We're always in the market for a place like this: Black Market peddles provocatively pleasurable wares of pork & wine forbidden at some other restaurants.
Endowed with a verdant view that unfurls over the horizons of the Royal Selangor Golf Club, this spacious eatery is a slice of calm, scarcely a ten-minute drive from KLCC.
The menu's mouthwatering: Begin with linguine (RM28), tangled with black truffle pate for from-the-earth fragrance & a soft egg for slippery creaminess.
Thin-crust pizza with jamon iberico & rocket (RM28). Nice, but could be more lavishly topped.
Black Market's priciest merchandise: the Wagyu burger (RM68), with a thick slice of beef grilled marginally past medium-rare, partnered with nachos & guacamole.
This little piggy went to the Market & never came back: Tri-pork fried rice, sinfully blessed with bacon, luncheon meat & crispy lard (RM28).
Mega-massive pork ribs, intriguingly deep-fried with "bunga kantan" torch ginger buds & coupled with a minty dip. Strictly for sharing.
One gripe: Black Market currently serves wine only by the bottle.
On the bright side, complimentary bottled water is served, with nice goblets to go with it.
Black Market shares a compound with Caffeinees; drive into the same entrance, then look for a small building behind Caffeinees. The venue's near Ciao Italian Restaurant.
