Wading back to Lafite for some fishy fun.
Salmon confit "ice cream cones." Luscious. Lovably luscious.
Pan-seared Dover sole with sauteed young spinach, crispy brioche, yuzu miso sauce, candied black olives, lemon confit & tomato marmalade. Firm, fleshy fish.
Brittany turbot with three-color potatoes, black olives, saffron sauce & tarragon tomatoes. OK, we have trouble telling the difference between sole & turbot. Both taste like a cross between sea bass & cod.
Speaking of sea bass, here's a line-caught French one, baked in salt crust and served with parsley cream, young potatoes, carrot cake, tarragon & mustard cream sauce.
A whole sea bass serves two, so the fish was halved into separate slices for both of us. Superbly succulent, with a natural sweetness that made every bite a genuine delight.
Auxey-Duresses Chardonnay (Burgundy).
Lafite,
Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur.
never fail to the eye pleaser in town :)
ReplyDeleteAugustdiners: I'm a believer in lafite! It might not be the best restaurant in town, but i haven't had a bad meal here so far =)
ReplyDeletewhat's the price range for fish course there~? I miss HighTide :(
ReplyDeleteFui: it's pricey, unfortunately. Just to be safe, plan on spending RM100 for a main course of fish...
ReplyDeleteFuh, LaFite. Haven't gotten round to coming here to eat ... cos too expensive lah ... hear price also scared off already ;3
ReplyDeleteTiming: yeah, it's probably best saved for special occasions. Make it a dinner to remember! =)
