If you’re in a hurry on your lunch break, Graze is offering a guaranteed 45-minute, three-course lunch (RM95) inclusive of a soft drink. There are six set menus to choose from, as well as an a la carte selection for those who have more time to enjoy the view of the Perdana Botanical Gardens (Lake Gardens). Additionally, guests receive two hours of free parking, further adding value to the experience.

Setting

I quite enjoy the juxtaposition of the busy highway racing below surrounded by the lush green jungle of the gardens. The dining room has huge glass windows steaming full of natural light. It’s comforting, and you may not necessarily want to go back to the office in a hurry. If you do, the friendly hospitality team at Graze are there to expedite your return.

We have “menu 3”, composed of soup, sandwich and dessert. To begin, gazpacho is prettily adorned with pulled flower crab, avocado mousse, cucumber and tomato. This traditional Spanish cold soup is deconstructed and beautifully plated with fresh ingredients. It’s a little light in flavour on its own, so be sure to mix all the components before enjoying.

You’ll need a knife for our recommended main course; the Graze steak sandwich. Served with caramelised red onions, tomato relish and rocket salad, and wrapped in freshly baked ciabatta, it is an excellent choice. The thick sandwich comes with generously sliced beef and steak fries, so you better be hungry.

Make sure you save room for dessert as chef Brett Muller sure knows how to satisfy your sweet tooth. The wild berries tart comes with mascarpone Chantilly. I’m a sucker for mascarpone so I’d be happy to have it on every dessert!

A La Carte

If the 45-minute time restraint isn’t an issue and you feel like grazing a while longer, the ala carte menu has a decent selection of appetisers, mains, sandwiches, pasta, sides and desserts. They also cater to vegetarians and suggest you may highlight any food allergies or intolerances you might have, and they will adapt accordingly.

The Scandinavian classic appetiser, salmon gravlax with garden salad, dill crème Fraiche and vollkorn bread (RM45) has a delicate taste and fine texture. The vollkorn is full of grains and texturally pleasing. As is often the case in Malaysia, the dressing is a generous serve. I recommend asking for it on the side if you prefer a lighter salad.

From the mains, we were treated to confit duck leg, with baby roasted potatoes and orange jus. Who doesn’t love duck cooked in its own fat?! Ask for a spoon in advance to gather up all the delicious citrus sauce.

Dessert

Knowing that the chef’s speciality in pastry, we couldn’t resist trying two more desserts – the old-fashioned tiramisu, and the vanilla cheesecake with forest berries. Tiramisu followed the classic recipe without the alcohol, and the cheesecake could have been a meal in itself. Creamy and delicious, it reminded me of a traditional New York-style cheesecake that I had growing up as a kid.

Wine

If your boss won’t mind smelling wine on your breath when you return to the office, Graze has an impressive selection of 12 wines by the glass. We enjoyed the easy to drink Provence Rosé from Maison de Grand Esprit. The drinks menu also offers an impressive range of Spanish sherry by the glass, which would pair lovely with many of the appetisers on offer. If you didn’t know already, the infamous Jungle Bird cocktail was created at the Aviary Bar also at the Hilton. Graze proudly offers five different versions of the recipe. See our write up about the Aviary Bar Jungle Bird here.
