Ultimate Bowl (Limited)(RM 168)
For beef lovers, go for their Ultimate Bowl. The Ultimate Bowl completes with the uni, full-blood wagyu, together with the French Foie Gras, Ikura, Mixed Mushroom, and the 63 degrees egg. The bowl of goodness is indeed so delicious and every mouthful is so nice and fragrant. The wagyu is so juicy and it is something not to be missed in Calia!
Wagyu Inaniwa Udon (RM 48)
Their udon is superb. It does not even turns soggy even we took quite a while to enjoy them due to photography. The sous vide wagyu is served together with the springy bouncy udon noodles in an umami soy broth, grilled mushroom and coriander. They are perfectly done.
Matcha Lava Lava (RM 33)
The desserts in Calia are something not to be missed. Being famed for its desserts, the Matcha Lava Lava is perfect for Matcha Lover. One can enjoy the rich enticing chocolate lava cake with the oozing warm matcha ganache here. The thick creamy matcha ganache comes superbly delicious and it has a fragrant matcha taste in it. Do allow 25 minutes for the chef to prepare and it is worth waiting for it.
Miso Crumble Cheesecake
I love this so much! You can enjoy the creamy vanilla cheesecake with the miso crumble and summer berries with it. Perfectly done and the sweetness is not too overpowering.
Overall, Calia is indeed a nice place to visit. The food here is superbly delicious and we definitely come back for more!
