Cubes Restaurant, Jaya One, PJ

Gosh, I've been trying to post this for 2 days and somehow, the pictures just wont load!
:-(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Dinner was at 8pm
We left KL at 7:30pm, very certain that we could reach Jaya One by 8pm.
Wrong, wrong, wrong... :-(

Dataran Merdeka was closed due to RPK's matter and we were stuck in KL jam for about 40 mins.

We finally reached Jaya One, walked around aimlessly until we finally found Cubes.

We apologised; Jun, Amy and Andrew were gracious with the fact that they had to wait till 9 pm for dinner. aiks!

Since it was rather late, we were the only customers and I felt rather stifled with all the attention from the waitresses and maitre d'.

Dinner was served almost immediately, as they had ordered before we arrive (lucky us!)....


We had watercress soup to warm our bellies first..
Quite light and not too salty..

We had half portion of Aromatic Duck..
This dish reminds me of Peking duck as it was served with pancake, sweet sauce, spring onions and cucumbers. However, the skin was not sliced, but the duck meat and skin was rigorously scrapped off from the bones (using fork and spoon) by the server..

We then roll it up with the other condiments...The duck was well marinated, I could taste the herbs infused in the meat. It's quite moist but the duck skin was rather wasted (i love eating duck skin) as it was shredded to a million tiny threads..(hehe, ok, was just exagarating). When I ate the duck meat on it's own, it's more on the sweet side though.

Aubergines cooked with spicy sambal..This was pretty good, especially if eaten with white rice. They find the sauce very spicy, so MC and I finished this dish.

Steamed rice dish which I dont know it's name..some parts of the rice was half cooked, hence it was hard. I didnt like this.

The homemade tofu..Looks pretty and tastes lovely. Tofu was deep fried till golden brown; silky smooth tofu against the crunchy exterior served with delicious scallop mushroom sauce. yummy.

Jun wanted the fried boneless ribs
This would be a good snack with beer as it's really crunchy, yet the meat was tender. A tad on the salty side, this goes well with rice.

We had seafood noodles..
The sauce was way too salty, hence we did not manage to finish this dish..

As Cubes is skewed towards chinese fine dining, the portions are smaller and the prices are heftier. If I didnt recalled wrongly, we paid about RM35 (or was it RM40) per person, exluding wine.

Cubes is located at 18-1, Block L1-1, Palm Square Jaya One, No 72A Jalan Universiti, PJ.
