Spice Restaurant
went to Spice Restaurant at Concorde Hotel on saturday night to celebrate our birthday. yea yea... our birthdays have past and its the first weekend which we are both free from friends & family commitments.
i love the food there. they are reasonably priced for western food, nice ambience (can't read a book but bright enough to see what you're eating), live music, friendly staff and in the golden triangle / klcc vicinity.
They have this lovely set meal... you choose a starter/soup + main + dessert and the usual coffee/tea for under RM100... (ok, it's RM99++)... still it's 2 digits prior to the tax and service charges. The chef tends to give complimentary servings... whatchamacallit... amuse-bouche?!?
Anyway, we have some crab balls or soemthing like that from the chef this time... nicely fried... still crispy on the outside, soft in the inside and not oily.
we shared the appertiser; salmon & mushroom... big piece of salmon and lotsa mushroom soak in some wine, could easily just have that for dinner... am surprised with their portion since most expensive restaurant tends to give huge plate, lotsa decoration and only a small mouthful of food as main and cost a bomb. salmon was done nicely again and very very fresh.. you can taste the sweetness of the salmon flesh as you bite into it.
for mains, we have a sirloin steak (we like it done medium) and ordered a plate of fettucine. i like the steak but not the fettucine... was quite disappointed with the pasta actually since we have had nice amuse-bouche, apertiser and scrumptious steak. i think our local pan mee from the coffeeshop taste much better than the fettucine.
we shared the dessert and have an apple tart. the chef only bake the tart after you order it and we can see that it's no frozen tarts that they use. fresh apples baked till it's slightly crispy served together with creamy vanilla icecream and they use those gourmet icecream, much better than the haagen dazs icecream that we have the night before.
coffee was a bit too strong though.
was surprised that there was only 2 other parties in the restaurant during our dinner, on a saturday night. the musician (Kevin) belted out songs of different varieties, from elton john to some jazz numbers to some classical music.. 2nd half of our dinner, we were the only patron so it felt somewhat special that he play and sang all those songs just for us. the head waitress came over to our table to chat (presumbly they were bored with their duties or curious to see two of us who are dressed pretty much like our usual self wandering in to their restaurant for dinner), maybe they just want to chat to us to gauge if we have the $$ to pay.
after dinner, we went for a walk to klcc. weather was great, no rain, no haze and not too hot. we walked in the park till the guards start shooing everyone off at 10pm. we dare not walk too close in case there's any morality policemen around... you know the infamous case where 2 youths were charge for indecent act of hugging and kissing each other.... anyway, that's another story and i shall not spoil my lovely blog entry on this... another day to visit this topic perhaps...
(i shall try to transfer the pictures from my camera phone to the computer later on. visit this entry in the future to check out the photos of KLCC night scene as seen from the park at night).
totally a fantastic evening.
