Feasting Night

Last Friday Night. It was the night for a customer dinner / gathering. All of us met up at Jaya One that evening after work. 

Our customer brought this. Phew, it tasted very different from the common whisky brands around in the market and it was full of 'ummphh' - to me at least (cos' I am not a drinker; or shall I say I drink lesser alcholic drinks these days).

The dishes prepared by the main chef / restaurant owner were not listed in the menu. So, they are unique and don't ask me for the names. All I can provide is the description of each served.

This appetizer consists of a fresh , naked tomato served in the wine glass, salted grilled broad beans, boiled vegetables and baked escargot with cheese.

It looked like a garden snail, doesn't it?

This was a combination of sashimi. There were a varieties of it - salmon toro, normal salmon, yellow tail, octopus, maguro, scallop and 2 more which I am not sure of. All I know is I whacked quite a lot of them. : P

Fried tempura - asparagus and prawn.

Ok, this was one unique dish. It is soup, braised using bamboo shoots and ladies fingers, topped with fried tiny fishes. The fried tiny fishes tasted like grilled squid.

Next was roast lamb. Ooo lala....the lamb was superb. Meat was tender and juicy. The lamb doesn't have the lamb smell which some people cannot accept.

This was beef. Can't tell you much because I don't eat beef. Medium rare as shown in the picture?!

It was dessert time after the beef. Huge Japanese strawberries and apples. Oooohh......so yummy. Way better than those from Cameron Highlands!

This was served after the dessert because we felt it wasn't quite 'enough' to eat. : P  So, our customer told the chef to come up with another dessert / snack to go with our sake and whisky. Yup, I had both drinks that night....oh, three drinks actually - including the hot green tea.

The below is fried vietnamese rice paper wrapped with cheese. Another ooo lala.......

Ok, finally and I repeat, finally we had the grand finale as it was already 11.30pm. The restaurant was already closed, left with us only in the VIP room. The chef / owner gave us a plate of roast pork (siew yoke - yup, we had that in a Japanese restaurant. The roast pork was awesome! It actually melts in your mouth), pickled radish, a bowl of pickled jelly fish and ice cream! A total of 5 flavours with 2 scoops each to feed the 10 of us! 

Honestly, the most yummylicious ice cream flavours were white sesame and black sesame. I didn't quite fancy the green tea. Somehow the taste was different.

So, if you are interested to try out this restaurant, here are the details. I don't guarantee that what is served on the menu will be as yummy as what we had as they were customised; but you can still try. : )

I had a great night eating and chatting, that I had about 4 messages unread and a missed call from my darling. *Ooops... which I did return his call when I took out from my bag and saw them. By the time I got home, it was slightly passed 12 midnight.
