Le Petit Chef @ Elements, TREC KL

26/11/2019 No Comments

The scene of dining in KL is getting more interesting. From scent experiancial to story telling. Currently running is the The World’s Smallest Chef KL known as Le Petit Chef, In The Footsteps of Marco Polo happening in Elements, TREC KL.

A 5 course dinner that brings you to different country. Quite a great story telling and journey though.

ambiance is pretty nice as can be set up according to the number of pax have made during reservation. For night session on weekend, they have 2 session in total. They start on the dot and I mean on the dot. If it is 7pm means 7pm start. The most also delay 5minutes as they need to cater for another session after that.

So do take note that on weekdays with traffic jam, do really plan your time accordingly.

Let the dinner story begins.

A story about Marco Polo with Le Petit chef heading for a flavour adventure.

FIRST COURSE : THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Pacific Oyster Cream | Fourme d’Amber, toasted walnut brioche, honeycomb

SECOND COURSE : MIDDLE EASTERN
Charcoal roasted beetroot, chickpea hummus, parsley, feta cheese | Marinated lamb, shallots, pomegranate, yoghurt dip | Lebanese onion, raisins, smoked duck, hazelnut

Quite impress with this dish as they are quite flavourful, fragrant and hits most of the taste of a middle eastern.

The host also change his costume according to the theme.

THIRD COURSE : INDIA
Rasam, green lentil, mint leaf, deep fried sweet neem leaves | Polos salmon, green pea masala, curry leaf, spicy shallot | Rice idli, tikka chutney, kurkuri bhindi, salted chili

FOURTH COURSE : HIMALAYAN
NO2 raspberry sorbet, kaffir lime soda, mint jelly

This is indeed very refreshing, especially with the dry ice effect, most of the kids love it.

FIFTH COURSE : CHINA
Corn fed chicken, monkey ear mushroom, candied ginger, mushroom foam, baby leek, flat rice noodle

chicken is juicy, skin is slight crips and it is pretty good.

SIXTH COURSE : FRANCE
Tonko creme brulee, chocolate mousse, blackberry, freeze dried orange

A nice ending with 2 types flavour of dessert. creme brulee is sweet enough to my liking and the chocolate mousse

A food adventure with 5 different countries and I think it is not too bad. Do see alot of kids enjoying it and also the dishes serve are above my expectation. No wonder they are quite filled up.

10/07/2018 No Comments

Samgeori Butchers is one of a well known Korean bbq shop hail all the way from Korea. Part of YG Republic that located in Hive block at TREC KL; along with K Pub. A shop that Specialise in Iberico pork, be certain that on the premium quality cut as you get to see it at their cold room.

This is where you get to see and choose your meat.

As you can see alot of singature in the wall, as the outlet was officiate by a few members of Big Bang.

This is a very unique Korean salad as I consider this is another substitute for Kimchi. Quite similiar as they are using chives as replacement and top with egg yolk to give it a slightly creamy texture.

Korean famous Budae Jigae @ RM 60 that can easily feed 2-3 pax. We add Ramyeon and cheese along.

If you are craving for fried chicken, then hit on their K-Fried Chicken @ RM 25 (M)

Janchi Noodles that have been cook in clear soup for 48 hours. @ RM 25

Mix Meat Platter @ RM 75. This platter certainly will works very well with alcohol especially when you have beer or soju as it is a combination serving of pork belly and jaw.

Butcher’s Pork Fried Rice @ RM 50 for 2 i s a dish that you would want to consider as one of the dish. Fried to perfection as the rice is fragrant with right amount of spiciness and do mix it all up.

This is what we have order.

A mix of Iberico Belly (150g) , Iberico Neck (150g) @ RM 55 each & Iberico Abanico @ RM 60.

This machine works quite unique as it is not your typical Korean bbq shop where you see the sucktion of air is from the top as this machine works from below. So that you wont smell like bbq pit yet you get to enjoy your Korean BBQ.

If you are looking for a slight premium pork cut in a Korean BBQ shop in Kl or Korean BBQ shop nearby Bukit Bintang, this place might be a good alternative for you.

Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège Collection 6 @ TREC, KL

07/05/2016 No Comments

Recently The Hennessy V.S.O.P Privilège Collection 6 launched at one of KL top night hang out place, TREC in style as we were brought through a series of journey for it. First is by unique four-course dinner and cocktail pairing experience that truly elevated the Hennessy V.S.O.P drinking experience. The menu and specially-crafted cocktails were conceptualized by the team at Hacha Mecha and IKKI Bar. The unique menu paired Japanese flavours with the sweet, fruity notes of the Hennessy V.S.O.P through a selection of various classic cocktail adaptations.

All of us were gathered at Hacha Mecha that will kick start our first series of experience in four course meal.

I had the previous bottle of 5th collection series and with 6th is to mark its second collaboration with renowned art director Peter Saville, Hennessy V.S.O.P.

With a few usual suspects, of course is Jason and Elaine.

With Henry Goldings being the host for the night.

Our dinner kick start with:

Yakitori Tasting Platter – (Chicken Tsukene, Chicken Thigh & Leek, and Mozzarella Balls)

Paired with Horse’s Neck – (Hennessy V.S.O.P, Ginger Ale, Angostura Bitters and Lemon Wedges)

Wagyu / Chicken Karage Sliders

Paired with Side Car – (Hennessy V.S.O.P, Triple Sec and Lemon Juice).I was joking on the name of this drink where side car will make you side car if you drink more (side car translate to cantonese). So for this drink, do handle with care.

During our dinner, we were distract with great voice from Talitha Tan, one of the newest songstresses in the Malaysian scene, for which she played a variation of both original songs and unique covers of the current popular hits.

Char Grilled Miso Salmon/ Truffled Wagyu Donburi

Paired with Mint Julep (Hennessy V.S.O.P, Angostura Bitters, Mint Leaves). I have tried a few mint jelup and I think this is one of a better mint jelup so far with Hennessy as one of the base.

Final dish is one of the best dish by far as it is totally a fantastic dish with alot of confusion created in your mind. our dessert is Cold Tuna Sashimi. In love with its creativy and techinque for this where tuna sashimi is actually made from compress watermelon and finely slice to look it like a nice cut of sashimi, along with wasabi infuse ice cream to make your experience that you are eating a fresh tuna sashimi that gives you a chill sensation to your taste bud. Fine crust biscuit is to add in a great crunchy bite along with ginger slices that makes it a well balance dessert dish. It is a cleverly presented dish.

If this Cold Tuna Sashimi is in their dessert menu, do give it a try.

After the meal, we head to our second session, that is held just right upstairs at Hacha Mecha, is IKKI for specially-crafted cocktails by Lead Bartender, Mr Osmund Bernard. The cocktail session entailed a special masterclass session with Osmund himself who took guests through the inspiration and procedure behind each unique cocktail.

This French Summer cocktail was available for that night only and featured a refreshing take on the Hennessy V.S.O.P flavours, giving guests a taste of summer in France as a tribute to the heritage of the Hennessy brand, is one on of womens favourite. Clever mix from Osmund created the creamy foam that makes the drink so smooth where thyme is added along. I then pluck the leaves and stir it along and it sure do enhance the taste of the drink to be more fragrant.

While waiting for our drinks to be prepared, we got another great local talent, Daphne Charice for her cover songs.

Stronger taste bud tester, do be prepare for A Letter from Mr. Ikki took the spotlight of the cocktail session with its full-bodied, rich flavours and served as the perfect after-dinner drink. The cocktail brings out hints of oak and coffee, complemented with Ikki Chocolate Bitters that combine spices and herbs with chocolate.
