I recently had the opportunity to visit Macalister Mansion's Dining Room restaurant. It's suppose to be Penang's fine dining French restaurant. Thus my very enthusiasm to find out how the food is, there.
They only serve dinner... hence the same of the restaurant.
I went there last month and it was for a work function
Here's what we had.
The first course was the salad.. This was so interesting. Even the presentation of the dish was so elegant.
It was raw salmon, with raspberry jelly at the bottom shaped like a red moon. It came with the tossed salad encircled in a ring of cracker. I liked this very much!
This is the palate cleanser. Mango sorbet.
Next off is the Main Course. Cod fish!!
This was a generously thick piece of cod fish! It was tasty and simply delicious! It was topped off with caviar.
As you can see, I clearly cleaned off my plate! hehehe
Then it was time for desserts...
An edible bowl made of chocolate, filled with ice-cream, caramel crisp, nuts, and edible flowers... You have to eat it with a bit of everything to taste the completeness of the dessert. I was blown away with the presentation :))
Lastly, they served petit four... comprising of the famour macaroon, a fruit tart, chocolate, and a biscuit with fruit. Simple and effective...
I was so so happy that night. The dinner was simply divine... hahaha...

Here's what we had.
For starters, they served mini croissants with tuna and caviar, a dinner roll and treats.
Drinks was mango juice or was it orange juice... and plain water :)

Second course was the seafood soup. It was supposed to be ?seabass soup with crab...Before it reached our table, I could smell this as it was coming out of the kitchen. It certainly smelled like Hokkien Mee... that prawn-ny! This was the least favourite of mine. It came with croutons and in the top right corner of the soup bowl (pic), it's the crab meat in cream.
