Biggest Buffet Dinner is back in Town!

Happening for the first time since the recent hotel renovation patrons have a choice of dining at the refreshed Orchid Garden Coffee House or enjoy the scenic view of the Sarawak River from the pool side. The coffee house is tastefully decorated with its floor-to-ceiling glass walls and vibrant coloured interior.

Widely regarded as the biggest buffet in town, patrons will be treated to a wide offering of Chinese, Indian, Western, Middle Eastern, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian and 1Malaysia favourite dishes.

With over 188 flavouful dishes served daily throughout the month of Ramadhan, this buffet dinner also features carvery delights from the Middle East, live cooking stations and authentic Penang hawker specialty such as Char Kueh Tiaw, Asam Laksa and Hokkien Prawn Mee served fresh and hot by chefs flown in from Penang itself.

Start off on a memorable culinary experience with the chef’s selection of appetizing Chinese Cold Cut and also the ever popular red dates which has become an important part of the breaking fast ritual. Do not miss out on the Ramadhan specialties such as the Gurame Goreng Sans Cabek, Opor Ayam Kluwak, Ayam Bumbu Ketumbar and Pepes Ikan Mas from Indonesia as well as cuisines from the Middle East namely the Dajaj Lafat, and Kofta Bil- Tahina.

Also available is the Indian food selection featuring Biryani Rice with Condiments, Thandoori Murg, Roti Naan and also Potato Samosa, Wok Fried Mix Vegetables, Changkok Manis Masak Lemak dan Labu and Tumis Sayuran for vegetarian diners.

In the heart of the coffee house lies the island styled show kitchen where interaction between diners and chef is very much encouraged.

The Original Macam - Macam Ada Buffet Dinner is a month long promotion happening from 11th August to 9th September 2010, RM79++/person.

A popular choice for diners, seats are being snatched up quickly and so to avoid disappointment, early reservations should be made at 082-423111 ext 1109 / 1158.

The Club Lobby Lounge is located in Riverside Majestic Hotel. It’s just right next to the main entrance of the Riverside Shopping Complex. Currently, it’s only accessible via the side entrance just outside of the Hotel’s lobby, The Club Lobby Lounge opens up to a vibrant and inviting space. Upon completion of the Hotel Lobby due in June, guests of the hotel would be able to enter to the lounge via a large sliding door from within the hotel lobby itself.

It has unique and distinctive choice of decoration and ambience. Upon entering, one would surely notice the hard-to-be-missed centrepiece which consists of 2 sets of 2-pieces wood artefact. The artefact, made from local Belian wood is actually 2 individual wood forms being stacked on one another in such a way that it is both a creative masterpiece yet also a functional lounge table.

For those who prefer to see the baristas and bar tenders in action, the high chairs lining the bar area would give you the exclusive seat to all the actions as well as front row seat to the in-house live entertainment. The whole lounge follows a concept of natural timber tone with contrasting black granite.

There’s also the ceiling piece: a dark mahogany coloured native pattern illuminated with soft cove lights which is also widely used throughout the whole lobby lounge to add to its soft and cozy ambience. Around its circular outer walls, comfortable pastel-coloured sofas with throw cushions form clusters of lovely seating bays, perfect for privacy or just a casual get together with friends and business associates.

Just want to have a drink? The beverage menu starts from full range red and white wines, house pouring brands, hot drinks to health drinks.

The Club also serves a wide selection of cakes and pastries, including pies, pastries, cookies and even chocolate pralines, displayed in illuminated counters.

This suits the different appetites of its guests that come in from as early as 9am when it opens in the morning or those who stayed till as late as The Club’s closing time at 1am.

In conjunction of the opening, The Club Lobby Lounge is having its Happy Hour Deal from 12pm till 9pm daily. During this period, guests are entitled to the Buy 1 and get 1 Free offer for all house pouring brands, inclusive of beer, house wine and cocktails.

It’s a pleasure to be invited to the cocktail reception two nights ago. Here’s some food that we had.

The oysters were a hit among those who attended.

One of the desserts available.

Small in size but packed with freshness and flavours.

While you are at the lounge, do not miss the chance to sign up for the FREE Privilege Card that would entitle you to a 10% discount off the total food & beverage bill at the lounge.

The same card also carries identical privileges when used at Riverside Majestic’s sister hotel Grand Margherita’s Rajang Lobby Lounge.

According to the hotel’s spokesperson, holders of the privilege card could look forward to more upcoming promotions, made exclusive to them which are already in the planning.

Managed to pay a visit to Pullman Kuching recently. This post will show you the eateries available in the hotel.

There are two restaurants in Pullman Kuching:

Puzzle offers an al fresco dining experience with international and regional dishes.

This should be Nu Er Hong, a Chinese restaurant with an open concept kitchen.

If you just want to hang out with your friends, you can do so also at the following places in the hotel:

Deja Vu, a cosy lounge at the lobby.

Cafe Ch@t allows you to get connected while enjoying you pastries.

Liquid, the hotel’s superlative poolside venue with a DJ entertaining the crowd every weekend.

How can hotel be complete without ballrooms for banquets or functions right?

This is taken at one of the ballrooms. Did a rough estimation of the tables, they can roughly fit more than 1000 people here.

For reservations and enquiries, please call 082 222 888 or email to h6332@accor.com

Pullman Kuching is now open. It’s now one of the landmarks in Kuching. Very easy to spot, it’s located at the golden triangle of Kuching. Various places of interests are in walking distant and there are many other hotels surrounding it.

The new hotel houses two restaurants Puzzle, which offers an al fresco dining experience with international and regional dishes and Nu Er Hong, a Chinese restaurant with an open concept kitchen.

There is also a cosy lounge at the lobby named Deja Vu.

As for those who wish to get connected while enjoying their pastries, you could try out Cafe Ch@t.

Another option would be Liquid, the hotel’s superlative poolside venue with a DJ entertaining the crowd every weekend.

I just realized I have a lot of food post from my KL trip last year that I haven’t share. All these while I thought I had already posted it. Therefore there will be several more posts of my food experiences in KL to share in near future.

I managed to stayed at Holiday Inn Glenmarie Kuala Lumpur for 3 days 2 nights(inclusive of breakfast) when I was in KL. In fact it’s located at Shah Alam. It was a complimentary stay by Holiday Inn.

We had our breakfast buffet at Kites Restaurant. Located at the lower ground floor of the hotel.

The restaurant overlooks a landscaped garden and swimming pool. It offers a wide variety of local and continental fare as well as a wide selections of snacks.

These are some of the food we had during our stay there:
