Kampung Gajah –> Kampung Daun Cultural Gallery Cafe & SPA –> Hot Spring –> Satay @ Bandung

22/02/2011 No Comments

After our quick dinner at Maha House as I mention we do have a few places to visit for the night, then next we head to Kampung Gajah, bandung to take a quick tour as this place already close for the day, as my friend recommend one of the places to visit during day time. Then I google up what this place have to offer as it is more like a friends and family gateway to enjoy their activities such as Flying Fox, Swing and Swing, and of course some restaurants. For more info can check out at their website : KampungGajah

Just spend a few minutes to take a quick snapshot then we heading to Kampung Daun which is Highly Recommended by me if you do visit Bandung. A place that filled with very classic traditional filled with their culture ambiance that located right in the middle of the forest that had transform to a perfect dining area.

a big New Year Eve party was organised here and heard my friend said that it was a blast.

All the dining area are build in their very own unique way and it is really a huge place to walk around. You would like to dine in a very homey ‘Kampung Style’ dining, then can go for this kind of ambiance, that seated with a table of 6 and if you have more pax they have bigger place.

As we walked further up at this chill and fresh environment with the sound of waterfall flowing, we feel so fresh and relax. . .

Another type of dining area which is more casual that be seated on a ‘rattan’ style with pillow to support. . .

With the natural water flowing from the top of the hill, they had make it as the heart of the restaurant as hut or dining area can hear the sound of it. . .

Then we choose a hut that filled with mat paved on the wooden flank, then just lye on the cushion enjoy chatting and the ambiance of it, with the group of new friends. . . .

Ginger Cinnamon Tea. . . .

Then discover the top of the place, is this huge area that can host private functions too. . .

We are looking forward to return to Kampung Daun to try out their Indonesian Cuisine, as my friend said its not bad. .

After spending 1 hour at this cozy place, its time for us to get even more relax as we were brought to this Hot Natural Hot Spring at 11pm at night and the weather around the area is around 21degree which is just perfect to dip in this warm pool.

There are 2 pool which is 1 about room temperature and the other pool which is warmer.

Do bear in mind that to come to this place, will need to bring your own clothing, trunks or swimwear, and of course towel, if not to purchase there, its extremely expensive.

Soaking ourselves for quite a while and on the way heading back, they introduce us a place which is nice for satay especially the meat is ‘Rabbit’

I have always miss the satay in Indonesia as their peanut sauce is a bit different that do add in some of sweet soy sauce and their own spicy sauce. So sad that they do not served Rabbit meat that day as it was their signature if not mistaken, then ordered mutton and beef. It was good too, as it was just bbq as it is.

Their ‘Jagung Bakar’ is always better then our local Malaysia version as they do season it a while in milk + their own sauce then spread with heavy butter and leave it a while there till the butter soak into the corn till its very aromatic .

It was quite a tiring journey as in a short span from 7.30pm – 1.30am we went to 4 places and the journey in between is not near. . .

Thai Thai @ Sunway Pyramid

29/03/2009 No Comments

It was Sunway after event at Convention Center. Craving for Thai food, and my friends suggested this place.

As my friend suggested the environment is quite good and the food is not bad.

The menu is simple and elegant.

There are sure 4 types of sitting style you can choose, the cushion area.

More dim and romantic area

If you do have more people to get together this would be an ideal place as we took up the whole area.

This area can be more on private functions. More elegant and classy round table area compare to the first 2 the pic I took on the outdoor area was damage and quite blurr, so did not manage to post it up. For smokers, there would be a good chill out area after dinner.

In Thai food which I must include in my meal is the ‘Tom Yam Chicken’ RM10. The colour was good when it got served, and the taste is just perfect which enough sour and just the right spicy level. There are quite alot of chicken cubes in.

My main course order was the ‘Green Curry Chicken’ RM16 which I was undecided. Love the pineapple rice, thai fried rice and just in the end chose that. The green curry was rather spicy compare to the rest that I had tried before, it feels like they hantam alot of cili padi in there, as I stir it up can just see the small chili here and there. I am not a real spicy eater but then need a full glass of cold water to accompany with it. If the spicy lvl is reduce by 30% I would rather say that it would be a perfect curry.

It would be a nice place to dine in but for the bill it came, I think it is abit pricy, as all the above did not include ‘Rice’ RM2. Overall still alright.

Pre Valentine Dinner @ Alexis Bistro & Wine Bar @ Jln Ampang

13/02/2009 No Comments

A dinner that I am looking forward for with my close friend of all. With the dinner arrangement that I have made, she thought of changing places and agreed with her. As the place I have not been before. We have the same taste and thoughts on things like food, fashion and others. That is why, this dinner is special. When I reached there, I thought that the restaurant was closed for private functions with huge black curtain covered up the whole entrance and have to try to peek in there is it available. Then just walk in and found our reservation and to my surprise, it was like a VIP seats to me. The first row in the middle directly in front of the band,stage area. I am just enjoying my moment there. As I read on the card on the table that tonight there will be a Jazz band playing in there by ‘Zailan Razak Project’. Not too fancy about jazz but definitely I go along with the flow like I am not a fan of Kenny G but a good sleeping doze.

With their nice dim lighting’s and a candle light on the table, makes it a very nice environment to celebrate a special occasion with some one special or close friend. With its nice and romantic environment, the area had change to a better lighting where after 10pm they have make the lights to the dimmest and make sure that the place you are seating is the candle light shining on the table.

This was the original booking area with the seats on the sofa, but I sure do not have complain on my current seating’s.

Here comes the food that we choose. Start of with this drink called ‘Baby Love’. A very nice drink I would recommend, with taste of oranges mix with some raspberry and it is priced at RM19

Start off with soup of the day was ‘Mushroom Soup’. A very very good mushroom soup. They blend the mushroom in there and cooked in it. The soup was not too thick or watery and was not too salty. Perfectly cook with strong taste of the mushroom. As it added some olive oil and need not add any more papper or black papper. Serve with a piece of Garlic Bread. The waiter was good in arranging it as I ordered one serving and he divided to 2 servings. The soup is price at only RM15

Started the main course with ‘Chic Escalope’. I was complaining when I saw the serving. ‘Ha…Just like dat ah’. Never mind. Try first. Please do not look down on it. The taste was absolutely good. Nice and deeply fried, and the crust of the chicken taste so nice as it is covered with garlic, herbs and you squeeze the lemon on it. Just perfectly go along with the added sour taste to bring up the flavour of the herbs and garlic. It was just perfectly cook with golden brown colour crust. Crispy on the side soft on the inside. Not bad for the pricing, RM 35

This is the second order. ‘Lamb Rack’. When it was served out, I told my friend, ‘Aiya, how to fit my stomach, so small only. Sei!!! in my thought’. With is high pricing, I believe it would have something special on it as I order it Medium Rare. Please let me tell you, when I was cutting it, I could feel the meet was juicy and soft and cut into small pieces and one for me and the other one for my friend to try also. She started first and she keep nodding her head. Means it is good. The meat is so soft and along with some of the lamb fats, it just melts with the gravy along with it. Not near to a steak but for lamb, it is just good. Served with Some pumpkins and garlic kangkung if not mistaken but I still think it is over priced. RM63

After main course, I must have desert. It is my culture. To close the meal of the day with satisfaction with the sweet,sour,salty and bitter. When to proceed to the ordering of the desert I was very disappointed as our favourite Tiramisu was sold out as it is their signature cake. Can said that one of the best I have tried so far. So ended up ordering another alternative which was choose by my friend. It is ‘Zucotto Dome’. A great cake. With the walnut flakes and pieces with its soft sponge cake in it and covered with the fresh cream(not too strong taste of milk, perfect taste for cakes) and the end of the tip with some chocolate chip pieces. The first bite of the cake, melts in your mouth, as the fresh cream just melted and the sponge cake which is so soft makes your closing of the meals perfect. RM 11

With the cake been served, must not miss their ‘Cafe Mocha’ which I crave into. With the bitter sweet taste and sugarless, it taste the best, she cannot take without sugar so I put in two brown sugar cubes. A perfect taste for it. With the cakes and coffee. Great combo to go along. Of course with cappuccino or latte that is the best but mocha. Is just as good as ever. RM 10.

After the Jazz band started they do not served free water anymore. Purchase one and it is RM13 for 1 bottle of mineral water ‘Still’ of 500ml. ‘What the heck!’. The bottle looks unique.Did not know until paying the bills.

This was the jazz band of the night, ‘Zailan Razak Project’. One of the bass guitarist is a ex lecturer of local university around the year of 2002. Great band.

Do not say that this guy is old. He is Luiz Prakasam(hopefully I spelled correct). A great drummer I would say, as the bass guitarist mention that he had played in Europe, other parts of the world and for a great jazz band.

A special appearance of ‘Dia Fadilah‘(hopefully I spelled Correct), which I do not know who is that but she is a great live performance singer. She has a good voice.

With one of the best night ever, with a nice romantic surroundings and a great live band to look for, what can I ask for more.

~Happy Valentine’s Day~
