[MIGF Special Feature]
Conne and I headed over to try the Malaysia International Gourmet Festival (MIGF) 2013 menu at The Restaurant which is a modern European establishment nestled in the The Club, Saujana Resort which is the renovated former VIP wing of the Saujana Hotel which is located right beside it.
The Restaurant was participating in the Malaysia International Gourmet Festival 2013 (MIGF2013) for the 4th consecutive year, and Executive Chef Alexander was all ready to dazzle us with his creations.
The theme for this year’s MIGF is “Cool Chefs! Cooking with Attitude!” and Chef Alexander (who is younger than me) took up the challenge to deliver dishes that exude sophistication and suaveness. Wow…I know guys who exude suaveness but food?
This was going to be interesting…

.
BTW did you manage to guess the cold element in each dish?
Chef Alexander sat down with us after dinner and explained:
Salmon Carpaccio – the yuzu sorbet
Foiegrass Crème – the scoop of foie gras creme (which was really like a rich ice cream!)
Grilled Hokkaido Scallop – the scallops are harvested from the cold deep waters of Hokkaido, Japan
Pan-Fried Seabass – seabass is usually found in cold, deep waters!
Smoked Rack of Lamb & Confit Lamb Shoulder – this one was quite tricky! Potatoes! Grown in summer, harvested in autumn and consumed during the cold winter months!
Ultimate Chocolate Brownie – the ice milk mousse
.
I suggest that you only go for the full 6-course menu if you’re a really big eater as even I who can eat a lot was really stuffed by the time we got to dessert (and mind you, my partner in crime had the seabass while I had the lamb as we couldn’t finish both on our own).
This was one of the best and most satisfying meals I’ve had and I can’t wait to see what Chef Alexander Waschl has up his sleeve for the next special menu.
We took a walk around the grounds and over to the lake after dinner. It’s pretty nice if it’s a cool night and if there are not many mozzies around. Definitely a nice place to bring a date or your partner.
