Bunker Bistro

2009-04-25T15:34:00.006+08:00

First things first, the Bunker Bistro at The Empire Country Club is now open for public. Previously it was only open for members and hotel guest. This is such good news as I think personally it has one of the best view of the putting greens and the South China Sea. I'm also liking the classic and nostalgic feel of golf which surrounds the room from the staff’s uniform to the centerpiece figurines on each table. Ok enough words, you can read more here, I'm just gonna go with the photos.

maple syrup and topped with a whisk of whipped cream.

On Vacation

There's nothing like enjoying a hot mocca latte with some fresh croissant and raisins for breakfast and the Arc de Triomphe in backgroud. Yes, breakfast at the McCafe at McDonalds is a must, especially the one at Champs-Élysées.

Lunch @ Shikai

Balinese Cuisine

2008-12-07T18:54:00.012+08:00

Last night, I had the chance to go to Empire's Essence of Balinese promotion. The dinner buffet was prepared by three talented culinary team from Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa Bali. I was very happy to know that it is being held at the Pantai Restaurant too, which is one of my favorite dining place in town.

The moment you approach the location, you can already feel a different kind of ambiance. Balinese music in the background blending with the cool breeze from the ocean, the serving staff all dressed according to the theme and big Balinese umbrellas perched nicely on the walls, which is unique to Bali. Just look at the pics below, aren't they lovely? I totally felt like I was like in Bali!

The spread were varieties of Balinese traditional dishes from starters, main courses and desserts such as festival rice, their famous roasted chicken and fish, Oseng Oseng labu siam, bebek betutu (signature dishes), Opor ayam, bubur sum sum, dadar gulung, nangka pudding and many more. All prepared by Executive Sous Chef Alif Subawa. Ok enough talk, lets look at the food.

The Festival Rice

Fresh veggies, noodles, chicken, squid, meat, prawns and many more. Pick yours and the lady below will cook'em tampanyaki style for you.

One of the Chef's signature dish

The Chef with another of his signature dish, Bebek Betutu.

It was my first time having such cuisine and I must say it was totally worth it. My advice is to starve yourself a bit during the day time hehe... More pics can be found here. The promotion runs from 5th to the 14th of December. Price is $45 +10% service charge per head.

Seafood Galore

This was from a recent trip to Kota Kinabalu. A trip to KK is not complete if you don't go for the cheap seafood. This is at Salut, about the 20 mins from town. My tip is always to avoid those in town, you're most likely to pay double the price!

errrmm...... sorry?

2008-11-25T00:55:00.005+08:00

I know i've been neglecting this blog. I'm not gonna come up with any excuses. I'll just say, I'm gonna really really try to get the ball rolling again.

Grilled Lamb Chops at Fratini's in Bandar. This was magnificent!

Yummy!

Sungkai at The Atrium Cafe

2008-09-11T09:31:00.004+08:00

The Atrium is probably the most relaxing place to enjoy your Sungkai. It's spacious and the vibe is all good, especially when you're in good company of good friends. There is a lot of varieties to choose from, but like anakbrunei said, "there was no need to try everything".

The photos doesn't do justice to the many delicious dishes on offer, so best to jump to anakbrunei's post for a much detailed info on what you can expect when you Sungkai at The Atrium cafe.

Takara Sungkai Buffet

2008-09-09T09:23:00.001+08:00

It's a steal! You won't believe how cheap it is! Hurry though, offer is only until the 15th of Sept.

Appetizer - Salmon Sashimi (and they're not stingy on the slices too!)

Villa Mauri review..

2008-08-28T01:05:00.002+08:00

No doubt currently the hottest Italian Restaurant in town and judging by the endless crowds visiting the place, I think it would be right to say, they must be doing some good things at that cosy lil' bungalow.

One of their many mouth-watering dishes, this lamb shank rocks! They only serve a limited amount daily, so good luck if you're craving for some.

It's here again!
