The following were the Christmas Dinner Menu that I have savour during my review:

APPETIZER

Soft shell crab salad with sesame dressing

I kinda fall in love with this salad after savour my first bites. Love the sesame dressing. It is a perfect combination of lettuce, tomatoes, seaweed, onion, fodder radish, fish roe and soft shell crab.

SOUP

Chicken and Corn Soup

This chicken and corn soup is a creamy soup. If you love creamy type of soup, you will definitely love this. You will definitely taste the chunky carrot, chicken dice, onion and carrot inside the soup. The bun is very crunchy at the outer part and soft in the interior.

MAIN COURSE

As for the main course you can choose from either one of the following:

David's Roast Poulet

It is basically the roasted chicken maryland. I believed that this roasted chicken has been marinated with several different spices. Then it was coasted with different type of spices gravy. The gravy itself has a very strong herbs aroma. Actually I prefer to have it without the gravy. 

The side dish for this main course consist of corn, steam vegetables (carrot & cauliflower) and roasted herbs potatoes.

OR

Pan seared grouper

For the fish lover, perhaps you can try this pan seared grouper. The grouper is not too dry at all. It came with the fish roe, steam vegetable (cauliflower, broccoli and carrot), wasabi mayo and potato croquette.

I love the wasabi mayo especially it goes well with the potato croquette.

OR

Herb crusted rack of lamb

The lamb is well coated with different kind of herbs. The plate of lamb that we savored was cooked to medium rare. The side dish to go with this dish is potato fondant, steam vegetable (cauliflower, broccoli and carrot), corn and lamb sauce.

DESSERT

Chocolate Brownie with caffee vergnano 1882 espresso chocolate ice cream

Desserts are irresistible and is the favourite to most people. So am I. With this Christmas menu, you are entitle to savour the chocolate brownie. The brownie is being served warm and came with single scoop of caffee vergnano 1882 espresso chocolate ice cream. Just hope that they can serve double scoop of the ice cream. Yummylicious!

Christmas EVE Dinner Menu(RM188++/pax)

 AMUSE BOUCHE

Turkey Croquette

It's a small bite size of turkey croquette with sriracha mayonnaise. It has a hint of spiciness as they use the sriracha sauce. 

APPETIZER

Arugula salad with beef bacon and tempura oyster mushroom

If you love balsamic, you will definitely love this salad. It consists of rockets, crispy beef bacon, fodder radish, onion, and tempura oyster mushroom topped with toast hazelnut and balsamic reduction vinaigrette. It's a nice choice of appetizer to start with.

SOUP

Chicken Veloute with eryngii mushroom soup

This soup is a bit mild if you compare to the creamy type of soup. However, I love this soup very much. The soup is top with two slices of chicken breast and eryngii mushroom + chive.

MAIN COURSE

As for the main course you can choose from either one of the following:

Traditional roast turkey breast

Traditionally, Christmas usually will lead you to turkey. This main course consists of slices of roast turkey breast with purified apple chutney and gravy. It's hard to differentiate between apple chutney and gravy from the photo as both colour are rather close. Apple chutney tastes rather sweet. The side dish for this main course consist of toasted herb potato, broccoli and cherry tomatoes.

OR

Pan seared Norwegian Salmon and Scallop

Salmon lover, you will definitely love this pan seared Norwegian salmon as it was cook to the perfect timing. The salmon is not too dry at all. And the scallop is very juicy. This came with asparagus, fodder radish, chive potato cream, tomato tartar and miso hollandaise sauce.

OR

Rack of lamb with braised lamb pie

The lamb is very tender in texture and the sauces (balsamic lamb sauce) goes well with the lamb. The lamb pie is one of the attractions in this dish. A small lamb pie is very cute in size and nice in taste. It is also glazed with onion and confit cherry tomato.

PRE DESSERT

 Ginger and lime granita

It is a very nice and smoothing pre dessert after all the food intake. It has the hint of ginger and lime tastes. 

DESSERT

 Chocolate Mousse Cake

This is a very nice dessert to end the meal. The chocolate mousse cake is very nicely baked and it was served with caramelised banana underneath the mousse cake. So you will taste the chocolate mousse cake together with the banana. Apart from that, it came with caramelised pop corn, coconut gelee and fresh fruits (strawberry, grapes and berries).
