Lunch @ Senses

Senses Restaurant





Yesterday during lunch hour, I went to Senses restaurant in Hilton Kuala Lumpur. The only restaurant serving Australian Cuisine in KL. The founder of this restaurant is Chef Cheong Liew. He is a Malaysian born chinese (born Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). He is one of South Australia's most well-known chefs. He first moved from Malaysia to Melbourne in 1969 to study electrical engineering, but instead became a chef. He then became the owner of the popular Adelaide restaurant Neddys, where the menu consisted of mostly Malaysian and Chinese dishes. He used ingredients in his cooking not many other chefs dared to use at that time; such as pigs feet, whole ducks, and pigs heads. The restaurant closed in 1988 and Liew went on to become a cookery teacher. Liew has been honoured as "one of the ten hottest chefs alive" by the prestigious American Food & Wine Magazine, and inducted into the Hall of Fame in the World Food Media Awards. He was bestowed the Medal of the Order of Australia in the 1999 Queen's Birthday Honours "for service to the food and restaurant industry through involvement in developing and influencing the style of contemporary Australian cuisine. He is currently working as a head chef at the prestigious Hilton Hotel in Adelaide.

After looking at the lunch set page, the main course caught my attention. Without hesitating, I ordered the main course as ala carte main course (Wagyu Rump Steak) and as for my starter, i have ordered a Seafood Soup.



Wagyu Rump Steak



The above picture is my main course name Wagyu Rump Steak. It's Grilled Wagyu rump steak with roasted baby beetroot, king brown mushroom & new season giant asparagus. It's extraordinary tasty and the meat is very juicy and tender. This Wagyu Rump Steak will cost RM 78.00 ++ . It's reasonable price as wagyu meat is one of the best. It best combination go with Red Wine. However, i didnt ordered red wine as i need to work after my lunch xD
Located on the Mezzanine floor, Senses is Hilton Kuala Lumpur's gem of a restaurant neatly tucked away on the mezzanine floor that serves up Modern Australian Cuisine. Delicious creations ingeniously prepared by our very own Aussie chefs Kelly Brennan and Michael Elfwing, guided by Master Chef Cheong Liew, voted one of the world's hottest top10 chefs alive. Senses seats up to 52 pax and opens daily for lunch except Saturday and Sunday from 12.00pm to 2.30pm. For dinner, from Monday to Saturday from 7.00pm to 10.30pm.
