LaVine Restaurant and Wine Bar

Went here with friends for weekend TGIS, good ambience and relaxing environment, suitable place for a date (all were couples when we dine in 😂)

1) Bone-in Pork Chop (RM30/100 gram)
- Certified organic pork served with mashed potato, Guiness Jus & sweet fig. The quality of the meat is great and the taste is interesting, surprised to find pork lard in the dish, my favorite 😍mashed potato is nice too.

2) Lamp Chops (RM52)
- Took my friend awhile to cut it as it has too many bone. Grass fed lamb, again, I think the meat is great, matched perfectly with mint sauce.

3) Scallop Pasta (RM49)
- Scallops are nice, but the sauce is too thick, with an extremely strong taste and smell of coconut cream, a big ❌❌❌ for me.

4) Garlic fries (RM19)
- Fries infused with garlic oil, 👍🏻

Overall, the price is on a high range and a 10% service charge applied.

📍 Lavine @lavine.sabah

Lavine offers a pretty classy and good ambience for your gastronomic experience. I like their interior design and lighting 🫰

Just to point out one thing about their staff- I think more training should be given as a few of them were unfamiliar with the menu offerings and had to go back and forth to check with the kitchen😅😅😅 (more a less compromised the overall dining experience)

🍴 Squid Ink Risotto with Halibut
💰 RM 44
- Texture: like uncooked rice. Taste: 😬😬🤢 My friends and I had one spoonful each only.
Will I order again? No.

🍴Mid-East West
💰 RM 33
- Meatballs were good! Loved it 😍
Personally not a fan of the sauce, too sweet for my liking.

🍴 Creamy Duck Noodle
💰 RM 34
- All good! Loved this 🫰🤤

🍴 Grilled Chicken Thigh
💰 RM 36
- Juicy, tender, and flavourful👏 done well

Aglio olio pasta 没有 aglio olio的味道，味道偏淡，虾不错很有香烤味也大只。
Salmon ，menu 是有写crispy salmon skin 本来很期待，但真实吃到的软软不脆。 Truffle mashed potato 不错吃。 摆设要加强😂
Mushroom soup look like sate sauce . 搞不懂我的mushroom soup 发生了什么事情，又粗又没有mushroom味道. 上面看似面包的，泡在汤里还是超级无敌非常硬，不知道到底是什么来的。。 非常不推荐喝这个汤 ！！
RM22 的Tiramisu 也非常不推！ 超级软绵感觉在吃一个吸满没有味道水的海绵。非常湿，也没有咖啡和cheese 的味道 。但是有颜值的。 但这价钱真的。。。
+1glass homey lemon
Total bill = rm158.4

#service 很好 ，有小鲜肉看呢 😏😏😏
