Foodie Girl here.
Your one and only source into the Scandalous Appetite of KL's elite.
Spotted:
Double C were out on a New Year's Dinner meeting up their elite acquaintances:
KB and CG.
The Sugar was back from the country that has reached about -8 by now (yes.. it's UK) with
the Bean, but Bean skipped dinner.
A came with her.
Pause.
I am getting confused myself with all the alphabets. Let's use names. Great. I failed imitating Gossip Girl badly. Let's not attempt it again.
Ok. To keep it simple.
We planned a fine dining dinner at Max on New Year's Day, intending to celebrate Chris's and Aiwei's Birthday as well, which turned out really well as we enjoyed the food, the homey ambiance as well as each others company; gossiping and made fun with lame jokes.
Max. Who has never heard of it? We're pretty sure almost no one will hands up.
Used to be known as Max! Kitchen &Wines nestled around Tengkat Tong Shin, they are now relocated to iHaus; a German Interior Showhaus, a bungalow that haus international brand names in furniture. They have ample parking space for patrons & a large garden with really green grass.
It's my sideline when it comes to elaborating reasons.
Reasons behind the Merriment!
#1 Max @ iHaus
Expect to feel pioneering upon entering the iHaus, as you'll be greeted by a dining room filled with different interior settings, let it be furnitures and home decos. There was also sections of living room with different contemporary sofa seats and furnitures potraying a prevailing fixtures fashion of modern days like today.
#2 Fine Dining - although Chris's wallet was screaming 'Ouch!'
Elites do this often. We self-declared we are. Although it's the name Elite that we love.
We tried the Max’s Menu Degustation for RM120 per pax, that came with a set of 3 starters, a main course, a dessert and a glass of Itallian Batasiolo Cascine Prosecco. This 5 course tasting menu is created by their daily availability of the fresh ingredients, and the starters were all based on chef's recommendations.
Needless to say, we were very satisfied.
We might be elites with scandoulous appetite. But there's always a limit. So we decided not to waste food and ordered 3 Max’s Menu Degustation along with 3 other ala cartes.
Complimentary bread
Let's start off with some Starters shall we?
the Main Courses:
Pan Seared Sea Scallops and King Prawn Broccollini Greens with Thyme – Chicken Reduction
Shiraz Braised Wagyu Beef Cheeks in Red Wine Sauce with Sautéed Seasonal Greens
Hillside Farm Lamb Cutlets, char broiled on Artichoke Barigoule and Garlic Gonfit
Croustillant of Braised Rabbit Shoulder with Frilled Loin Glazed Zucchini and a Sweet Sherry Reduction
Rosemary Braised Duck Leg and Hickory Smoked Duck Breast with Persillade Sauce and Cannellini Bean Casserole
Dessert:
Rich Creamy Cheese Cake adorned with blackberries, blueberries and strawberry with a scoop of alcoholic sorbet
Green Tea with Red Bean Cake from San Terri
#3 Birthdays
They said Capricorns are practical, prudent, ambitious, disciplined, patient and careful, humorous and reserved.
Their presents were also very practical and useful.
#4 Being self-claimed elites. We're best friends.
Verdict: Food was great, although we thought that their scallops could be tastier. Worth visiting :)
One's image can sit enthroned among the bustle of this threatless realm, being king in your own domain, that's what people comsidered to be superior in a society usually feel and do. The elites.
We're all elites in our own way.
Just remember to strive for it and seek opportunity. Not the other way round.
And who am I?
That's another secret I'll never tell.
You know you love me.
