It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like
Christmas!
Tis
the season to indulge, so celebrate this beautiful Christmas at new heights in
style. Nobu Kuala Lumpur presents a Christmas Omakase menu this festive
season to ring in the cheer with gastronomical delights.
Culinary
gourmands will feast on new style Japanese-Peruvian dishes crafted by Executive
Chef Philip Leong and team with a 7-course
Omakase menu that is available for lunch or dinner. There’s no better view
of the city that at Nobu Kuala Lumpur
where one catches full glorious view of The Twin Tower and all its glittering city
lights.
Set
the mood for the festive with a glass of Cava
with your loved ones while you wait for a feast to come…
Zensai Moriawase is a kaleidoscope of flavors and
textures. Showcasing signature bites under Chef Philip’s repertoire, start off
with a shot of Oyster Shooter. Bold moreish
flavor reigns in a one mouthful. The unctuous briny note of the fresh oysters
coupled with the umami flavor of the sauce makes a great starter. Followed by a
roll of glorious sweet Yellowtail
Jalapeno sashimi enhanced by a steep heat of jalapeno in ponzu sauce.
Moving
to a beautiful and artistic piece of Salmon
Kelp Roll that sits in tasty soy dressing. Salmon sashimi wrapped with kelp
and stuffed with Oba leave and carrots is a mouthful of delicious flavors. The
best of the lot has to be the liver of the sea in Ankimo with Caviar. A luscious disc of monk fish liver is paired
with a moreish miso sauce and topped with tiny black caviar pearls. Heavenly
creamy and rich, the disc of liver is utterly superb in flavors. A simple but
tasty Tuna Sashimi Salad completed
the course nicely.
One
would never dine at Nobu without
savoring the freshest cut of the sea on rice. The Seasonal Assorted Sushi is the epitome of Japanese cuisine. The finest
and freshest cut of Chu Toro, Kinmadai
and Amaebi Sushi hits all the right
notes and ended with salty umami globules of Salmon Roe with fresh wasabi on sushi rice.
The
prettiest dish of the course would be the Madai
Sashimi Dry Miso Salad. Slivers of beetroot cured Japanese sea bream is
paired with tiny cubes of crisp apples, micro green salad, edible flowers and a
yuzu olive oil dressing with a sprinkling of dry miso powder. Light and citrusy
with a tasty umami note from the dry miso, the salad is a welcoming course of
freshness after the sushi and sashimi.
Indulgence
is the perfect excuse for the festive feast and the Konbu Dashi Poached Lobster with crispy watercress and watercress
sauce fits the bill perfectly. The king of crustacean is gorgeously poached
with much tenderness in a konbu dashi broth. The sweetness of the lobster goes
so well with the crispy watercress, Ikura daikon, lobster cracker and
watercress sauce.
The
feast continues in full height of lavishness with the main course of Kobe with Tamari Pepper Sauce, served
with soba-quinoa risotto and caramelized fig. The ultimate meat sensation is definitely
the thick cut of perfectly grilled kobe beef with its glorious marbling of
flavors. The kobe beef alone was divine. The piquant Tamari pepper sauce added
a nice bonus of flavors while the unique soba-quinoa risotto gave the dish a
different note of textures. Perhaps the caramelized fig was an afterthought but
it definitely worked so well as a sweet palate cleanser to the rich beef.
Cold Inaniwa noodles ended the course with sheer simplicity
and delight.
On
the sweet note, there is the pretty Christmas
Forest. Showcasing black goma & green tea olive oil sponge, tempura gen-mai
cha ice cream & berries crumble, it was indeed a festive color of
sweetness. The tempura brown rice tea ice cream is delicious with toasty notes
and lightly crispy. The sponge is great for mopping up the ice cream while the
tart plum wine jelly balanced up the cream of the dessert well.
