Right now, it's almost 9.00a.m in the morning here in Malaysia.
And... I'm still awake...
Because I can't sleep...
So, I decided to proceed with my new post. :D
Don't be fooled.. I'm still awake...
So, today I would like to talk about Wangsa Grill by Chef Zubir. Chef Zubir is a Malaysian Celebrity Chef and he was one of the main judges in Masterchef Malaysia and also Masterchef Selebriti Malaysia (Celebrity Masterchef Malaysia). Apart from Wangsa Grill, he also has another restaurant named Laman Grill. Since Wangsa Grill is near to my neighbourhood, I waited for my chance to dine there... And I finally got it as my family wanted to have dinner there.
If you're lucky, you can even meet Chef Zubir in person at Wangsa Grill and take a selfie or two with him. :D
Unfortunately, he was not there when I dined there. Maybe next time :)
When we first stepped into Wangsa Grill, we were greeted by friendly staffs. As they led us to our table, I was mesmerized with the interior of the restaurant. It is quite modern and classy . The plants in the restaurant gives a soothing green touch to the chic interior. As for the seating area, there are two sections; inside and outside of the restaurant so there are plenty of room for everyone; solo diners, couples, families or even small parties. Despite the spacious areas, the restaurant will be full during peak hours (lunch and dinner) so it is best for you to reserve your table beforehand. :)
Furthermore, Wangsa Grill provides restrooms and also Surau (Muslim Prayer Room).

Chef Zubir and his creations and achievements.

As the night goes on, these empty seats are gradually being filled up :)

So spacious that you can even host small parties :)

So, what have we ordered?
Potato-Leek Cream Soup
Potato and Leek are melded together into this wonderful soup.
The flavours are well-balanced as I can taste both potato and leek notes and the beef bits garnish gives out a wonderful smoky and savory touch to this light and creamy soup.
Mushroom Soup
A wonderful blend of wild mushrooms with cream and served with toasted garlic bread.
Very rich and flavourful.
Nachos
Crispy nachos topped with spiced ground beef,
zesty pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, tangy salsa and baked with cheese.
Served together with a strawberry-melon shot.
Beef Steak 'escalope'
Love steak? Love pasta? Well, this is the perfect dish for you.
Juicy steak charbroiled to perfection topped with creamy mushroom ragout
served with wilted savory veggies on a bed of flavourful flat pasta.
There's a sauce at the side for your steak. :)
Japanese Akame Tuna Steak 'Tempura'
Medium-rare tuna steak herb-crumbed and fried to golden perfection
and served with soba noodles and spinach salad and teppan veggies.
Wangsa Grill Beef Sampler
If you LOVE beef and want to sample different takes of beef, this dish is a perfect choice.
This beef trio consists of:
Sirloin 'golden pillow' with creamy foam on top of a veggie medley,
Succulent braised short ribs with smoky barbecue sauce on top of velvety sweet potato mousseline,
Flame-grilled centre-cut fillet mignon on a bed of spinach and topped with creamy mushroom ragout.
My personal favourite is the fillet mignon :)
'Surf & Turf'
Get the best of both worlds from the land and the sea in this dish;
Grilled half US Boston Lobster and Australian fillet mignon
served with veggie medley and tossed Australian pear-romaine salad
Here are our drinks :)
I kinda forgot the names but mine is on the left.
I was told that it was a new, off-menu drink.
It's really refreshing though :)
Californian Strawberry Float and Fresh Carrot Juice
Wangsa Grill also has a selection of scrumptious signature desserts; tarts, puddings, cakes, ice cream cakes and ice cream sundaes. However, we were too stuffed from the main course so we'll let it slide for now. Maybe next time we'll try them :)
Overall, I really enjoyed my dining experience here at Wangsa Grill. The food is deliciously divine and satisfying. The pricing is a bit pricey but it is really worth it as it is reasonable with the quality of the dishes. The staffs are friendly and helpful. The service is smooth and efficient. Love the ambiance of the restaurant; calm and relaxing.
Wangsa Grill is an awesome place to enjoy great food with your family and friends regardless of occasions and a cool place to have a romantic dinner with your beloved. Do note that Wangsa Grill will be crowded especially during dinnertime. It is best to call for reservations beforehand :)
