d'cuisine

Yo! Today's review is going to be on a restaurant @ Plaza 33, d'cuisine (very close to Coliseum too) We decided to dine here when we couldn't get a space at Coliseum. And if you are wondering...nope, it is NOT french cuisine :( was hoping it was but.... no. HAHA It is sort of an Asian-fusion kind of cuisine.

d'Cuisine restaurant.


The chef. He kinda looks like Wilber Pan's..older brother? lol

We got our seats! :D By the time we order, the restaurant was pretty full.

Pineapple juice RM9
-Not sure if it's worth it..but usually restaurants like these serve their juices at this prices. It tasted quite good though. Wished they served in a bigger glass! 

Sake Ria RM 15-(without alcohol) RM28-(alcohol)
>Sake, Peach Puree, fresh orange juice, fresh apple soda, mint leaves.
-This one was without alcohol. I pretty like it. It taste really light and surprisingly tasty!!! Although I don't really fancy mint, but the mint in the juice definitely brings out the flavor (Y) yummy


Bloody Magarita
>Jose cuervo antigua 1800 silver tequila, cointreau, blood orange puree, calamansi juice.
- When the drink came, i was like....wow. The glass is so tiny. RM15 for the non-alcoholic one. I was sure i could finish it before the food came. The taste is quite yummy, a bit sourish so it helps to open up your appetite. But i still prefer the one on top.

Norwegian Salmon Curry Noodles RM22
> Premium salmon fillet chunks in nyonya curry and thick hong kong mee noodles
-I appreciate menus that gives the description of the dish; helps me to decide whether i feel like eating that or not. hahaha. The curry tasted sooooooooooo good. LOVED it! Kind of taste like dal (indian curry) but only better and nicer! Everything tasted pretty good. However, I do kind of wish that they didn't soak the salmon into the noodle. Didn't really work for me. Overall, this dish tasted pretty good.


Mixed Seafood Hotsplate (Nyonya/Kam Heong) RM38
>Sea fresh mixed seafood in nyonya or kam heong style on sizzling hotplate
-The sauce had a mixture of sweet, salty and sourness. It had a little Thai flavor that blends really well with the sauce and the seafood. Definitely for Thai and seafood lovers. If you're ordering this, you would need to order separately an extra bowl of rice because they don't serve any rice with it.


D'Cuisine Peranakan Platter RM25
>Marinated deep fried herb and spices infused chicken, asam prawns with vegetables and coconut rice garnished with cucumber and tomato slices.
-THIS DISH WAS FANTASTIC. Yes, i know what you're thinking...Why order THAT when you come to such a 'fancy' restaurant like this? But, this dish--is the popular dish in this restaurant. Everything tasted so good! The table next to us or across us also ordered this. First, the rice....was sooooo tasty! The chicken was so crispy and the meat was tight! (nomnom) The seasoning was pretty okay. Some parts of the chicken were a bit too salty and other parts were just tasteless. I guess they need to be more consistent in their seasoning. Most of their dishes are pretty salty too though! (Asian taste perhaps?) In terms of price, it is a little bit too pricey for a dish that looks like a typical 'nasi lemak' that you can probably get at Village Park (RM8++ for the nasi lemak at Village Park that looks a bit like this). But if you're there to just eat and don't mind spending THAT much...i'd definitely recommend this!

Fish noodles RM22
>Sea fresh garoupa slices with thick rice noodles in spicy seafood stock with salted vegetable, ginger and spring onions with a dash of milk topped with crispy ginger beard (spiciness optional)
- I seriously love the way they present their food. Definitely +1 point to them! And the way they describe their dishes makes it harder for anyone to order because everything sounds so good! This dish was a bit salty and some strands of noodles were a bit hard. Also, there was a strong rice wine taste. Tasted okay. But i will definitely not order this because this dish tasted really normal and nothing special especially with that kind of price.

Grilled Salmon with Tarragon and Garlic Paste RM37
>Fillet of salmon pan grilled and baked, topped with special creamy tarragon paste, served with roasted potatoes and side salad.
-This dish was over-seasoned. The salmon was salty, the sauce was salty but a bit sourish, the fish skin was salty but crunchy and the wedges were salty but nicely grilled. The presentation of the dish was really good. I enjoyed it...however, it wasn't...wow-ing. When you pay so much for a dish, you expect a lot from it. But for this...I didn't quite 'feel' it :(

Mustard and Herbs crusted baked Chicken RM28
> Boneless thigh of chicken marinated in bountiful of herbs and spices, baked and served with fresh mashed potato topped with brown sauce and seasonal vegetable.
-The brown sauce was quite thick and too much pepper with over powered the other flavors in the dish. The chicken meat was tender but if you eat it without the sauce, it just tastes okay. Mash potatoes were pretty delicious. But the seasonal vegetable looked...sad? lol

Lemongrass Ice Cream Parfait RM12
>Homemade lemongrass ice cream on homemade lemongrass jelly with a dash of lemon juice
-How can you end your night without dessert???? THIS WAS REALLY GOOD. Tasty and light! Even if you're stuffed at the end, you definitely still can fit this in! I love how the lemongrass made it not so 'jelak' (you don't get sick after eating for a long time) Everything about this dessert was really yummy! #musttry


Overall, 7.5/10 for this restaurant.
-They serve really pretty looking dishes. Definitely need to be consistent with the seasoning, taste and flavors of dishes. Spacious restaurant and friendly waiters/waitresses.

Anyways,
have a great week and stay tuned for more reviews :D
