The Restaurant @ The Club Saujana Resort took home 14 MIGF (Malaysia International Gourmet Festival) last year and 18 awards from the recent MIGF 2013, making it the Overall Best Restaurant this year. In the 3.5 years Chef Alex had called Malaysia home, he had worked tirelessly on improving the entire dining experience in The Restaurant; with the most obvious changes reflected in the menu, the service and in every component of the food he serves.

I had personally followed its progress and had continuously been impressed. To date, my dinners here (MIGF, Christmas, wine pairing) had not disappointed and if possible, every meal seems better than last!

For those who have been inquiring after seeing my FB/Instagram postings, here are the prices and pictures of the dishes for the upcoming Christmas menu. Do make your reservations early!

The menu: Prices varies according to the number of courses selected, which means you don’t have to choose between say, 2 mains because you can select any dish to make 3, 4, 5 or 6 courses.

3 years. 3 years of being continuously amazed by Chef Alexander Waschl. It was like a 3 year affair that has finally reached its peak.
MIGF 2011 was “Hmmm… he’s good and the meal was promising“. In 2012 it was “Chef Alex is definitely a chef to watch out for.”
And this year, it’s just “Damn, I need to make dinners at The Restaurant a regular affair, not just an annual visit! “.

It was an educational and a magnificent dinner session with Chef Alexander of The Restaurant at the Club at the Saujana Resort last week. His passion and his conviction to serving the best cuisine within the best of his capability was something I noticed and admire when I first met him last year. Another dinner followed (the Michel Rolland wines pairing) and his attention to detail and skillfully crafted menu shone again.

Here I am, back at The Restaurant after my initial dinner here a month back. Seafood was exemplary on my prior visit and today, Chef Alexander totally outdid himself with the meats. Perhaps it’s time to pay some attention to The Restaurant, as opposed to the other restaurants in town.

The new kitchen maestro at work has certainly shown much potential. At this moment, I look forward to more creative dishes from Chef Alex, rather than the usual Modern European cuisine of lamb, veal and halibut. Perhaps a more intriguing and exciting menu would pull the crowd here?

Tonight was a dinner highlighting the wines of Michel Rolland.

The Rolland Collection is a range of Bordeaux wines with 5 appellations from the right bank where the Rolland family originated, in Pomerol, France.
Added to this, they have their favorites from ‘abroad’, discovered when travelling for their work. The new world range are 3 wines from Argentina and 2 from South Africa, followed by Spain and coming soon, who knows what other wine or personal adventures lie ahead!
