Calling all big fans of oyster! Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar is now opened in Sunway Putra Mall. Sunway Putra Mall is considered the new mall in town and we went for a walk since it is just a stone throw away from the place we stayed - Regalia Residence during our 3D2N KL Trip. So coincidentally we stumbled upon this restaurant.

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar is located at ground floor which is beside of Bread Story bakery. It is easy to find when you are taking the escalator down to ground floor as the shop is on the right side. Besides, they have a big bright sign board that would catch your attention. The friendly waiter like Yeasin greeted us with warm welcome to try out their oysters.

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - Kayes shucking the oyster
According to the waiters, Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar was having the opening promotion, so we were lucky to try out for free. He told us that not many people know about their shop yet, so I supposed that I should write a short blog post in return as a favor for the great hospitality.

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - Tragheanna Bay Oyster (RM26 3pcs/RM80 Dozen)
For starter, we were given the most affordable one (RM26 for 3pcs or RM80 per dozen) in the menu, Tragheanna Bay Oyster from Ireland. To be honest, both of us are not keen to eat oyster, especially given that it was just 11am in the morning. But the firm and plump-looking oysters are just way too tempting!

With a little squeeze of lemon and a drop of Tobasco sauce, we slurped it in, give a gentle bite and down it slides into our throat. We don't really know how to tell if is good (I supposed it depends on personal preference), but Tragheanna Bay Oyster is good enough for us as it is sweet, not too briny (salty), and plump enough for us to taste the texture.

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - Irish Premium (RM35 3pcs/RM110 Dozen)
The next one was Irish Premium, literally judging by the price. Did I forget to mention that all these oysters are alive until they are shucked? Well, again to be frank, if you put both Irish Premium and the normal one, I really could not tell the difference! Perhaps need to start learning to eat then!

What I do know is that these oysters have wondrous texture, so smooth that it slurps into your mouth together with the liquor (oyster juice) and slides into your stomach in no time! I supposed one could finished a dozen in a flash. But all in all, that's the satisfaction you will get!

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - France Style Australian Mussel (RM45 3pcs/RM70 Dozen)
Chef Nishat also served us with Australian Mussels in France style with cream, garlic and herb. I find that the cream sauce was delightful and makes the mussels more appetizing. We were given a seafood fork to pry the tender flesh from the open shell. Be extra careful when you are holding the mussel as I was cut by the shell unknowingly!

Surprisingly, the mussel was quite odd-looking (if you know what I mean) since it is supposed to be the oyster that resemble the female genitalia. And I'm not sure if they are as aphrodesiac (arousing sexual desire) as oyster does. Nevertheless, the mussels are tasty, a bit chewy and very tender to eat! So at the end of the meal, I supposed one would be like this... 


Go try now!

Epicuro Uptown @ Damansara Uptown, Kuala Lumpur

Henry Tan | 10:56 PM | | Be the first to comment!
If you are looking for a relaxing place for a decent meal around Damansara Uptown, look no further as Epicuro Uptown could be your best bet! If you follow #iblogmyway closely (if you haven't, click here!), you would know that we have been to KL for a 3D2N trip. Thanks to Tessa, she brought us to this nice cafe in this cafe-mushrooming town.  

Epicuro Uptown - Linguine with Pesto (RM22.90)
Tessa ordered Linguine with Pesto which filled with lots of diced tomatoes, bacon bits as well as their homemade basil walnut pesto. Surprisingly, the linguine wasn't green enough like the usual pesto would be and personally, I would prefer the strong taste of basil. Well definitely Epicuro Uptown's linguine is suitable for those who doesn't fancy the aromatic of basil

Epicuro Uptown - Spaghetti Carbonara (RM22.90)

Mine was Spaghetti Carbonara in a smooth cream sauce with bacon bits and topped with slow poached egg. It was really appealing especially with the slow poached egg that was cooked perfectly as you can see in the photo. I certainly enjoyed creamy spaghetti as it makes me slurped up the whole plate easily! The aroma and the saltiness of bacon bits make it a lot more appetizing!  

Epicuro Uptown - Conchiglie with Spinach Cream (RM22.90)
Baby Gwen ordered this green-looking shell shaped pasta in a spinach cream sauce with bacon bits and toasted sunflower seeds. Okay wait, I don't think I noticed any sunflower seed! Well, I got their menu description from their website here, so probably Epicuro Uptown have updated a new menu in the physical shop which without the sunflower seeds. Anyway, I think it was pretty okay although I was hoping that I could taste some spinach flavor. Should I?

Now only I have realized that all the pasta we ordered are filled with bacon bits, how convenient is that huh! We were complimenting their speed in serving the food as our pasta came like within 5 minutes. I don't think you can find that quick serving in a busy cafe in Penang! So, choose here if you are in a rush or when you are super duper hungry! Anyhow, Epicuro Uptown is quite dark to take photo as you can see my photos are all edited with brighten times 999999! Well, that's all, go and have a try and let me know how you think about it too! 

Bon Appétit!
