Sabayon EQ Dégustation Menu
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.
