We had a fantastic meal tonight for my mom's birthday! We arrived in KL today from Singapore, and had made reservations at Flock via OpenTable in advance. I searched fine dining in KL on TripAdvisor and sent my mom a list, and she selected Flock. It is billed as Modern Australian cuisine. None of us have been to Australia, though Eric R. has been close-ish in NZ. The menu had a lot of options, with a big section on the left as appetizers and share-ables, plus some salads, vegetarian dishes, seafood, meats, sides, and desserts. We were fortunate to have Hanif as our server. He was very patient, kind, and informative. I initially ordered the sparkling brut rose but the hotel apparently had sold out - um, oops tomorrow is New Year's Eve so I hope a shipment is coming! I opted for Asahi instead. Eric R. had an Australian beer and my mom had a glass of pinot noir. We decided to try a bunch of different dishes. We started with the new style scallop sashimi which had yuzu pearls and grated daikon, the wagyu beef hot rock, and the heirloom tomato salad. The chevre came from a locally source cheesemaker called Milky Whey - how clever! There is a farm that the restaurant has north of KL that grows a lot of its herbs and vegetables! The salad had pesto and olive "licorice" but it tasted like dehydrated olives. The wagyu was spectacular. The fat made the beef so flavorful that it needed no seasoning or sauce. Next came the wild mushroom pau, which were steamed buns that were designed to look at like mushroom caps (which is amazing in itself), stuffed with mushrooms. They were very delicious and filling, though listed as an item for "pecking." I also ordered the duck foie gras with soft polenta, fig jam, and beet coral. This was also very tasty and savory. My mom ordered the crispy skin trout for her entree with a side salad instead of the accompanying mussels. Initially it came out rare inside so she sent it back and it came out sizzling hot and cooked through. I tasted it and it was great. We also split the vegetable biryani, which was spiced perfectly and very good. We were so full when this came out! It was served with sambar, daal, and raita. To end the meal, the staff brought out cake pops and a sparkler to celebrate my mom's birthday. We all sang together and finished the meal with cake pops and hot green tea. I did not know until we were in the elevator that I would get a discount on the meal for being a Marriott Bonvoy member and also earn points for the meal. Overall, it was a fun dining experience, a trendy atmosphere, and we had great service too!
