Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur has launched a restaurant wholly dedicated to Malaysian cuisine, spanning everything from otak-otak to char kuey teow and tandoori chicken.
JP Teres boasts a lovely layout, with both an air-conditioned interior and an alfresco area in the shadow of the city center's skyscrapers.
Show kitchens form the centerpiece of this eatery, enabling customers to watch their satay being flame-grilled, noodles being wok-fried and their roti canai tossed.
Lamb satay (RM18++ for six sticks), irresistibly chunky and irreproachably marinated.
Oyster omelet (RM20++), more flavorful than we thought a halal version would be.
Ice cream sandwich, a localized interpretation featuring a brick of fragrant 'teh tarik' flavor in between crisp 'love letter' rolls. Excellent.
Cocktails to partner perfectly with satay: Lemongrass Martini and Ginger Ale Pimm's Cup.
Needing more liquor, we took the elevator up 38 floors to Thirty8. On a haze-free afternoon, it's nice to see the hills beyond KL's office buildings.
A place to examine the difference between a Caipirinha and a Caipiroska (RM30++ each).
Main entry on Thirty8's food: August 27, 2012.

Why so little food? Snacking after visiting Thirty8?...hehe =)
ReplyDeleteUlric: heh, saving space in stomach for dinner a few hours after that =)
DeleteThe satay looks so plump when you compare them to the ones you'd get elsewhere!!!! ohhh they should have a Neapolitan Malaysian style ice cream - 1/3 milo, 1/3 the tarik, 1/3 kopi! that would be interesting hehe "high class mamak" :P
ReplyDeleteVien: oh yeah, no stringy, skinny, stingy sticks of satay here! :D whoa, that's a mind-blowing idea for ice cream! and it sounds totally plausible, totally pleasurable! :D
DeleteOoh, Lemongrass Martini, that sounds fab.
ReplyDeleteThe Yum List: an exotic asian variation! :D
DeleteThis reminds me of the Straits Kitchen in Grand Hyatt Singapore, they serve local cuisine buffet, I love their double boiled soup. :D
ReplyDeleteCK: ooh, that sounds like an interesting restaurant! i think there's a double-boiled chicken with wolfberries soup at thirty8 here, maybe can try :D
Deletelove letters ice cream.. ingenious.. but must read the love letter b4 the icecream melts all over it hor :P
ReplyDeleteCiki: heheh, an ideal dessert to present to a lover, as a token of unmelting love! :D
Deletethe lamb satay certainly looks good
ReplyDeletesure it will be hot after taking it.. LOL
Simple Person: heh, i think i prefer lamb satay compared to beef satay. not sure why :D
DeleteBcose it's leaner compared to fattier beef? =)
DeleteUlric: not sure. i prefer beef as steaks and lamb as satay, heh :D
DeleteI wouldn't mind the ice cream sandwich..... yum.
ReplyDeleteBaby Sumo: it's nice! but i think you'd need to order one for each of your children. not something that's advisable to share, cos they might end up fighting over it (cos it's delicious)! :D
Deleteinteresting..i wonder which outlet does buffets..
ReplyDeleteTNG: oh, so far, none of the outlets at grand hyatt seems to serve buffets...
DeleteGrand Hyatt- will remember ..
ReplyDeleteLove2dine: a name to remember =)
DeleteIce cream sandwich sound like phone os... Haha... Nv try a teh tarik ice cream... *wondering*
ReplyDeleteCindy: you're right! i didn't think of that, heheh :D teh tarik ice cream tastes almost exactly like teh tarik ais =)
Deleteam happily oogling over the oyster omelette. Looks nice and fluffy. I supposed its quite generously filled with juicy oysters?
ReplyDeleteMissyblurkit: heheh, could have been more generous, but i wasnt complaining, since the eggs were so soft and creamy, exactly the way I love them! :D
Deletealas there's a place to bring the foreign guests to without having to sweat it out at Jalan Alor or mamak stalls. lol
ReplyDeleteEiling: heheh, especially foreign guests whose currencies are much stronger than our ringgit! :D
