The Glass Grill & Bar (KK)

Well, throughout my lifetime, this is the first time I am celebrating Valentine's Day in the land below the wind, KK as it coincides with Chinese New Year holidays. After searching all over for more affordable Valentine's Day package, we finally found this!

The Glass is kinda popular here as a scenic and romantic venue where almost every customer are couples except for the occasional families. The thing about KK is that they have few places like this where the price is quite reasonable too at RM 150 per couple. We chanced upon the package while shopping at Suria Mall KK yesterday on 13/2/2018. Apparently, though we made our reservation for a table at the glass window, they forgot to set up the Valentine's Day decor and led us to the ones they set up at smaller tables without the beautiful scene.

First Lady Valentine's Mocktail 

I love the mocktail which tastes fresh with orange peels inside and also the mix of sourish taste too.

Salad & Appetizer 

This seems to be my favourite among all the items in the package as it looks like fine dining and I thoroughly enjoyed the combination of marinated scallop with sweet potato masala, crispy prawn with grilled tomato coriander and red honey chilli together with garden salad with mayonaise dressing. The scallop is fresh and succulent. I didn't taste much of the prawn and thought it was more of just deep fried starch.

Soup 

Cream of seafood soup looks pretty but too salty for our palate. The only tasty thing is the green half shelled mussel and the perfectly done crispy garlic bread.

Main Course 

Grilled Lamb Rack

The grilled lamb rack with black pepper sauce was served with a whole baked potato. The lamb is better than the other fish. I also liked the crunchy sauteed vegetables with garlic butter.

Grilled Fish Steak 

The grilled fish steak is cooked with lemon butter sauce and crispy potato wedges and sauteed vegetables with garlic butter. The fish is a little lack of tenderness that I expected.

Dessert 

The cheese cake with blueberry sauce was just ok, just not the exquisite kind.

It was raining tonight so Jonathan was right that we didn't book the tables outside which were all wet.

Secret of Lousiana

When I first laid eyes on the giant poster of the pasta buffet available at lunch time till 3 pm, I set the target to try it if I could and when I came here to talk to Chef Elvin on the wedding arrangement, I didn't hesitate to take the chance since it was lunch time last Sunday.

Can you believe it if I tell you the pasta buffet costs ONLY RM 24.90 per pax on Sunday and RM 21.90 per pax on Monday-Saturday? Unbelievable? Even more unbelievable would be it comes with home brewed coffee and hot ceylon tea, fresh homemade ice lemon tea without using the instant powder, free flow salad, thinly sliced bruchetta garlic bread, mushroom soup and also ice-cream of the day!

I like the fact that the freshly made lemon tea was without sugar and sugar syrup was served separately for you to add as you wish! This is definitely a customer-oriented chef!

There were 15 types of pasta to try and they can be flexible to serve in smaller portion for you to taste! Also, even more amazing is that the chef serves the al-dente spaghetti cooked live for you!

Curry Calamari 

This is my favourite spaghetti because I always fancy anything cooked with curry and even better, my favourite calamari!

Chilli Smoked Duck 

Smoked duck is another one of my favourite list! To pair it with spaghetti was just nice!

Fussili Chicken Lasagna 

I guess lasagna and Italy is just unavoidable. The pairing of lasagna with fussili is also suitable.

Cajun Garlic Shrimp 

Secret of Lousiana is famous for Cajun inspired dishes which is the spice from America South. The shrimps are also big and fresh for the price paid!

Creamy Pesto Fish 

I am someone who always like pesto sauce and it was beautifully paired with grilled fish.

Vongole Clam

Anything paired with clams definitely works for me!

I love the thinly sliced bruchetta garlic bread but the soup was a bit too diluted for me but he said he did serve wild mushroom soup before but some young customers prefer the pizza hut styled mushroom soup!

All the food are totally worth the price paid and there is a free view of natural lake or one can get the ambience of country styled set up inside the restaurant.

The chef is incredible in pairing food and doesn't settle for any pairing thats not tasty and would put his reputation at stake. In fact, he was so proud of his carbonara that he insisted his waiter brought that for me though we were full to the brim. His carbonara sauce is made from imported double cream to make it so creamy and thick.

Chicken Carbonara

Free ice-cream! YAM!
