Gesuto@TTDI

Located cheek to cheek with Bref by DC, Gesuto serves contemporary robatayaki, a type of Japanese barbecue carried out over a wide pit. Lunchtime fare ranges from one-bowl meals to bento boxes with the customary miso soup, steamed rice, side salad and fruit. Dinner, on the other hand, sees some 24 à la carte specialities including truffle pappardelle topped with Japanese egg yolk, octopus with ponzu lime butter, and sous-vide duck breast with star anise. Indecisive eaters should settle for the reasonably priced Robata Tasting Menu (RM148+) to sample the best that Gesuto has to offer.

Truffle Pappardelle-RM35

Larger plates include the irresistible fresh-cut pappardelle, al dente and robust with seaweed, truffle paste and Parmigiano-Reggiano - the bonus is the bright-hued, brilliantly creamy yolk at the plate's centre; according to the restaurant's friendly crew, the eggs are farmed in Malaysia according to Japanese techniques, so the menu lists them as "Japanese egg yolks" (RM45).
