Returning to Renoma Cafe Gallery, this time for its all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch.
A value-for-money treat, 11am-3pm, Sundays & public holidays: RM85++ per person pays for a staggering selection cooked to order, including brighter-than-sunshine poached egg with sauteed fettuccine, duck prosciutto, eringi mushrooms & grana padano cheese.
More egg yolk, salted & smeared on meaty battered soft-shell crab with curry leaves, underscore the rising Asian influence in Renoma's classical French repertoire.
Maine lobster can be enjoyed in Eastern fashion, via this deluxe Thai-inspired "tom kha goong" coconut broth with shimeji mushrooms ...
... or sandwiched Western-style, with a savory underbelly of beef bacon, pommery mustard mayo & heritage tomatoes.
Renoma's take on Italy's Caprese salad makes the mozzarella crunchy, adding avocado oil & pine nuts for subtle grace notes.
This eatery lets its chefs' creativity run beautifully unbridled, evidenced by the baked black bass in Portuguese spicy sauce with saffron risotto & okra.
A trio of tiger prawn recipes, starting with this simple salad with mud crab meat ...
... followed by another, wok-fried with crushed, candied pecan nuts & lemon oil ...
... then finally, 'sang har meen'-style, with crispy egg noodles in an egg white gravy laced with Chinese shao xin wine & ginger.
Char-grilled lamb chops with chimichurri sauce. Portions are suitably small, so even light eaters can likely indulge in six to eight plates for their money's worth.
Order as much foie gras as you want, as often as you want, in a consomme of smoked duck, wood ear mushrooms & water chestnuts ...
... or with capellini & forest mushrooms ...
... or centered with Muscovy duck rilettes in Renoma's signature burger. All the liver's chunky, making this meal miraculous in price.
As the live jazz performers heat up the stage, let's wind down with tummy-fillers like miso-glazed Atlantic cod & wheatgerm tagliolini ...
... Jamie Oliver's recommended party dish, the hunter's chicken stew, with potato mousseline ...
... Moroccan-influenced braised lamb shank with lemon, apricot, almonds & pepper pappardelle ..
... porcini mushroom risotto with the merest whiff of white truffle oil ...
... black mussels with XO sauce, saffron tagliatelle & green chili coulis ...
... wok-fried Black Angus beef tenderloin with morel mushrooms & tea-infused rice ...
... & Hokkaido Bay scallop with black & white sesame seeds, green tea soba & hijiki seaweed. Amazingly, everything above makes up less than half the menu.
Scarce space for dessert, so two will suffice: Elegantly presented tiramisu ...
... & not-bad chocolate brownie with coffee ice cream. Sweets lovers can also indulge in pavlova, panna cotta, creme brulee, raspberry mousse, apple pie & peach melba.
Throw in another RM75++ for a free flow of Chardonnay ...
... Cabernet Sauvignon ...
... & iSpritz sparkling wine cocktail mix.
Coffee comes complimentary, helping customers stagger out when everything ends.
