In all my life, I’ve never met a louder bunch of people. Just one foot into the entrance of Sage, a very dignified establishment if I may add, and I was greeted by a deafening “Surprise!!” by a rambunctious crowd from the other end of the room. Warms the cockles of my heart, I tell you.
The best thing about foodies, and such a generous lot these guys are too, is that they always know the best places to eat. Sage is a favourite simply because the quality is consistently top notch. The lunch menu is a pretty good deal. For RM100, one gets a starter, main and dessert, a soft drink and a coffee or tea. The menu changes weekly.
I like the foie gras at Sage. Some restaurants screw up the preparation by overcooking it, but at Sage, the foie gras is seared such that the centre is still a little raw while the surface is crisp and clean. The quality of the foie gras is definitely superior. If you’re lucky, you’ll find braised wagyu cheeks – that gelatinous piece of heaven – in the menu. The lunch menu doesn’t offer as many options as the dinner menu. Only two choices of each (starter, main, dessert) are offered, but if you think you’ll be getting any less quality as compared to the dinner menu, you’re wrong. The preparation and presentation of each dish is as immaculate as ever, and the pairings of flavours and ingredients, like the vichyssoise of hokkaido scallop with summer truffles which includes puréed Jerusalem artichokes, is wonderful.

Oh i know that place, always pass by but i never stop and try it out! I will stop by the next time I am there..talk about Gardens, I really love the food at the Yogitree which is at 1st or 2nd floor.
Being the humongously giving person that you are, this truly exemplifies ‘you get what you give’!:D
And the lil bunnies are soooooo adorable!!
Y’know, I used to think such miniscule portions are hardly enough to line the stomach. But after my recent trip, I found that my maturing appetite can indeed be satiated by such 3 course meals. I still remember the good old days of yore where we could gorge on the infamous high tea/brunch buffets. And still go for teochew porridge supper.
Anyway, I digress. 😀
Glad you had a wonderful party with frens. May you have many more to come. Looking forward to your account of the private party with BE..
BTW on the first line of my previous comment, no pun intended.. 😀
surrrprize! can’t wait for the BE surprise post;)
May each day be a new day for you that you will rejoice because God has created it to be so.
My ‘prize’ was just great – Tks for being the beautiful person our Lord made you to be!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
happy happy birthday!
this must be one of those ‘more’ successful surprise parties, eh? haha!
great job, the friends who organized the party! there’s nothing better than some warm cockles. 🙂
Happy Belated Birthday!!! Sorry… I’m currently living in a timeless zone, lost track of the dates and only knowing the day of the week from what tv show is on that day! And today I could finally ‘borrow’ some internet access. Make it up to you when I’m liberated ya! 😉
Oops. A bit late but here goes: HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY! *hugs*
🙂
*Hugs meenachi* Happy birthday again dah-link. Waits in corner with GFAD for your post on partee <:* with BE 😉
XOXOXOXO *grin*
Happy Belated Birthday! Looks like you had a fab celebration 🙂 I think I would enjoy the food at The Sage but that location is not somewhere I’d usually go (traffic and parking can be a nightmare). Although, I am now very tempted to try it out, thanks to your lovely photos!
ACKS, that reminds me I have to go there again this friday, but now cant!!!
why your food looks better than mine ah? chis!
Sage = Yuummm 🙂
