Chef Anton Mosimann is returning to Genting 25-28 September 2008
nekochan
Chef Anton Mosimann will be returning to The Olive @ Genting for this year's Michelin star dining. Actually, it looks like they are only bring him back unlike previous years which saw the program stretch out with various Michelin star chefs over a much longer period. And Chef Mosimann is only coming for 4 days.

Having had the opportunity to taste his Mosimann's food last year, it was something that made my tastbuds go "wow!" I decided that's how I will judge my meals these days; it must make me want more of the same dish, it must make me want to return to the same restaurant / outlet to try other dishes and at the end of the dinner, I want to go "Wow!"

I wonder what Mosimann will be cooking this year?

Genting - City of Eat, Eat, Eat

Looks like there's going to be a food fest up at Genting Highlands Resort in the coming months ...

July 1-14: There's the Perak Food Fest at Restoran Kampung
July 1 - Aug 8: It's the Food and Fruits Fiesta at First World Cafe. They normally put out some pretty decent durians so it's all you can eat durian plus other Malaysian fruits.

But what I'm looking forward to is the Middle Eastern Food Promotion at Restoran Kampung. The food they had last year was really interesting and I got to try different types of middle eastern food, all at the buffet. If it's not to your palate so much, don't worry, the really great thing about the lunch (only) buffet at Restoran Kampung is that you also get to take the food from Resort Cafe which is joint to it and they serve mainly chinese food there.

I think Restoran Kampung is my favourite eating place at Genting because the food is always very tasty there. They also normally tend to cater for the tourist groups so the Indian food there is delicious too.

There's also rumours of there being a Sarawak Food promotion in August and I'm sure with the 8 of August 2008 thing, there will be some special promotion too. This is Genting afterall ...

The biggest rumour is that Anton Mossimon, the Michelin star chef will be coming back to The Olive again. Now that's something worth waiting for ...and driving up the hill for :)

An absolute FEAST up at Genting!
nekochan

Two Michelin chefs cooked for me in the past month! (haha!) I must be one of the luckiest foodies around ..

Chef Anton Mosimann
In early November, I had the priviledge of tasting the culinary talent of 2-Michelin Star Chef Anton Mosimann. His Cuisine Naturalle resulted in a lovely marinated salmon, poached chicken and extremely sinful bread & butter pudding for a very light and very, very satisfying lunch. To top it, we were also served some lovely chocolate truffles made by him.

He's a great PR person too, coming out to meet and chat with patrons. All this has possibly added to his appeal and success. We asked him about himself and he told us that he cooks regularly for Prince Charles and Queen Rania. Apart from having his own restaurant in London, he is also quite the entrepreneuer with and academy which not only offers lessons for up and coming chefs but Culinary Teambuilding activities for organisations! Now that would be a great experiential learning experience! Mosimann also offers a Search and Selection service ..

Service was very good at The Olive, with attentive waiters. As a take home souvenir, we received a bottle of olives from the restaurant, The Olive! (no pun intended, I'm sure :)

Chef Christian Moine
A month later, Chef Christian Moine was at the Olive to offer the Flavour of France. Unlike stodgy cream-smoothered french food normally, his was a very light and tasty twist.

We started lunch with a carrot and cumim foam (which was served in a chinese spoon and had my lunch companion and I looking at each other with the "this is ONE course???" look!) with grated carrots on top.

Second course was a lovely fish with Mediterranean vegetables. Third course was a chicken roulade in a very light cream sauce, accompanied with oven baked cheese covered potatoes. (Initally we had to choose between the fish OR chicken, but the waiter informed us that the chef changed his mind and now included BOTH as an offering).

I really can't remember what dessert was (which means it didn't make a huge impact on me!).

Unlike Chef Anton, Chef Christian was one of those Chefs who stayed in the kitchen the whole time and didn't come out or anything even if we were the only patrons on the restaurant at that time. I think I liked Chef Anton's approach - it makes him more accessible and it's stuff that celebrity chefs are made out out.

Anyway, I had a lovely time eating my way through The Olive, located at the Lobby level of Genting Hotel. Genting is sure becoming a place not just for gamblers and children but for the foodies as well ...
