It would have been such a tease to hear so much about Kobe Beef and not get to taste any at all. Given how Maria’s SteakCafe had already received the certification from the Kobe Beef distribution council and acknowledged as having the hallmark of authenticity, a four-course menu was drawn up for media members to have a taste of the real deal at its signature restaurant in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur.
We were eased into dinner with a starter Maguro (tuna) –seared and came with wakame (seaweed), tropical mango sauce, citrus and grapes. This was paired with Paso del sol Chardonnay, a refreshing white wine boasting tropical fruits and citrusy notes. Simple but tasty, with a touch of sweet thanks to the fruity sauces, the neutral flesh of the fish tasted almost sweet when accompanied by a sip of wine.
