The Best of Belgian Indulgence by Magnum KL Mid Valley
MAGNUM recently hosted an exclusive fine dining session at MAGNUM Kuala Lumpur to celebrate the
best of Belgian Indulgence where blogger/media were invited to caress their senses by
experiencing exquisite chocolate inspired dishes created using the highest
quality Belgian chocolate by Chef Steven
Chin, Group Executive Chef of Magnum Kuala Lumpur. For more than 10 years
he has been creating unique dishes for different type of cuisines and desserts
for five stars international hotels and fine dining restaurants and the
chocolate inspired signature dishes were the interpretations of his vast culinary
experiences and passion for chocolate.
We were served with spice
butternut squash velouté which is a
butternut pumpkin soup, scented with cinnamon and topped with shaved bitter
dark chocolate. The dark chocolate gave a smooth and light bitter taste of chocolate
for the creamy butternut soup and the dark chocolate goes amazingly well with
cinnamon.
Following was the
appetiser - marinated capellini pasta with ulam-ulaman served with crispy unagi
beignet, salted choc emulsion, soy reduction and crispy ginger. The combination
of the dark chocolate’s bitter sweet taste with the fried unagi and herbal
taste of cold marinated cappelini gave the guests a fun yet refreshing
appetizer experience.
There we go with the main course - pan seared
butterfish fillet served with sautéed baby spinach and white beurre blanc sauce which elevated the
whole gastronomic experience. Translated from French word "white
butter", white beurre blanc sauce
is a hot emulsified butter made with vinegar and shallots. In order to
incorporate the MAGNUM touch to
this, Chef Steven Chin added the MAGNUM white
chocolate to create a layer of sweet and sour taste to the butter fish fillet.
The ultimate Belgian
Indulgence came to its highlight when Death by Chocolate was served. It is the
richest chocolate dessert that MAGNUM Pleasure
Store has ever offered.
Death by chocolate is a baked to order warm chocolate
molten lava cake served with MAGNUM chocolate
brownies ice-cream and chocolate crunch pearls that tickled the taste buds and
indeed it was a remarkable pleasure to all guests.
