MIGF 2014---TANZINI; THIS WORLD CLASS RESTAURANT MANAGED TO SQUEEZE A TRIPLE WHAMMY FROM ME AS I GAVE IT NOT ONE BUT THREE '10'S! EACH DINER HAS TO AWARD POINTS FOR EACH COURSE FROM 1 TO 10, WITH 10 THE MAXIMUM. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY GLAM-SATURATED LIFE, I AWARDED TANZINI A TRIO OF PERFECT 1O'S! A '10' FOR CAPON CHICKEN & FOIE GRAS, A '10' FOR PRE-DESSERT RATTE POTATO CHURROS AND ANOTHER '10' FOR THE ULTIMATE DESSERT DEHYDRATED CARAMELIA MOUSSE, VALRHONA CHOCOLATE, MILK SOLIDS, AERATED ORANGE AND PINE SORBET! ALSO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MIGF 2014, THE GALA DINNER AT TANZINI ALSO INCLUDED A TABLE OF 20 FOR GUESTS OF PRESTIGE, ONE OF MALAYSIA'S LEADING HIGH SOCIETY MAGAZINES! SO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DINERS WAS 40.
