Food: Celebrating Christmas with Humble Offerings from The Forum KL Seasonal Christmas Menu

The Forum KL is a chic and modern day restaurant which pioneers in South East Asian cuisine. This restaurant is situated at Desa Sri Hartamas and they are introducing a lovely Seasonal Christmas Menu this festive season. 

I particularly like the interior of this restaurant, perfect for dates or even family gatherings. It is brightly lit with an open concept, so you can take beautiful pictures here.

The Seasonal Christmas Menu comes in humble servings, instead of a buffet spread which is common during Christmas in most restaurants. I personally find that this is a better idea, as everyone will be seated during dinner, enjoying each other's company, rather than busying themselves with the buffet items. After all, Christmas is a time to celebrate with family and friends over food :)

The Forum KL’s Christmas Menu features a selection of appetizers, soups, mains and desserts. 

APPETIZERS

Christmas Mini Quiche

Christmas Mini Quiche proves hearty and delicious featuring a light crusty shell and a warm filling of cheese, egg, cherry tomato, sliced capsicums and Napolitana sauce, these bite-sized delights are especially perfect for sharing with children. 

Christmas Salad

I love this salad, very refreshing and filled with bits of orange, apple, pomegranate, radish, giving the salad a sweet twist. Interesting flavour and colour!

SOUPS

Beetroot Soup

Seafood Chowder

This creamy chowder filled with delectable bite-sized squid, scallops and prawns is my personal favourite. Portion wise, it was just nice and not too filling. 

Well, this briny chowder deserves a thumbs up from me!

MAINS

Roasted Turkey

This Christmas favourite is presented beautifully and it looks almost too good to be eaten. 

This elegantly portioned leg, lightly pink on the inside and a classic roasted brown on the outside. Paired with a quintessential cranberry honey glaze, broccoli purée and sautéed vegetables. 

Grazed Rack of Lamb

A perfect balance between meat and fat, this finely sauteed cut of one day marinated lamb is flavorful and absolutely juicy. 

The lamb is lightly seasoned, with a side of Bearnaise sauce, balsamic vinaigrette, white bean purée and sautéed vegetables. 

DESSERTS

The dessert platter will feature a trio of delights – a classic Tiramisu that promises not to go wrong, an subtle Indian spin on a classic French favourite – a Masala Crème Brulee, and a selection of decadent Chocolate Truffles.

I enjoy the Tiramisu best, it didn't have an overwhelming coffee flavour. In fact, it was light and perfect as an ending to a good meal.
