The anniversary also marks the first major update to Sigi's lunch and dinner ala carte menus with 19 new dishes to choose from, be it an appetiser, main course or dessert.

The new additions which are highly recommended by Executive Sous Chef John Brock include Beef Cheek and Shallot Pie, Sigi's Paella for two, Lobster Pizza, Pumpkin and Spinach Rotolo, Lobster Linguine and Salmon and Avocado Terrine.

We are honoured to be invited to sample the old time favourites and new highlights from Sigi's 1st anniversary set and new menu.

Wild Mushroom (Mushroom Soup, Truffle Cream)

Cioppino (An Italian favourite, spiced fish stew)

This fish stew and thick fresh tomatoes puree combination is a welcomed change in the soup department.

Grilled Jumbo Prawn (saute of courgette, toasted almond and salad)

Mocktail

Pan Fried Salmon (Potato gallete, green peas, salsa verde and gribiche)

Slow Roasted Lamb Rack with broccoli, goat curd tart, Romesco sauce

The flavourful rack of lamb was definitely hubs' top pick of the night with its' tender meat and crispy skin. It is served with a special Romesco sauce made of almonds, hazelnuts and chili, amongst other ingredients. I absolutely loved the light and smooth goat curd tart.

I personally feel that the limited time set menu with the Buy One Free One offer is really value for money and is a great excuse to sample what Sigi's new menu has to offer.

Rotolo Pasta with pumpkin, spinach and ricotta and burnt sage butter

The Rotolo Pasta is a rather interesting dish and highly recommended by Chef John too. It is made of pasta sheet rolled with a filling of spinach, pumpkin and ricotta cheese in abundance.

Sigi's Paella for 2 (Traditionally cooked saffron rice, chorizo, chicken, prawns, calamari, mussels and capsicum)

Tagliatelle with Prawns, Chili, Tomato and Capsicum

Bread and Butter Pudding with vanilla anglaise

Sticky Date Pudding with calvados caramel and cream

Chilled Rice Pudding with Strawberry Soup and White Chocolate

Barbecue Bounty at Sigi's Bar and Grill on the Beach

Sigi's Bar and Grill on the Beach has recently unveiled its' latest pride and joy, an outdoor barbecue pit on its' beach front. Measuring 5.2 metres in diameter and seating up to 12 guests, the one-of-its-kind circular pit is probably the biggest on the Batu Feringgi beach. We were recently invited with a few guests to sample barbecue delights prepared by Executive Sous Chef John Brock.

Be it a personal get-together or a company function, the outdoor barbecue pit is an ideal venue to let the hair down and enjoy the sunset or sea breeze, complete with your own personal chef and service staff for the evening. Impress your guests with the chefs in action, demonstrating their culinary and grilling skills.

Choose from two set menus priced at RM90++ and RM120++ per pax with a minimum of six pax. Both menus provide a variety of seafood, red and white meats with an extensive selection of starters and appetizers which include Caesar Salad, Pasta Salad, Coleslaw, Potato Salad, breads and desserts, and free flow of beer, house wine, virgin mojitos and soft drinks. Starters not to be missed are the Fresh Oysters with Chef's selection of dipping sauce and my personal favourite Gourmet Flat Bread.

The barbecue spread includes highlights like Grilled Moroccan Prawns, Grilled Snapper in Banana Leaves, Slippery Lobster, Chermoula Lamb, Minute Sirlion Steak, Tom Yum Spiced Chicken Wings, Chicken and Beef Satay and BBQ Chicken Sausages.

Gourmet Flat Bread and Garlic Bread

The Gourmet Flat Bread really needs a special mention. The flat bread is crispy with an abundance of sunflower seeds, olives, sun dried tomato and feta cheese. I ate at least three slices so trust me, they are really very good! :)
