Secret Escape to Market Place, KL.

Today is Friday, which is not a good day for working. So the Thirsty CH and one of the colleagues decided to go down to KL and look for girl and wifey of the colleague to hunt for good food for our New Year lunch.
We went to Market Place suggested by wifey of my colleague. It is a new, and hidden restaurant @ Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. It is just right behind of the famous Kepala Ikan stall.

The decoration of the restaurant is quite Modern, yet we can feel the serenity from it’s fine landscape and watery design. At the night, this place will turn to lounge & pub, and a good place for few friends to hang around and have some wine & liquor. Top of the Restaurant is the Balcony feature, which allowed you to enjoy your drinks accompanied by watching the twinkling light of the Twin Towers.

We totally have no idea on the food written. Therefore, we order 3 types of tasting platter which allow us to taste almost all the gourmet served in the restaurant.

The Three Platter:

1st Platter:
From Left to right:
1) Tuna Sashimi with Mango slice, savour your tongue with thick, juicy, fresh tuna sashmi.
2) Tuna Mayo Bruschetta, the mixture between tuna and mayo was quite well-done.
3) Lamb meatball with tomato sauce, The smell of lamb meat mix thoroughly with tomato sauce, best to serve on a bread.
4) Dunno what exactly what kind of vege is that. Attracted by the smelly Goat Cheese ingredient.
2nd Platter:
From Left to Right
1) A super tender medium rare beef steak! Even not a beef eater luna also like it very much.
2) The "Kacang putih" salad
3) The lamb tenderloin, Luna's favourite.
4) Avocado sushi topped with ebi roe (Crab egg)
5) A fish cube, dunno what fish is that, but the fish is very soft until u can bite it using your tongue.



3rd Platter:
From top to bottom:
1) The raw squid with vege and sour sauce dressing.
2) Steamed fish, dunno what fish is that, but still can remember the delectable taste of the fish.
3) Mushroom fried with sauteed sauce. The flavour of the mushroom completely goes into the sauteed sauce. Must try to dip the bread with the sauce.
4) Fried prawn with garlic and unknown herb. The prawn is nicely cooked, very nice to chew inside your mouth.

With these 3 platter, two bowl of mushroom soup, and 4 drinks(non-alcohol), the bill is RM200+. It is slightly high, but worth for the food and the environment. The kind restauranteur gave each of us their french chill-out music CD made by them after paying the bill, quite a good-feeling music, thanks to him! Will visit this place again someday!
