Cristallo Di Luna @Pacific Regency Hotel Suites Kuala Lumpur - A Romantic Italian Christmas Celebration Review

Christmas Season is round the corner and what better way to celebrate this festive holiday with your loved ones in one of a hidden upscale restaurant that has a gorgeous panoramic city view of Kuala Lumpur.

Best Restaurant To Eat was invited to a special fine dining Christmas Special at Cristallo Di Luna which is strategically located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur on the 34th Floor Pacific Regency Hotel Suites at Jalan Puncak Kuala Lumpur.

The decor is one that exudes a great ambience and romantic setting, an ideal place to wine and dine Italian Style with your other half.

The place has a stylish interior with a pleasant and lovely atmosphere to de-stress oneself.

Dinner started with a light Pumpkin Soup, which has a smooth creamy texture and a strong pumpkin flavour.

Featuring a culinary creation of the head chef, he uses the free Range Capon Chicken as the Christmas Main Theme dish, with Giblet Gravy and Cranberry Compote. As a substitute to the ever popular Turkey, which have a much more tougher meat, the Capon Chicken was indeed a splendid change with its tender, smooth and juicy meat. 

The Capon Chicken is stuffed with blended Chestnut with breadcrumbs and then sent to the roaster to be roasted for a good 45 minutes. The mash stuffing are then taken out and moulded before being fried and served as a side dish.with sauteed brussel sprout with potatoes and braised red cabbage.

The Special Giblet Sauce was made from Mirepoix, juice of the Roast Chicken and Chicken innards to produce a very delicious sauce that was thicken to give you a nice glaze which complemented with the natural taste of the Capon Chicken. The Roast Capon Chicken was very well paired with a glass of white wine.

For Desserts, we had the Apple Crumble, 

Thai Rainbow Jelly In Shooter Glass

and Christmas Fruit Cake 

followed by a cuppa of hot Cappucino to end the lovely evening.

Cristallo @ Pacific Regency Hotel Suite is having a Christmas Eve Buffet. The full details are as below with their Signature Roast Capon Chicken as the highlights.

With that Best Restaurant To Eat was invited to do a food review for a new outlet Crispy Crust @Sunway PJS 11 which specializes in Fried Food located at 39, Jalan PJS11/9, Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya.

Crispy Crust @Sunway PJS 11 is located at the light industrial area which is just adjacent to the Sunway College and University, which explains quite a number of customer coming from here too. 

Being in the industrial factory unit, it has high ceiling and a wide façade that can cater to a sizable crowd.

The setting is one of a straight forward no frill and casual setting since most food serves here are fast food items which customer usually comes in for a quick meal and off to the next course of their work or study. 

The concept at Crispy Crust @Sunway PJS 11 is very straight forward i.e Design Your Own Set Menu i.e there are quite a number of Fried and Grilled food from the menu. One just selects which item that you want and add on, any additional sides.

To order, just choose from the menu which MAIN DISH you would like and then select the Extra and then any ADD-ON for your meal.

The MAIN DISH has 4 items on it which are Fried Chicken,

and Grilled Salmon.

While the EXTRA has Gohan (Japanese) Rice, 

Spaghetti, 

French Fries, Sandwich, Home Salad, Cheese, Beef Bacon, Caramel Bacon, Pan-Fried Eggs,

For the ADD ON, you can order the other snack which includes Home Made Chicken Nuggets, Fried Chicken Wings, Extra Fries, Nachos and Deep Fried Milk.

And for the drinks you can order the Home Made Lime Soda, any soft drinks from the Fizzy fountain and Beer which would be a nice pairing for all these Fried Food. 

Besides that, they have special Breakfast Set which consist of a Big Burger with either Fried Chicken or Grilled Chicken with a couple of beef bacon slices and topped with a pineapple ring with mayonnaise dressing. 

I preferred the burger with the Grilled Chicken as the meat is more tender and juicy while the pineapple ring gives out a sweet and tangy taste which blended well to the entire offering.

Well, if you are one of those that simply loves Fried Food, you might find Crispy Crust as a Haven for you. As the name suggest, all the Fried stuff , has Crust that are super Crispy at Crispy Crust @Sunway PJS 11.
