YOUR GUIDE TO THE BEST MOONCAKES IN KL FOR MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL 2021
Lifestyle Asia – With the Mid-Autumn Festival happening on September 21, it’s time to think about this year’s celebration – and of course no celebration is complete without mooncakes. Notable hotels have come up with the most exquisite designs and delectable flavours this year. Mooncakes aren’t just for a sweet indulgence, they also count as stunning gifts to your loved ones. Imagine the smile on their faces when they see this arriving to their doorstep.
8 HOTEL FOOD DELIVERY MENUS TO ORDER NOW IF YOU MISS DINING IN DURING STAYCATIONS
Buro 24/7 – Whether you miss Sabayon’s Signature Roast or simply crave good roast beef, it’s now available for you to have at home. The whole beef OP (oven-prepared) rib is juicy, tender, and has a rich mouthfeel that’s amazing with the accompanying sauces including warm beef jus, Béarnaise sauce, and stone-ground mustard. Adding to the gastronomic experience is honey roasted root vegetables, beautifully puffed Yorkshire puddings, and Sabayon’s famous sourdough dinner rolls with hand-crafted Yuzu butter.
“With gourmet food—especially when it’s from a top hotel—while taste is important, so is presentation, texture and aroma. You’re paying top dollar for quality ingredients and a sensorial experience. Crunchy sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, squash, and pecan nuts contribute pops of colour to the dish. What they also bring to the table are sweet nutty overtones that pair well with the rosemary, thyme, marjoram, and other secret ingredients added to the meat for 24 hours of wet ageing. Beautifully charred and with just the right amount of fat, the beef has a mouthwatering aroma in addition to a rustic flavour.”
13 OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVES FOR COFFEE, FOOD, DRINKS AND PHOTOGRAPHY IN KUALA LUMPUR
Travel Mishmash – On top of my list features Étoile. This café is so great that I also toyed with the idea of devoting one whole post to this and only spot. No kidding, it really is that awesome. Clearly this is an incredible fresh starter on the KL’s café and dining scene and for all the good reasons.
So what’s the charm that other places don’t have? Despite a certain degree of fanciness – and trust me I don’t indulge in fancy stuff – it’s just the way Étoile wraps it in an amazing elegance, which is unpretentious, unobtrusive and genuinely welcoming. You won’t feel inadequate here. This new star in KL dining is simply nonchalantly unique. In addition, leaving the beautiful decor and tastefully designed space aside, you can’t but notice the professionalism of the staff which I haven’t encountered anywhere else in Malaysia nor KL in the entire 6 years of my existence here. What’s more, it surprisingly improves even if you become a regular.
