Greek outpost at Aegean Blue

We walked into Aegean Blue to be greeted by a laser light image of sun god Apollo on the floor, and there’s a larger than life size statue at the end of the resto. Yup, plus the Grecian columns and other decor, there was no mistaking that this was a Greek resto. 

The ammos mousaka, with cheese, eggplant, potato and bechamel sauce layered over minced beef, was the show stealer of the day. Familiar, comforting flavours, not unlike lasagna, easily made this a popular choice from the a la carte menu.

Currently, the set lunch offers pan-fried sea bass fillet with orzo (almost rice-like pasta) in a creamy sauce with dill. Fresh and fairly generous portion, this was a good bet. The other option was roasted chicken leg which was ordinary but lifted with a lovely honey BBQ sauce.

Set lunch comes with option of soup or salad and a drink at RM55+, a reasonable lunch, considering the largish portions and food quality.

For sides, we also had smoked salmon salad, a prettily plated dish, pumpkin soup and salad with chicken fillet pieces. Apart from moussaka and souvlaki, I haven’t really tried Greek food before so I’m probably not well-versed. Food at Aegean Blue was not bad at all, but didn’t strike me as particularly different from Western cuisine in general. Heard they have other nice things like the lamb and duck confit. Worth checking out further.

Aegean offers a pleasant enough ambience and good food, and was a nice first foray into Ocean Fine Foods for me.
