Rock us again, Amadeus! Earlier entry on Amadeus Bistro & Wine Bar: August 14, 2012.
A harmonious combo: poached egg, grilled asparagus and Hollandaise sauce.
Staying in tune with our fowl mood: rustic-looking duck terrine mixed with pistachios.
Duck confit. Too many renditions elsewhere are stringy or shrilly salty, so we always appreciate one that hits the right notes, like Amadeus' does.
Sachertorte, the classic Austrian creation of choc sponge cake, apricot jam and dark choc icing.
Something somewhat special: orange-spiked tiramisu, for a trumpet blast of tangy flavor.
If chocolate be the food of love, eat on: Ferrero Rocher-topped dark-and-white-choc cake with custard cream layers.
A chorus of cocktails: Amadeus Delight (vodka, gin, apricot brandy, sweet and sour, lemon juice) and Mozart (vodka, southern comfort, amaretto, orange juice, grenadine).
Also unique: sweet, honey-laced grappa, for a pitch-perfect coda to the evening.
Amadeus,

The poached egg looks awesome...it will be on my list on my next visit for their ala-carte...along with their lamb rack and the duck confit...hehe =)
ReplyDeleteTheir desserts looks good too :)
Ulric: ya, everything's not bad, though I suspect there won't be a round three blog post for amadeus this year =)
Deletea rather safe menu, kinda please everyone.
ReplyDeleteThe poached eggs certainly looked promising!
Tng: ya, I definitely hope they'll expand the menu and introduce several adventurous recipes :D can't go wrong with poached egg, heheh =)
DeleteMust go and try this place one day, maybe after work, since not far from my side. :D
ReplyDeleteCk: can also try for lunch! They have set lunches that cost around RM20 =)
DeleteThe duck confit looks like something Falco would approve. Looks like there are a lot of choices for good food nearby where CK and I work now :)
ReplyDeleteUnka: wonder if Falco is still alive, heh =) Yeah, you and CK work in prime territory. A lot of eateries opening up within walking distance :D
Deleteand the answer to your question is no, he's passed on I'm afraid.

Unka: yikes, I had no idea. Would have thought he'd be in his 60s now, either retired or touring the oldies nostalgia circuit. Sounds like a sad accident.
DeleteI think my visit next week must include the poached egg and duck confit.
ReplyDeleteMissyblurkit: the duck is good for sharing, since it's a fairly substantial portion :D
Deletethis is really one of the biggest duck confit i've seen.
ReplyDeleteKY: quack quack goes the big duck :D
DeleteI just made poached eggs with asparagus the other day, but not the Hollandaise cos I was too lazy. A great breakfast dish.
ReplyDeleteThe Sachertorte looks great!
Baby sumo: Sounds like a good way to encourage the kids to eat asparagus :D ya, it's a nice twist on a Choc cake, thanks to the apricot part =)
DeleteHow do you come up with these phrases? "fowl mood" hee hee!
ReplyDeleteThe yum list: I'm obsessed with puns! :D
Deletelooks like my kinda place!
ReplyDeleteCiki: it might prove popular with folks working around the building =)
Deletethe poached egg certainly looks WET.. lol
ReplyDeleteSimple Person; heheh, soft enough to break with a very gentle touch :D
DeleteFinally got around to trying the food here. It's not bad! Have you done the entire menu? If you wanna go back let me know kay .. there are other dishes I have not tried:)
ReplyDeleteCiki: okies, if they expand their menu, let's go! so far, am not planning to return just yet. i'm hoping they'll eventually introduce some items that are more obscure to set themselves apart from the many other outlets in KL that offer dishes like duck confit =)
DeleteEgg/Asparagus/Hollandaise is the best combination!! And that's like the biggest duck confit I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteKelly: heheh, all praise to the french for popularizing hollandaise sauce and duck confit! our taste buds thank them for both :D
Deletei like the name of this place!
ReplyDeleteEiling: it has a nice catchy ring to it! :D
DeleteIt was a bit of walking from UOAII but I had 2 hours of lunch break on Friday from my lecture. Every bit worth the walking... nice place ! The Chef saw me photographing and Chat with me, nice guy !
ReplyDeleteWong: yay! am really glad to hear you enjoyed having your lunch here :D
