Il Lido, Jalan Mayang

 

 it was a night of celebration and to start it off, lets PARTAY!!!!

start it off with some bubbly...Blended strawberry with Processco

the sourish of the strawberry pairing with the champagne was lovely

don' mind having another few glass but sad to say my partner don't drink..aiksssss

complimentary from the chef: cherry tomato stuffed with mozarella cheese, saffron sauce and top with shiso

if only the amuse bouche is in the menu so i can have extra

we were serve with the black olive bread but its a let down though

the bread is tad too oily for me but its okay..forgiven by the next course

tada...pan roast scallop with roast garlic cream

scallop was cook perfectly, mildly season as the crunchy bacon is pretty salty

they are match made in heaven that night..did i make it sounds like i'm describing a pair of lover??

and not forgetting, the rustic garlic cream..they all paired well to a great start..

beef carpaccio with bed of arugula..two thumbs up for this..although the greens seems to be a bit too much

but extras are always good right..

a slice of beef + the greens + shaved parmesan + TRUFFLE = satisfaction

yes..i capsized the word TRUFFLE..i love truffle and they are certainly generous with truffle

its like as though im having truffle feast because its porcini mushroom cream with truffle oil

its the first time i had porcini cream and the aroma of porcini was just subtle

the creaminess and the hint of truffle oil just linger in your palate..i wish i don't have to share this..

but people always say; sharing is love..okay, for this time then..

next was my main course, prime beef tenderloin with truffle potatoes

the beef was cooked well although i would prefer it to be slightly less cook..and i do ask for more sauce

typical Malaysian i guess..but that's also because i love their sauce..good excuse huh

and i wouldn't push away more truffle, could i..nom nom nom..yum yum yum..

pan roasted atlantic cod..the fish was cooked just nice, flaky and juicy..

skin was crispy but quite salty..wonder did the chef have a heavy hand that day..

but i don't remember the foam as i only have my eye on the saffron sauce that paired well with the fish..still continue to nom nom nom...

so i thought the meal will be ending perfectly with of course, dessert..

we ordered two dessert being greedy even we are already full

the usual found dessert, the molten lava with vanilla ice cream..nothing to be shout for though.as it was a pretty decent one..

but the next one was just disappointing though

the brulee four ways..besides the classic brulee, the remaining three was just disappointment

the strawberry brulee was watery..the taste of the pistachio brulee is just so not my type..and the coffee brulee was practically rough..should have just make other choices..its ok..its ok...

ahh.. a complimentary cheesecake..taste better than the brulee though..haha....i felt bad saying this though..

but nevertheless it was a great night..

thanks to the chef and the service crew..

till then
