Lunch set at Marble 8 @ KLCC

Marble 8 is a fine dining restaurant that you can't go on your own without escort :-). In order to access level 56 of Menara 3 Petronas, the restaurant staff will escort you thru the 2 lifts and need to pass by a security check. Marble 8 restaurant interior were quite elegant black. I choose their 4 course meal lunch set which includes an appetizer, pasta, main course and dessert. The pasta portion itself is quite huge and filling.

Taste:8/10(Good. Special mention to their crispy bread as it is very good. The appetizer and pasta are both creamy and tasty. The steak combination were already good but slightly hard. Just wondering of why the recommendation of the steak to be prepared as medium when it should be best on medium rare).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. The price for lunch set is quite reasonable and big portion. You won't get such good price if you were to dine here for dinner. 3-course lunch set at MYR78.00 and 4-course at MYR118.00. Subject to service charge of 10% and tax of 6%)


Grilled black Angus fillet with with cannellini beans, spring onion & beef jus.

The bread and olive condiments is quite tasty.

Signature pork bun from Momofuku @ Las Vegas, USA

Momofuku in Las Vegas is located in Cosmopolitan Resort. They have many branches across America and I missed my chance to try it out when I were in New York previously. This simple restaurant by David Chang has one item which catches everyone attention. Its their pork bun. I do recommend sitting at the counter in front of the kitchen. You can watch the chefs prepare the food and then pick what you think looks good.

Taste:10/10(Excellent. The pork bun is delicious with tender, juicy and melt in your mouth pork belly. Together with cucumber and hoisin sauce, makes a good combination and goes well with the soft flour bun and SSAM sauce. Their grilled lamb ribs is good as well but still can't beat the deliciousness of the pork bun. Similar tender lamb ribs which blends well with yogurt).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. Pork bun at USD7.00 per piece and made to order. Grilled lamb ribs at USD21).


Tasty and delicious pork belly bun. Attached with Momofuku signature flag.

The cucumber with lamb ribs makes the taste more refine and refreshing. And you will feel not overloaded with meat.

Contemporary European Cuisine @ 2nd Floor, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur

Having a dinner here with a friend to try out this newly opened restaurant. 2nd Floor is a new kid on the block surrounded by top restaurants in the neighbourhood serving contemporary European cuisine. In 2nd Floor, the cuisine is more toward German styled food as they have a good German masterchef, Gerhard Albrecht. The concept of the food here is focused on using natural products and bringing European taste with a slight local twist. Some of the specialties here includes pork ribs, barley soup and ginger creme brulee.

Taste:8/10(Delicious. The main highlight here were their tropical pork ribs. Taste very good with sauteed apple. The sauce which comes with the pork ribs has a slight sourish taste and its nicely done as well. Their crab cakes are yummy. Quite creative to have sourish and slight spicy sauce to accompany the crab cakes. They also have maultaschen which is quite unique as most of the time, the maultaschen is in the form of dumplings. But here are pan fried version with onions and egg).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Pricing wise are quite reasonable and affordable for Western type of dining. The appetizer are still within the MYR20 range. 2NDFLR special salad at MYR20, pan fried crab cake at MYR32, barley soup at MYR11, maultaschen at MYR25 and tropical pork ribs at MYR55).


2nd Floor located at TTDI.

Nice cosy outdoor seating.

My first meal here started with 2NDFLR special salad. Its with Romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese, croutons, poached egg and bacon. Great combination of vegetables together with bacon fat.

Delicious with strong butter and garlic taste. Crunchy garlic bread.

Barley soup. This version of barley soup is almost identical to your mom's home cooked soup with love. Boiled with vegetables and chicken broth.

Poached eggs was nicely done.

Pan fried crab cake. Consist of breaded crab meat, chili jam and orange salad. Crab cake together with the jam and orange makes an excellent combination.

Pan fried maultaschen with egg. Comes with prawn and salad. Their maultaschen is prepared in gerostet style which the pasta is cut into pieces then pan fried with onions and egg.

This is how maultaschen content look like.

My main meal here was Tropical pork ribs. Tender slow cooked pork ribs with combination of orange, poppy seeds, saffron and yoghurt dip. The sauteed apple taste well together with the pork ribs.

Outside seating if you wish to have warmer environment.
