For this Chinese New Year festival celebration, the chef uses ingredients like beetroot, and cherry to impart a reddish-brown hue to the dishes. The meal began with three appetizers:

Japanese Royal Miyagi Oyster
The huge oyster is just plain delicious – fresh, firm and juicy, and it had us revelling in with slightly sour hot flavours of Thai seafood sauce, and briny taste of the expensive beluga caviar. Priced at RM25 each, the oyster with an explosion of complex flavors is definitely worth a try.

Australia Abalone & Gold
The abalone delivered a clean flavour and the al dente squid ink pasta was enjoyable with the accompanying beet root sauce. The red color of the beetroot sauce beautifully matches the pasta besides pleasing with a refreshing taste.

Seared Foie Gras ‘Rougie’
The buttery seared foie gras was well accompanied by the sweet and sour elements of fruits – red cherry sauce and pieces of caramelized apple.

With appetites whetted, we moved on to the smooth creamy texture soup.

For the mains, the first to arrive to the table was the seafood dish of French Cod Loin – a serving of cod fish complemented with Asari clams and chorizo. The piece of cod was cook just right, still moist, retaining the sweetness of the fish. The other two were the meat dishes – Whole Free Range Organic Chicken, and the Spanish Iberico Pork. The latter is a wholesome dish which focus on the gamey flavors and texture of the meat.

From the SHARING DISHES, we had the Seafood Paella (pre-order a day in advance). The chef serves up the delicacy with snow crab leg, mussels, clams, and prawns. Prepared al dente, the rice with a depth of seafood flavor was a pleasure to savor. When it comes to eating the crab, we let loose our dining etiquette, and just dig right in with our fingers.

The serving for the Seafood Paella is portioned for two person and is priced at RM268.
