Enak KL Feast Village Starhill Gallery New Menu 2018

ENAK KL AT FEAST VILLAGE STARHILL GALLERY CELEBRATES ITS REOPENING IN A NEW LOCATION WITH A REFRESHED MENU

In celebration of its 13th anniversary this year, Enak KL is reopening its doors in a new location within Feast Village Starhill Gallery, in the heart of Bukit Bintang, with a promise to serve authentic Malay cuisine through its thoughtfully curated menu. 

The well-established modern Malay restaurant is now centrally located in Feast Village, making it even more accessible to guests. Guests can once again relish in harmoniously balanced flavours that are distinctively Malay.

In keeping with Enak’s signature of serving only traditional Malay flavours, the chefs continue to pay homage to their culinary forefathers while still paying attention to the intricacies of food presentation. 

The new Enak continues to deliver heartwarming classics of Malay cuisine through the skilled and long-time chef Rani bin Ghazali. Chef Rani has been an integral part of the Enak kitchen from the very beginning, having developed his love for all things traditional on his mother’s knee. Chef Rani brings to the table recipes that he grew up on and learned all about the treasures of traditional Malay cuisine.

The menu stays true to its essence with an emphasis on keeping the Malay flavours simple, delicious yet authentic. The recipes will not just continue to revolve around age-old ones that have been passed down through the generations but also feature a new and exciting selection to explore.

In this, ever-popular dishes such as Sup Ekor and Ikan Asam Pedas keep their place on the menu. They are joined by exquisite new flavours in dishes such as the kerabu jambu air ikan bilis, traditionally served at weddings and family celebrations in the north of Malaysia. 

The pièce de résistance is the newly introduced Bakar section of the menu, which features fresh fish grilled over an open coal grill, and wrapped in banana leaf with a terutup glaze or simply seasoned with salt and pepper. 

The Bakar dishes come with a choice of no less than four types of sambal – Air Assam Jawa, Kicap Cili Padi, Sambal Belacan and Sambal Hijau. 

Another new addition to the à la carte menu is the serawa durian – the king of fruits simmered gently in coconut milk and palm sugar and paired with steamed glutinous rice and roti jala. 

Guests can expect to dine in comfort enveloped by the warmth of the earth tones and textures that adorn Enak, accompanied by the flavourful and familiar aroma that fills the air. 

Bringing to bear years of winning awards and rave reviews, such as Malaysia’s Best Restaurants by Malaysia Tatler, Time Out Kuala Lumpur Food Awards, ranked No. 4 in both CNNGo.com’s Top 20 Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur and Hotels.com’s Top 10 Restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, and being featured on the Asian Food Channel, the new Enak KL promises an unforgettable dining experience for all on every occasion. 

Enak KL is open daily for lunch from 12.00pm to 3.00pm and dinner from 5.30pm to 10.30pm. For reservations and enquiries, please contact +60 3 2782 3807 or email feastvillage@ytlhotels.com.my.

Morganfield's New Menu 2018 Pavilion KL

Morganfield's New Menu 2018 - Homes of Sticky Bones

Morganfield's Homes of Sticky Bones is an American casual dining restaurant. On first thought, you would think and believe it is an American brand. The truth is Morganfield's is actually a homegrown Malaysian brand that has expanded within the region now.

You can experience the full American decor of the 50's with the pipe in American blues music playing on the background while you dine with the authentic, old-fashioned, prime pork ribs slow-cooked and smoked to tender mouthwatering perfection.

Another prominent feature of the new menu at Morganfield's is the array of the porky-licious dishes that are served at all Morganfield's outlet and is a real plus point for pork eating fans. 

First on the table is the Porky Salad (RM28.90 Nett). Served with 2 slabs of crunchy roasted pork belly cut into bite sizes, we literally finish all the pork belly in record time. The salad which consists of fresh greens, cucumber sticks, avocado, cherry tomatoes, almond flakes and sesame seeds is served with a spicy vinaigrette sauce on the side. A topping of fish crackers gives a different texture to this salad dish. 

For those; not the health freaks that just wanted to enjoy the roasted pork belly without the salad can make an order of Roasted Pork Belly (RM22.90 Nett).

The next appetiser that came was the Mussels Kilpatrick (RM28.90 Nett). An order of this comes with 6 green mussels which were sauteed with smoked bacon and sweet and sour tomatoes sauce. This is then topped with cherry tomatoes which has a tangy taste is a good starter for a meal.

For those of you; that love Fried Chicken wings will love this dish which is called the Sticky Wings (RM22.90 Nett). There are 3 flavours for you to choose from which is Fiery Habanero (a little spicy), Golden Egg Crunch (salted eggs flavour) and Honey Soy (salty sweet taste). 

For the soup, we ordered the Seafood Chowder (RM16.90 Nett). You can find a combination of seafood, corn kernels, potatoes, seaweed (yes, this is the one that makes this seafood chowder a little unique) and carrots. It is then topped with croutons to fill up your stomach.

Besides pork dishes; you can order the Sizzling Rib Eye (RM 69.90 Nett). The rib-eye steak is grilled to your preferred doneness and layered with the mushroom gravy. The steak is served in a sizzling pan with caramelized onions, mashed potatoes, sliced Eryngii mushroom and garden vegetables.

You can't leave Morganfield's without tasting its pork ribs; here is a new item on the menu which is Citrus Mojito Baby Back (RM 69.90 Nett). The ribs are marinated in apple flavours which is slow cooked in the oven and grilled to a nice char and topped with diced apples. You can order 2 sides dish to goes with your ribs. We like the fork-tender texture of the pork ribs meat as it needed little effort to eat it. 

We choose another ribs dish, but this is a combination platter which is called the Captain's Catch (RM102.90 Nett). Besides the main feature a half rack of ribs which you can choose the flavours (Hickory BBQ, Garlicky BBQ, Asian Charred or Rib Rub) This platter also comes with a Beer Battered White Perch fillet and 2 piece of sausages which is Spicy Devil sausage and Herby Hog sausage which let you taste the different type of flavour.

If you still have stomach after eating all the pork ribs and started, you might want to taste this sinfully Southwest Chicken BLT (RM 32.90 Nett).  This burger consists of a deep-fried boneless chicken thigh which is marinated with a special seasoning and topped with fried pork bacon strips with honey chilli mustard. The burger is served with French Fries and Coleslaw at the side,

Finally, if there are still rooms left in the stomach,  or on your cheat day; an order of the Smokin Duck Pasta (RM 29.90 Nett) can certainly complete your meal. Not only is this pasta laden with slices of smoked duck meat; you will find that there is little tiny crispy fried pork lard in between the pasta that makes this dish extra flavourful.

Here is a little secret for you. For those that really love pork ribs; would you like to eat FREE pork ribs for one year;  You just need to celebrate your birthday at Morganfield's with a minimum spent on RM500.00. Do check this offer out or Morganfield's facebook page for more details. 

KOUZU BANGSAR BAR | Modern Japanese Dining at Kouzu Bangsar Bar

KOUZU BANGSAR - A Touch Of Modern Japanese Dining

Following the success of Kouzu TTDI, the management has decided to open its' second outlet in Bangsar. Kouzu Bangsar which is located at 19, Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Kouzu which means a compilation of good deeds and good fortune, while offering something new by bringing a sophisticated twist to the traditional Japanese restaurant. The ethos behind Kouzu is to deliver authentic flavour of the east combined with modern and progressive Japanese cuisine at an affordable price.

From the outside, one can easily be mistaken Kouzu Bangsar; as another bar restaurant which is famous in this Bangsar area. Once you open up the restaurant menu; you will see a menu that has a full list of Japanese tapas and other popular dishes.

The sharp coloured character of the Japanese manga graffiti on the side wall gives a bold statement of welcome to its guest. There is a twist to the Japanese dishes served at Kouzu Bangsar as the Chef has added some creativity and twist to some of these dishes among them are as follows; 

Our review started with an order of the Yasai Heritage Salad (RM17) - This multicoloured salad consists of Point Pennywort, Cosmos Candatus, Point Selom, Sakura Ebi, Orange Yuzu, Grated Coconut with a Ponzu Vinaigrette dressing.

This is then followed by the Asari Sakamushi (RM22) - the soup has a strong mushroom taste which is from the truffle oil that was used to cook this dish. Usually, Japanese soup dishes are not served with a bread but here it is served with a toasted Bruschetta.

The next dish is the Blue Fin Tuna & Foie Gras (RM29).  This is a real classic example of marrying of an East Meets Wests dish. You would never have experienced this fusion. The Tuna was lightly an fried which still has the soft sashimi texture. The enclosed sauce is made out of apple chutney with unagi which went perfectly with both the ingredient. 

The next appetiser is rather unique in a sense which is Gyoza Kaisen  (RM22). Japanese Gyoza filling is usually either chicken or pork meat, but very few would serve a filling of seafood. As a seafood lover thumbs up for this dish.

Another one of the special dishes is this simple looking Avocado Miso Gratin (RM26). This gratin is filled with seafood such as shrimp, scallop, crab stick and Ebiko with a strong hint of the mushroom and miso taste. 

The next dish is a pasta dish which is called Angel Hair Pasta (RM22). I am not a real fan of pasta but this pasta which is served with creamy mentaiko roe that triggers my taste bud. The pasta is served in a roll and topped with caviar and Ebiko that gives this dish a special taste and texture.

For the rice dish, we were recommended to taste the Kouzu Don (RM29). This rice dish is served with a slice of grilled sirloin steak which is topped with a truffle teriyaki sauce. Other condiments in the Don; is the Onsen Tamago, Foie Gras, crispy garlic. Mix all the condiments and you have a uniquely flavoured Don.  

For the sushi rolls, we were served 2 type; the first of which is the Salmon Kabuki Roll (RM18) which has ingredients such as sliced salmon, ebiko, foie gras, cucumber, caviar, chives, avocado pulp, wasabi mayo and teriyaki.

While the second sushi roll is the Umami Roll (RM20) which is also loaded with unagi, tatura cheese, ebiko, wasabi mayo and teriyaki.

One of my favourite Japanese dishes is the Yakitori, At Kouzu Bangsar, you can order individual stick; We made an order of  Chicken Wing, Rack Of Lambs, Smoke Duck, Rock Lobster and King Mushroom. Nicely grilled with a light salty taste; it is perfect with a nice cold icy drink. There are many other types of meat, seafood and vegetable yakitori that you can order from the menu.

For a private dining experience, Kouzu Bangsar also has a VVIP room where you dine with your group of friends and guests.

I am not really a fan of fusion dishes as there are many failures to create a new taste but yet having the original taste in mind. At Kouzu Bangsar, I find the Chef creative use of premium ingredients together with the right condiment that makes Kouzu Japanese dishes really stand out.
