in what universe does Laundry even come close to the definition of 'fine dining??'

would your gf dance or not if there's nobody else dancing?

the only place i've been to which has a dance floor is Qba in westin. But even then it's latin music (which is OK for me cos I do salsa). All other places it's strict dinner only ...

... mmm ... Villa Danieli in Sheraton KL also has a live band, but if memory serves correctly it isn't really danceable music either.

speaking of starwood privilege card, the discount apparently not valid in Mauritius - went to both Le Meridien and Sheraton four points and both places they gave me strange looks like they'd never seen the card before

Oh, there's a list of participating hotels? Didn't know that, thought it was ALL starwood hotels, haha.

too bad villa danieli food is crap, lol.

prego i've found that the starter bread is damn inconsistent, gotten cold bread few times already, but no complaints on the rest of the food which is actually damn cheap after starwood privilege.

@azr can't expect fine dining for two people for under rm100 lah bro.
@gashgan dude read the rest of the thread, there's already tons of recommendations
@prometric i've never been to lafite, but from what i've read it seems like even normal days will cost you rm600/couple. what more christmas eve dinner.
@ckuang euro deli is nowhere near fine dining. it's more like 'bistro' kind of shop. the damansara kim one even has a huge fridge with meats in the restaurant (like supermarket), lol. blogpost here if you interested.

eh, how come no dates on the flyer. only valid for today?

Guys,

Asking here instead of opening a new thread. Mum's b'day is on Monday. She wants to eat lobster, and I have no idea where to bring her cos I'm more of a read meat guy. Any ideas where to go that is decently good and won't break the bank (it's gonna be my entire family, 5 adults 2 kids, and I want to keep the cost down to rm500 or so).

valentine's will be expensive lor, cos all the restaurants will mark up their prices kau kau for speciall valentine's day set

and then you say, you can't travel far. but you don't tell us where you live. so how to recommend somewhere nearby? hehe.

depends on your budget lor. i guess cafe cafe kl, jalan maharajalela (near bukit bintang area). nice and romantic, and food also quite good. if not on valentine's day, ~rm300 for 2 ppl without wine.

cave closed down a while ago. food sucked anyway.

anyway where are you guys going for valentine's? i'm opposed to the sheer daylight robbery associated with the huge mark up in roses, food prices, and etc. but unfortunately my girl doesn't share the same view

maybe i'll cook instead. much cheaper and get additional brownie points as long as the food is decent. hehe.

haha. anyway starwood privilege got free wine/champagne and 20% off (instead of 50%) on their valentine's menus if any of you interested. No idea how much the menus cost though.

didn't bother quoting sheraton imperial cos only restaurant with valentine's offer is Essence, which is shiet.

[edit] prego valentine's menus! the downstairs-seating grill one is 188/pax, and the upstairs romeo-and-juliet one is a whopping 640/couple, lol ... D: ...

aiyo want to promote blog also disguise a bit mah. exact same post in the steaks thread without even changing any words

(not to mention your blogpost doesn't have any steak also, so ... what's it doing in the steak thread, haha).

anyway i love j&r's full works for breakfast, but I'd hardly agree with it being classifed as a 'fine dining' place.

c'mon guys ... valentine's how? i was lucky enough to be out-of-town last year cos of CNY so I can skip paying exorbitant prices for mediocre food, but this year not so lucky ... and gf already reminding me 3 weeks in advance that we skipped last year's celebration

(i didn't do anything or buy anything for her last year loooool)

@juschin yeah i went to lobsterman, was pretty good and very value for money too.


buffet and romantic don't go together.

best buffets in town food-wise are probably latest recipe (le meridien kl) or lemon garden (shang kl). both slightly above your budget, 110++. but even then, buffets are neither 'fine dining' nor 'romantic.'

best buffet ambience-wise is probably the one on KL tower cos you got rotating view of KL. but food so-so only.

live band doesn't mean fine dining, lol.

well the title of the thread is "fine dining recommendations."

what to do lah, there's no way for us to know your post was merged into this topic mah

^ how many people? Prime at Le Meridien has an awesome private room that overlooks the kitchen via those one-way-mirror/window things. I think can seat 8 or 10 or something like that.

oh oh favola (also le meridien kl) also has private dining area. full blogpost here but otherwise here's just a quick shot of the private room

Eh what is this doing in Food Market?

I'd gone to VD twice last year and though the food was a bit crappy. Gotta go again before my SP card expires to try new chef's food

limoncello? hehe. coincidence i was at westin last night too but at eest trying out their new non-halal menu. also booked via eatdrinkandmore but no free drink
