Marini on 57 Kuala Lumpur


It was my fiancee's birthday and i decided to take her to this wonderful place after she took me a grandeous restaurant for my birthday. 

Marini's on 57 lies on the 57th floor of the tower 3 of the Suria KLCC. Yes it is not situated on either of the KLCC twin tower but rather the tower 3 which is accessible from the Suria KLCC shopping centre. The easiest way to get there is by parking your car at KLCC then go the information centre asking for direction. 

If i remembered correctly, you have to get to the 2nd floor by escalator and head to your left and go till the end. You will see a sign somewhat decorated with curtain. There will be some staff of Marini's guarding the entrance and asked whether you have a reservation or not. Luckily, i made a reservation couple days back asking for a window seat for two. She said i would need to spend at least RM 300 to be sitting there. I said yeah it is cool since I know the food is really expensive overthere. 

So we led to the lift which took us straight to level 57. 

The waiters and waitress were super attentive and kind to us. We were seated next to the window as requested. Looking at the menu yes the food were super expensive but the view is just spectacular. 
 

The juices are RM28 each and the water if you requested will be from a mineral bottle which cost you RM28 as well. Then they will give you bunch of bread for free. We ordered a mushroom soup for entree/appetizer which cost RM98. It is really a small portion for that big bucks. 

I got myself full by eating all the breads dip into the mushroom soup or what they called Catagne. Yup it is Italian, since this is indeed an Italian restaurant. Then came the main dish which we decided to share costing us RM188 for a piece of Gobi fish. 
 Yes it does look small and I felt like the masterchef judges eating this delicate piece of meal. 
Once we were done with the meal we were given two other complimentary items i.e. Few chocolate blocks and couple Crossaint to take home. 
 Can you see blocks of chocolate on top of the wooden piece? 

I did some improvement on the Crossaint by adding my own version of the omelette the next morning. 
 
All in all, it was a good experience and view was nice to see KL at the 57th floor.
