It was babe's birthday and I had decided to try this restaurant out as a lot of friends had recommended it to me. They had told me that the place has this great ambiance and it's perfect for couples to dine. So called up for reservation 5 days earlier as they mentioned to do so. It's a long path down the main restaurant with a lot of Indo-China decorations.
At the end of the pathway, we are greeted by this main restaurant which this serene ambiance. Water fountain and great decoration of the place transformed us into another world. Sorry but no more pictures are allowed after this point. Not sure why but maybe they don't want anyone to copy their trade secret? So don't expect a lot of pictures on the food for this post.
Mentioned to them that it's for my babe's birthday and they offered a good seats of the restaurant facing the pool side. Nice arrangement by them. As you can see, the above picture shows the poolside before night fall and the one below was after. This is another part of their restaurant called Il-Tempio which served Italian Fine Cuisine.
Once seated the waiter advice us that they are doing this Ramadhan Buffet which only held once a year. So we checked out the menu and it was good. They combined both the restaurant's menu into the whole buffet package. Yup, there is another restaurant called Il-Tempio which served Italian Fine Cuisine down the pool side. So this is the appetizer which I took. They had a lot of choices for their appetizers. I particularly like their Seafood Fried Tafu.
This is one of their soup which is the Seafood Tom Yam. It was really delicious as it was really spicy and sour like what we had in Bangkok. Plenty of freshly slice of fishes in the pot. The soup was slightly cold, other than that, everything was alright. I had another bowl of their Tomato Soup which was really thick and nice too. That was hot.
This is some of the main dishes which they had to offered that night. I had their pineapple fried rice to go with the rest of the dishes. The meat selection ranges from beef, chicken, mutton, fish to squids. So there is a lot of variety to choose from. I particularly like their Beef in Sawi which the beef was so soft and tender. Their Vietnamese Style Mutton Rendang worth mentioning too. There are some other gravy type soup and also vegetables to choose from the main table. Sorry again no pictures was taken as they do not allowed us to take any pictures of the place.
So why did I took the buffet rather than Ala-Carte. Well for those who been here before told me that their ambiance was great but their food wasn't something to shout about. The price we're paying for a decent dinner would cost around the same as the buffet. Well it's not all about the money but why do we pay extra for something same when I can have unlimited food and wide range of selection (from both the restaurant's menu) from their buffet. As a matter of fact, my choice was right and we had a lot of good food and some great desserts too like their famous Sweet Mango with Sticky Rice.
The whole dinner was superb with great ambiance and good food. But best of all, it was with my love one. The buffet cost
RM85 nett. So it's not that expensive for a very full and wide choice of variety dinner. I was actually full before tasting all of their food on the main table. The walk back up after dark was really romantic as we can see the candle lights on the side of the walk way but babe was a bit creeped out of the whole place by now.
