A Taste of Luxury: Dégustation Menu at Sabayon EQ

Le Dégustation: Ultimate 7-Course Gastronomic Experience  

Sabayon's Le Dégustation menu offers a seven-course extravaganza that is the very definition of culinary indulgence, priced at RM798. The adventure commences with a playful array of amuse-bouches, each bite a delightful tease to the palate, setting the stage for what's to come. As you venture further, you'll encounter the smooth, velvety richness of salmon rillettes, followed by the opulent pairing of goose liver with the creamy subtlety of avocado. The journey takes a rustic turn with macaroni enveloped in a luxurious black truffle jus, dancing with the earthy tones of mushrooms, promising a nod to classic comforts with an elevated twist.

As the narrative of your dining odyssey unfolds, a cleverly conceived zero-alcohol 'gin' fizz arrives to cleanse the palate, a refreshing interlude before the crescendo of the main course. Here, you're invited to choose your protagonist: the sumptuously prepared corn-fed chicken, the impeccably cooked tiger grouper, or the Wagyu steak, each an epitome of culinary excellence.

The denouement of this gustatory tale lies in the dessert course - a choice between the decadently smooth chocolate crémeux and the zestfully sweet fruit tart. For those who wish to enhance this already remarkable experience, there is the option of a meticulously curated five-wine selection available for RM228, providing the perfect accompaniment to each chapter of this gastronomic journey.

Sabayon's Le Dégustation menu is not merely a meal; it's an odyssey of flavours, textures, and aromas, inviting the adventurous and refined palate on a voyage to remember.

Begin your palate expedition with our amuse-bouche trio: a spring seafood tart adorned with vibrant edible flowers, indulgent potato pavé crowned with ikura, and a spiced cauliflower delight paired with tangy yogurt and crisp bread.

Dive into the layers of flavour with our salmon rillettes, a harmonious blend of freshly cured salmon, smoky Norwegian salmon, and tangy pickled cucumber.

A duet of decadence: pan-fried goose liver meets the creamy embrace of avocado, artfully nestled atop a boutique salad.

Elevate your pasta expectations with our macaroni, swathed in a rich black truffle jus, lavished with 32-month-aged Parmesan and crowned with shaved truffle.

Discover the ocean's finesse in steamed tiger grouper, elegantly presented with pearl onions and a melange of vegetables, accentuated by a fresh bouquet salad.

Savour the esteemed Wagyu MB8 steak (120g), a showstopper infused with luxurious truffle potato purée, vegetable medley, and a garnish of bouquet salad.

A refreshing interlude awaits with our non-alcoholic Botanica Ginzero fizz, an imaginative twist on the classic for the spirited soul.

Conclude your culinary odyssey on a sweet note with our fruit tart: a corn tart base lavished with mulberry and a refreshingly exotic mango carrot sorbet.

Luxurious Add-Ons: Oysters and Caviar  

At Sabayon, the menu's crowning jewels are the Gallagher oysters and an exquisite selection of caviar, each poised to elevate dining to an art form. For RM98, one can relish in the sheer delight of three crisp, ocean-fresh Gallagher oysters, offering a gustatory glimpse into the ocean's depths, while RM188 unveils a half dozen, each bite whispering tales of the sea.

Venture further into opulence with Sabayon's meticulously curated caviars: the Caspian Iranian beluga, a sumptuous invitation at RM880 for 25g, beckoning with its creamy, unrivalled richness; the Bearii caviar at RM580 for 25g, a testament to sustainable luxury with its burst of nuanced flavours; and the Oscietra, priced at RM480 for 30g, each grain a melody of nutty and smooth notes that linger long after the moment has passed.

Petit Du Jour: A 4-Course Fusion of East and West  

Take on a gastronomic journey with Sabayon's Petit Du Jour menu, which offers a sublime blend of Malaysian artisanal produce and international delights. Priced at RM488, this four-course experience begins with a glass of Bottega Gold prosecco, setting the stage for a truly memorable dining experience.

Start with a choice between comforting macaroni with mushrooms and black truffle jus, or pan-fried goose liver with avocado, each offering a harmonious blend of flavours and textures. For the main course, indulge in one of three perfectly prepared proteins: corn-fed chicken, tiger grouper, or the indulgent Wagyu steak. Each dish showcases the team's dedication to blending Malaysian and international tastes.

Finish the meal with a choice of the rich chocolate crémeux or a refreshing fruit tart. For an additional RM208, you can elevate your meal with a curated selection of four wines, carefully chosen to complement each course.

Greener Pastures: Vegetarian Delights  

For those seeking a meat-free option, Sabayon's "Greener Pastures" menu offers a five-course vegetarian experience, priced at RM468. The menu highlights Chef de Cuisine Steve Ariffin's skill in creating plant-based dishes that are both visually stunning and flavourful.

The meal begins with a poached kodawari egg alongside creamy avocado, followed by burrata cheese with vibrant Camerons' tomatoes. A velvety parsnip velouté serves as the third course. For the main dish, enjoy macaroni with mushrooms and truffles, a decadent combination of earthy mushrooms and fragrant black truffles.

Dessert options include the chocolate crémeux or fruit tart, and for an additional RM208, a sommelier-selected wine pairing can complete the experience. Add a three-cheese selection for RM68, served with wild kelulut honey and mulberry compote.
