Don’t jump straight for the turkey! Add some greens before you start your Christmas feast with some of these healthy & delicious traditional salads. My personal favorite was the ham cobb salad.

Whole Baked Salmon

If you’re looking for something lighter, the salmon was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the salads. It was simply inviting just looking at it, you’d catch yourself going for two or three rounds.

Chicken Galantine

Another classic holiday dish! The stuffing was quite tasteful and plated invitingly. Its a definite must have on your Christmas feast.

Honey Glazed Spiced Brine Roast Turkey stuffed with Granny Smith Apple & Chestnut

Turkey was beautifully brine to assures the moisture was there and pretty flavorful with a dash of turkey gravy. I’ve got the admit stuffing was quite moist it almost feels like it came from inside of the turkey.

Prime Rib served with Brussels Sprouts & Roast Tomatoes

It was spectacular! I was actually surprised how unbelievably juicy, tender and full of flavors with a kick of garlic and herbs to it with some Brussels sprouts and roasted tomatoes to complement the dish. I’d highly recommend this!

Rustic Baked Whole Sea Bass with Lemon

Pleasingly baked, with a hint of zesty flavors from the lemon. I love how the fish was lightly salted which you can get a better taste of the bold fresh flavors in the sea bass. Another dish I’d recommend!

PNP Restaurant – Japanese Cuisine Artistry at Faber Imperial Court

A symphony of art, culture & epicurean delights.

Jyo Nigiri-zushi 7 Shu – 7 Types of Special Hand-made Sushi (RM 110)

People and People (PNP) offers traditional Japanese carefully prepared by a renowned chef to transform each dish with creative flair in his choice of ingredients and selective cuts of the finest produce. The spiritual essence of traditional Japanese cuisine is fully preserved yet enhanced with his maestro touch.

Personally I’m never a huge fan of eating raw fish and seafood but I was convinced by the chef’s professionalism and food quality to give a try. Needless to say I helped myself with a few pieces and indulged it. One of the nigiri sushi I’ve got to highlight is the soyu maguro, tuna marinated overnight in soy sauce giving it a whole different level.

Take Sashimi 5 Shu – 5 Types of Fresh Raw Fish (RM 110)

The chef also incorporate aesthetic elements of arrangement and presentation as practiced in Ikebana (Art of flower arrangement) to produce a 5-Star presentation.

Ultimately, guests will revel in a dining experience that is a feast fit for a king. I mean, how often do you see sushi beautifully plated like that?😍😍

Salmon Aburi Maki – Torched Salmon Roll (RM 38)

This was one of the few memorable dishes I had throughout dining here, I really enjoyed the lightly charred flavors on the salmon. Highly recommended!💖

Kani Chawan Mushi – Crab Steamed Egg Custard (RM 18)

Generous amount of crab meat topped on the creamy egg custard. The crab meat was simply sensational and barely rubbery. I could help myself with another one or two!

Karai Kasen Udon – Spicy Seafood Udon Thick Wheat Noodles (RM 35)

Perfect dish to warm your insides! Obsess with the chewy udon noodles soaked in the rich flavorful spicy broth. It wasn’t too spicy for me, so I had it all bottoms up.😋 Everything about this dish was so spectacular, another highly recommended dish.🍜

Kurogama Ice – Black Sesame Ice Cream (RM 12)

Green tea ice cream is overrated and almost everywhere but finding REALLY GOOD black sesame ice cream is tougher. Nutty richness of the black sesame was intensely decadent. It wasn’t too sweet and the red bean paste complemented the ice cream admirably.

Yuzu Sorbet – Citrus Fruit Sorbet (RM 12)

Simply refreshing and delightful yuzu sorbet that refreshes the palate after a heavy meal. It was so irresistibly tasty to have with citrusy-floral essence of the fruit.

Mochi Ice – Japanese Mochi Ice Cream (RM 15)

Soft chewy mochi bursting with black sesame ice cream inside! If you’d like to have black sesame with some texture then you should totally give this a try.

Chi-zu Stikku Ice – Cheese Stick Ice Cream (RM 18)

By far my favorite dessert here! Thinly shelled cheesy-licious ice cream. It was like having cheesecake in one bite: creamy, rich and savory.❤

At PNP Japanese Cuisine Artistry, they elevate the joy of fine Japanese dining to new heights of passion with a creative approach. Visually, the dishes will be a feast for the eyes and food for the soul.

Psst! There will be an exclusive group of traditional Japanese dancers who will provide twice nightly performances on weekends. This is the first restaurant in Malaysia to host this!

Dim Sum at Celestial Court, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel

We recently visited the newly revamped Celestial Court at Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur for some delectable brunch we’ve been craving for awhile.

Dim Sum Chef Ken, never fails to tantalize the taste buds. Whether it is the simplest of Cantonese cuisine, using a harmony of ingredients and the freshest product, or a gourmet of Cantonese delights with seasonal delicacies where one can look forward to a completely divine meal.

明炉烤特色酿鸡肉干 Grilled Stuffed Honey Glazed Dried Chicken Meat with Seafood Mousse served with “Man Tou” | RM10/piece

This was one of the few most notable dish we’ve had in the restaurant. The bakkwa was definitely worth the devotion from its appearance to taste and paired beautifully with the subtle Seafood Mousse along with the ‘Man Tou’ to balance the umami.

Note: Minimum order of 2 pieces!

咸水角 “Ham Sui Kok “Glutinous Rice Dumplings with Minced Chicken | RM18

These golden beauties has just the right balance of sweetness from the glutinous rice and savory from the minced chicken. No doubt a treat that everyone craves while having dim sum.

黄金咸蛋虾球 Prawn Paste Ball with Bitter Gourd in Salted Egg Yolk and Pumpkin Sauce | RM22

I was truly obsessed with the instant oomph of salted egg yolk and pumpkin sauce along with the fresh crunchy prawn in my mouth. It was just so addictive! Definitely worth the hype.

天宝阁烧卖 Signature Prawn and Chicken Siew Mai | RM22

The MUST HAVE on every diner’s table. As a sucker for Siew Mai, I just want to hog this all to myself. You could taste how fresh the chicken and prawn were. Simply yum!

黑蒜鳗鱼饺 Seafood and Black Garlic Dumpling Topped with Savory Unagi | RM28

As for the unagi lovers out there, you’ll be awed by this! I love how the black garlic wasn’t too pungent. Usually I’m not much of a fan for eel dishes but this was exceptional.

烟熏三文鱼千丝卷 Golden Fried Smoked Salmon Kataifi Roll with Seafood Mousse and Avocado served with Mix Fruit Salad | RM25

Satisfying crunch from the golden kataifi rolls locking the salmon’s moisture and barely overcooked. Its refreshing how its served with some fruit salad resting at the bottom of the salmon kataifi roll, Look at the amount of roes topped on it tho!😍

香煎泡菜锅贴 Pan Fried Dumpling with Chicken, Shrimp and Kimchi | RM18

Versatile juicy, crispy dumplings with meat and veggies pan-fried to golden perfection. Words can’t express my fillings for you.😋

A photo with Chef Ken Liew (left) & Chef Ho Boon (right)

It was nice catching up with the two chefs behind the wonderful Celestial Court’s kitchen. I totally understand why the restaurant gets really packed on weekends because everyone is obsess with their Imperial Dim Sum Brunch for RM138 nett only! You guys should check out their ala carte menu as well! I’ll publish it real soon.

The Stars of Culinary at Nook shine this August at Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral

This August, Nook at Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral will give center stage to 5 of its chefs, each with their own specialty dishes to be featured on the buffet line! Proclamations of “Merdeka” are often heard nationwide this August as it is our Independence Day on 31st August but as fellow Malaysians regardless what the occasion is, it is not a celebration without food.

The team of 5 chefs include, 36 years-old Mohd Haffizi Bin Aledul Ginani, known to all as Chef Fizi. He is the man in charge of the appetizers who sets one’s heart on their fellow diners appetite at Nook.

Gado-gado

The peanut sauce simply tantalizes my taste buds. As simple as this salad may look or sound, it was definitely a lip-smacking dish to begin with.

Asian Chicken Noodle Salad

Refreshing, light and healthy dish, I love how the noodles are not thoroughly cooked giving it some nice light crunch to it, Chicken was well-marinated and really garlicky!

Shrimp with Pomelo & Watercress Salad

Shrimp matches perfectly with bittersweet citrus fruit, making it such a lively appetiser to begin with. It reminded me a lot like the Yam Som-O I’ve had during my trip to Thailand.

The second chef to be featured for the month will be Chef Muhammad Hafiz Bin Izham, a 29-years old from Pahang who specializes in Malay cuisine. He will be serving up his specialty dishes as per below!

Fried Crispy Sea Bass with Green Curry Gravy

A simple rich, delicious and creamy green curry with sea bass was bursting with bright, bold flavors. You’ll catch yourself scooping for more green curry topped on a hearty bowl of rice.

Spiced Eel Soup

Warm and filling perfect for rainy weathers, this soup was truly heart yet so flavorful. The eel has a really nice texture to it and wasn’t too chewy.

Gulai Pisang Muda

One of the few dishes that got everyone’s head turning when served. Just the look on the rich and sweet coconut gravy makes one mouth-watered.

The Chinese cuisine on the buffet will be prepared by the hands of Chef Emmanuel Chang Lin Con, a 32-years old who hails from Malacca.

Kam Heong Chicken with Dried Chili

Fragrantly distinctive flavors from the sauce paired perfectly with the lightly crisp chicken. The aroma itself yearning for a bite.

Butter Prawn with Oats

One of the all-time favorite dish at the buffet counter, this dish is no stranger to Nook’s regular diners. The prawns were crunchy, juicy and evenly coated with oats.

Wok-fried Mussels with Black Bean Gravy

Beautifully wok-fried with dried chilies giving some nice heat to it. Mussels were really fresh and complemented the rich, fragrant black bean gravy really well.

Nook’s buffet will be also feature a spread of Western and Fusion dishes by their Sous Chef, Ahmed Zaki bin Harun, the maestro of fusion cooking will be plating up a variety of dishes.

Braised Chicken Rendang Pasta

This ultimate fusion dish, full of ri1ch and warming flavors will definitely have you grabbing for more. Chef Zaki does not jokes around when it comes to his fusion dishes.

Daging Masak Hitam

This rather famous ambrosial Malay dish was one of a kind. The beef was braised till soft and tender complementing the flavorsome dark sweet sauce perfectly. What’s missing right here is a bowl of rice!

Quattro Formaggi Pizza

Inspired from his days when Chef Zaki was based at Southern Italy, this classic four cheese pizza has to be one of the most wonderful combinations of bread and cheese imaginable.

No buffet is ever complete without a dessert spread. On the dessert bar, you’ll find delectable creations of Chef Zahrin Mohamad bin Madzlan.

Bubur Som Som

This local dessert was inspired by Chef Zahrin’s mother. A little drizzle of Gula Melaka to complement the coconut rice flour porridge with some freshly diced jackfruit. Perfect to have after a heavy feast!

Brownie Tower

And what’s a feast without brownie tower!

Pandan Tiramisu in a Coffee Cup

Decadent little tiramisu with a twist of local ingredient bursting with a shot of espresso.

Nook’s buffet dinner is priced at RM108 nett per adult and RM54 nett per child for kids aged between 6 to 12-years old on Sundays to Thursdays.

The whole lamb has been marinated overnight then carefully and slowly roasted for hours in the oven. Aromatic, tender and moist meat to be paired with Nasi Minyak Jagung.

Bubur Lambuk Beratur

They’ll also be featuring the all-time favorites such as Nasi Ayam & Itik. Warung Satay, the must-have porridge dish at any Ramadan feast, the Bubur Lambuk Beratur.

The chicken tasted really homely you wouldn’t believe how delicious and satisfying this dish was.

Roasted Duck was absolutely flavorful and moist. What I love about the duck was the fact that the skin was barely chewy and simply delicious.

Their satays has always been my favorite in their buffets. They’ve marinated the both chicken and beef thoroughly it gets really addicting after a few skewers. Grab the chicken satays first because it runs out real quick!🤭🤭

As you know Bubur Lambuk is a quintessential porridge meal especially during the month of Ramadan that makes it such a hearty meal. I was hooked with it and the condiments make it even better. Salted egg is life.

Not to mention their special drinks stall with local favorites, there’s going to be Air Bandung, Calamansi, Teh Tarik, Nescafe Tarik, Kopi Hang Tuah, Sugar Cane Juice, Date Juice and more.

The Slow Braised Beef Rendang, Nook’s Signature for every Ramadan, will be taking center stage at the Carving Station on the buffet line. Slow cooked for over 7 hours and seasoned generously with traditional Asian spices of salt, pepper, cinnamon and star anise.

Diners will be in for a succulent treat with this specially prepared rendang dish which will be available daily on the buffet spread for Ramadan. Definitely won’t be crispy.

Tauhu Sumbat

Gado-Gado

Ulam-Ulaman

Can’t get enough of all these local favorite dishes. You’ve definitely got to try their Tauhu Sumbat and Gado-Gado! Drizzle the tofu with a guilty amount of peanut sauce and you’ll be hooked on this. Same goes with the Gado-Gado, nothing better than having a bowl of fresh vegetables with copious amounts of peanut sauce.

Murtabak

Got to love the live station for the Murtabak & Roti Canai. Crispy roti with delicious curry infused meat stuffing. Scrumptious!

Ending the meal with some delectable dessert dishes with some Malaysian favorites is a must.

Their Ais Batu Campur Station is the best part of their dessert counter!

ARTEASTRY at TRACE Restaurant & Bar, Element Kuala Lumpur

art.tea.pastry

Last weekend, I’ve had an “artciting” afternoon tea and it was truly entertaining to watch some artsy chef turning half of our table into a whole new level of delectable piece of dessert-art while after having some scrumptious savoury bites of their latest menu.

As it is still one of the latest hotel in the city center and not everyone may have heard of it yet, the restaurant is situated 40 floors above the ground in Element Kuala Lumpur and it is also the latest sky dining venue in town that offers a stunning bird’s eye view of the city. The restaurant offers a delectable variety of food options – from healthy western-fusion delights to the coolest cocktail trends in town.

For video, click here.

The savoury platter made its way with a dramatic entrance when it was placed on the table as the dry ice smokes its way around. The platter comes with 5 types of savoury bites and it looks as good as it taste!

Beef Mushroom Herbs Croquettes has a beautiful golden crunchy shell and the fillings were moist as you get some nice hints of minced mushrooms and beef.

Smoked Turkey Breast in Paris Brest was something fresh as Paris Brest are often served as a dessert stuffed with mousseline cream. Love love love.

Soy Glazed Portobello Focaccia would be loved by many vegetarian diners! I really love how the mushrooms were diced just the right size so you could get some good munch of it and distinctive flavors.

Red Pepper Tomato Macaroon was bursts with bright summer flavor. I know Malaysia is all-summer but you get what I mean! It was again something unique and fresh giving your taste buds some curiosity.

Salmon Apple Avocado in Basil Cone was one of a kind. This was actually one of my favorite among the five.

And what’s afternoon tea without scones? They’re light, airy and just the right amount of crusty surface which makes these scones absolutely perfect. The chocolate spread was delicious and Chantilly cream melts in your mouth instantly.

When it comes to their dessert, ‘Into The Forest’ was prepared by Chef Amelia which takes about 5 minutes to get the masterpiece done.

For video, click here.😅

Voila! You know its godlike when the sun was shining in directly on this miraculous edible masterpiece and its just too good to be eaten. This piece of art contains Heavy Brownie, Toasted Marshmallows, Chlorophyll Crumble, Chocolate Soil, Mango Chutney, Fresh Strawberries and Light Cream. 

I love how the chocolate wasn’t too sweet which complemented the rest of the sweeter elements on this piece and the portion was just right. Not too much, not too little.

This afternoon tea would be the perfect venue for birthdays, couples and ‘girls catching up session’ as it is quiet and you’ve got your own little private space.

The price is RM 128 nett for 2 persons serving only on weekends and public holidays at 1 PM to 5 PM. Click here for more of TRACE’s dining offers or here for what’s serving in their restaurant!

Prego’s Sunday BUBBaLICIOUS at The Westin Kuala Lumpur

Raise your glass…It’s Bubbalicious time! Indulge in a Sunday Brunch like no other. Here you will be enjoying a combination of live grill and cooking stations, seafood and antipasto buffet plus pass around delights so you can relax and take your Sundays to Bubbalicious heights.

Anyways, let’s browse through what they’re serving!

Some freshly baked loaves and rolls to be paired with some Italian cheese and perhaps some cold cuts.

Prego is an absolute heaven for appetizer and starter lovers. There’s just a long spread of it!

My favorite dish from the counter has to be the Caprese Salad.
As tempting as it makes you want to dive into a little of each, you can’t miss their Caesar Salad live station!

I really enjoyed the salad but my first spoon was a little too salty as I wasn’t looking and got myself a huge chunk of anchovy.😁

The salad may have been an accident but the Zucchini Soup was a little too salty.

These were these few dishes from the carving station outside of the restaurant. The whole roast chicken was scrumptious!
Pizzas and pastas were then brought around tables which was literally the best part of the brunch!

Pizzas always win but it was a little disappointing when they only baked 2 pizzas throughout the brunch. I really enjoyed the texture of the pizza dough and the toppings. The vegetarian pizza was the best! However the Chicken Alfredo and Penne Arrabbiata was stone cold. It would’ve be pleasant if it was at the right temperature.

The Westin Kuala Lumpur should really consider having a dessert buffet because everything was spectacular! Honestly. I’ve enjoyed their desserts and pizzas the most throughout the brunch.

Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. Here’s the price:

Every Sunday 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM

FOOD & CHAMPAGNE PACKAGE
RM375nett per person
Includes free flow of Moët and Chandon champagne, red and white wine, draught beer, soft drinks and chilled juices.

FOOD & BEVERAGE PACKAGE
RM275nett per person
Includes free flow of Sparkling, red and white wine, draught beer, soft drinks and chilled juices.

FOOD ONLY PACKAGE
RM175nett per person

Prego welcomes families with free access to Westin Kids Club (Level 4) whilst dining.
