Wagyu Burger Promotion & Mother’s Day Dining

For the month of May, Signature by the Hill has two promotions going on at The Roof at First Avenue. After a lovely brunch there during the weekend, it was a nice change to dine during dinner at Signature one evening to check out the amazing city night view together with its dinner menu.

As the sun set, the night’s sky turns dark and the city lights up vibrantly all over. As soon as I entered Signature, I was transported into a world of elegance and romance. The ambience of restaurant was gorgeous with low dim lights, soft music and beautiful people all dressed up to the nines. We were seated near the window and couldn’t help but to feel excited at the view of the city skyline. If you are all out to impress someone, Signature by the Hill is the place to do so.

Before heading into the restaurant, make sure to grab a cocktail or two at Signature’s bar just like us to unwind for the evening. Alternatively, you can also order the luscious and creative giggle juices when dining in the restaurant. We settled for Margarita and Watermelon with Lychee Mojito. One classically citrusy with tequila while the other sweet and fruity with rum. Both cocktails are utterly good for the soul and perfect for relaxation before the meal.

For the adventurous, do check out their other creative giggle juices such as The Pink Elephant, Milo Ais, Hawaii 5-0, The Fish Bowl and more.

The evening meal started with Soup of the Day, a luscious Pumpkin Soup served with dinner roll. The soup was thick, creamy and earthy. Pumpkin was the star and it was beautifully balance with savory and sweet notes. Each spoonful was a soothing tummy warmer for the rest of the meal to come.

For mains, we had the house red wine of Altos Del Plata Malbec from Argentina. The Malbec was fairly intense with rich currants line with spicy notes. It’s a good choice for meaty dishes.

At Signature, even burgers get glam up! Signature Wagyu Burger is a decadent pile up of thick succulent wagyu beef patty topped cheddar cheese and jazzed up with truffle oil. The wagyu patty sat on a bed of crisp mixed greens with fresh cuts of juicy tomatoes, raw onion rings and crowned with the highly prized pan seared foie gras. All the burger ingredients are sandwiched with black charcoal bun and served with golden onion rings and corn on the cob.

The burger was delicious! The patty is really moist and has rich meaty flavours. I like how the patty was cooked till medium pinkness and had juices oozing out as I bite into the burger.

That decadent foie gras was really the icing on the cake or rather burger, lending its sinful richness to the burger. The onion rings were really a nice change from the usual fries while the corn added freshness to the burger.

Another house signature dish on the menu is the Giant Meatball ‘Bomb’ Linguine. An enormous meatball is the crowning glory on linguine coated with a rustic roma tomato sauce and finished with shaved parmesan. The meatball bomb has seasoned ground Australian rib eye encasing a whole egg.

It was nicely moist and cooked well and would really have been the ‘bomb’ if the egg had molten center. I really enjoy the pasta a lot as it had robust spicy flavours in the tomato sauce.

The third main course we had was Pollo Pesto, featuring grilled chicken sautéed in basil pesto sauce pasta. Topped with sundried tomatoes and shaved parmesan, this pasta is a plate of bold flavours. I can really taste the wonderful nutty aroma and flavour of the herbs, cheese and nut in the pesto sauce. I also like that there was plenty of sauce in the pasta as I love lots of sauce in mine.

As mentioned earlier, there are two promotions at Signature for the month of May. For the whole month of May, burger fans would love the Signature Wagyu Burger promotion where the grand and decadent burger is available at RM80.

For Mother’s Day, there are two menus to pamper your Mom! Celebrate the special day with her for a lovely bright brunch or take her out for an evening dinner with a majestic city view. Mothers eat for free on this special day with both menus. T&C applies.

 What is even a better treat for Mother’s Day is every mum stand a chance to win a pair of tickets to Koh Samui with Firefly! This would be the best treat to give to your mum for a relax vacation with white sandy beaches.

Signature By The Hill @ The Roof

Chilled Out and Indulge in Weekend Brunch with a View!

Brunch is simply a portmanteau of breakfast and lunch according to Wikipedia. Whenever brunch comes to mind, it usually means I have time to lay back, sleep in a bit and indulge on something nicer than my normal breakfast routine. Brunches are now popular, especially the weekends. There are many places now offering a smorgasbord of brunch menus nowadays and here’s one more to add to your list if you are seeking out for a brunch pampering session.

Signature by The Hill, located at The Roof, is no stranger to our dining scene in Petaling Jaya. Opened back in late 2013, the gastro-lounge and contemporary restaurant has been serving up a plethora of Asian and international fusion cuisine to many gourmands with a gorgeous city view. Signature offers a creative wanderlust menu of international and local favorites injected with premium ingredients and creative nuances. This round, Signature is pleased to add on a Weekend Brunch menu to their current list where foodies can indulge in a weekend brunch with a view during Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm.

My family and I visited Signature one fine Sunday around noon for some pampering and indeed it was such a treat to enjoy our brunch with a skyline of the city’s view during the bright sunny day. The lounge was quiet and we walked passed into the bright restaurant to be seated right by the circular glass wall to enjoy the glorious view.

The restaurant is spacious and designed with contemporary flair from its creative impressionist garden of trees placed all over the restaurant. While the walls and flooring are shades of grey, the furniture is a mix of wood and natural materials and steel. Bright red napkins spruce up the ambience for touches of colors. In the evening, the whole restaurant takes on a different ambience and is very romantic and elegant, perfect for a tête-à-tête with your loved one!

A quick look at the menu and I was really pleased with their choice of offerings of luscious brunch favorites and also some main courses from their regular menu. Drinks are decent with lots of juices, coffee and tea, and yes, champagne and wine if you wish to go all the way for major pampering. With our Apple Juice, Lifejuice Sun Kissed (RM15) and Lifejuice Eau de Vie (RM15), we happily juiced up while waiting for our meals to arrive. Lifejuice are cold-pressed organic juices and offers a good range of delicious and nutritious healthy juices perfect for some healthy boost of the day.

My Sun Kissed was a tangy note from apple, pineapple, orange, grapefruit, carrot and ginger. I like the subtle ginger note as it is present but not overly powering. My other half Eau de Vie was coconut water, cucumber, aloe vera and agave nectar. It was very refreshing and soothing too.

We were given this delicious Pumpkin Soup on the house. For brunch, every diner gets a complimentary bowl of soup of the day. I do have to say that we all really enjoyed the soup. It was a creamy bisque that wasn’t overly sweet. What a lovely surprise and treat for the brunch…

One of the best perk at Signature is that kids below 6 years old get to eat for Free! So it’s perfect if you have a little one to join you for a delicious weekend brunch where everyone gets to spend some quality time together with extra perks like this. My 5 year old opted for Big Breakfast Jr. out of the three choices available for the free kids’ meal of Big Breakfast Jr., Fish and Chips or Spaghetti Bolognese.

When it arrived, I wasn’t expecting such a generous portion of the Big Breakfast Jr.

 

Breakfast sausage, turkey ham, beef bacon, hash browns, baked beans, grilled tomato, bun and eggs of your choice were practically covering up the whole plate. For a moment, I was thinking that this portion alone is already big and it’s only a junior portion. It is really hearty. There’s nothing more satisfying than a full head-on English breakfast fry-up for a treat. The scrambled egg was well seasoned and cooked till just set with a creamy and fluffy texture. My little one could only finished half and so the other half went to us. I was particularly fond of the hash browns of cubed potatoes sautéed with some cooked meat and spices. This platter is pure comfort food!

My other half had Eggs Benedict (RM18) featuring poached eggs on brioche bun toasted and draped with thick cuts of smoked salmon finished with luscious hollandaise sauce. Tell me that the dish didn’t look so inviting. It maybe a little messy with the sauce but I love the overall colors of the dish.

The poached eggs can make or break the dish. Ours were cooked to near perfection with the molten egg yolk center. A gentle cut and it was pure food porn as we watched the egg yolk flow out. Every ingredient worked so well. Toasty buns gave contrast to the soft eggs while the moist and salty smoked salmon boosted more flavours. The buttery hollandaise was silky smooth and was the bond that married all the rest together.

I was craving for seafood so I had the Grilled Salmon (RM48) from their lunch main menu. The dish is gorgeous at sight and again a very generous portion. I can see that the salmon is coated in a special batter and baked. It sat on a bed of pumpkin mashed and asparagus with a Romesco sauce and completed with some alfalfa sprouts and ebiko.

My salmon was cooked to perfection, just the way I like it. It’s just undercooked in the middle that gave the salmon a luscious tenderness which I enjoy thoroughly. I have this irk if ever a salmon is fully cooked through as I think it really doesn’t do justice to the fish texture. This is a personal preference and I had also requested for the salmon to be cooked this way too. I can’t quite make out the special batter on the salmon but I enjoyed it. There is a sense of lusciousness to the salmon together with the rest of the ingredients. The ebiko and Romesco sauce really perked up the salmon beautifully.

We finished off with Latte and Cappuccino.

It was indeed a lovely brunch with a gorgeous view! I was impressed with the food as well as portions are generous for the price tag. With all the additional perks of kids below six eat for free and complimentary soup, I think it’s a great place to enjoy a leisure brunch with family or friends. Of course if you are in the mood for some love, then visit Signature during the evening for some romance with your loved ones…
