The man himself: Harrods chef de cuisine Tony Cham.

THOSE with a taste for the finer things in life would certainly appreciate the dining experience at the Harrods Tea Salon in KLCC.

With its Georgian-inspired décor of exquisite wood panelling, dark chairs teemed with moss green cushions, the verandah-like setting of the tea salon, plus a picturesque view of the park are hugely seductive to begin with.

For this fasting month, Harrods is offering special Ramadan menus to its customers who seek to enjoy a relaxing environment for buka puasa. However, unlike last year, this time they are offering a different menu each day to enable diners to relish a variety of dishes to enhance their experience.

At a recent sampling of their Ramadan menu, Harrods chef de cuisine Tony Cham offered two main courses, one soup, and two types of desserts for us to try.

We started with soup, Carrot and Date Soup to be precise. The creamy texture of carrots, and the sweetness of the dates provided a lingering taste to the tongue. Verdict: Not bad.

Tantalising: Barbecued Chicken with Sumak served with briyani rice and greens.

But it was served cold, hence one can only imagine how it would have been if it was enjoyed hot.

Next we tried the Pan Fried Dory Fillet with Curry Leaf and Mustard Seed Sauce. It was served with glazed carrots, fennel and potatoes. I liked this dish very much. What’s good about the fish is that it was pan fried with just salt and pepper before it was oven baked.

So when we tried it — the original flavour of the fish was retained and when enjoyed with mustard seed sauce it was just nice. Simple and divine.

The Barbecued Chicken with Sumak came next and was enjoyed immensely. A whole leg of chicken is marinated with Middle Eastern Spices and served with Briyani Rice.

The meat was tender and soft and flavourful — due to the many different types of herbs and spices used.

Since the Ramadan menu is based on the East Meets West theme, chef Cham used ingredients from both worlds.

Sweet endings: End the meal with Little Lemon Tartlets and Cream Vanilla Panna Cotta served with berries

“Sumaq – a dark purple berried spice is used to flavour the chicken, together with paprika, rosemary, cumin, and coriander which are mixed together as a marinade for the chicken,’’ Cham said.

He added that the chicken was marinated for 48 hours before it was grilled and roasted in an oven. It was then glazed with barbecue sauce and served with carrots, fennel and greens.

We ended our meal with Little Lemon Tartlets and Cream Vanilla Panna Cotta served with berries and Harrods Teh Tarik.

Simply delicious! My advice, don’t leave without trying the tartlets, they are exquisite!

The Ramadan Buka Puasa Specials are priced at RM90 per person with two main course selection, and buffet appertisers and dessert choices which are prepared daily by the chef.
