Mr Ian Hurst
Having good company over dinner is a must and for myself I always the lucky one who gets to seat in with a group of food connoisseur. That night Mr. Ian Hurst the General Manager of Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur played the host and introduced us the creation of Chef GIovanni Ricci from Senja. A true charming host he was and without any hesitation, he was already directing us through the awesome journey of Italian gastronomy.
Warm Crusty Focaccia Bread served with Olives, Sun-dried Tomato and Creamy Cheese Dip
I just like being pampered with lovely and soft breads while on the waiting. Warm Crusty Focaccia Bread was placed on a flat wooden chopping board that came with delicious dippings, Olives, Sun-dried Tomato and Creamy Cheese. soaking the bread into the creamy cheese was truly a heaven experience, simple and tasty. Definitely gearing up to my awesome appetite.
Vegetable Terrine and Buffalo Mozzaella
The Vegetables Terrine and Buffalo Mozzarella had a distinct light flavour that ran well with my taste pallete. It was kept simple and maintained the natural flavors. The terrine features a medley of grilled carrot, zucchini and eggplant enveloping a luscious buffalo mozzarella served with a parmesan fondue, basil juice and extra virgin olive oil. The parmesan fondue was truly teasing me, it was good.

Squid Ink Ravioli with Smoked Salmon and Caviar
Indeed unique, encountering a black slick chic ravioi can be truly a mysterious experience. Utilizing squid ink in the formation of the pasta dough, the Squid Ink Ravioli came running with an al dente texture precisionly stuffed with Smoked Salmon and topped with Caviar. Then gentlely covered the ravioli with Beurre blanc a white butter sauce emulsified from butter and other ingredients. When biting into it, I felt a sudden rush of bursting saltiness of smoked salmon, the roes and black caviars. Justy one word, beautiful.
