Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar, The Gardens Residences, Kuala Lumpur
Lunch at Sage always feels special. I love the food here. The service is excellent. Dining with my special someone makes it even more special.
During the Thaipusam break, what better way to spend the holidays than indulge in Sage. We were seated in our favourite corner, where we could observe the open kitchen... I like to call it the "premium spot" as you get lots of natural lighting here and this is where I take some of my best food photos. I love the freshly baked bread.... don't be shy to ask for refills, we're not ;P
I had the Carpaccio of Hiramasa with Baby Cress and Umeboshi Vinaigrette. The flavours were very clean and the hiramasa (kingfish) was very fresh.
For the main course, Hubby had the Mijot of Wagyu Cheek served with tempura vegetables and white miso sauce. I did not notice this until I actually got home and was editing the photos, but see how the sauce is poured and has taken the shape of a mushroom. To be honest, the first thing that crossed our minds when the dish arrived at our table was how unattractive it looked. Three shades of brown... it sure ain't the prettiest dish we've seen at Sage. But don't be fooled by its appearance as the wagyu cheek was very tender and packed full of flavour. It is nice to be served with a well presented dish, however given the choice of great taste or great appearance, taste wins everytime.
Dessert was the Vichyssoise of Fuji Apple with Cointreau Ice-Cream, which I was excited to see on the menu since I enjoyed it the last time I had it. The second time around, I loved it just as much... wonderfully creamy and refreshing "soup" with poached apple chunks and apple jelly. The Cointreau ice-cream is perfection, making this dessert simply exquisite.

Freshly baked bread
Just perfect

Mijot of Wagyu Cheek with Vegetables and Sauce White Miso
Totally satisfying... Hubby enjoyed it very much
I had the Steamed Atlantic Seabass topped with sliced abalone, edamame and Nori seaweed sauce. The fish was fresh and flaky. We've had a similar dish here before but with garoupa and the sauce this time was a litte lighter in flavour. The edamame added a nice texture to the dish.
