It was not an intentionally planned meal, but it turned out wonderful for me and my mom, and Cs too.
The Malaysian International Gourmet Festival @ Minori, Royal Bintang
The Full Course Menu - RM 288 ++ per serving
My mom and I ordered a set to share.
The course started with UMESHU COCKTAIL, a very good quality umeshu with a tad of sweetness. Very Very Nice! NOT ENOUGH to drink!
2nd Dish was the Cold Chawanmushi with Abalones, Sea Urchin & Fresh Wasabi
This is definitely a very delicate Chawanmushi I ever tasted.
The smoothness of the egg pudding and the freshness of sea urchins were indeed impressive. Abalone Slices were chewy but breaking easily with a sweetness of its juice. Sea Urchins were never something that I would order, but this top quality seafood that Minori served that day had introduced me the exquisite taste of Sea Urchin; melt in the mouth with firm texture.
Appetizer : Tomato, Lotus slice & Sweet Bean in Yuzu Dressing.
Clean & Clear. Simple & Nice!
Sashimi Starter
Chutoro, Amberjack, Flat Fish, Salmon & Sweet Shrimp.
Don't ask me HOW GOOD they were because I am already salivating NOW!
So fresh, so sweet, dissolve gradually after a few chews. REALLY SUPERB!
Clear Soup with Mushroom, Grouper, Carrot, Mitsuba Leaf, Raddish, Japanese Lime. This soup was quite normal, but Big C loved it so much that she finished the soup, and My Mom & I only got to taste a small spoon of it.
Very refreshing Soup! Nice! Yum Yum!
Grilled Salmon, Grilled King Crab, Taro, Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, Capsicum, Mushrooms,Foiegras Ponzu, Gingko, Rice Corn.
Everything was delicious, especially the Foiegras, mm~~
Love the Japanese Taro too!!!!
Grilled Wagyu with Eggplants & Leek.
Do I need to tell you more???!!! Seriously, this portion is NOT ENOUGH for 2!
It was so juicy and not RAW at all. Love how the chef lightly marinated the beef thus the wagyu remained its freshness and juice. No overpowering issues here.
Oh My God~~!!! Delish! So succulent & heavenly.
Yuzu Sorbet
Refreshing - Ready to proceed with the next course with a clean tongue :)
Fried Minced Shrimp with Lemon Udon Sauce.
Uncomplicated, fresh & aromatic.
Sushi Meal - Toro, Scallops, Ikura, Konbu Shoyu Gel & Spring Onion.
Wow!!!!! This dish is served cold, really cold.
But it was MARVELOUS! A good combination of all, the Konbu Shoyu Gel was not engrossing at first, but spoons after spoons with the great combination of the sushi, it was REALLY good! I am so hungry now! Geezzz..
Dessert : Melon Yogurt Jelly & Fruits : Grapes & Melons.
None of us got excited when the last course was served. Hahaha...
Not pretty & interesting enough for us to WOW. BUT!!!!!! Hold There.
The Yogurt Jelly was actually very special! Flavour was mild but just the right texture & taste to end the EXQUISITE MEAL of the night.
If you asked me if it worth RM288 ++! Oh! Yes! It's CHEAP!
Considering the ingredients used & freshness of the Wagyu and seafoods, you won't get it anywhere else at this price.
Perhaps we were lucky that night, there were special guests and media reviews. So, I guess it would be the BEST of the BEST!!! Hahaha...Lucky!
