgeous! Oh, by the way, Nasu is an eggplant. It’s hiding in this picture.. It can be seen underneath the lamb rack in the picture below.

Crépe Suzette with Grand Marnier and Orange Zest (RM30nett)
The Crépe was unexplainable. You would just keep nibbling on it and when it finally finishes, you would long for more. This is a bittersweet Crépe with a dash of Grand Marnier and I kept wanting more! After finishing the crépe, I ‘cleanse’ the rich flavour with the ice cream topped with the orange zest and it made me go ‘Mmmmm…’
