Ferria KL | Hidden Luxe Rainforest RestoGrill in the Heart of KL

When it comes to the end of the week, i decided to catch up with my bestie Miriam to this luxe rainforest restogrill. I heard that their chefs specialise in charcoal grilling and modern methods that would you leave with an impression of casual but luxe dining. Ferria at Jalan Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur (Opposite Pavilion) aims to offer fellow KL-ites the greatest grill bar that they have to offer. So today, let me take you on a virtual food review on my thoughts of what we had while we were at Ferria - Kuala Lumpur's brand-new grill and bar restaurant, that has just opened its doors in the centre of the city.

The restaurant's opulent jungle theme improves the gastronomic and sensory experience. In addition to enjoying premium cocktails at the outdoor bar, you can also choose to dine in and explore their extensive menu to indulge into. If you're not in the mood to drink alcohol, don’t worry as they also have interesting mocktail options as well. I had the Copenhagen Sparkling Tea which was an interesting blend of Jasmin, White Tea and Darjeeling while my date had their in-house champagne.

Now, let’s get into the mains that you'll have to try when you visit. Just a little reminder for those planning to visit, Ferria offers KL-ites with the best grill bar, Ferria chefs specialise in charcoal grilling and use cutting-edge methods. With that being said, it's definitely a must to explore their gastronomic menu to get a taste of the real Ferria dining experience. While I was there, we had a decent spread of appetizers, mains and some to-share bites. 

Starting off with the appetizers, we had the Watermelon Poppers and the Lambazon Skewers which was one of the best combination to tease our taste buds. I started off with the Watermelon Poppers and my comments on it was that it was really refreshing. With citrus tinge and herbs, it’s definitely a great conversation starter if you’re on a date. The Lamazon Skewer actually looks like satay, but what surprised me was that it was really tender. The lamb literally just melts in your mouth and the spices that it’s marinated in gave just the right kick to enjoy it’s savoury flavour. 

As our mains for the day, I had the XL Freshwater Prawn roll which came with a big freshwater prawn, crispy French beans, and a soft homemade milk brioche, was a delectable main dish. Not going to lie, what I enjoyed the most about this dish was that it had flavours of fresh prawn! It's like you can still taste the flavour of the sea, combined with its homemade milk brioche, for the crispy French beans it was ultimate perfection of flavours in your mouth when paired with Wasabi Mayo.

My date on the other hand had the Tarzan Arrabiata just to explore the flavours of the wild side (pun intended). This dish would be enjoyed by those who adore spices! The dish is served with tiger prawns, soft shell crab and chilean mussels which tasted really fresh. I’m very particular on seafood, so when I say its fresh, it is served out from the freshest that they have to offer. If you enjoy your seafood to be accompanied by pasta, this dish is definitely worth ordering.

And going into some to-share dishes, we had the Tripple Cooked Hand Cut Fries which was a nice touch in sea salt flavours. At first I found it slightly salty, but after all, its sea salt. It’s a great to share that you and your company can savour on over conversations. The fries had a unique twist in each bite especially when paired with their wasabi mayo that came with it. Overall, I would say it was flavourful and fries were really different than your regular fast-food joint. 

All in all, I would say that it’s a great location to dine & chill while catching up with friends over a nice cup of cocktails and mocktails in an amazon ambiance that lets you sit back and relax in the heart of the city. I honestly can’t wait to catch up with friends and come back to try out other dishes that they have on the menu. If you asked for a verdict, I would say that it’s a great location to de-stress in a jungle themed environment to let yourself loose from any tension from a hard day of work. Will I be going back again? It's definitely a yes. Can’t wait for my next visit! I hope you found this post informative and feel free to ask me any questions in the comment box below.
