Basically WINE with food pairing |
KOTA KINABALU RESTAURANTS
reviews - May 2008 12 years ago, at the occasion of my wedding, a group of my wine-loving guests scoured KK for wine. We found only compound brandy to satisfy our thirst. The situation has certainly changed dramatically with, at least, FOUR major wine distributors established here. The range of wine has also expanded with choices from New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, France, Spain and Italy, besides the current favourite Australian wines. It is also not simply regional choices but also some depth of quality on the shelves. Despite numerous visits to this city, I have never found time to explore the restaurants at the "top"-end of the market. The comfort food of local restaurants with their reasonable prices for super fresh seafood, were too good to ignore. Alas, one's stomach can accept so much food at any one time. This time, however, is different. It was my wife's birthday and a lack of lunchtime companions that spurred me to propose lunch at @mosphere. This is the literally the stratospheric restaurant of Kota Kinabalu. Located on the 27th floor of Bangunan Tun Mustapha, it is the highest restaurant in town. The newly installed revolving platform allow diners a 360 degree view of the outside scenery throughout an hour of dining experience. Full review here A couple of days later, I came across an advertisement "French Wine Workshop" at the Hyatt Hotel, Kota Kinabalu. This would be my first foray into the wine drinking community of KK, so could not be missed. Draging my wife's cousin, Jocelyn, along, I signed up for the workshop inclusive of dinner at one of their 3 restaurants. Besides, it was her birthday, too, the day before. Full review here |
