Ramadhan Special: Palace of the Golden Horses

Surprise surprise! Palace of the Golden Horses (PGH) invited me for the launching of their Iftar Ramadhan buffet, starting next month, throughout the month of Ramadhan at Carousel International Restaurant, in coorporation with Mines Wellness Hotel. Oh gosh. I must tell you how I miss Ramadhan food. I haven't had it since like, a century ago T_T

Anywho, the hotel was kind enough to invite small children from orphanages to the event as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Others among me were the media, bloggers and invited guests.

Love their backdrop. Simple and clean, and guess what?

The 'crescent moon' you see is an actual food layout, photographed from above!

That mosque you see? It's actually made of cake and icing. O___O

Hmmm, I don't know who all the bigshots are xD But I know that

The dude on the far right is PGH's Operation Manager. Oh, and the

middle lady is the orphanage caretaker I think.

AND NOWWWWWWWW IT'S TIME FOR TEH FOODZ!
OH GLORIOUS FOOD.

Oh wait, before that they had a prayer of course.

He's from the orphanage

AND NOW FOR THE FOOD! I'll just let the pictures do the talking.

Sushi here... O.o sounds legit.

You'll never believe how big of a gearbox they gave me!

Howley sheet I can eat all of that

My bread, Roti John. xD

The chefs were sporting enough to help the children

With ghazal band performance!

I think he likes me. o_o

OK, that's all for today. But one thing's for sure - OMG. It was so tasty. I heard from the chefs that they will have 3 different menus rotating daily during Ramadhan, so people will always find something new if they come here. What dedication!


Toodlessssssss~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Restaurant Sushi King

I gotta tell you, some of the dishes here are surprisingly better than Sakae Sushi, and this is at Mines Shopping Mall as usual =_= Key locations are Palace of the Holden Horses and Mines Wellness Hotel since those are the only place I can think of. Hmmm, speaking of which I have yet to talk about food there. Maybe in the future then.

Besides tastier dishes, Sushi King also serves LESS EXPENSIVE FOOD! Which is awesome pawsome for my wallet. Here's what I ate:

Can't remember but I think it's called a 'Mix _______ bento' or something :P

Salmon is tasty and decent in portion and so is the fish/chicken karaage.

Things missing from the picture are two slices of takuan (Japanese pickles, info here) and a chunk of rice since I'm too damn starving to snap a picture before eating xD Or rather, tasted it and thought it is too big of an opportunity to post something delicious :D

Ina-chan says hi! :D

Restaurant Sakura Kristal

Now who the hell used such a gentle flower on a totally hard word, especially starting with "K" of all letters, to name a restaurant? Such foolishness I tell you, blasphemy! If it's Crystal I wouldn't mind but please, this name is damn icky. Such an 'unsmooth' restaurant name. Well, hope the food is good, right? :)

Now me and my department went to this restaurant which newly opened in Mines Shopping Mall. Probably landmarks around here are... Palace of the Golden Horses, Mines Wellness Hotel, Besraya Toll? Lol. I'll use those more frequently to let people get familiar with this place if they ever wanna come here.

Now let's go straight to the point. It was Tuesday and their set menu was drink, 2 fried dumplings, and a dish of the day. I chose Beef Fried Rice. Looks like a nice dish! Right? RIGHT?

Well they call it beef fried rice but you can't really see any beef in it. Just microscopic cubes that even bacteria find it hard to detect (ok, too exaggerated but yea xD). That 'black sauce' is misleading because it's actually black pepper. OK. So, does this mean it's BLACK PEPPER Fried Rice instead of BEEF Fried Rice? Well, I personally think so. They probably think cows poop black pepper seeds and think the poop is associated with beef since it came from a cow. =P

At any rate, the dish was... hmmm, interesting. The taste is acceptable, and if you're a black pepper lover you'll surely love this. But for the portion... Let's just say it'll fit you if you're on diet ;)

But still, it's good. But fail. And good at the same time. GAH. I'll have to explain I guess:

Rating:
Dish naming: FHAIL WHALE
Taste: 60% pass if you wanna eat beef but don't mind getting black pepper instead of beef.
Portion: So-so


P.S: The tomato and cucumber was lovely. Made a great couple.

On a side note! I came across this xD

The Oatmeal strikes again lol.

Adieu~!
