Western cuisine. What do you normally think
about when this two words pop up? Do you think about premium cuts of beef? Or
juicy pork chops? Or even roasted chickens? Well, here in Malaysia, western
cuisine is more like a celebratory meal rather than a usual every day dinner –
birthdays, anniversary, dates and other special occasions. So, what defines a
good western cuisine meal? All those, with the added bonus of friendly
conversations among good friends and bonding time among family dinner.
Nestled inside the perfect combination of style
and elegance, comfort and five star luxury of Mandarin Oriental, Mandarin Grill
is no different than its parent building’s attributes. Overlooking the beauty
and calmness of KLCC Park, the elegant décor sports beautiful chandeliers,
contemporary floor to ceiling windows and a cosy fire place – all those in a
blend with oriental styled design or in other words, premium level western
cuisine. Ambience-wise, it is pretty much what you would expect from a top
notch restaurant in a five star hotel, spacious, luxurious and cosy.
One
would expect good service from a place like this. Well, you would not get good
service but typical best in the business service – from front entrance
greetings to in-depth knowledge of the menu to a never empty wine glass. Dress
code here is pretty straightforward, smart elegant attire with closed shoes.
Among their menu highlights includes, the Breton Lobster Roll served with milk
bun, calamansi cream, Thai basil, celery BBQ tapioca chips and the Beef Tartar,
