A British Christmas with Traditional
Oven Roasted Turkey Feast!
This
Yuletide season, it always pays to enjoy a feast of festive favorites with
family and friends! New to the Solaris
Mont Kiara neighborhood is Thyme
Kiara Restaurant. Barely three months old is Thyme Kiara, a modern home
style kitchen serving European cuisine, the heart and soul of Zyda and her
family. Having moved from the cold weather of London to our hot and sunny
Malaysian shore, Zyda hopes to let her diners experience what modern European
food is all about.
Thyme Kiara is obviously named for a reason. Zyda
uses lots of thyme in her cooking and also since she feels it very important to
spend time with family and friends over a good hearty meal, she hopes Thyme Kiara will be able to let her
diners enjoy the warm and delicious home style dishes her restaurant serves. To
her and her family, it’s all abot spending family time over a hearty meal of
Sunday Roast or any meals for that matter. Previously in England, Zyda had ran
two Bed &Breakfast boutique hotels and hope to be able to do so here one
day.
The
bistro is beautiful at sight. Sheer simplicity of minimalist modern interior
design of bright blue with cream and natural dark wood color theme gave the
whole place an elegant and contemporary ambiance. There are two dining sections
with a main dining area on the ground level and a private dining area on the
next floor up which is perfect for parties and private functions. Thyme Kiara also has a bar area where
one can hang out with some beer or wine to catch some sport actions on the TV.
When
we were there, Thyme Kiara was
already decorated with the festive trimmings and Christmas music was already
playing to add further charm to the festive mood. Zyda and her team is set to
welcome in the Christmas holiday with her British traditional Christmas home
style menu filled with much deliciousness of Mulled Wines, holiday classics and
sweet Christmas desserts.
There
is a Thyme Kiara Festive Season Set Menu
for the adult as well as a Thyme Kiara
Children Menu. There is also a Takeaway
Menu of the Traditional Oven Roasted Turkey with all the trimmings. More
details of this at the end of the post. Reservations of 2 days in advance are
required for the festive set menus and takeaway.
Thyme Kiara Festive Season Set Menu
The
Thyme Kiara Festive Season Set Menu
offers diners a beverage, a starter, a main course, a dessert and finished with
coffee and mint. Diners choose from the various choices from the beverage,
starter and dessert.
With
festive holidays around the corner, diners can choose from a glass of House Pouring Wine or Mocktail to ring in the festive cheers
with this set menu.
There
is a choice of starter from Bruschetta,
Creamed Pumpkin Soup with Spiced Ginger or Smoked Salmon Salad for the set menu.
The
Creamed Pumpkin Soup with Spiced Ginger
is pure comfort flavours of sweet and creamy pumpkin jazzed up with hints of
earthy spices and light ginger notes in the background. It’s beautifully
delicious, tummy warming and very satisfying as a starter.
The
Smoked Salmon Salad also proved to
be a winner with its salty and smoky flavours of the luscious smoked salmon
crowning crisp romaine lettuces and rockets, cherry tomatoes and cucumber all
dressed in light vinaigrette and finished with shavings of parmesans. Light,
fresh and lovely starter to gear up for the heavier main course to come.
It
was truly worth the wait to get to the main course of the menu. A treat of festive
tradition, a platter of home favorite roast, lots and lots of smaller platters
of sides, rich creamed gravy and fruity tangy sauce is what a Christmas feast is
all about at the British table.
Thyme Kiara’s Traditional Oven Roasted
Turkey with all the
trimmings of Yorkshire Puddings and Roasted Vegetables served with Cranberry
Sauce and Chef Crafted Gravy is
set to impress diners with a holiday feast cooked with love.
Traditional Oven Roasted Turkey with
Cranberry Sauce and Chef Crafted Gravy
Roasted Potatoes, Roasted Peppers, Sautéed
Snow Peas, Roasted Parsnips and Carrots, Corn on Cob, Classic British Yorkshire
Puddings and Sautéed Bok Choi are all the must-have
trimmings to the festive roasted turkey.
For
single diners or smaller groups of less than 8, the main course is served by
individual portions. For groups of 8 and above, a whole turkey together with
all the trimmings and sauces are presented in family sharing platters.
The
turkey was moist, tender and delicious with the creamy rich gravy and fruity
cranberry sauce. The sides were really a highlight on their own and were
beautifully cooked and seasoned.
To
end the festive meal, choose your dessert from a choice of Bread & Butter Pudding, Passion Fruit Mousse or Christmas Pudding with Vanilla Sauce. The
Christmas Pudding is a very traditional and much-beloved dessert at the British
table. It is dark, rich, sweet and utterly divine with vanilla sauce. The
beautiful presentation of individual mini Christmas pudding is perfect and
pretty!
Coffee and Mints to complete the festive meal.
Thyme Kiara Children Menu
Every
little one also deserves their own festive menu! Zyda and team whips up little
ones’ favorites completed with beverage, main course and dessert.
Fruit Cordial or Fresh Juices for the little ones.
Children
main courses to choose from are kids’ favorites of Creamy Turkey Pasta, Roasted Turkey Pizza, Beef Burger with Fries, Bangers
and Mash with Gravy or Roasted
Turkey with Mashed Potatoes and Steamed Vegetables.
Tender
slices of roasted turkey on marinara sauce and melted cheese on crisp pizza
base proved to be a winner with littles one every time.
One
cannot also go wrong with pasta with kids. This one has silky pasta strands
coated in creamy white sauce with slices of roasted turkey in the Creamy Turkey Pasta.
Bangers and Mash with Gravy is such a British classic and works
every time for diners of all ages!
Kids
get a choice of dessert of Cheese Cake
or Brownies with Chocolate Sauce and
Vanilla Ice Cream. Cheese and chocolate is a guaranteed hit with kids… and
adults too! We stole a few bites and love these classic desserts…
