A smorgasbord of Sundanese (Indonesian) fare – Bumbu Desa, The Curve

The latest addition to the The Glutton Street at The Curve is a restaurant chain from Indonesia, Bumbu Desa, bought into our Malaysian shores by none other than the same management of KL clubs empire; Quattro, The Library, Scarlett & Laundry.

Yes, “from clubs to food??“, some of my friends had commented when I shared this piece of news. Well, if you are leaking cash from your pores, F & B can still a good bet considering the eating habits of Malaysians. And something new to the F & B scene is always welcomed, especially to foodies (unless it sucks of course, but then that would make for an interesting blog post 😆 ).

The concept here is almost buffet; presentation – wise, but not price -wise. All the delicious food is laid out on a long table, and ala chap-fun style, point at your choice & state the quantity you wish. The friendly (though blur) staff will have it re-heated, price calculated & served to your chosen dining table between 10 -15 mins.

Original Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima Style), Lowyat Plaza LG

An Okonomiyaki is a form of savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. Okonomi means “what you like”, and yaki meaning “grilled” ; case in example the meat/seafood in the okonomiyaki (yakitori) & the noodles in it (yakisoba).

In Japan, Okonomiyaki is mainly associated with Kansai or Hiroshima areas, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region. (source: Wikipedia)

In Malaysia, Okonomiyaki can be found in…… of all places;  Low Yat Plaza, though I just read recently of another restaurant who offers this tasty & simple pancake.
