Was having a morning meeting last week and after meeting it was lunch time and while heading to the next meeting we passby iL-Lido along the way, so we just swingby for lunch. And of course I was surprised to have fine dining during lunch hour but well... we were there.
It was a stand alone building, where downstairs it's a slot machine place and upstairs is iL-Lido. As usual a fine dining place decor will be a whoaaaaa.... due to quietness, but lucky there is a few tables with some business people dining there as well, so we didn't feel akward =P
Once seated, as usual you will be ask, "Hi Ma'am, coffee, tea, sparkling water or still water" and to save money sure still water la hahahaha... and after they will serve you their house made specialty bread and it was really yummy! having too much bread in the begining will only kill us before main course to be serve >.<
Soon, the appetizer is served which is the tiny miny Salmon Roulette, it was salmon wrap vege, and the taste hmmm ok la..
We had ordered a set lunch which is 4-course, and some of the dish we have different types so that we could try more varieties. And here comes the Onion Soup with Croutons, the aroma and every spoon you tasted it was out of words, the taste is just undescribable where the rich aroma of onion and it even taste differently when you add in the crispy thin layer garlic bread.
The other item of the 2nd course is the Fish Cake with Tomato Puree and Avocado Puree. I found that a bit too dry for this dish and nothing much to shout =P
After the appetizer and 2nd course with losta bread, we were actually FULL!! but we still have to eat our main course right?! and you also would likes to know what they have right? And here comes the manager Beppe sending his regards and also doing his PR with us haha..
ok..let's continue since Beppe left haha... we got Sea Bass with eggplant Caviar and Taggiacha Sauce for main course and I wonder how they grill the fish skin till it was so crispy ^^
The other main course is the Glazed Pork Belly serve with Mash Potato, there's is not much fats in it and again the pork skin is so so crispy even after you left it for 10mins, how awesome is that haha...
We starts burping after all what we ate and here comes the dessert which is Tiramisu, every bite give you different experience, whereby the Tiramisu taste bitter with the liquor and when you pair with a raspberry the taste just goes wow...
We were served with dark chocolate, milk chocolate and ummm cookies?! the dark chocolate it's soooo bitter and the white chocolate it's too milky and the cookies... ummm not good hahaha
Summary: Rating 9/10
The dining experience is good, and the food is really unexpected
Wonder how much is the total bill for a set lunch?? only RM138! haha... where else you can have fine dining with this kind of price?! So book now or bring your client for a unexpected dining experience ;)
