Gesuto @ TTDI

by - Sunday, July 05, 2020

Gesuto means "guest" in Japanese, is a French-Japanese fine dining restaurant with selection of fine wines located in TTDI, right beside Bref by Darren Chin. Food innovations are based of Adaptive Cuisine method, a cuisine that takes inspiration from all around the world to elevate every dish made to a whole new level.
Modern environment like the typical french setup, comfortable dim light and it has wide space for intimate dining. The only thing that I dislike was the music - loud, almost impossible to hear what your partner trying to convey. 

After settle down at the assigned table, don't startle if you can't see the A la carte menu. The restaurant's priority is to push the sales of Degustation Menu but you can also request for a la carte menu if needed.

Something to begin with is the complimentary by the house - Edamame coated with black truffle seasoning. Hump those edamame in your mouth as long as you want so that the black truffle won't go to waste!

Kick-off dinner starts with Ceviche (RM 26.00), comes with slices of fresh salmon, orange emulsion, lime, leche de tigre, nori tempura, pickled shallot and house smoked ikura. For this, I personally think that the placement of the food plating is crucial. The condiment were buried deep down, hence, you will have to manually dip the salmon to the condiment to enjoy the flavor combination.

If you are looking for light & refreshing pasta as your appetizer, then you should try this Kombu Capellini (RM 55.00). A plate of capellini, kombu, prawn, truffle oil, caviar and aioli. Thin, light and refreshing from the aioli, what more when there's kombu, truffle oil, prawn and caviar that gives you a taste of luxury. 

Gesuto's best selling pasta dish is the Truffle Pappardelle (RM 45.00). Pappardelle generously mixed with truffle paste and topped with Japanese egg yolk, Parmigiano-Reggiano and nori. It taste brilliantly, creamy, earthy from the truffle paste but most importantly, very delicious. 

However, the Prawn Spagettini (RM 58.00) was down and out for me. A plate of spagettini with grilled prawn, bisque 2-ways, prawn oil, caviar, lemon oil and chives. The aroma of the bisque was inviting but the taste was otherwise bland, little to none seasoning. Hopefully the chef can improvise the dish.

Down to dessert, one of the smoothest Molten Chocolate (RM 15.00) I ever had. The molten chocolate lava baked perfectly that it is still runny in the middle served with butter crunch soil topped with french vanilla bean ice cream. Reasonable price too!


My personal summary: Good environment to dine-in, servers are friendly and attentive. Personal favorite and recommendations will be the Kombu Capellini and Truffle Papperdelle, but avoid Prawn Spagettini if possible. The music genre doesn't match well with the dining environment and it was loud. Price was decent at this range, but subjective to individual's price sensitivity.
