Food at The Traders

During my recent trip to The Traders I sampled just about everything they had to offer except in-room dining.

The grill and steak house was offering specials relating to mushrooms: specifically wild ones.

Coming to dvd mushrooms gone wild... unrated!

The land menu meaning anything on land... well almost anything

A lovely olive roll

French onion soup.  The soup was very tasty but the cheese was a bit mild and tasteless. The portion size was huge and I felt full and a bit bored by the time I reached the bottom.

Cream of mushroom soup.  The mushroom soup was a very normal puree mushroom soup. It was not bad just nothing special - a very fresh soup.

Steak and mushrooms.  A sirloin steak with sauted wild mushrooms and spinach. The side was potatoes au gratin (scalloped or cheese potatoes for those not initiated). The steak went very well with the mushrooms and was cooked to a perfect medium.

Ribeye steak.  By far the star of the evening, a grilled ribeye cooked medium well. It had not sides (those are below) and literally melted in the mouth.

Asparagus in cream sauce.  This is off the menu and was quite spectacular. The asparagus was crunchy and fresh and well complimented by the cream sauce.

Mashed potatoes with truffle oil. Really the only let down of the night.  The potatoes were pureed until they had a baby food consistency... not very flavourful either.

Overall I highly recommend the traders gobo steakhouse. It is quite pricey but would be an excellent choice for an engagement dinner, anniversary or birthday dinner. 

Sky bar.  You haven't visited KL without going to Skybar! Truly one of the most over rated places on Earth. The service was very meh. Took a long time to get my martini and it was only so so.

The place looks huge in pictures but its actually tiny. Looks very nice though.

GOBO coffee house - breakfast.

A selection of Indian food. Butter chicken, curry veg, curry chicken, and a local favourite beef rendang.

Sausages, cheese, rolls, dhal and roti teluer.

The food was excellent and was well worth the money. Everything I tried was good here.

In the end I can easily recommend any of the food at the Traders if you are willing to pay the price. Skybar is worth checking out but don't kill yourself if you miss it.
