Ringing in Good Fortune with Nobu’s
CNY Omakase
With
the Year of the Rooster around the corner, the season to indulge is also here.
Indulge at the finest Japanese restaurant in the city with an unforgettable
view of the majestic Twin Tower. This New Lunar Year, Nobu Kuala Lumpur invites you and your loved ones on a
gastronomical journey of senses with Executive Chef Phillip Leong’s Chinese New Year Omakase menu.
Experience
a sensory dining at the acclaimed new style Japanese –Peruvian cuisine set high
in Menara 3 Petronas tower amidst the buzzling metropolitan city. Chef Leong
and the culinary team have designed a special CNY themed Omakase 6-course menu to pay homage to the rich Chinese culture to
usher in a fiery and auspicious Year of the Rooster.
The
6-course Omakase kicks off with Satsuma
Mandarin Inryol. Unwind and set the mood for the festive meal with the
fruity mandarin based cocktail made with Mandarin Vodka, Martini Rosso, Cointreau and Satsuma Mandarin
Orange Puree. Exquisite and refreshing citrusy notes soothes the palate
with freshness of the festive season.
Opening
the Omakase with much prosperity is a masterpiece of 8 morsels of appetizers
featured in Zenzai Moriawase. Every
piece is carefully paired with all to evoke a firework of flavours and textures
in celebration of the festive holidays.
Zenzai Moriawase consists of Dragon Fruit Ceviche, Botan Ebi with Caviar, Arrow Root Chips with Tuna,
White Onion Amazu, Octopus Carpaccio, Oyster Oshitashi, Salmon New Style
and White Fish Roll Tiradito Style.
The
lightest fruity and citrus juice soaking brunoises of dragon fruit topped with
quinoa is certainly a delightful note to start with in Dragon Fruit Ceviche.
Botan Ebi with Caviar feels like a match made in heaven.
Sublime raw Botan shrimp marinated with a creamy spicy sauce and crowned with
tiny pearls of black caviar. Glorious jelly consistency with unctuous sweet and
spicy notes coupled with popping briny caviar made this bite feels utterly
luxurious and heavenly.
Arrow
root is a classic festive treat. Tuna tartare seasoned with umami savory note
hinted with a touch of heat in paired with crispy wafer thin arrow root chip.
Delish…
Amazu,
a traditional Japanese sweet and sour sauce, is paired with sweet crisp white
onion slices. Simple and acts as a nice palate cleanser between the appetizers.
Nobu’s
novel Octopus Carpaccio served with habanero
sauce and topped with dried miso is a revelation of flavours and texture.
Next,
we have a lush Oyster Oshitashi, raw
fresh oyster seasoned with a citrus dressing and finished with dancing bonito
flakes.
Another
signature on Nobu’s menu, the delicate flavour of salmon served in yuzu soy and
finished with a hot drizzle of new style oil. The Salmon New Style proved that the even the smallest bite can exude
big explosion of umami flavour in one bite.
Last
but not least, White Fish Roll Tiradito
Style features a white fish roll stuffed with bits of tastiness accented by
a tart yuzu sauce.
Inspired
by the tradition of CNY, the Nobu Style
Yee Sang with Sushi had each of us tossing in delight on our very own
personal yee sang. The Nobu Style Yee Sang Salad comes with Assorted Sashimi
with Ponzu Jelly & Yuzu Honey Sauce.
A
medley of radish, carrot, beetroot, ginger, cucumber, red and green seaweed
provides the platform for the salad while a trio of salmon, tuna and sea bream
sashimi lends the appeal of festive ‘yue’ to the dish. The salad texture is
enhanced with crispy fried yuba and tempura flakes. The yuzu honey sauce gave
the yee sang a vibrant lightness of sweet, savory and tangy notes.
With
the Yee Sang course, a HC House Special Roll
and a Salmon Skin Roll is served.
The
next course of Steamed Chilean Seabass
with Truffle Sansho Pepper Soy lends the auspicious ‘Nian Nian You Yue’ to
the meal. Chilean Seabass was exceptionally fresh with creamy and velvety
flesh, sweet and luscious flavours. The aroma of the truffle was beautifully
heady and intoxicating in pleasure. Sansho pepper sauce was so delicate that it
enhanced the fish harmoniously.
For
the meat course, Duck Breast with
Passion Fruit Teriyaki was a delicious twist of ingredients. Duck breast
cooked medium well and served with a tangy passion fruit teriyaki with passion
fruit seeds are finished with crunch carrot, cauliflower and Shimeji mushrooms
with crispy herbs.
To
end the savory course, the Clear Soup
with Fish Surimi was pure comforting. A robust dashi broth soothes the
palate together with a soft Shitake mushroom, a sprig of Enoki mushroom and a
tender fish surimi ball. Pleasure of comfort food evokes a sense of Zen to the
end of the lavish meal…
The
omakase’s finale was a crowd favorite of Goma
Bavarian & Almond Sponge with Mandarin Orange Sorbet. Such finesse in
presentation of the festive season inspired by mandarin, the pretty half ‘mandarin’
has sweet and nutty almond sponge topped with mousse before being covered in
chocolate. The sweetness is balanced with the refreshing sweet and tart
mandarin orange sorbet and completed with sesame crumbs.
Priced
at RM488++ per pax, the Chinese New Year
Omakase dinner is available from January 23rd to February 13th, 2017. The
Omakase includes a special Chinese New Year cocktail, Satsuma Mandarin or a
