Frangi
For the first time ever stepped into Frangipani, Changkat Bukit Bintang to celebrate the ulangtahun of one of the directors of the Jaylex Foundation, JL. Didn't go upstairs to the bar (missed out on the alternative atmosphere), just the restaurant. Helluva posh place. Walls of perforated steel with flower motifs and a pool of water smack dab in the middle of it. Tastefully surrounded by pillars around the water's edge. The ambience is good, and I can imagine a very romantic dinner with KH, dining right by the pool. Looks expensive and IS expensive. The cheapest main course is MYR52++ (Wagyu beef-- the beef melts in your mouth and has a wonderful aroma) and the most expensive Angus beef is priced at MYR98++. o.O. I had the Roughy fillet that came with a side of iceberg lettuce that has probably been blanched for half a day to make sure that every shred of vitamins had been leeched out.
Anyway, along with the price, one can expect snooty service and even snootier patrons. They were VERY concerned by the fact that we had underutilized a large table (which is a flaw on our part I must say), but not like people were lining up to get in anyway. And when we started taking photos, an "acutely photo-sensitive" caucasian woman got up to complain in a most berating voice that we should cease and desist. I sincerely hope we didn't cause her any long term trauma. The waiters kept on enquiring about the number of patrons and kept on pushing us to go upstairs when it was obvious that some were still eating. And seeing that some of us didn't order any main course (I guess wine and dessert doesn't constitute as "paying customers"), they quickly scrimped on the bread. Cheapo.
In a nutshell, I wouldn't go there again.

Unless someone treats. Or for the wagyu beef... :P
