We were invited to Le Mei Chinese Restaurant for a preview of the CNY set menus and what a feast we had! We started off with the prosperity toss, aka lo hei, with the Salmon and Ikura Yee Sang with green tosaka nori, crispy shredded treasures and blackcurrant-plum dressing, followed by a comforting, nourishing bowl of Double-boiled silkie fowl soup with fish maw, porcini mushrooms and dried scallops.

Next, we had the auspicious Braised whole abalone and sea cucumber, black mushroom and premium oyster sauce - an absolute opulent treat. One of our favourite dishes of the evening, the Lemongrass Marinated Roasted Crispy Duck was extremely well executed, revealing a thin crisp skin, with juicy and tender meat.

Turbot fish is not commonly served in Chinese restaurants in Malaysia, so we were pleasantly surprised to try this here at Le Mei. The firm, flaky turbot fish was steamed along with Hunan fermented chillies; a spicy, salty delight. Fried rice is usually passed over for the other dishes on the menu but I have to say the Fried organic brown rice with sakura shrimps, seafood and foie gras was so good, we wished we could have another bowl. For a sweet end, we were served a Double boiled nostoc jelly dessert soup, with snow pear, snow fungus and red dates along with Deep fried glutinous rice balls and Mochi strawberry with cream cheese.

Sunday Sky Brunch at Sabayon, EQ Kuala Lumpur

 Elevate your weekend with the Sunday Sky Brunch at Sabayon, the award-winning fine dining restaurant in EQ Kuala Lumpur. Located on the 51st floor of the hotel, immerse yourself in a luxe lunch complemented by spectacular panoramic views of the city and stellar service. 

Sabayon, usually an adult-only dining establishment, welcomes young children on Sundays, offering a 2-course menu for them, taking into account their appetites and preferences. For the adults, a 4-course meal consisting of an entrée, starter, main course and dessert awaits.

Start your meal on a high note with entrée options such as Tuna crudo, Eggplant & rock melon, or Hokkaido oyster in panko crumbs, served with pea custard and yuzu gel and salmon roe. Apart from the Hokkaido oyster, we tried everything on the menu and was delighted with the overall quality of the menu. 

We absolutely loved the Tuna crudo, nori and sesame crusted tuna topped with ikura (salmon roe) and sesame vinagrette served with with a pea crisp. Hubby was equally impressed with the Eggplant & Melon, which showcased different textures and flavours. 

Starter options include Butternut risotto, Veal tartare, or Seared Hokkaido scallops with roasted cauliflower puree. The pumpkin risotto was perfectly al dente, served with batons of sweet miso glazed squash. The veal tartare, sandwiched between compressed apples was served with apple foam and caramelised onions. I had the Hokkaido scallops, lightly seared and served with cauliflower puree, shaved cauliflower and tonburi. 

For the main course, diners can choose between chicken, beef or salmon trout. The Corn-fed chicken terrine with black truffle was a pleasant surprise, and we were happy that we did not give this a miss. Tender chicken with crisp skin, a delicious sauce au supreme and black truffles to further elevate the dish. 

The braised beef brisket was fork tender,  and comes with silky smooth pomme puree and a noisette lemon emulsion.  The salmon trout was pan seared to perfection,  served with beurre blanc, asparagus, and avruga caviar... this is truly simplicity at its best.

End your meal with a selection of cake and pastries, or a cheese platter featuring a selection of imported cheese, honeycomb, and other accompaniments. 

At the end of the meal, the wait staff presented us with a framed family photo as a memento of our wonderful dining experience here at Sabayon. One of the best Sundays we have spent together this year for sure.

For the two-course child brunch, young guests can choose from tomato soup or French toast as a starter, as well as steak hache with mashed potatoes and onion gravy, creamy linguine pasta, or fish and chips with mushy peas and house-made tartare sauce as the main. Dessert is a choice between strawberry parfait, chocolate tart with vanilla gelato, or a sorbet duo.

The 4-course adult brunch is priced at RM189+ and the 2-course child brunch is priced at RM68+. 
Sunday Sky Brunch is available only on Sundays, from 12pm to 3pm. Reservations are highly recommended, and can be made via the EQ F&B reservations WhatsApp at +6012-278 9239.
