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.
Caramelized Mango with Puff Pastry and Passion Fruit Sorbet
Tiramisu with Pistachio Biscotti and Vanilla Ice Cream
Chocolate Lava Gateaux served with Chocolate Ice Cream
Yummy, yummy. Look below. ;D
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.
