One thing i like about this place is the ambience and the feel it gives to me. Situated in a radius of 5km from the main busy streets of Bukit Bintang, it feels as if i finally learnt how peace sounded like and i was like transferred to the middle of some jungle judging from the dark foliage i could see outside the windows..That is of course, once your eye level reaches beyond the fence, the city life hits you like a base ball bat..
Back to our objective of testing some of the dishes and seeing if my colleagues had the same taste buds as me, we asked the captain to recommend a few dishes for us to savour..and she responded in glee and explained every single dish for us..sounded good was all i could reply..but was it good??
The scenario i was talking about..
The Sotong Chilli Gajus (RM22) ..Mild in terms of chili but the taste was spot on..very flavourful with the curry leaves..i spotted a few pieces before proceeding to ask for rice..turned around and it was gone!..damnit..
The Pucuk Paku with Santan and prawns (RM15)..this was overly sweet for me, the coconut sort of overpowered the pucuk paku..a vegetable that is rare to find..but i found out its only RM1 a bunch in Kuching!..
The Rusuk Panggang (RM55) beef ribs marinated with a damn good sauce...this was my favourite and i can imagine me holding the bone with the plate infront of me like i was in TGIF or Chillis..Being fine dining, i had to believe myself..damnit again!.. This is a highly recommended dish..must try..
The Dory Fish Percik (RM36) i thought this was on the overpriced side, sincerely..or maybe its because i am scared of dory fish and i heard the captain say butterfish.. my memories rewinded back to Banquet..haha the fish was flavourful and the marination was good..but with dory fish, theres a chance that it could be over marinated as in too flavourful till the verge of salty or you might have missed the spot..i thought it missed the spot..but the sauce that came on the side..the creamy percik sauce saved the day.. now if only they could use butter fish instead..*hint* *hint*..White rice washed down with plain water completed the meal and we were disappointed with one thing..a very big disappointment..more disappointed by the coincidence that one of my colleagues actually didnt feel so well from the meal.. They told me there was no CHOCOLATE DURIAN OR DURIAN CHEESECAKE!!!!!
I have their word that those slices are meant to be complimentary when we hold our dinner that night next month.. I just cant wait any longer..maybe i might pop by soon..soon..

Hmm, I'm with Kok. Pucuk paku with belacan sounds more my taste... but santan is worth a try, always food to shake things up a bit. :)
We always get the feeling that those Muslim big shots seem to be out of place in such fine dining places , except those non-Muslims like yrself and co !
This place looks quite Westernised right ? ( but minus some kind of 'beverages' LOL )
