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 3^rd 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.
