Estate & Tate @ Intermark KL

I had an unexpected visit by a gf from Singapore. And it happened to be on 2nd of February which is on my 28th birthday. I thought I would be spending the night with my family but then we ended up celebrating my birthday at Estate.



She leaves the venue of the dinner for me to decide and since I have been wanting to try the food at Estate located at Intermark, this is a good opportunity. Estate is another restaurant under the BIG Group which has many successful ventures such as Ben's, Plan B and T Forty Two. This one happens to be their higher end restaurant.

The restaurant has a mix of British pop culture and rustic charm. Even the salt and pepper on the table are from Jamie Oliver's products such as the sea salt and the Tellicherry Black Pepper which is known to be creme de la creme of all peppercorns and most sought after originating from India. Ok, that's pretty impressive.

Crab Caesar Salad RM39.90

The Menu is pretty simple, just like the one you see at Plan B or Ben's. Prices range from RM19.90 to RM99.90 and the most expensive dish on the main dish menu is their Cote de Boeuf at RM159.90. The downside is there's only 2 types of red wine and 2 types of white. But I heard that they are opening a steakhouse next door and they would bring in more varieties for their wine list.

My gf ordered a Cottage pie (RM29.90) which has minced beef cooked in tomato sauce, topped with mashed potatoes and then baked in the oven. On the sides, they provide a generous serving of arugula salad topped with Parmesan. It's very nice as the minced beef is tender and juicy but it can be rather filling to eat all of it.

For mains, I had a Pan-Seared Seabass (RM59.90). The presentation itself is indeed very beautiful. You can see the wonderful golden brown crust that sits on top of a bed of cream and peas. The sauce has leeks and bits of bacon. The seabass was very good but I felt that the sauce was too creamy.

It's a pretty decent restaurant but it was rather quiet that day which was on a Thursday. I heard that they have a band playing on Friday so it might be a good place to have dinner and drinks on Friday. The corkage charge is at RM50.

After dinner, we hopped over to next door to have some drinks at Tate. My friend whom happened to work there has been asking me to drop by and finally months after months, I managed to do so.

Tate is a place full of privacy and intimacy. It's so well-hidden, you might not know how to find it. It's pretty simple. On the ground floor, just look out for the hat with a light. That is the entrance. I was surprised too. If not for the staff who showed us the way, I would be calling my friend in there for directions!



It's a place for pool, cigars and drinking. The place is cosy, with 2 or 3 cubicles with a pole which I thought is for pole-dancing but they say it's not. I'm still doubting that. Karl, my friend who works and also the mixologist there bought me a piece of cake for my birthday and it's my favourite Red Velvet. How sweet!

I didn't know what to drink and I just leave it to Karl. He managed to mix something special - Earl Grey Martini (RM40). It's an Earl Grey tea infused into the martini. I love that tangy and minty flavours in there as well. How nice!

After that, I went to El Cerdo to meet up with some friends and have some more wines. It's not the most happening night but at least I'm in good company.
