Black Market @ St.Mary Place | Kuala Lumpur
Black Market may gave you the idea of the underground market selling illegal goods, however if you did not happened to know it is a restaurant found in Kuala Lumpur which serves exquisite cuisine featuring the famous Spanish Ham- Jamón Ibérico.
Black Market has expanded three branches to date. The first also their headquarters is located right behind the corner of famous youngster 'yamcha' place-Caffeinees. The second branch is at St. Mary Place @Jalan Tengah, KL. The third branch can be found at Main Place @ Subang USJ.
So happened me and my friends were searching for a new place for lunch to celebrate Manda's birthday, hence we decided to head to Black Market @ St. Mary Place. I happened to arrive early as I made a reservation at 12pm, hence I quickly order the surprise birthday dessert before the birthday girl arrives. Waited for about half an hour-ish and the table started to fill up, so we proceeded with the order.
Their menu was spoilt with various choices and which include Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese & Malay cuisine.We decided to give their signature Jamón Ibérico a try as it was also a first time for me trying something this exquisite! So we ordered A PLATTER!

Apparently the meat was rather 'raw' for me, I have to add on lots of garlic and tomatoes as I was not really used to eat such raw meat. I would have puked, if I were to eat it just like that. However, the birthday girl enjoyed it very much.
For starters & appetizers, I wanted to try another Black Market's Signature- Garlic & Butter Scallop. They even have the same for Escargots so we ordered both! Greedy us but it was really yummy as I forgotten to mentioned how I love Garlic so much.

Truffle Potato Salad with Egg @RM 22 |

| Truffle Mushroom Soup @RM 16 |
We also ordered their signature Truffle Potato Salad with Egg and also Truffle Mushroom Soup as well. The salad was rather mouth watering after all the meaty dishes we had, however the soup was a bit flat, as it wasn't really creamy enough for my liking. Do you now happened to understand why it is called 'Black' market? Yes! It is because of the Truffles used in most of their dishes!
Next, we also tried out their Sausage Platter. It includes with the Bacon Wrap as well which they named it as 'Pigs in a blanket'! So cute!

We have also manage to try their pasta- The Real Paddington Linguine which tasted just like their own version of Carbonara, so instead of bacon they served it with Jamón.

My favourite was the Black Scallop Pasta made from Squid Ink spaghetti accommodate with Scallop and spicy balsamic sauce! The taste was just perfect! Such a perfect blend that suits my taste bud very well!

Chocolate Lava with Ice Cream @ RM 20 for the Birthday Girl!
Lastly, the dessert was the bomb! Truly indulge by the Lava oozing out from the Chocolate cake and even sinful when paired with the Vanilla Ice Cream! *Guilty Pleasure*

The Ladies
Overall I guess my experienced at the Black Market was average, out of 9 dishes mentioned here I only fancied 4 which are The Garlic Butter Scallop & Escargot, Truffle Potato Salad with Egg, Black Scallop Pasta and The Chocolate Lava dessert. However, Black Market is yet worth to try for raw pork meat/ ham/ Jamón eaters. I would highly recommend this place for those whom are looking for something exquisite to try!
