Recent Culinary Adventure : Prego @ KL Westin


the older wines were allowed to 'breath' in these
fancy-looking decanters with long necks



Prego is the Italian Restaurant at the Westin KL in Bukit Bintang. Martin Chan, an RSGC golfer who went with pakdokter to Japan last month is a wine connoussier - he regularly attends 'Wine Dinner' at various places in the city. He invited pakdokter to join him and his friends to a special seesion of a 6-course Italian Dinner paired with a series of 10 Italian wines of different vintages. The wines came from Castello Banfi - and the Brunello Montalcino wines ranged from 1997 to 2009 vintages.As we tried out the different vintages paired to the different dishes - we were also given an introduction to the Brunellos by the sommelier. Chef Huza from Westin did a splendid job creating the six dishes for the night.
