Smoked Salmon Salad

Soon another lovely dish that proves to be a real hit among the diners, and it’s none other than the Smoked Salmon Salad. The dressing used for this salad is pretty special and it’s made in house. It has got the unique blend of creamy sesame with some nutty crunches that are set to entice the diners more and more. It’s very appetizing as well when eaten with all the crisp lettuce, purple cabbage, cucumber, cherry tomato, radish and last but not least, the smoked salmon. The fish is thinly sliced till it is like literally melts in your mouth and is very fresh indeed. When all these delish ingredients are mixed and matched together, it gives out a very refreshing feel and you are more reenergized with improved appetite. I really love the the sesame sauce, yummy!

Spanish Tapas

During the interlude, games are played and light moments are shared wonderfully among the guests while waiting for the dishes to be prepared fresh from the kitchen. I suppose the ice breaking session conducted successfully as all of us get to know each other better, with some discussion has been zoomed into food topics already Ensue later is a simple introduction of the wine boutique restaurant by Keith, who shares with us how the idea of wine pairing gustation with their range of cartes du jour originates.Soon, the first plate of appetizer arrived invitingly on the people-filled tables. It is the special Spanish Tapas that comes with the tomato salsa seated on salchichon iberico bellota on the bed of fragrantly toasted baguette. The most prominent flavor that left you yearning for more the moment you pop it into your mouth is the intense fragrance of the parsley, alongside the zestful sourness of the mix, which also includes delicately diced tomato, garlic and not forgetting the delicious iberico meat. It’s pretty unique with its mild smokiness with the side being slightly crispy, and to pair it with some cream on the top, is definitely a brilliant idea! It does remind me our oriental smoked meat, but of different flavor overall. Nice!

Golden Pumpkin Soup

The gastronomical night kicked off with a bowl of supreme Pumpkin Soup, made in house without any MSG. Therefore, you could actually taste the original sweetness of the pumpkin itself with a tinge of herb fragrance, which taste like oregano to me, but am not sure. This golden-colored soup is also topped off with a gentle splash of cream and there you go, a delish and hearty soup for the soul. By the way, their ceramics designs are pretty cool and lively too with the many bright hues exuded, with mine, being the best one to match the soup as it’s in orangey

Estoy veniendo!

Finally, we have embarked on another spectacular epicurean adventure but this time is at Palazzo, which offers diners a majestic spread of fusion, ranging from Italian, Spanish to Western, against a modern chic setting with warm ambience.
Upon entering the restaurant, you would be amused and greeted instantly by its racks of wine collection magnificently, that are also thoughtfully hand-picked. The bottles are priced reasonably and Sparkling Red being the signature one, that is also quite popular especially among the fairer sex for its smoother and sweeter taste.This cozy restaurant initially forays as one of the few local wine retailers at Cheras back in 2011, that proves to live up to the expectation of fine wine connoisseurs. Due to the overwhelming responses, they soon venture into F&B as well, with wine being one the special element in its menu. To do some justice to your taste bud, let’s the yummy food pictures speak for itself.

At the back of this temple, there is a canteen-like place that sells varieties of vegetarian food during the weekday. They do open business during the weekend only when it is in conjunction with the Lunar 1st and 15th of the month. Beside the serene atmosphere this temple holds, the choices of food served are pretty good.You could actually have vegetarian mixed rice like this. It’s more or less like the usual economic rice you have, just that this is of non-meat version, and thus, much healthier. Foods served are delectable and less oily. Even the vegetables are home-grown and therefore, freshness is guaranteed. You might also be spoilt with choices as they really offer lots of varieties of vegetarians, mock meats, fruits and drinks. Apart from the economic rice, there are also some vegetarian pastries, biscuits and ‘kueh’ being sold. There is this “Kon Soh Peng”, which is hardly found nowadays. I used to have it at my late grandmom’s place during younger days and I love it so so much! The pastry is just made of flour, sugar and water, but the taste nonetheless, still delish. I believe people of vegetarian enjoy it too. However, the size has now been minimized as compared to last time where each biscuit is the size of two-small-palms!

This is the carrot cupcake Anyway, you still can choose other homemade food like the popiahs too! Healthilicious! ^_^
