Breakfast buffet @ Contango, Majestic Hotel KL

Breakfast buffets at hotels are always a nice treat isn’t it?

The variety, being waited on, having eggs on demand in your preferred form (sunny side up, scrambled, poached – the eggs that you can never get right at home) and no dishes to wash after.

And that’s just a few of the draw of hotel breakfasts.
The ambiance plays a part too; beautifully laid out cutleries, comfortable sofa, air conditioned environment and sometimes, even soothing music.

After staying at many hotels, I have always known my preference; which is as much natural sunlight as possible since I hate any dim-lighted environment, a good western spread, Japanese sushi, great pastries/desserts and a broad selection at the cereal section.

Weekend brunch: Bedrock Restaurant Cafe, Taipan – waffles, breakfast, salted roast chicken

It’s been a while, since I’ve had a great chicken dish.
Not good, not decent, but GREAT.

I’m glad to share that I’ve had one such great chicken dish recently.

Bedrock’s signature is its Salted Roast Chicken (RM18), brined for hours before it is roasted to a shiny, golden brown color.
The resultant flavour is tasty, yet not overly salty and moist chicken meat. Its name of ‘salted chicken‘ might trigger some of us to link its flavour to the famous Ipoh salted baked chicken but I’ll like to assure you that it is NOT similar at all.

The non-halal food court @ Avenue K – Taste Enclave

The recent 1-2 years saw non-halal food courts popping up furiously in shopping malls.

Eating pork dishes is no longer confined to grubby coffee shops and decrepit food courts. Gone were the days when proprietors worry that serving the swine will reduce potential profits and market share.
No, now it is all about chewing on glorious crackly siew yok and melt-in-the-mouth char siew in the air-conditioned comforts of a food court located in swanky malls.
