DC Restaurant review

While typing this I've already booked another fine dining session with Stephanie for tomorrow's dinner at Bistro a Table. Going back there for the second time because that's how much I love that place, stay tuned for my blog post!

 

So this dinner was around few weeks ago I can't remember, and I have always wanted to try DC Restaurant because the ads keep popping up on my newsfeed and I've been reading good reviews about it. We booked our session at 7.30pm, and the dinner ended around near 10pm - quite a long wait in between each courses.

 

We went there right after work, and was too early so we decided to go grab a cup of tea at a nearby cafe. Forgotten the name of the cafe but the foods there looks great as well, especially the pizza! 

 

We went up on 7.30pm sharp. Greeted by the usherer, waiters and Darren himself! Recognized hiim right away because I've been reading many blog reviews with his picture in them lolol.

 

On the table: Antipasti of marinated local baby octopus - italian green olives - Bresoala air dried beef with peperoncino

I'm a huge fan of olives so yup! Loving these as usual. I remembered having something similar to these before, probably at my cousin's son birthday party - they got the entire fine dining crew to set up a fine dining party at their house. 

Chef's daily Amuse Bouche :D

Seriously forgotten what this dish was called, the name was way too long for me to remember. There's an oyster though~ The one in the middle is smoked salmon, and the one on the left should be Kakiage (fried vegetables) with caviar.

1st course: Wagyu oxtail ravioli with sea cucumber - with a light mushroom consomme  

2nd course: Wholesome - Britanny Blue lobster ; crab congee ; salted egg hollandaise : fresh bamboo shoot : Nasturrium flowers : Lobster essence

 

 

3rd course: Cold Capelini with botan ebi and abalone
Wasn't supposed to be abalone, original menu was to have Uni (sea urchin) and I was really looking forward to that sobssss. But the chef (Darren) came to us and said to replace it with some nice abalone, so well! Can't help it :)
 

4th Course: Seared foie gras with PX(Pedro Ximenez) Hibiscus; Macadamia; Beetroot; Cured Akami blue fin tuna

This was my ultimate favourite!! And it was pretty tragic when I totally forgot to take a picture of it LOL. Took a bite of it right after this selfie and still regretting till now.

 

Main Entree: Chilean Sea Bass with miso glaze - French white asparagus; Umeboshi Maltaise sauce; Grilled aus blue mussels; Pea Celeriac bamboo shoot ragout; oyster essence

Love love love the sea bass~ 

 

Stephanie's Main Entree: AOP French Anjou Pigeon - slow roasted and served medium rare: Mille Feuille of black truffle shavings & white asparagus: Lamb sweet breads: Puy Lentilles puree: Pigeon essence

Some lemon shaved ice to clean our palatte.

 



Mains: Aus lamb saddle (South Australia) crusted with porcini and Sansho pepper - slow roasted medallion (medium rare) ; glazed rainbow carrots ; Truffled potato croquettes ; sauce Bordelaise ; Crispy Kale + supplement: 50gms Ernest Soulard Muscovy Duck foie gras

MY ANOTHER ULTIMATE FAVOURITE!!! The Foie Gras here is soooo good, totally winning the game ~ Not regretting getting the extra suplement :)
 

Stephanie's Mains: DC Seafood Medley - Hokkaido Scallops: Pan seared fish of the day: Grilled local slipper lobsters: Vegetable vinaigrettes: Topped with a sea urchin emulsion

 

DC 1st Desserts: Creme fraiche sorbet with wild flower honey & honey comb crunch
This tasted average to me, feels like those from MilkCow.

DC 2nd Desserts: Coconut dessert: soft Yuba soybean skin ; pistachio pudding ; sticky rice with mungbean and macadamia ; fresh coconut ice cream

This is my favourite desserts!!!! I love coconut desserts to begin with, and I love the pistachio and mungbean too~

 Selfie while waiting. Waited in average 20-30minutes for each course lol.

Thanks a lot for the company Stephanie!

 



OOTD: Knitted cream blouse with velvet brown knee length skirt :)

 



Dinner in the Sky Malaysia

Two weeks past since my Dinner in the Sky experience at KL Tower, and I finally have the time to blog about this wonderful dinner. I was having team lunch and team bowling event that afternoon, and then rushed back to dress up for the dinner with my mum.

 

We went by taxi, and had a special encounter with this taxi driver who was pretty famous [he was the honest taxi driver who spent four hours in Petaling Steet finding the girl who left her phone in his car - I think it was popular in the news and social media]. Being drove around by a famous driver feels quite nice hahaha.

 

We took this shot once we reached the venue:

 

29th September 2015, definitely a night to remember :D

We were told to register our names, signed a non-liability letter and then get assigned to a table number. I think mine was seat number 8, a corner seat! Thereafter we get to have some complimentary beverage, we both took apple juice~

Took some photos at this backdrop while waiting for boarding, meanwhile my OOTD was a one-piece from LizLisa 2015 Autumn French Girl collection, and fur clutch from my recent Harajuku Takeshita Dori street travel.

After a while we were called by numbers and get strapped onto the chairs hahahhaa. The safety belts were pretty much secured but it sorta gave the trills since the chairs could turn.

Me getting strapped.

My mum who accompanied me for the dinner.

Crews at work! Chefs were from KL Hilton Hotel and there were some other staffs playing the musics and helped out on the safety briefings.

While waiting for the table to rise (I don't know what else to say haha), selfies! I don't know why, I felt that the selfies taken on land were all better than the ones I took on the sky =____=. Perhaps I was scared of dropping my cam/phone that my hands were shaking.

First course - Watermelon and Roma Tomato Gazpacho, Japanese Cucumber, Pacific Prawns and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Drizzle. This was served when we were lifted up slowly haha.

 

I was getting rather scared hahaha, but trying to take as much pictures as possible since this will be a lifetime experience etc.

 

Second course: Carpaccio of Organic Beetroot, King Island Goat Cheese, Toasted Hazelnut and White Balsamic. I personally liked this a lot. Love how well the cheese blending in with the beetroot.

 

We were not allowed to drop things from the sky, we may get fined or something I'm not sure about that. It took me a while to gather the courage to turn my chair (since i got the corner seat I get the most view), and shift my legs from the leg rest and leave it hanging.

 

I don't know why I find it super scary when taking this shot hahaha. We had to both turn our seats and I was worried my camera falling from my hands haha.

 



Petronas Twin Tower!

The other sky diners.

Third Course/Main: Slow Cooked Beef Fillet, Glazed Asparagus, Creamy Potato Mash and Thyme Jus. Loved the mash a lot! The beef is a little too chewy for my liking though.

Desserts: Himalaya Salted Caramel Chocolate Cremeux Tart served with Cocoa Nibs and Mix Berry Coulis. I liked this too! Love salted caramel, but my mum don't like this ><.

 

I was really glad that the haze condition that night was alright as compared to the other days. Sigh I wonder when this haze thing will be completely over.

My Favourite picture of the night!! It took me quite a while to adjust the angle to see the skyline behind us (since I don't really dare to look at stare behind).

Overall, I enjoyed this dinner a lot, not too much about the food since I've definitely tasted better, but I love trying out new things with my mum and spending time with her. I kinda have fear of heights (I can't stand being in the ferriswheel, cable cars etc although am trying to overcome it), so this dinner was really a whole new experience for me. We got to chat around with the other diners too! I wish we have more of these sorts of stuff coming up in Malaysia, more theme cafes too :D.

 

Gonna end this post with a picture of KL Tower taken after our dinner. See you guys soon!
