Celebrating Father's Day at The Majestic Hotel KL

Happy Father's Day to all daddies out there! I hope you had a fantastic celebration with your family and loved ones.

Hubby's Father's Day began with the kids presenting him with their handmade cards.... kids these days sure are creative. Baby C made a special "pop-up heart" card while Baby D made one with a hidden "pull me" message. :)

Then, we headed to Hubby's favorite hotel in KL, The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur, for our Father's Day lunch. Since we're celebrating a special day, we all dressed to the nines. Colonial Cafe was offering a 5-course set menu for the occasion for RM180 nett per person. The ambiance, the service and the food were all top notch, and we certainly had a wonderful time here.

The amuse bouche of Smoked Salmon elegantly presented in a cocktail glass set the right mood for the afternoon. Consider our appetites amused.

Next came our appetizer, Beef Carpaccio with Arugula Salad & Infused Pesto Oil. It was my favorite dish of the afternoon... a well-executed classic featuring thinly sliced raw beef, arugula, balsamic vinegar and shaved Parmesan cheese. Extremely pleasing to the eye and tastebuds. :)

This was followed by the Pigeon Consomme, a clear, light and flavorful soup with poached quail egg and enoki mushrooms. BabySumoKids enjoyed this.

We loved the Coconut Sorbet which arrived next. The creamy, refreshing ice cream was served in a coconut shell, along with cocktail umbrellas... it definitely got BabySumoKids excited.

For mains, diners get a choice of Lamb Osso Bucco or Baked Black Garoupa. Osso bucco is usually made with veal shanks, however they have replaced it with lamb here, so this is essentially braised lamb shanks which I love. This is served with soft polenta and sauteed fresh vegetables (the chef kindly changed the kids portion from polenta to mash); the shanks were meaty and tender with a delicious sauce.

I also tried some of Hubby's fish dish, and I especially liked the spicy Asian spices topped on the baked fish. The fish is accompanied by three deep fried potato patties.

Baby C was delighted to see Cheese Cake on the menu as it's her favorite cake. The version here is a blueberry cheese cake topped with diced mango and fresh berries. And to finish off our meal, petit fours and coffee / tea. The staff also kindly printed out a family photo for us as a memento for this special day.
