Restaurant: The C. Club, Kuala Lumpur |
THE VIBE THE FOOD For appetisers, Chef Jimmy Liew a.k.a. sous chef did minor improvisation; soups were served as a combination of two mini starters. The Cream of Forest Mushroom with truffle chantilly or better known as the mushroom soup is definitely my all-time favourite. Not forgetting the crouton, added texture to the soup. Well, it does require good taste buds to differentiate |
the delicate flavours of the soup consisting three different varieties, namely shitake, button and shimaji. The other appetiser also came out wonderfully; The Shellfish bisque aromatised with a dash of cognac had a strong shellfish bitter-like taste, bobbing with scallops, crabmeat and prawns.
Next to arrive was The Foie Gras; a well prepared version of the standard noted for its less gamey, musky nutty and subtle smooth flavour, paired with scallops, onion marmalade and pickled pumpkin was a near perfect starter. Like any good marriage, this combination provided both diversity and harmony.
| Totally seduced by meat, it was time to try some old school French preparation for the main course! The well-browned Duck Confit turned out to be juicy and tender accompanied the savoury flavours of the mashed potatoes and French beans; all laid to rest on a nest-liked potato basket (reminded me of the Beijing bird nest stadium!). I was in total awe when I saw the Seared Cod with Aglio Olio Fettucini. It was served together with the poached asparagus, mushrooms, coriander miso hollandaise and a dash rosemary wine.
For dessert, Chef Jimmy Liew recommended me to go for the Sinful trio chocolate delights, which was smooth and creamy. Thanks to the combination of the dark layers of dark chocolate sandwiched with chocolate mousse and chocolate ice-cream. Besides, I was also adventurous to take on the The C. Club Supermisu which was served too with crunchy almond praline, raspberry coulis and dusted cocoa powder. Totally divine! |

Smiles can be seen all around at the C. Club. The friendly and attentive service staffs are quick to tend to one’s needs. One can easily strike up a conversation with them or if you prefer privacy, they will go into stealth mode but all the while attending to your needs. It is a delight to find a restaurant like the C. Club that prides itself in showing an access point to the finer things in life. Prices are relatively reasonable considering that it is a ‘fine dining’ restaurant.
And of course, The C. Club is perfect for a romantic night out especially on Valentine’s Day!
