@P.I.M.P,
I haven't been on a "romantic" night out for *cough cough* like ever so I realli don't know! My take is that the restaurant CAN make some form of arrangements but it will be at your cost. If it's something they oredi haf [a string quartet for example] U probably can get it FOC.

Once U've decided on the place perhaps U could call them up or go in and discuss with them in detail. If U realli want something v romantic, perhaps U could consider renting a hotel suite and having dinner at the suite - go for the Villa's @ Sunway.

Let me go through the vouchers Shangri-la sent me together with their Prestige Platinum membership card. I think there just might be an exclusive 'romantic escapade' package which includes a hotel stay + dinner for 2 @ LaFite. I don't think it'll be of use to me - if U want, I guess I could sell it to U.

PM me if ur interested cause I need to check what the T&Cs are. It might require me to make the bookings and pay for it in person but if it's Shangri-la KL, I'll make that trip just for U lah since it's ur special night Am sure we'll be able to find a way to work around the T&Cs.

When do U intend to make ur move btw?!

These are my top favourites out of your list:

Frangipani - great food with fusion elements
25 Cangkat Bukit Bintang, 50200 Kuala Lumpur
Tel: (603) - 2144 3001
Lafite (French) - new chef (Damon) just arrived a few weeks back and introduced molecular gastronomy; think Ferran Adria (although Adria takes it further)
Lobby level, Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur, 11 Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur
Tel: (603) - 2074 3900
Cilantro Restaurant & Wine Bar (French) - great food but IIRC it is still closed for renovation, maybe it has reopened?
Micasa Kuala Lumpur, 368B Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur
Tel: (603) - 2179 8000 ext-101


These are pretty good but a tier below my top 3 above in my experience:

Chalet
Hotel Equatorial, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur
Tel: (603) - 2162 7777
Villa Danieli (Italian)
Sheraton Imperial, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur
Tel: (603) - 2717 9922


This one is ok-only... maybe I went there too often for business lunches already:

Pacifica Grill
Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur, KLCC, 50088 Kuala Lumpur
Tel: (603) - 2380 8888


And I didn't like the food here:

Third Floor
Level 3, JW Marriott Hotel, Jalan Bukit Bintang
Tel: (603) - 2715 9000
Le Bouchon
14-16, Cangkat Bukit Bintang 55200 Kuala Lumpur
Tel: (603) - 2142 7633


Other places you may want to consider for a romantic ambience:
1. Tamarind Springs - Ampang
- IndoChinese food

2. Ma Maison - Ampang
- Very home-like feel to this French place. Cash only

@Sub_zil,
eLLo... the fella wants to propose to his gf lah!

Your package sounds good. But I think just a nice dinner night would be sufficient enough with the romantic setting. Honestly I've nvr been to fine dine before and I don't know what to expect. That's why I'm asking around my friends & on LYN. Hopefully this will give me more ideas.

I'm not in M'sia right now. Therefore, even if I want to make my move, I gotta wait till I'm back. And that would be beginning of next year. Haha.

@P.I.M.P.
AHhH..... well U can do ur research now.. oK.. Ur not proposing - TS is EXCEPT he seems to be v much MIA of late.

Are U abroad studying/working? Where?

AhHh.. I just checked the vouchers - there IS a special one called 'Lafite Suite'. Bearer is entitled to a 1 night stay in a 1 Bedroom Suite with 2-course Candle Light dinner (for 2) & a bottle of champagne in the room for RM998++

TS - I've NO use for this at the moment - if U want it, just PM me lah.

Yeap. Just doing my research now. Gotta prepare the umbrella before it rains. I don't like last minute planning. Usually it'll screw up as far as I'm concern. Therefore, I always like to prepare in advance.

I'm studying in U.S. Graduating this December. And then see if there's any luck with job hunting here.

Wow, the "Lafite Suite" you mentioned seems like it will take my gf's heart & soul away. It'll definitely melt her heart IF I surprise her with that package.

@P.I.M.P.
And it's pretti 'cheap' too - I mean, just the room charges itself would probably amount to close to maybe RM1k p/night *shrugs* Yeah I should sell it off for RM1.5k.. muAhaHAHahHA...

If U decide on it when ur back U know who to PM - the voucher's valid till Jul '09 and I've a feeling it will remain unutilised *grins*

Mind me asking; where in the USA? And are U studying?

Oh we can work around the prices if I'm interested when I'm back. I know who to PM, you'll hook me up right.

I'm in state of Nebraska, right in the middle of U.S. Its frigid cold in the winter and smoking hot in the summer (right now). I'm still studying, gonna grad in December. Can't wait till graduation. Kinda tired of books.

@P.I.M.P.
Yup... Just drop me a line closer to date if U want it

U mentioned the still studying bit twice but what are U studying [and we are so going OT here!]?

Ok will do.

Oh that's what I thought. Wonder why you'd asked twice. Hehe. Well, I'm studying finance & accounting. What you mean OT?

@P.I.M.P,
OT stands for 'Out of Topic' - I said we're going OT because this discussion thread was meant to talk about 'Fine Dining' places

Oh ok. Gotcha

Am surprised we haven't heard back from Pennywise.

Busy fine dining I guess.

@P.I.M.P,
Or perhaps preparing for the wedding? *grins*

Hey tinkerbel,

I know this is kinda OT, but what was the most memorable + romantic experiences you've ever had in your fine dining experience?
