March 29
Went for buffet at the Hilton KL. Seems to have dropped a bit in quality terms; though the prawns were fresh, the sashimi was a bit flabby (presumably due to the Japan earthquake and consequent supply disruptions). The bread and the Stilton Cheese were the highlight for me, as was the Gazpatcho, but the Beef felt a bit tasteless whilst the Chicken and Mushroom pie was a stodgy disaster. Tasty basmati rice and lamb shank tortellini, though. But the mains were not strong. Also, appeared to be tasteless supermarket Ice cream for dessert rather than the previous very tasty chocolate chip. Bit disappointing.
This blog started 2011 as "Fine Food and Wine in Kuala Lumpur", a diary of food and wine adventures in KL. Through travel, this got subsumed into a broader global context. The blog looks to document food, wine and travel experiences mostly in Europe and Malaysia, also Japan, Scandinavia and India. I try to call it as I see, eat and drink it; if it's tasty, value and worth a return, I will look to say so. Type a city, country, restaurant, wine in the search box, see if I've been there?
Mission
Mission: To respond thoughtfully and responsibly to my experiences of drinking and dining at restaurants with regard to the quality, service, preparation, presentation and overall experience received thereat. The standpoint is one who respects the crafts of the chef and sommelier and who seeks to understand their choices in the kitchen and cellar and grow in knowledge. In this, I will seek to be fair, reasoned, direct and constructive and aim to keep my ego in check on our mutual journeys through the worlds of food and wine.
