Brilliant Sunday Brunch @ Dish, Dua Annexe, Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur

Stylish Dish, freshly shucked oysters tasting of the sea

During the weekend, whenever the other half asks me what we are going to eat, I must admit my brain goes completely blank!! Hence, I sometimes try to plan a little better by coming up with lists on what I wish to try during the weekend, but like we all know Murphy's Law works in mysterious ways!


choices from the salad and antipasti table: grilled onions, asparagus with beef bacon, breadsticks, cherry tomatoes and the tiny pan seared foie gras

Believe me, I had a long string of choices but somehow, they all ended up in dead ends - one didn't look appealing at all despite the glowing reviews, another place wasn't opened yet or the place was just too busy that there was nary a parking space available.


carrot juice to perk up our brain cells

Thus, we ended up a little tired (imagine driving all over town from place to place!), tempers afray and tummies growling at Dish for their "Brilliant Brunch". I guess fate was conspiring for us to sample their brunch as it was actually my first choice BUT the other half wasn't too keen about it. He eventually came around, after he realised it was either starve to death or sample Dish's feast of yummy food.


roasted pumpkin soup served to the table, gorgeous roast prime rib beef

Don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with the quality of Dish's offerings but more due to the fact, we're not big fans of buffets since we're no mammoth eaters. Nevertheless, we sat down at Dish and were dazzled with their spread of yummy food.

Usually hotels throw us these lavish looking buffets but when you go through dish by dish, it may look tempting but tastewise, you end up with only one or two exceptional dishes. However, at Dish, it's an entirely different ballgame.


caramel macadamia cheesecake to die for

Here, we loved almost everything we popped into our mouth with the exception of two dissapointments - the chilled tiger prawns at the ice station weren't fresh (no bouncy taste at all) and the pan seared foie gras with poached apples and cranberry sauce was such a tiny portion, my spoon almost overwhelmed it!


chocolate fountain with strawberries and marshmallows, macaroons and truffles, almond toffee bar, rocky road bar

If we had to draw a list, we had more on the positive section as the freshly shucked oysters wowed us, the freshly squeezed juices (we weren't in the alcoholic mood for champagne but I can imagine Veuve Clicquout bubbly to be a good choice), the roast prime rib beef, truffled mash, the fresh salads and antipasti, roasted pumpkin soup, the canapes especially the duck confit with filo pastry, the truffles, macaroons, cheesecake, tiramisu and etc etc etc, till the tummy gives way.



TWG tea to chase the blues away, bread and butter pudding and cream puffs encased in caramel


We ended the meal with a big satisfying sigh, rubbing our full tummies and feeling so sated from the good food. It was a feeling that somehow made the looming Monday blues (I was working on Monday!) so much more bearable. Definitely the ultimate way to kick back and enjoy with friends!! While the price of the buffet will make it hard to eat it all the time, we reckon it is best to reserve it for special occasions to perk up life! For more pictures on the food, see my Flickr set.
