In the
magazine, you’ll be able to know the prices of the the dishes. The
dishes are priced in terms of Gastro Dollars, and these can be
purchased in booklets. There will be 10 dollars in each booklet, and the price
per booklet is RM50.
As I have tried most of the restaurants yesterday, I decided to
compile the Eating Guide for those who will be visiting this weekend. Here are
my top favourite restaurants to try and sample the dishes from! Note, the RED NUMBER in the
picture below, shows the Gastro Dollars required for each dish. :)
DC.Restaurant by Darren Chin
My favourite restaurant of them all, is DC Restaurant! This is
mainly because there were one of the few ones that actually cooked on the spot.
So you get to eat these dishes served fresh in front of you. I love the
Scallops with a Fine Herb Sauce and Braised Angus Beef
Short Rib with Shaved Black Summer Truffle. If you are up for a
surprise too, then try the Tempura of Courgette flowers from Cameron
Highlands. There is a something more than just fried tempura
vegetables. :)
Neroteca
Neroteca have always been Calvin’s favourite Italian
restaurant, but I have only dined there once. This time around, we had the
chance to try more of their dishes. I loved the Mare & Monti,
which is a platter of seafood (there’s scallops, mussels and squids!)
served on a bed of mashed potatoes! The Agnello “Caccio e Ovo”,
is medium well done beef steak which is sliced thinly, and served with
marinated eggs on a bed of rockets!
Marini’s on 57
Marini’s on 57 is next on my list because I
absolutely loved the Assorted Cheese with Condiments. They have
the Truflle Cheese, which if you love truffle, you’ll fall in love with this. I
never knew of this, and now I’m craving for more as I type this now. Please do
try this, because this will blow your mind! The Cannaroli Risotto with
Fresh Autumn Mushrooms and the Monte Verde Smoked Duck, Baby
Tomatoes and Truffle, is a delicious rich blend of complimenting
flavours.
e18hteen
This restaurant from Genting Highlands, comes in next with the
most amazing soup I have tasted. The Double-boiled Giant Grouper with
Cili Padi Soup, it’s yummy with a hint of spicy-ness, which I was told
comes more from a pepper soup base actually. The grouper slices is smooth too,
and you’ll find straw mushrooms and salted vegetables in the soup too.
YUMMY!
Southern Rock Seafood
Actually, I didn’t try any of the dishes except the freshly shucked oysters! Southern Rock Seafood actually supplies their oysters to majority of the restaurants in Malaysia. The oysters were very fresh and delicious, so much so that Calvin and I had a dozen for just ourselves. Too yummy! So do give it a try when you’re there. :)
Super Gourmet Safari at the Theatre of Cuisines
So, what are you waiting for? Hurry on over to Level 14 of
Berjaya Times Square and head to the Super Gourmet Safari at the Theatre of
