Mandarin Grill during Mandarin Oriental Hotel, KL.
The name Mandarin Grill conjures images of costly bills & perfect steaks.
Why, you ask?
Well, thats a impression which any reader of any of a reviews upon Mandarin Grill posted upon a net would get.
While a cost did (unfortunately) match a expectations set, a food fell next par.
Why; again you ask?
Hmmfor one, it could be which you didnt order their many appropriate beef upon a menu; a Grade 10 Kobe. And an additional reason was simply; being a cost-conscious person which you am, you had expected better bang for my buck.
Still, a hard not to fall in adore (especially if you have been a bread-lover similar to myself) when you have been presented with THIS:
A whole tray of comfortable gourmet breads! you must say, this is a only place which offers me such a terrific assortment of bread so far! Just from personal experience, Favola during Le Meridien serves excellent bread, Cilantro @ Micasa Hotel offers their mythological truffle butter, as good as Mandarin Grill takes a oven baked sweat bread for a perfect amount of choices alone.
I took about 4 sorts of bread, as good as widespread them easily with a olive butter provided.
Our entertain bouche was fresh tuna with wasabi lime, surfaced with french bean as good as yuzu ponzu jelly, as good as came seating upon tip of a bed of zangy chopped tomatoes salsa. Pretty typic! al dish for a place similar to Mandarin Grill as good as it didnt consequence any brownie points, yet it was generally a pleasant starter.
The Appetiser Platter pleased me though. Im a fool for small tasting portions; as good as having many different sorts all in one plate. The platter has exactly all that, yet many of them were again; flattering ordinary.
Appetiser Platter: Creamy Foie Gras au Torchon, Smoked salmon loin, Black olives, Green pea salad, Port wine jelly, twin of apple (spiced apple), Toasted brioche as good as Alaskan Crab Cake.
An appealing item was a paper- thin chilli paper. Spicy as good as crackly, it paired good with a Alaskan crab cake, which was packed with sweet as good as juicy crab meat.
The Pumpkin soup tasted funny during first, roughly of crab-bisque essence (I child you not, both of us felt a same way), though a mousse-like as good as frothy consistency is commendable. Anyhow, a ambience kind of grew upon me, as good as you ended up enjoying it, for after a while; a sweet & uninformed pumpkin ambience really shone.
My date have had a dish too many of bovine, as good as hence ordered a COD in a restaurant famed for a grill. For RM105.00, he got an overly seasoned cod which was too salty for him to finish. you laughed during him. Wicked, you know.
At Mandarin Grill, diners gets to select 2 side dishes (one any from a preference of potatoes & vegetables) as good as one sort of sauce. He chose Steamed Broccolini & Roasted fingerlings with Rosemary. Both were acceptable enough. The little saucer you see next during a right was his preference of salsa a homemade ketchup. It was flattering bland.
Naturally, my main is a steak. A whole 250g of it. And you get to confirm from a dozen preference of knives upon which you wish to use to crave my meat. Cool isnt it?? 
My 250g Tenderloin.
My poke for a good beef shall go on a course. Tenderloin is a bad preference for someone who loves essence in her meat; as good as which equates to you need a fattier cut. Another thing is, you do not eat beef oven baked over medium, as good as this came roughly medium- done.
My sides were a many appropriate of a lot, generally so for a tawny carbo-licious Gratin Dauphinois. Lovely & rich, a thin slices of potatoes layered with thickk thickk cream as good as surfaced with torched cheese had us relishing it so much which you ended up withdrawal many of a mains untouched. LOL.
I remarkable which a sides were served in particular bowls, as good as which itself was estimable of mention in my books. The main image was kept interruption free for you to concentrate upon longing your mains. Separate servings additionally equates to there will be no overlapping of food/gravy or sauce.
Apparently Mandarin Grill is famed for a desserts. Hence you asked one of a chefs to recommend their BEST dessert & a prompt reply was Apple Pie. So apple cake it shall be to end a meal.
It took a while to come, as good as it was good worth a wait. you was bowled over by a apple cake here. Divinely flaky puff pastry with thin slivers of apple fanning it around a top, it came oven baked -ala-minute. Topped with vanilla ice cream, this finished my Mandarin Grill experience.
My date had a lighter Mango Sherbet, since he said he could barely breath after his dinner.
My pineapple as good as celery juice RM22. Pricey, you know.
Horn-shaped peppers as good as salt shaker. you just had to take a design of this; as good as then satisfied which many blogs features them as well. LOL. That says a lot of a centrepiece doesnt it?
The dining area is lovely, with comfortable lights, though thankfully not entirely dim. Wel! l-spaced detached tables ensures comfort as good as privacy.
