Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar, KL: Dinner Menu

Whether you are out for a romantic evening or to celebrate a special occasion with your loved ones, Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar provides the perfect ambiance for a special night, with fantastic food and service to match. 

For weekday dinner, the restaurant offers a Tasting Menu (RM228 nett) whereby diners can choose 2 appetizers and dessert or main course and dessert; Sage Menu (RM278 nettt) for appetizer, main course and dessert, or a  4-course Chef's Special Menu (RM338 nett). 

We went for the Chef's Special Menu which comes with 2 appetizers, main course, dessert, coffee/tea and a complimentary glass of wine.  On Saturday evenings, diners can enjoy a 4-course menu along with complimentary glass of wine AND choice of single malt or whisky for RM298 nett. 

Our evening begins with Chef Daniel's signature appetizer - the Hotate with caviar, with a cold truffled potato and leek vichyssoise. Beautifully delicate, it was an amazing start to our meal here.

For the remaining three courses, you can choose from a luxe selection of French-Japanese appetizers, mains and desserts.


Appetizer

Thin sliced Wagyu Rump with Shaved Truffle and Chives - simply wow! The Wagyu carpaccio was melt-in-the-mouth delicious, elevated further with shaved black truffles and truffle oil. 

Somen Noodle with Botan Ebi, Hokkaido Uni and Wasabi Aioli - the Japanese influence in this is undeniable. Served cold, I especially loved the fresh sweet prawn and creamy Hokkaido uni (sea urchin). 

Seared Duck Foie Gras with Sea Scallop, Avocado and Goma Tuile - two of my favourite things in one dish. The scallop was impressively huge and juicy, perfectly complemented by the luscious foie gras and creamy avocado slices. 

Royale of Tarabagani with Abalone and Ohba Broth - our daughter, the soup lover, savoured every spoonful of this light, flavorful dish. Made ultra luxurious with the sliced abalone and red king crab and silky smooth egg custard. 

Palate cleanser

Main Course

Wagyu Score 6 Striploin and Yuzukoshou - beef lovers, this is not to be missed! Beautifully seared and cooked to medium perfection, topped with Wagyu fats and served with zucchini and grilled asparagus, beef jus, and yuzukoshou. So so good!

Glazed White Cod with Tiger Prawn and Crustacean Oil - firm, flaky cod fish with sweet delicate flesh and crispy skin served with two large tiger prawns and local king vegetables (sayur raja).

Beef Rossini with Foie Gras and Red Wine Sauce - since there were already two orders of the Wagyu from our table, I decided to try another beef dish from the menu. The beef rossini, consisting of a tender, chunky piece of filet mignon, again cooked to medium perfection, is topped with foie gras (one can never have too much foie!) and a red wine sauce.

Dessert

Blue Cheese Panna Cotta with Vanilla Ice Cream - wobbly creamy goodness with a touch of blue cheese for extra oomph.

Kahlua Torte with Mascarpone Cheese Mousseline and Tia Maria Ice Cream - rich and moist chocolate torte laced with Kahlua.

Chef Daniel’s Soufflé: - Grand Marnier, Chocolate, Calvados, Cointreau or Wasabi - the kids went for the chocolate souffle and they loved it! Light and airy, the stuff of dreams.

Good news!

Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar, KL: Craftsman Menu

Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar is no stranger to the KL fine dining scene. Under the helm of Chef Daniel Cheong, this stalwart is still going strong after more than 10 years in operation and is well-loved for its elegant, refined French-Japanese cuisine.

Earlier last week, we went to Sage for a spot of daytime dating while the kids were in school. Just like the good old times! Service is still excellent as ever, with all SOPs and social distancing adhered to. Currently for lunch, they offer a 4-course Lunch Set Menu (RM150) and 5-course Craftsman Menu (RM298). We went for the Craftsman Menu, which comes with more premium ingredients such as Wagyu and foie gras as well as a complimentary glass of red or white wine. Similar to the lunch set menu, the Craftsman Menu also changes on a weekly basis - first released as the Plat Du Jour menu every Saturday for dinner, and then served throughout the week as the lunch Craftsman Menu.

To start, Chef Daniel always serves one of his signature cold appetizers. A deceptively simple soba served with thin slices of kombu-jime shima aji with a dash of their divine truffle soy. So exquisite... one of my all-time favourites! While waiting for our next course, we enjoyed their freshly baked breads with the signature basil dip and sipped on their welcome "virgin mojito" drink. 

The next appetizer, is a luscious slab of pan seared foie gras with Muscat grape and red wine reduction, followed by a palate cleanser of zesty Bentong Ginger and wild honey sorbet.

For mains, diners have a choice of three different dishes to choose from - usually a selection of fish, lamb or beef. We both went for the Australian Wagyu striploin with chasseur sauce. Simply irresistible, the Wagyu was cooked to perfection... every mouthful a delight to savour.

For a sweet end to our meal, we had the Belgium white chocolate torte with white truffle ice cream (which is totally amazing btw!) with your choice of coffee or tea.

Brasserie Léon, TTDI, KL: Steak Frites, Raclette & More!

Tucked away on the first floor of The Greens Terrace, TTDI is Brasserie Léon, a charming French brasserie, specialising in steak frites, raclette and more!

The brasserie is casual, welcoming yet elegant. Natural sunlight streams in to the brasserie through the large glass windows. A small opening allows diners to peek into the kitchen and watch the chefs at work.

Helming the kitchen here is chef-owner Geoffroi Herin, who hails from Lyon in France. The menu is unfussy and straightforward, showcasing the essential, classic French favourites.

Bites

Start with the half-dozen baked shell-less escargots with garlic butter (RM16.90), a classic French delicacy, perfectly executed here at Brasserie Léon. Earthy and tender, with a delicious garlicky flavour. Baby D was feeling adventurous, so he had his first escargot... and he loved it! We mopped up the rest of yummy garlic butter sauce with bread.

Brie is my all-time favourite cheese, so the Deep fried brie cheese (RM15.90) with red onion chutney was right up my alley. In fact, the kids thoroughly enjoyed it too... oozy melty cheese, encased in a crisp shell and complemented beautifully with the sweet chutney.

One of Chef Geoff's signature dishes is the Flamed cured mackerel (RM13.90) with cucumber and shallots vinaigrette. Fresh, zingy, with a slight smokiness from being torched, this was a lovely, appetizing way to start the meal. You can also add-on crusty, homemade bread (RM5.90), served with homemade butter to go with your meal.

Coming soon to the menu are the Deep fried beef cromesquis, which according to Chef Geoff are French's version of nuggets or croquette. Minced beef is dipped in batter and deep fried, and served with smoked paprika mayo.

The specialties

A true-blue brasserie, Brasserie Léon serves the classic French steak and fries, Steak frites. Here, diners have the option of either Australian grain-fed beef striploin (RM49.90 for 180g) or Australian grain-fed Angus beef striploin (RM79.90 for 180g). The steaks are expertly grilled to our preferred doneness, sliced and then served with their secret signature sauce (containing herbs and butter), homemade triple-cooked fries and a green salad.

The fries are made using Russet potatoes, and are triple-cooked to produce crispy yet fluffy fries. They are first blanched, then fried on a low heat and finally deep fried on a high heat.

Another French favourite is the Le Poulet Frites (RM19.90). At Brasserie Léon, they serve half a spring chicken, which is first smoked and then roasted. The tender, juicy chicken is served with a traditional chicken jus, French fries and salad.

Roasted spring chicken

New on the menu is the Roasted salmon served with a beurre blanc sauce, with hints of smoked paprika. Similarly, this is served with French fries and salad. Perfect for seafood lovers!

Raclette

Are you a cheese lover? Then, raclette is the answer to your dreams.

A new addition to the menu, the raclette cheese wheel sits proudly in the centre of the brasserie. Diners can choose to have it in five different ways - traditional, or with poutine, roast chicken, smoked duck breast or streaky beef.

We had the Traditional Raclette (RM32.90), whereby melted raclette cheese is scraped over steamed potatoes, onion pickles and gherkins. Simple and so goooooood!

We also had Raclette with Streaky Beef (RM44.90), also served with baked potatoes, onion pickles, and gherkin. Delish!

Diners can also choose to have scraped raclette cheese (100g for RM22.90) on any of their favourites from the menu.

Desserts

End your meal on a sweet note, with one of three desserts available, or go for all three. Why not?

Choose from the vanilla-flavoured Creme Brulee (RM9.90), or the 70% dark Chocolate Mousse (RM10.90) - both rich, creamy and indulgent. There is also a Tiramisu Verrine (RM10.90), with homemade espresso genoise layered with mascarpone cheese.

Pork-free.

Opening times: Lunch 12pm to 3pm; Dinner 6.30pm to 10pm. Closed on Tuesday.

Location: Brasserie Léon, 1-1 Greens Terrace, Jalan Wan Kadir 3, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, 60000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Street parking (RM0.80 per hour) or park inside Greens Terrace).
