Food is essential for survival, but often times the act of consuming is done to simply get by, and we tend to overlook the finer things in life; in this case, savouring every mouthful mindfully and thoroughly reawakening the pleasure senses through the sustenance.. you get the point.
Hence, the Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur is championing this appreciation culture for fine foods à la the French way through an epicurean Guest Chef series, whereby some of the world’s most celebrated chefs are invited to showcase their unique skills and signature cuisines by way of exclusive dinner menus available for a limited time only.
Occurring quarterly, the Guest Chef series by the Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur this time around has had the pleasure to welcome Singapore-based Justin Quek, a culinary maestro of Franco-Asian cuisine, helming Marina Bay Sand’s notable Sky on 57 and his latest venture, Grignoter, a Bordeaux wine bar.
The four-day promotion at The Library featuring a four-course dinner menu, complemented with a selection of exquisite wines, will highlight Quek’s distinct flair for marrying his precision of classic French techniques with a dash of contemporary while permeating his Chinese heritage into his remarkable craft.
The specially crafted menu spotlights premium ingredients, flavours and techniques, comprising some of his signature dishes such as Duck Foie Gras Xiao Long Bao, Lobster with Shao Xing cream, and Cauliflower Puree with Oscietra Caviar and White Chocolate, alongside a decadent dessert of Chocolate and Mint Floating Island with Caramelised Crispy Rice.
The Franco-Asian cuisine four-course dinner menu curated by Guest Chef Justin Quek is available for four days only from July 12 to July 15 2017 (7pm to 11pm). It is priced at RM300 nett (inclusive of 6% GST) per pax, and RM450 nett with wine pairing. For more details and reservations, kindly contact +603-21428000 or dining@ritzcarlton.com.my.
