Food review @ Teeq Brasserie

Wednesday 14 October 2009

I’ve been a fan of Teeq Brasserie ever since it launched last week so a food review at this poshy outlet was naturally on the cards. Contacted YTL and they graciously agreed to host me for it. Deep was supposed to join in but he malas drive back so I asked Tyng Tyng to come along instead. Photographer Chan came along too.

Classy...

This is what we ate :

Starters : Tod Muan Pla, Pan-fried sea scallops, Larb Gai

Pla tod gbob 'spicy' - basically fried groupper

Aromatic lamb shank - yummy!



Confit of slow cooked salmon - the best salmon I ever tasted! Perfect!

Confit honey glazed duck

Tiramisu with a twist

Crunchy mixed fruit and passion fruit crumble - absolutely to die for!

Overall, food was very good because Chef Kevin Cape, YTL’s corporate chef, cooked it himself. Portions are small but it’s just nice. Pricing is reasonable for the ambience. The most expensive item on the menu was the grilled grain-fed Australian beef for RM65. Starters are roughly RM20 and mains from RM40 – RM60.

You can pair your food with wines too at a very reasonable price of RM21 for a 15cl glass.

It’s a classy but unpretentious joint where the chef mingles with the guests and makes a point to know you by name. Do try it out, if not for the food, for the classy romantic ambience.

Teeq Brasserie has a seating capacity of 200 guests and offers you a good value three-course meal at approximately RM100. It is open for dinner every evening (except Monday) and also for lunch on Saturday and Sunday. For reservations, please call 03-2782 3555.

Champanged @ Rootz Launch

Saturday 17 Oct 2009

This week/month is all about new outlet launches. It’s my 3rd club launch this week alone after coming back from that non-alco free homestay week. Oh wait, It’s Deepavali today too so Happy Deepavali to all my Hindu friends!! May the light shine in your lives always.

What I love about festivals in Malaysia is that everyone celebrates it, no matter race or religion. That means all of us get to go to open houses and makan & tani all we like. There were a few houses to choose but it was all around the same lunch time so went to RV’s. Quite a sizable crew was there – Khabs & Shehnaz, Effa, GB, Sim, Glee and of course our usual Sniper Crew.

Makaning & lepaking @ RV’s pad

Came back, made my 8th batch of tuak and decided to head off to town for the launch of YTL’s new club, Rootz, located next to Teeq Brasserie.

Trust YTL to make it an event to remember. They really are generous when it comes to their launches. Just like their Teeq launch, it was free flow of champagne, wine, beer and a ridiculous assortment of cocktails that lasted throughout the night. It was still flowing when I left at 3am.

The club’s pretty poshy, complimenting their fancy Teeq outlet next door. They had an overseas DJ (didn’t remember who though, but was good), the Latino boys on percussions who performed at Teeq and sexy podium dances too.

Couldn’t find Tiffany but bumped into Victor & Joyce instead.

Fancy fancy

Yea, keep them flowing

The night’s entertainment

Teeq Brasserie Launch @ Lot 10 Roof Top

Wednesday 14 October 2009

Think I had enough of the kampung life for now so I jumped at the chance to attend YTL's new pad launch Teeq Brasserie which is located on top of Lot 10. Deep was the invitee, I was the luggage.

The place is really poshy. It lights up beautifully, something like the KLPAC grounds. Trust YTL to do it well. View's not that great coz of the buildings but you could see the twin towers & KL Tower so ok la.. And met Abby of all people at the launch! Awesome!

YTL's really generous with their drinks. there were bubblies (mumms), wine, beer and a HUGE variety of cocktails. We knocked ourselves out. They had good canapes too and really cute burgers :)
