PIN Prestige – 位于吉隆坡EQ酒店第51楼的Sabayon餐厅，在每个星期日中午十二点到三点都会有Rothschild Sunday Roast午餐配套。一边享受美食，搭配无限量续杯Baron De Rothschild香槟，懒洋洋的周日，来顿丰盛惬意的午餐，棒哉。 以下让品将带你一览配套中的重点推荐美食。
Tommy Ooi Travel Guide – Sabayon launches Champagne Barons de Rothschild Rare Vintage 2010 with a pairing dinner. The champagne is the finest expression after long ageing of more than 9 months in vats with regular bâtonnage (stirring of the lees), matured on its lees for 8 to 10 years and then allowed to rest for at least 12 more months after disgorgement to regain its balance. Only 6,240 bottles worldwide and 70 bottles allocated for Malaysia have been sold out.
Free Malaysia Today – After months of making do with takeaways and deliveries, many are no doubt hankering for some good food enjoyed the old-fashioned way – dressed in your Sunday best in a fancy restaurant.
Starting this month, EQ Kuala Lumpur’s Sabayon is the restaurant to do just that now that they’re hosting the Rothschild Sunday Brunch every week from 12pm to 3pm for all in the family.
Buro 24/7 – Kampachi first opened its doors in 1974 at Hotel Equatorial—which you may now recognise as the recently-revamped EQ—and has remained a pioneer of authentic Japanese cuisine in Malaysia ever since. The restaurant has built its sparkling reputation on its commitment to quality, serving only the finest air-flown ingredients in each dish at the hands of their team of Tokyo-trained chefs.
The latest addition to the team is none other than Mr Kyohei Igarashi, the restaurant’s newest Sushi Master. Chef Igarashi has over 20 years of experience in sushi making, with a resume that places him all around the world, from Canada, Macau, Bangkok, Hawaii and now Malaysia.
I had the absolute privilege of witnessing Chef Igarashi’s work in-person, opting to try his 6-course omakase menu. Without further ado, here are my thoughts.
Tatler Malaysia – Having discovered a passion for sushi towards the end of his teenage years, Chef Kyohei Igarashi has not looked back since. With more than 20 years of experience under his belt, the well-travelled Yamagata native has always stayed true to his Japanese roots. A great new addition to the ever-growing team at EQ’s Kampachi, whose philosophy is to deliver the most authentic Japanese dining experiences, Igarashi is here to promote the art of omakase in Malaysia.
The Japanese gastronomical journey begins with a trio of zensai, Japanese for appetisers, composed of kazunoko (cured herring roe), kurumi konago (walnut with anchovies) and take no mozuku (vinegared seaweed with octopus). The latter is laced with a hint of acidity that prepares the senses for the next course.
The Yum List – In line with more relaxed SOPs, Sabayon in EQ Kuala Lumpur has opened bigger and better and now welcomes guests to a Rothschild Sunday Roast.
The Rothschild Sunday Roast at Sabayon is held every Sunday from 12 noon until 3 pm. The introductory price of RM 228 per adult and RM 98 for children aged six to 12 years is valid until the end of March 2021 and includes a free flow of non-alcoholic beverages. You can upgrade to a free flow of wine, beer and select cocktails for RM 428 or go the whole shebang with the lovely Barons de Rothschild Champagne for RM 578. Reservations and pre-payment are necessary to hold your table.
Tatler Malaysia – Dining omakase (chef’s choice) ensures patrons get the best a restaurant has to offer, as they indulge in premium cuts of fish flown in from Japan prepared and selected by the chefs. Leave it up to these culinary maestros to guide you on a gastronomical experience.
Award-winning restaurant Kampachi is a household name amongst Japanese cuisine aficionados in Kuala Lumpur. Their sashimi is sourced from the renowned Tsukiji market in Tokyo and prepared by Ginza-trained master chefs, that are passionate about delivering every plate they serve.
