Especially Impiana KLCC Hotel has a strategic location where it can be connected via KLCC-Bukit Bintang Pedestrian Walkway (SKY Bridge) to Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Twin Towers and City's Premier Shopping Complexes.

Thus it is quite comfortable to dining in the beautiful environment. Obviously, my good friend and I love to capture the beautiful photo surrounding.


Besides that, we are craving at the meals to be served. Wow, I surprised to see Carpaccio of Portobello Mushrooms which is an unique dishes. The taste is quite different where I never eat before. Well, it is my first time to taste this kind of the dishes. It has the meaning of the behind story. Curious?


You SHOULD not miss the delectable dish named Carpaccio of Portobello Mushroom, Chef Helmut created it in year 1991 according to him, it is the most special year because of his team's success in winning the most award in Austrian gastronomy, the "Chef of the Year, Austria" award by Gault Millau. So he reinvent the dish with new condiments and ingredients for an added twist and bring out new flavours.


After that, the next meal which is Cream of Kohirabi where it is Chef's reccomendation. Wow, it is very awesome experience to taste the soup. When the food served, it contains butter sealed scallop, baby greens and coral tuille. Firstly, my good friend and I suprised to see it however the chef poured the cream on our plate. It is a perfect taste and has creamy and smooth once I taste it. So delicious and awesome! Love this so much.


One of the most attractive meal named Pan Fried Filet of Malaysian Barramundi which is the special as the ingredients is very rare and unavailable in Malaysia such as the sorrel herb and kohlrabi, a tasty and crisp vegetables also known as German Tulip. It is a pleasure to explore this meal. Quite delicious. For those people who love fish, you can order this. Otherwise there is a plenty of choice can be selected.


Lastly, the dessert has served, it is A Medley of White Chocolate & Raspberry. It comes with citrus creme and crispy snaps (on side). It is a bit sour and sweet combination. Anyways, you can choose another dessert in the menu if you are not Raspberry Lover.



In addition, those people who love seafood salads, Skaagen Shrimp Salad which is a light and refreshing starter before lunch and meanwhile meat lover will love the classic Mediterranean Grilled Meat Gyros served with light tzatziki sauce on the side. For the dessert, you may try a highly recommendation named Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce and Ice Cream's version in a smoky and dramatic manner.



Another recommendation is Austalian Beef Wagyu Ribeye Steak, Foie Gras "Magyar"(pan seared French duck liver served with apple pear compote, Hungarian paprika just and pomme de terre noisette), Gambas and Garlic (juice grilled tiger prawns with tomato coulis, sage, garlic, extra  virgin olive oil and served with garlic rubbed baguette), The Big (ann oversized pizza suitable for sharing among 3-4 people) and the Passionfruit and Cocount Mousse Globe, drizzled with hot chocolate.
