To celebrate chocolate, Malaysia’s Unilever who is behind the Magnum brand wanted to make a difference in
consuming Belgian chocolate. Chocolate has not only been infused into desserts. The concept is now confirmed by the
makers of Magnum ice cream who suggested ways to enjoy Belgian
chocolate in a four-course meal at the Magnum Kuala Lumper café in
Mid Valley, available at RM80 per person. The meal consists of the
spice butternut squash Velouté with bitter dark chocolate and cinna-
mon. Then the marinated capellini pasta with ulam-ulaman, crisp eel
beignet in salted chocolate emulsion soy reduction and crispy ginger
is served as an appetizer. The main course is pan seared butterfish
