Hilton KL's sweeping F&B revamp brings us another new restaurant this month: Chambers Grill, a lobby-level outlet that taps into the thrill of broiled meat & seafood.
A robatayaki-style counter is this establishment's centerpiece, with a gleaming backdrop of Himalayan salt chambers where prime cuts of beef are dry-aged for weeks before being cooked.
Commence with complimentary charcoal-black bread rolls, completely befitting of Chambers' burn-baby-burn theme, served with unsalted butter.
Dry-aged steaks are the highlight here: The least extravagant protein-powerhouse possibility is this 250-gram, 28-day-aged Black Angus rib-eye (RM188++), prepared fully rare & partnered with mushroom sauce that's laced with Hennessy X.O.
For tighter budgets, try a skewer of dry-aged, barbecue-rubbed Argentinean sirloin (RM38++).
Or opt for Wagyu (the menu says it's Marble Score 8) with yuzukosho paste (RM88++).
Wagyu intercostal muscle 'char siu,' basically beef marinated with honey, five-spice powder & hoisin sauce, complemented by a Chinese chili dip (RM68++).
Red-meat lovers can also have lamb rump with Mexican rub & guacamole (RM38++).
Chambers' side dishes are unusual: Smoked rice with hand-churned salted butter (RM18++) ...
... & sand-baked King Edward potato, densely smooth, with spiced sour cream (RM18++).
The restaurant supplies a trio of signature salts to pair with the food: Red wine salt goes with meat, smoked salt with chicken & veggies, while lemon salt's for seafood. Where's the remainder of that menu? A tale for another time.
Unfortunately, wine's also exorbitant here; this New Zealand Sileni Cellar Pinot Noir's only the second-cheapest bottle on the main menu, clocking in at RM210++.
Cocktails are OK: Pimm's Royal Cup (RM35++; Pimm's No. 1 topped up with Bollinger champagne, with apples, cucumbers, oranges, lemons & strawberries).
Strawberry Margarita (RM32++; Olmeca Tequila, triple sec, strawberry syrup & ice cream).
