Australian Embassy Kuala Lumpur

Consular style dining. In a diplomatic bunker near Ampang Road.

 The hors douvres were fantastic. Pumpkin and hazelnut emulsion. Ricotta and Salmon. And tomato mozzarella. Wow that was a start fit for any ambassador.

 Justice was served with the soup.

The mains were even more remarkable. Red bean puree!  Chicken and cumin capsicum stuffing. Avocado cream. Another east & west combination.

The desert was nothing short of stunning with pineapple tart. Topped with a freeze dried pineapple over a fruit sorbet to make it look like a sunflower.

 Multiple views of the pineapple tart.

The lunch menu from KL Aust high com.

This needed a long meeting with presentations from his Excellency the ASEAN ambassador to digest the food. After this a quick run around the KLCC park which was across the road to prepare for dinner. Another story and more pictures. Later.
