Special thanks to Iconic Hotel for extending this food review invitation.
Mezza9 is the flagship restaurant of Iconic Hotel. The dining hall presents a warm ambience with lovely chandeliers at regular intervals. Meanwhile, floor-to-ceiling windows allow sunlight to illuminate the restaurant.
Mezza9 offers Lunch Munch from 12:00pm to 2:30pm every day. Customers can choose one of four main dishes; the choices are revised on a monthly basis. Optionally, customers may have soup or salad for only RM3.00+ more.
One of the four choices is Japanese Seaweed Garlic Fried Rice (RM12.90+). Cooked white rice is stir-fried with eggs, mixed vegetables and fishcakes, and then topped with tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette), tempura prawns, edamame and seaweed strips.
Meanwhile, Korean Spicy Fried Pasta (RM18.90+) is a fusion of Korean kimchi (fermented cabbage) with Italian spaghetti. Presented in a Korean-style stone pot, the dish also contains a poached egg, chicken, shimeji mushrooms, onions and seaweed strips.
Each order of Lunch Munch comes with a drink of customer’s choice: coffee, tea or ice lemon tea. It is great to see Iconic Hotel using paper straws to minimize plastic waste.
Lunch Munch is tailored for people who seek a quick bite for lunch. Mezza9 also offers more dishes from the à la carte menu. Meanwhile, the twice-weekly Fisherman’s Hook Seafood Buffet is meant for seafood lovers to indulge in marine delicacies.
