I was really looking forward to last Saturday's dinner as Hubby said that he will bring me to Max! Kitchen for dinner. Our 1st visit to Max was absolutely a wonderful dining experience for us since that was the first time we tried wagyu beef cheek. Actually I already knew what I wanted to order and like I said earlier, I was really really looking forward to this dinner that I actually skipped lunch to make space!
For appetizer, we ordered the Scallops (RM35) which came with 4 gigantic-sized scallop which was pan-fried and drizzled with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and some sort of capsicum salsa. Very succulent indeed, I like it!!!!
A close-up of the scallops.....so yummy-looking isn't it?? Mmmm...still can taste it in my mouth now. 
The waiter recommended us to their just-arrived-on-the-same-day Canadian Fresh Oysters priced at only RM4 each. We ordered 4 pieces; two to be eaten raw and two to be cheese-baked. 
Best eaten raw with a dash of lemon juice, the oysters were really fresh, juicy and SWEET! Sigh..it reminds me the time when my brother-in-law bought 10 dozens of Tasmanian oysters when we were in Melbourne last December. 
The cheese-baked version was not too bad too! But Hubby said that it's such a waste to cook it this way since the sweetness of the oysters were covered by the cheese. Kinda agree with him. If he said it earlier, I would have volunteer to have his serving too. 
Hubby's dream to try the Wagyu Tenderloin, air-flown from Australia, finally realised. Priced at RM110, Hubby said this plate worth every cents paid. Served with a piece of goose liver, sauteed pea sprouts, polenta and mushroom gravy, every items were perfectly done!!! The beef was so tender and doesn't require much chewing. Almost like melting in my mouth! Ooohhh..sooooo heavenly good! Since it was so good...of course I would have to post more than 1 photo of this masterpiece.

Wagyu tenderloin cooked medium rare...ooo....beef juice drizzling out..
Lamb or duck? Lamb or duck? So difficult to make up my mind. I tried the lamb during last visit so I planned to have duck this time but somehow I still very tempted to have lamb again. In fact, I have not had any lamb for the past 6 years until I went to Max. Finally, Lamb won!! I had the Lamb Cutlets (RM50) which was served with a super yummy mint sauce. OOoo...it was sooo good. It was also served with pea sprouts and polenta and the mint sauce, just can't describe how good it was so I would recommend you to try it yourself. 
Done medium-well, once again, the lamb was juicy and tender. Hubby, stop eyeing my plate ok?
Now, how did my 2 lamb rib-bones landed in Hubby's plate??
I happened to come across a post by FriedChillies on Restaurant Muar at Tengkat Tong Shin and what interest me was the Iced Cendol. Just a few walks away from Max!, we headed to the restaurant for dessert. It was so crowded, so I guess food must be good here. Felt a bit embarassed to walk in just for 2 bowls of iced cendol but then hey, still a paying customer rite? So I braved myself to walk in and asked the lady boss if they could served us with only 2 bowls of cendol..hehehe...yeah, the lady boss was rather surprised and said "Of course, which table?" 
Served in a small plastic rice bowl, it was heavily laden with gula melaka and thick santan. VELI VELI SWEET!!!! Too sweet for my likings but the only thing I like about the cendol was the finely shaved ice. Hubby didn't like it cos too sweet so I volunteered myself, it's very bad to waste food you know!?!? Priced at RM1 per bowl, what more to ask for??? Will definately come back to try their dishes, well provided I can resist from walking into Max! Kitchen.
Very finely shaved ice with cendol and red beans
Ermm...Ahem...Hubby, are we gonna celebrate our 'First-Time-We-Met" anniversary next month?? Can do it at Max! Kitchen?

biby cletus: Am so flattered with your kind comments. Thanks for visiting my blog and hope you will continue to do so. Will hop over to yours in a minute.
lyrical lemongrass: Hehehe..bring Bald Eagle there for a romantic Sunday dinner. Am sure he will love the food there.
Jason: Next time you bring your dinner and eat in front of the pc while looking at yummy picture. See whether it works or not.
k.t.x: Oh yes..definately great quality...haha..it's a fine dining cuisine so don't expect big serving. But we were really full so our plan for Beef Noodle after Max was spoilt.
Wah, candlelight, oh, more like camera flashlight dinner!? Hee hee...so romantic. When are we are going ah? Boo, FBB, LLemongrass, count me in!
u shud not hv beef noodle after such nice cuisine!!!!! gosh!!!
damn jealous, damn jealous .. everytime you walk into Max ah, you get to eat all the best food and we mortals here, salivate until keyboard wet :-( very bad lah you hehehe

k.t.x: Haahaa...dat's what we did during our last visit to Max! Ate half way, went to Ngau Kee for beef noodle then walk back to Max for wine and dessert!
foodielianne: LOL!! Can't help myself..food so good. Our aim is to try every single item in the menu...and I think we are almost there. Only left a few fish dishes and the duck!
All time chendol craver here, somemore only RM1??? *Drool drool*
I tot u r recovering from the sek yuen feast...haha...now revisiting max again! Btw, did max gave u discounts since u two noe him rite?
I've learnt my lesson well:- Max not opened on Sundays.
Finally I went during our King's Coronation holiday. Max saw I was taking pix & came over to say 'hi!'. Told me that I must visit Precious Pea's blog!
Xiu Long Bao: That bowl very very small only...smaller than normal rice bowl. If you want to try, remember to ask for 'kurang manis'. As for Sek Yuen, I recovered the next day oledi. HAHAAHAHA!
Tummythoz: Oh yes, closed on Sundays. We went once on Sunday and ended up at El Cerdo to have a piggie feast. Hahaha..wow..am advertising for him and he is doing the same for me. Must thank him when i see him. LOL! Did you tell him you know me too?
Tummythoz: By the way, where is your review on Max? You have not been updating your blog leh.
sobzzz..... i still have no chance to visit this place! they should really open on sunday!!!!! :(
Grr...must save more $$$.
meiyen: He got 2 girls so i guess Sunday is family day for him.
tankiasu: Hehehe...you go buy a piggy bank, each day put in RM5...when have enuff money, go whack like mad.
Gosh Max's sounds great! Does he have a fixed menu or is it based on what he recommends?
Ya-lor. Weather really bad. PC also konked. =(
I was there before our Sandias meet, so I did mention that we'll be meeting soon. However come Fri, I totally forgot about it. Too nervous-qua.
Meiyen, I did convey the same sentiment to him ie. why not open on Sundays. He said no as it's his family day and also his outing day with his very own makan gang.
lamb!! wagyu!! aiyoyo..wan to go bak again..luved the scallops.but that time we had it with the shell..the oysters r reasonably priced..i also want to do review!
pink elle: Max's menu is only 1 page which includes everything from appetizers to mains to desserts. But i believes there are some which are not included, for example wagyu tenderloin, yabby and oyster are not in the menu but do ask cos i believes it's seasonal.
Tummythoz: Really hope to see your post soon on Max! Wanna see what goodies you had. Hehehe.
joe: I dunno whether it he got the oyster all the time cos the other nite, the waiter recommended cos it was really fresh.
Precious Pea: Ahh... I will lick the screen instead, I guess. Wuakakkaka...~~
Yum! I've eaten the tenderloin before but not the wagyu one which was so good. Oysters sound so good. Sorry Lemongrass - must go makan it soon but just have been so busy with other things. Will have to schedule soon and yup, Max does not open on Sunday.
For now I would go eat that RM1 chendol every single day to save enuf money for Max's!
Jason: Eewww....your monitor must be so slimy. Yuckss!!!! EEEEEyerrr!!!
boo: You should try the wagyu tenderloin and compare with the normal one. Aiyoo...wanna go back for the fish and the duck.
tankiasu: Aiyoo...no la no la. You save the RM1 and go into the piggy bank and you will end up in Max faster.
hi....girl_girl here... the lamb looks so good. i think i really have to give it a try when i go to kl.. :)
girl_girl: But remember Max closed on Sunday yah.

girl_girl: Hey, not too bad to start off with. Keep up the good work ok?
meltingwok: Hahaha...seems like many people are fans of cendol. I like it with pulut...super sedap!
Wahlau.. the food looks so good especially the scallop! I must start to save my money from today onwards and by the time after a month, i think i can go and SAPU their food!~
