These are pictures from Sage @ Gardens Residences, taken (& eaten) sometime back. Mention Sage and the instant reaction is that it is synonymous to the fine dining scene, but of course there are many fine dines out there but Sage is just about as good as it gets (or at least towards the 'once in a blue moon' affordability, price-wise).
Due to the complicated foreign language names of the dishes, I shall localize them so that laymen like you and me can understand.
Appetizers
Complimentary- Fried Sushi Ball
Foie Gras with Vege Tempura
Duck Confit with capers, olives and rocket salad
Assorted Mushrooms
****
Main Course
Foie Gras and Angel Hair Pasta
Risotto with Scallops and Prawn

****
Desserts
Strawberries with Vanilla Ice Cream
Almond Blancmanger
Ice Cream Blackberries and Pastry
Almond Cream with Apples and Vanilla Ice Cream
The dinner set menu was at RM140++ per pax, with a choice of an appetizer, mains and dessert each. While it's definitely not an everyday dinner affair, the food, ambience and setting does the pricetag justice. This is the place one must go if looking for a fine dine (wine not included) without burning a big hole in the pocket.
Set Lunch goes for RM100++, while Chef's Menu at RM160++.
