It's been several months since Changkat Bukit Bintang last saw a fresh opening, so let's offer a warm welcome to this two-story champagne lounge.
Cin Cin's menu is limited, but naturally, there are oysters _ six succulent ones for RM29+. Prices here are below average, but there's no apparent compromise in the food quality.
Baby octopus & squid with avocado (RM19+). We love it when a plan comes together: the sweet-&-savory octopus, the pleasantly chewy (but not rubbery) squid, the creamy avocado _ all of them combine forces for a salad to savor slowly.
Foie gras (RM29+). Impeccably prepared liver, pan-fried with thoughtfully assembled accompaniments of mushrooms & berries.
Battered Camembert cheese stuffed with kimchi (RM19+). A crisp, salty snack, supremely addictive, with a mild kick from the kimchi. All these appetizer-portion platters come with raw leaves to reduce the guilt factor.
Of course, this visit would be incomplete without bubbly, also brilliantly priced. Nicolas Feuillatte Reserve Particuliere (RM35+) & Ferraton Cotes Du Rhone Rouge 2007 (RM30+).

The prices here are really very reasonable hor. Cheese and kimchi sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteBaby sumo: yaaa, we were pleasantly surprised when the bill arrived! :D luckily the taste of kimchi wasn't overpowering (am not a fan of kimchi, heh)
ReplyDeleteThe name leaves a lot to be desired but good to knw the prices are so reasonable. It's Changkat after all!
ReplyDeleteTng: hehe, I'm not totally sure about this, but I think cin means cheers in italian! Or some other language, I can't recall :D
ReplyDeleteCheese and kimchi! That's my ideaaaaaaa! But maybe someone else discovered that first. sigh. oh well...
ReplyDeleteMichelle: oops! Ya, so maybe it's true, great minds do think alike :D
ReplyDeletelook at one of the ciggy box's graphics, then look at baby octopus pic again. :P
ReplyDeleteOooooooh.... Gotta try this place soon. Looks really good...
ReplyDelete(Hmmmm, which club/ restaurant bit the dust and was replaced by CinCin *curious*)
ky: yikes! i might never be able to look at baby octopus the same way again :P
ReplyDeletej: oh, it was this kinda obscure bar, cloth & clef: http://eatdrinkkl.blogspot.com/2009/03/cloth-clef.html ... the turnover at changkat is kinda scary sometimes =)
Nice find!! I am attracted to the foie gras! Looks like a sizable piece with a reasonable price to boot! :)
ReplyDeleteiamthewitch: oh yeah, it's not easy to find any foie gras dish that costs below RM40 these days! i hope this place's prices don't increase drastically anytime soon =)
ReplyDeletehey i haven't been to changkat for weeks! so fast there's a new restaurant popping out?!! darn, I gotta keep up!
ReplyDeleteeiling: yeah, but actually it's been quite slow at changkat so far this year. nothing really, really exciting has opened on this street so far this year...
ReplyDeleteFoie gras for RM29+? That's very reasonable!
