It was my second event with StarHero! So nice of them to invite me again and luckily I didn't pass up this chance to know of Across The Road because their food is ridiculously delicious! The place is relatively new too I think because it was just opened 6 or 7 months ago. It's been awhile since I tasted western food that is this good.
The owner of Across The Road, Christian. I find him affable and pleasant. He's very informative too. He explained every dish that was served and he even did the serving of the food himself. We were so honored.
Caramelized onion and Goat Cheese tartlets, RM14
This was our first entree and I'm already impressed. Never knew the combination of these would make such a great snack. Very appetizing and taste so so so goooood
Mushroom Bruschetta, RM15
Recommended!
Bread was toast to perfection and to top it with the mushroom and gravy, oh my. It's like serving my favorite mushroom soup (except it's not in liquid form) on a bread. I love this!
Salmon Broth with Prawn dumpling, chives and caviar*
Aside from the beautifully served dumpling, the soup has an ambrosial scent and is sweet tasting. It actually reminds me of Chinese Dim Sum and it even taste like it.
Beef Roll Salad with balsamic, RM27
I didn't really like this as it just taste like capsicum and that's it. I find it weird because it's quite cold but since it's a salad it shouldn't be hot either right? Cold fried breadcrumbs don't taste that good.
Homemade Ravioli, RM29
Recommended!
Fresh homemade pasta stuffed with chicken and mushroom filling. The sauce was amazing and it complements the ravioli so well.
Vegetable Lasagne, RM25
Basically it has grilled market mixed vegetables layered on homemade pasta in tomato gravy. Very soft and taste good as well.
Beef Burger, RM26
Recommended!
Homemade beef burger with melted cheddar cheese served with chunky chips and coleslaw. The size of the burger was very big and it was oozing with such deliciousness. I have to warn you that it is best to eat the beef together with the bread as it can get quite salty if it's just own it's own. One of the best burger I've ever eaten in my life.
Stuffed Chicken with Prawn mousse, RM29
Served with some veggies, a Yorkshire pudding and wild mushroom + mixed herbs + shallot sauce. The portion of the chicken was quite big too and it's was really well-cooked, not too dry and tough but just nice and soft.
Sea Bass roll with young Asparagus*
Served with cheese risotto and spicy seafood broth. The fish was perfectly cooked too! As for the cheese risotto, I am not fond of it but the others said it was nice as well. So I guess it's just a preference.
Tiramisu, RM17
Recommended!
Although it's a bit pricey for the quantity, the tiramisu is definitely top class. It's a little sweet and bitter which I think is
Cheesecake with Blueberry*
Nothing much to say about this and it was just okay.
Mocktail*
Mixed by Christian himself. At first he made me a mix of Strawberry+lemon+mint+cranberry juice mocktail, although it was really sweet, I am completely swoon by it. The second one however, I didn't ask what it contains but it's more of a lemony and sourish kind of drink (the picture above).
Food marked with a * sign means that it's not on the menu/online menu/ or it's on the special daily menu that you will find in the shop. They will try to change things around so if it's good it goes on the blackboard menu, if it's not then it's taken down.
Overall I think Across The Road deserves a
5/5
Will definitely come here again with friends and family! Even though it's quite far from my place, I think it's worth the trip. Don't miss dining there or you'll regret never trying it!
