Many of you familiar with
Culinary Pleasures in Cyberjaya know that they have been making waves with
their gourmet food, artfully infusing the best flavors from around the world. Completely
organic & natural, their cuisine does not use MSG, additives, preservatives,
artificial coloring, chemicals, or any other harmful substances.
To ensure the highest
standards of quality - Restaurateur, Entrepreneur, Passionate foodie and
genuinely nice guy owner Mohd Ali insists on manufacturing his very own blend
of natural sauces, syrups and creams that makes his food overwhelm you first with its appetizing appearance and then
with the absolute top notch quality of the servings. Naturally he is keeping
the recipes close to his chest. Like duh…;-)

Mohd Ali is justifiably proud
to manufacture, in his own factory right here in Malaysia, his own brand of handmade,
European gourmet quality organic ice creams, sweets and confectioneries of the
highest quality and awesomely amazing flavors to complement his line of gourmet
coffee & tea. He uses real cream as opposed to the generic milk or water
and emulsifiers normally found in commercial ice creams. Hint - the Musang King
Durian and Dark Chocolate are to die for!
Insisting on cleanliness in
every step of his operation, Mohd Ali has earned his restaurant the coveted A
rating from Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, ensuring that your dining
experience is a truly enjoyable one. Note that there is a breezy and beautiful Al Fresco area for smokers and outdoor junkies.
Indeed Mohd Ali is the
relentless driving force and visionary behind this unique restaurant, drawing
from his personal foodie experience gained from travelling every country on the
globe twice (Well maybe not North Korea ;-) Hahahaha) to infuse the most delicious flavors into every
single meal he serves. It’s not unusual for him to fuse the unique flavors of
up to seven different countries in a single dish.
However what blows me away
every time I visit to indulge my family and friends is that despite the amazing
quality and generous portions he offers, his menu is incredible value at unbelievably
affordable prices.
You will remember in the
opening paragraph above I said Culinary Pleasures is making waves. Well those
waves are about to turn into a Tsunami, baby, because...
Culinary Pleasure Unveils New International Gourmet Menu and Sweets
Along with a boisterous bunch
of Ali’s friends, frigglive was invited to sample Culinary Pleasures’ brand new
menu, the offerings personally, painstakingly and meticulously concocted by Ali
- some of them a “world’s first”.

We started with his unique 9”
X 3” deep dish "pizza cake" – which was as lip smackingly delish as
it looked, chock full of minced beef, fresh spinach, basil, Kalamata black olives,
2 types of mushrooms, 3 types of tomatoes and 3 types of caramelized onions,
all held together with melted cheese.

Check out the ooey gooey yummeh cheese

A portion of this pizza is a meal by itself. *Note that this dish requires a 1 and a
half hour notice to prepare so please do call ahead if you want to try it.

The 2nd course was tender
juicy lamb fillets with fresh Rosemary, garlic bulbs and baby onions, flame
grilled live on a hot pan right in front of us.

If you love lamb, you will be
in heaven here as the meat is without much of the usual fat yet very juicy,
tender and falls off the bone.

Not quite done with us yet,
Ali flourishes his 3rd course – premium beef fillet mignon gently
grilled with fresh herbs, potato wedges, tomatoes, garlic bulbs and baby
onions. We thoroughly enjoyed succulent and very flavorful meat, complemented
perfectly by the accompanying condiments.
While I realize that the
pictures above depict what looks like a very heavy meat based meal, I can
assure you that the top quality meats and fresh ingredients used resulted in more
culinary pleasure (Hey!) than the heaviness normally associated with
over-eating.

Also, Ali had very thoughtfully
plied us with copious amounts of his own blend of Cinnamon Tea which aids
digestion, and a healthy lifestyle drink made up of lemongrass, lime, lemon,
honey and mint leaves. We also sampled another of Ali’s world firsts – His very
own Durian Turkish Delight.

For dessert, we were served a
scoop of the world famous Durian ice cream, soft Durian Nougat and Durian Glace
(a combination of ice cream and nougat).

For dessert, we were served a
bar of hard Durian nougat, a scoop of Chocolate ice cream and a scoop of Pina Colada
(Pineapple) ice cream. No your eyes are not playing tricks and you read that
right. We had TWO desserts. Talk about decadence. Heh.

While chit chatting with Ali
over dessert #2, one thing led to another and before we knew it, there in a
puff of smoke was an Affogato in front of us – Ali’s own signature coffee brewed
triple strength with Durian ice cream dunked in it. This drink should come with
a mandatory warning - it is very addictive stuff.

For those lost souls who have
yet to sample what Culinary Pleasures has to offer - tarry no more. There is no need to eat mediocre food. Not when awesomeness is yours for a very
reasonable price, service is great and parking is easy and ample.
