Mandarin Oriental is a synonym of good service, amazing food and
outstanding hospitality. This time we have visited their impeccable restaurant here in Kuala Lumpur. The name of this restaurant is the same as it is the offer of their food Mandarin Oriental Mosaic
AMBIENT
The dining room at Mosaic is spacious, full of light and nicely decorated. Besides the mosaic walls, the elegant interior reflects hints of Peranakan culture.Beyond any doubt, this place fits to satisfy the multicultural environment, which is important in the Peranakan culture. Food stations are well arranged and it was easy for us to navigate ourselves.
FOOD
We attented their famous Sunday Brunch and boy we weren't disaponted. The offer is more than extended and I bet veryone can find his own favorite food, no matters the preferences and diets.
All the food was attentively put on display and simultaneously replenished on individual stations. You’ll find a salad bar, seafood on ice, Malay, Indian and Chinese food, soups, BBQ, a roast station, a live pasta station, a selection of western food, a noodle soup station and more. Did we mention the separate room full of sweets, with a chocolate fountain?
The closest to our table was the Japanese station, which was also part of a cold seafood offering. As we already know, Japan is full of surprises and so was our encounter with the umeboshi. Umeboshi is a sour plum, and we’re slowly becoming familiar with it, even though we seem to come across it only by accident. Immediately after tasting it, I remembered the not so tasty drink from Wild Coriander a while back. At this station, we loved the kimchi and pickled cucumber. The funky fermented foods made us feel good when the thought of overeating crossed our minds.
Where else could we eat lobster, flower crab, yabbies, prawns, scallops and oysters one after the other in order to appreciate their delicate differences? It is easy to go and refresh your memory of the different flavors when everything is there, just waiting to be eaten. All the seafood at Mandarin Oriental Mosaic tasted great and there is no better cold starter than a plate of oysters.
Well, to name out all the dishes they offer at their Sunday Brunch we need a week at least :) Anyway the most overwhelming section is their dessert room.
Once we saw the chocolate fountain and all the cakes, we couldn't believe our eyes. There was more than anyone with a sweet tooth could ever dream of: everything from light desserts to rich chocolate cake!
The first thing to remember are macaroons, which were perfect. They had the crunchy crust and a soft and tasty filling. We then went for the beautiful cheesecake with a fresh raspberry on top. It was served individually on a small glass plate, and the raspberry added some freshness. We had fun cracking the caramel top of the creme brulée and we loved its creamy texture.
A brunch here will cost you 50 USD and we recommend it warmly! All food we have tried out was simply outstanding. Not to mention service and amibance itself. A true gem!
