Events

Avanti at Sunway Lagoon is participating in the annual Gourmania held from the 1st to 30th November. Start your meal with the crispy soft shell crab with pear endive. It's done fried like tempura with the salad that tastes a little like Waldorf. Magtagliati pasta, are thick ribbons slightly cooked with braised venison. Before the main meal, cleanse your palates with an espresso sorbet and coconut candy.

Our pick for the mains is the pan-fried veal served like a Swiss roll hugging cream cheese with sundried tomatoes. This is tender and rich. For dessert, there is bitter-sweet chocolate mousse cake and praline ice cream. The Gourmania menu is priced at RM88++ without wine and RM138++ with wine. There's also a second menu for about RM108++ without wine and RM188++ with wine. This menu boasts scallops or baby lobster starters and a tenderloin or dover sole main.  Continue reading »
