Though the dinner was held inside the super exclusive, 4-month old Genting Club, the food was from Imperial Rama chinese restaurant and L'Altitude though the menu spells it as Ltitude so I guess it is Ltitude though I know most solid gold Lolex-welling chinamen would not know how to 'plonoun' it properly! 


The first thlee I mean three dishes were from Imperial Rama restaurant consisting of Mantis Prawn with Passion Fruit Salad, Stewed Fish Maw with Yellow Fungus Soup and Braised Abalone with Morels in Superior Brown Sauce.  It came with 2 wine pairings. 

The full festival menu at Imperial Rama costs RM 498 nett with wine per person. Those on a budget can opt for the wineless version at RM 348 nett per person.

The third to sixth dishes were from Ltitude---grilled wagyu beef with herb jelly, quinoa risotto and cream, stone grilled seafood volcano and chocolate sphere with mascarpone mousse Baileys coffee icecream and warm chocolate sauce.

The Wagyu beef was delicious beyond words and exceptionally well done. The Seafood Volcano sounded weird and exotic and it was---a foot high 'volcano' made of wrapped seaweed with dry ice emanating from inside so it actually resembled a smoking volcano about to erupt or more likely had just finished exploding as its sides were coated with special hot sauce streaming down its side that was supposed to resemble magma! 

We all vowed to give it 20 out of 20 without even tasting the seafood of prawns and fish which we were supposed to wrap like popiah using the seaweed! 

Then came the coup de grace---dessert! We asked Dato Steve Day if we could give this 21 out of 20 but he said max was 20! 

The Chocolate Sphere came to us inside a transaparent glass flacon filled with dry ice inside so we could hardly see what morsels were lurking inside.

The glass flacon was removed before our eyeballs to reveal a mascarpone mousse which literally melted when chocolate sauce was poured over it. the mix of cold Baileys coffee ice cream and warm chocolate sauce was orgasmic and I almost creamed in my pants or something volcanic like that.

Almost all gave the dessert 20 out of 20 except Key Soon Yue who gave it 19 and was almost beaten up. 

Ltitude full festive menu is RM 448 per person with wine and RM 338 per person without wine.

Of course you would not be able to dine inside Genting Club unless you pay RM 20,000 for the membership but Imperial Rama is just as good.

For RM 20,000 you get RM 19,000 credit which you can use for food and beverages at 20% discount or as chips to gamble as there is a private gambling area inside Genting Club far away from all the aunties, uncles and prying eyes that haunt the main casino.

A Grand Premier room at Genting Grand is RM 602 (low season) to RM 1086 (high season), Grand Suite is RM 1500 (low season) and RM 2000 (high season) and Signature Suite is RM 4,600 (low) and RM 5800 (high).
