Wagyu Beef Promotion @ The Restaurant, The Club Saujana Resort

Well, if someone asked you what is the best meal you’ve ever had in your entire life, will you be able to come out with an answer? I couldn’t. Until Clumsy Boy told me that THIS was the best meal he has ever tasted in his whole life. I even said that he’s exaggerating because that’s exactly the trait of an Aries. But when he asked me back, I couldn’t help but to agree that this was indeed the best meal I’ve ever had too! A big thank you to the people at The Club Saujana Resort for inviting me to this Wagyu Beef Promotion food tasting session.

Before starting our set dinner, we had some casual chit-chatting while munching on handmade breadsticks and wafers provided. The Restaurant’s Executive Chef, Alexander Waschl, came from Austria and is part of the team that earned 16 Gault Millau points (equivalent of a Michelin Star) in Switzerland. During the whole month of July, you will get to enjoy an array of Wagyu beef-based dishes carefully crafted by Chef Alexander at a very attractive price!

Chef Alexander Waschl

According to Chef Alexander Waschl, they’re using premium Australian Wagyu Beef Grade 5 (BMS No. 8-9) for main courses and Grade 4 (BMS No. 6-7) for the rest of the dishes.

Spiced Wagyu Beef Tartar A La Carte Price: RM 128

In order to open up our appetite, we were served Spiced Wagyu Beef Tartar accompanied by a thin and crispy potato roesti and pan-roasted quaill egg with sour cream as appetizer. I especially like the crispy potato roesti because it’s not as thick as the conventional one and tasted like snack instead.

Wagyu Beef Carpaccio A La Carte Price: RM 128

Of all the dishes served, this is my favorite and the main reason why I enjoyed this set dinner so much. Wagyu Beef Carpaccio is a thin and long slice of raw wagyu beef served with Parmesan Cream, Parmesan Shavings, Aged Balsamic and a dash of extra virgin olive oil. I recommend that you first eat without dipping on the parmesan cream and then only try another mouthful by dipping it because the taste varies a lot. Personally, I’d prefer to eat it as it is because I wanted to enjoy every millimetre of the fresh wagyu beef.

Wagyu Beef Cheek Consommé A La Carte Price: RM 42

In this course, Homemade Wagyu Beef Cheek Ravioli was presented in 2 ways: with Vegetable Balls Shavings in beef broth just like the ones in Chinese beef noodle and .in a creamy thick sauce with minced beef. I preferred the latter because it has a stronger taste and I’m actually quite curious to taste the wagyu beef cheek on its own to feel the smoothness.

Braised Wagyu Beef Cheek A La Carte Price: RM 98

In the next dish, braised Wagyu Beef Cheek was wrapped into a ravioli, IMHO it’s similar to Chinese fried wanton but this is with wagyu beef filling. The inside tasted really juicy and flavorful while the outside is crispy and crunchy. Very fun to munch on!

Wagyu Beef Striploin A La Carte Price: RM 218

The main course in this set was this juicy and tender Wagyu Beef Striploin with a perfectly paired black pepper sauce. I normally avoid from eating steaks with black pepper sauce because it normally tastes too hot for me but this black pepper sauce that they used was just right; no spicy hot taste and yet contains the black pepper taste. I’d love it more if it’s prepared Medium-rare instead of Medium.

Chocolate Cake

Last but not least, our dessert – Chocolate Cake!! Delectable and sinful chocolate coupled with fresh raspberries is just perfect to end our course on a sweet note.

Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Sorbet

Oh wait! There’s Raspberry Sorbet too! The chef personally came out to add it for us 🙂 It tastes quite sour but I really love the smoothness of it.
