Forget Happy Hour, its Gourmet Hour now
Between 5.30pm and 7.30pm, when its too early to have dinner, yet you are feeling peckish, the food keeps rolling out if you have chosen wine or some boutique beers to drink, and its on the house.
The sandwich with the smoke! d chicke n is drizzled with truffle oil, raising it to another level. The haloumi beetroot skewers disappeared in a flash from the platter; the beetroot with the toasted chunks of salty cheese melting over it are a wonderful accompaniment to your drink.
I found it hard to stop eating the grilled Portobello mushrooms too; I just loved them for their smooth, juicy, aromatic bites. Then there was the seared rare tuna that could have been a great appetizer for dinner.
The thick slices on a spoon are a dark pink, topped with an olive tapenade, which was an intense, nutty match for it. An open-face smoked salmon sandwich here has the toasted bread generously smothered with the smoked salmon, sprinkled atop with olives and grated cheese, with arugula at the bottom. It looked more like a salad, with the bread peeping out of it. Its a sandwich that makes you drink more.
These gourmet offerings may change from day to day, from Monday to Friday, and the wait staff of course serve them according to how much wine or beer is being consumed.
Millesime has new dining options for the evening you can choose the five-course Menu Degustation, four-course Menu Gourmet or the three-course Petit Menu. For five courses it! s RM250+ +, four courses RM220++ and three courses RM200++.
The first course for the degustation menu is Yellow Fin Tuna Loin seared rare with Smoked Marlin and bell pepper relish, celery flan, avocado mash, mizuna greens and balsamic syrup, followed by Poele of Goose Foie Gras with Duck Egg Mollet, Smoked Duck Emince, Shaved Fennel and port wine reduction. Then its Pan seared Hokkaido Scallop with Avruga Caviar, Braised Red Cabbage and Grain Mustard Sauce. You could pick the Meuniere of White Snapper Fish Fillet with Saffron Beurre Blanc Smoked Herring Hash, Fine French Beans and Sea Trout Roe or Australian Mulwarra Black Angus Tenderloin with Black Truffle Juice, roasted portobello, savoy cabbage and Humboldt green asparagus. Dessert is Oven-baked Fresh Fig Passilla with Chocoalte Tuile, rum-macerated berries and vanilla ice-cream.

Forget Happy Hour, itcs Gourmet Hour now
KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 At most happy hours in the citys lounges, bistros and pubs, you would get peanuts, greasy fried ikan bilis, potato chips, or as we experienced at a hotel lounge recently, tapioca chips and deep-fried soyabeans. Its like the wine in the crystal glass did not quite match these oily, tiddly bits. In other places, the salted peanuts and ikan bilis serve to make you more thirsty, so that you would drink more.
This is not the case at Millesime in Solaris Dutamas. The restaurant has declared a Gourmet Hour, where people can come in and have a drink, with real food accompanying it.
Between 5.30pm and 7.30pm, when its too early to have dinner, yet you are feeling peckish, the food keeps rolling out if you have chosen wine or some boutique beers to drink, and its on the house.
We had a taste of these open-face sandwiches, grilled Portobello mushrooms, skewers of haloumi cheese and beetroot, even Wagyu beef, at the lounge just outside of Millesime recently, with a glass of wine in hand.
There was the scrumptious smoked duck sandwich, the succulent meat topped with slivers of roasted red pepper and a little cheese, with arugula leaves at the base.
The sandwich with the smoked chicken is drizzled with truffle oil, raising it to another level. The haloumi beetroot skewers disappeared in a flash from the platter; the beetroot with the toasted chunks of salty cheese melting over it are a wonderful accompaniment to your drink.
I found it hard to stop eating the grilled Portobello mushrooms too; I just loved them for their smooth, juicy, aromatic bites. Then there was the seared rare tuna that could have been a great appetizer for dinner.

An open-face smoked salmon sandwich here has the toasted bread generously smothered with the smoked salmon, sprinkled atop with olives and grated cheese, with arugula at the bottom. It looked more like! a salad , with the bread peeping out of it. Its a sandwich that makes you drink more.
Even more amazing is the Kobe beef sandwich, made from the trimmings from the steaks served at Millesime. They didnt look like trimmings at all; sizeable pieces of meat covered the bread. Just lift the meat off and enjoy it.
These gourmet offerings may change from day to day, from Monday to Friday, and the wait staff of course serve them according to how much wine or beer is being consumed.
The restaurant has a well-stocked cellar of wines from all parts of the world. Its a clever way to keep your drinkers happy, and they may even want to step in for dinner.
Millesime has new dining options for the evening you can choose the five-course Menu Degustation, four-course Menu Gourmet or the three-course Petit Menu. For five courses its RM250++, four courses RM220++ and three courses RM200++.

Dinner @ The Red Beanbag
Extending its business hours through 10pm starting this week, RBB has enlarged its menu; a simple but satisfyingly sweet and creamy pumpkin soup (RM15+) should please the legion of customers who've come to know this cafe in the past five months and collectively turned it into one of Solaris Dutamas' most talked-about eateries.
A fun facet of RBB: the cute names for its re! cipes.
Trouty Mouth (RM18+), an open-face sandwich we gleefully gobbled. Smoked salmon, capers, lightly scrambled eggs and avocado on toasted sourdough.
Faithful fol! lowers w ill be relieved to hear that RBB has retained fan favorites like The Odd Cod (RM32.90++), pan-roasted marinated cod fish with anchovy butter sauce and spinach.
Cherry tart with vanilla ice cream (RM10+). Fresher and fluffier than expected.
Tim-Tam Slam _ hot chocolate with chocolate biscuits from Down Under.
At last, our liquor has come along. RBB now offers Sangria (RM75+ per jug) for a fruity Friday ...
... Aussie Lindemans Semillon Chardonnay (RM18+ per glass) ...
... Aussie Lindemans Cawarra Shiraz Cab (18+ per glass). Our dry days are over.
