Argentine Gastronomic Week by Chef Patron Diego Jacquet @ The Library, Ritz Carlton KL
Of wine and beef, Argentinians know them well. Argentine cuisine is often described as a blending of cultures, with the bit of Mediterranean influences, and some bits from Italy and Spain.

Amuse Bouche to start
Appetiser
Cangrejo Y Humita Nortena
Crab on Toast, Humita, Pickled Radishes, Coriander
Paired with Argentine White Wine (Chakana Torrontes 2015)
Mmmm, good stuff! The shredded crabs with crunchy toast and paired so well with the white wine.
Main Course
Ojo de Bife
Grilled Argentine Rib Eye, Chips provenzal, Chimichurri
Paired with Argentine Red Wine (Luigi Bosca Malbec 2015)
Huge chunk of beauty came all the way from Argentina, grilled to perfection with the fats melted and proportionated well with the lean part. Succulent and tender. Touched up with the Chimichurri sauce that is made of finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, oregano and many more. Pretty exotic! Love the chips too that was tossed with aromatic herbs! Portion was really huge though.
Dessert
Torta de 3 Leches
Milk Cake, Coffee, Citrus Crumble, Passion Fruit
Spongy airy milk cake, tangy passion fruit sorbet, and buttery crumble. All 3 types of different texture, blended well in one plate.
