Passions Ball 2009 @ Palace of the Golden Horses, The Mines Resort City

Just recently, Passions Magazine organized an enchanted evening ball held in the Palace of the Golden Horses. It’s tagged as one of the Asia's Most Classical Hotel and a world-class award winning luxury hotel located within MINES Resort City and just 20 minutes away from the city centre and 35 minute drive from KLIA. The ball is held in this dedicated conference center, the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Conference Center. Located in its very own private wing, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, individual lighting control, video and teleconferencing facilities, including an theatrette and the Royal Ballroom.

No doubt that having the ball in this enchanting palatial hotel, they offer the best from their chef’s gastronomic array of cuisines from local fare to international delights that will surely satisfy patrons’ culinary cravings.

First, free flow of the finest champagne. Champagne is a sparkling wine produced by inducing the in-bottle secondary fermentation of the wine to effect carbonation. It is produced exclusively within the Champagne region of France, from which it takes its name.

Next, Prawns and Scallop, the chef used Cameli Bean, Rocket Lettuce & Black Olive Vinaigrette…also comes with an oven baked garlic bread. The dish is delicious, the prawns are fresh, and scallop is nicely done.

Then the Wild Mushroom Soup, with Bread and Butter. They use fresh mushroom to make this soup from step 1, making it so creamy and tangy.

Before proceeding to the main course, they served Lime Sherbet (refreshing and coolly), to clear the after taste from the mushroom soup. Sherbet is a traditional cold drink prepared with rose hips, cornelian cherries, rose or licorice and a variety of spices. Sherbet is a popular drink in the Middle East and Indian subcontinent.

To the main course, the Salmon & Chicken Combo, using a combination of oven baked salmon fillet and medallion of chicken with fennel stew. It tasted very good and texture is satisfactorily. The dish is also served with roasted baby potatoes, wild mushroom ragout, fresh field greens and garnished with tomato-aged balsamic sauce. Overall, the main course is very flavorful and tangy. Marvelous!
