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 ๐Ÿ˜† ).

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.

Surabaya food in KL?? Got… in Dataran Sunway Mentari!

According to an Indonesian foodie, Selba, Indonesia food is an exciting, tongue teasing medley of flavours. Surabaya is East Java, with its cuisine predominantly salty/savoury, Yogyakarta is Central Java, usually sweeter on the palate while Bandung is West Java, neither sweet nor salty (huh?) & the ever famous Balinese food that we KL-ites have come to know ofย  (thanks to the same company that runs Ole Ole Bali, Bumbu Bali & The Waterlily – I call it unfair monopolisation! )ย  is spicy and pungent.

While I am still on the hunt for fellow foodies to try The Uma at The Strand (which is non-halal), I was alerted about a new restaurant in town. Some excited mentions on Twitter got my interest, and a further link send to my Facebook gave me all the details I need. Social Media, how would one live without it, especially now.ย  Heck, recently I have been hijacking recipes by copying someone’s tweets ๐Ÿ˜‰

The restaurant was pretty easy to find, even for a directionally challenged individual like me.
