It is almost time to unwind for the holidays and you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to tuck into some delicious treats this December. Here are 4 recommendations you definitely should check out before the year is over.
FRESH OFF THE GRILL
If you have a hankering for great food and a great view, then Horizon Grill on the 58th floor of Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur is a choice location. The kitchen team is led by Chef de Cuisine Daniel Wong, a young chef who’s made his own mark in the international culinary scene under the tutelage of the renowned chef Joël Robuchon. Having worked in the three-Michelin starred kitchens of L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon and 8½ Otto E Mezzo Bombana in Hong Kong, Chef Daniel brings his talent and 13 years of experience to the carefully designed West-meets-East menu at Horizon Grill. Sit down to the degustation menu for six of Chef Daniel’s greatest hits, including Hamachi Crudo, Lamb Ragout Pappardelle, Goulburn Valley Beef and ending with the Horizon Royal designed by Banyan Tree pastry chef Fodil Baghal.
SUPERFOOD FANCIES
You can have your cake and eat it too without the guilt of over indulgence at Ladurée Malaysia with the introduction of a new super healthy menu. Options range from sweet bites to savoury plates and even down to their lattes, each dish carefully designed to include healthier, superfood ingredients. Breakfast dishes include the Red Berry Yoghurt, which incorporates fresh fruits and healthier coconut yoghurt for a lighter start to the day. The Pink Latte and Golden Latte offers decaffeinated options to your morning coffee, using beetroot and turmeric respectively for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The health kick also extends to their macarons, with the introduction of Matcha Moringa, Pomegranate Chocolate and Baobab Mango Passionfruit flavours, all incorporating healthier ingredients without compromising on flavour.
FIND YOUR FIKA
This holiday season, Nespresso invites you to take the time off and indulge in relaxing moments with your loved ones. Their new Nordic-inspired festive collection aims to invoke the distinctly Scandanavian ideals of fika and hygge, cornerstones of Swedish and Danish culture, that focuses on taking time everyday to be with a cup of coffee, people you love and find a feeling of warmth and cosiness. Nordic-inspired flavours of Almond Cake and Cloudberry, both starting with a Livanto base with added notes of biscuit and vanilla, and the delicate taste of cloudberries. These flavours joins the brand new Nordic Black capsule, an aromatic African and South American blend with sweet fruit and cereal aftertaste for a medium intensity cup of long black. The Nordic Limited Edition is available now.
