Midsummer Nights Feast - Space element.

As luck would have it, dummy also won a dinner for 2 worth RM770 at Midsummer Nights Feast courtesy of YTL and Starhill Gallery. It's his own idea, his own slogan, he very much deserved this.

We didn't expect there would be 5 winners in the first place, only thought there would be ONE. Pretty embarrassing to come back again, but the menu was too tempting! lol

Since I took Fire element on Friday, he took the Space element on Saturday July 2. Here's the menu by Chef Wai, YTL's very own Corporate Executive Chef.

A little sweet, refreshing welcome drink. Some fruit juice I guess.

His favourite element is actually water.

Crispy creamy thing that we both enjoyed! I only know of ice-cream gelato. This is not sweet but salty. haha

Foie gras mollet. Our first time trying foie gras, and unfortunately this will be my last. I cannot stand the taste of it! Oh dear I shudder just to recall back the smell. When I first put it in my mouth, it was kind of good - creamy, flavourful, and the "nest" tasted great. But then the after-taste killed me. :( Duck/goose liver is 10x worse than chicken liver!

Tuna, with refreshing kumquat taste. Which was nice, but it couldn't match Chef Jason's halibut. heh

Wagyu sirloin!! Super awesome! I really love wagyu's gummy texture, really smooth and almost melts in the mouth. The fork just went right through it so easily haha. But I think the wagyu I once had grilled on hot stone tastes somewhat better. Anyway the urchin-salted yolk glaze was delicious and the scallop potato was absolutely HEAVENLY it might even just win over the wagyu! Seriously what potato is that so godly!

Valrhona chocolate truffle with bits of cotton candy! So cute! 3 chocolate balls - one milk chocolate, one coconut and one coffee. Normal tasting desserts are still the best!

This time we took their coffee offer, which was damn nice! Just put in milk and 2 cubes of sugar and PERFECTO! Even though I'm not an expert coffee drinker, I could taste the difference. ♥

We were leaving to catch our movie, when the YTL media came and asked for interview. Dummy took the job while I observed haha.

The live band.

Camwhoring.



Another day of great service and food. Thanks so much to the organisers, I finally got a glimpse of how fine dining feels like and how foie gras tastes like too haha. These 2 days were really an eye-opening experience for me. I'm humbled. :)
