A Bubbly Lobster-licious Affair at Cristallo di Luna

fell in love with Bollinger champagne

Champagne and Lobster, my two favourite things. What could be more luxurious than sipping Champagne and having a yummy lobster meal at a fine looking restaurant with a magnificent view of KL? Mei Yee from IamAWitch.Com, thank you for inviting me to be your honored guest and also for the photos! Also thanks to the people that made this happened - Sunrise Wine Sdn Bhd & Cristallo di Luna, it was a meal that I will definitely come back again for!

The theme of the night? James Bond! oh how creative they are in making the entire evening so blockbuster-ish. The menu has dishes named after James Bond movie titles, e.g "Tomorrow Never Dies" salad. The lobsters for the night were served in two styles - lobster thermidor and the other stir fried with thai basil. They were delicious! I loved the later one which is creamy and juicy.

Those are not the only styles for the lobster,  there's a total of 6 styles for you to choose from- grilled, baked, steamed and lobster bisque. The best sellers are Lobster Thermidor - sauteed lobster, gratinated with cheese and bechamel with a side of garden vegetables and potatoes.

Of course let's talk about the star of the night - Bollinger Special Cuvee NV, a special multi vintage blends of Grands and Premier Crus grapes which has a unique combination of power and finesse, establishing the difference and shows its commitment to quality. Bollinger is also famed for being the signature Champagne under the label of James Bond 007 (hence the theme of the night). I love the bubbly champagne, it was not overpowering or bitter. I wanted more and more of it after my first sip! I am not normally the wine type of girl, but I learn that good champagne will make anyone fall in love with wine. The fine bubbles and golden hue played with my feelings while the aromas of pear, brioche and spices left me satisfied after my Lobster meal. It was a good pairing and I loved every bit of it.

A very nice place to enjoy Champagne and Lobster, Cristallo is a non-smoking area. My bf will definitely like this place. I am so bringing him here to enjoy this meal again under the stars. The KL view brings a sense of romance too. Thankfully this Lobster-licious event is not over and done with because it's a running promotion from now until end of June, 2011 (hooraaah!!!).
