Flames @ Le Meridien

Flames is a casual, stylish steak restaurant that showcases the best quality, prime steaks. The restaurant is a transformation of the hotel lobby lounge’s upper-deck, a small and intimate former drinks-and-refreshments niche that has given way to just 24 seats for lovers of luscious, prime steaks and most things non-vegetarian. Open daily, Kota Kinabalu’s only international steak restaurant caters to lunch and dinner guests from 12pm – 2.30pm and 6.30pm – 10pm. The restaurant’s concept of casual, stylish dining in favour of great quality food, showcasing signature steaks, is a serious effort to truly please Kota Kinabalu city’s steak aficionados.

Freshly baked bread at Flames

Condiments for bread

Jasmine Tea Infused Duck Breast Confit Shaved Fennel, caramelized fruit, cress and peach dressing
Duck breast is rich in jasmine tea infused flavor and had a pleasingly soft texture. I think is a perfect creation, serving it with shaved fennel, caramelized fruit, cress and peach dressing.

 

Cappucino of Jerusalem Artichoke and Macadamia Nut Truffle Oil and Fresh Herbs
A creamy, full of aroma and flavorful soup that completely wake up you senses of taste.

 

Avocado tapenade, Japanese tofu, mandarin orange and miso dressing
I like the mashed buttery flavor flesh of avocado and each bite of the tofu offers its own pleasures in terms of texture.

 

Baked Fillet of Cod, Porcini mushroom, asparagus, strawberry and red wine reduction
A rich, buttery flavor and a firm, flaky texture make cod fillets one of my favorite dish of the night. Filled with a healthy high omega-3 oil content and perfect combination or pairing of porcini mushroom, asparagus, strawberry and red wine reduction sauce which give this fillet a delicious flavor.

 

 

Maltagliati Pasta (famous order) with chicken fillet, cherry tomato and basil pesto
Maltagliati pasta is rough trapezoid shape of pasta serve with tender chicken fillet, cherry tomato, rich and creamy basil flavor sauce

 

 

Passion Fruit Sorbet

A fall flavor with a wonderful body, refreshing, not overly sweet, creamy and silky texture that is simply delicious.

 

Slow Cooked Black Angus Beef Fillet with Braised red cabbage, baby vegetable and shallot reduction
It's a hearty and robust cut of meat seared to seal in the juiciness and a balance flavor. I like the texture and tenderness of the steak which was slow cooked 'til it is melt-in-your-mouth tender. It's a nice pairing with shallot reduction sauce, braised red cabbage and baby vegetable.

 

 

Swiss Milk Chocolate Mousse with Crispy Rice and Raspberry puree
An artistry presentation, taste and smell the aroma of passion for this dessert. You'll love the creamy texture of the chocolate mousse which will satisfies the most discriminating gourmet chocolate, don't miss out the crispy rice and raspberry puree....mmm

 

End your night with a perfect cup of premium coffee or tea
