This is a throwback post to last year series of 'makan-makan' after the lockdown 'lifted' end of last year.
Not long after our farewell 'makan makan' with our HOD, the company has organised another 'farewell' for her cum year-end dinner in the office.
As usual, we would have to register ourselves, in order to participate.
Got food....so yours truly surely go!
this happened on a Friday evening sometime mid December....
can't remember much of the dishes but it has aglio olio spaghetti, fried rice (as u can see below) and mostly western mix/fusion typical Malaysian dishes such as black pepper beef, curry chicken, prawns, veggies etc
and of course Satays!
seems like the organising committee never fail to order satays...
As it was a year end, some staffs were on leave, hence not many people joining this makan-makan, and they only order a handful satays just enuff for everyone (unlike 1000 sticks during the sau gong dinner in Jan)
This weird combination of satay, potato wedges and kuih lapis platter is my very last plate of foods (after many rounds earlier). I was having a good chat with my teammates and this plate of food was just to 'layan' my itchy mouth while chilling at the pantry.
Meanwhile some 2 weeks later, my team has excess fund after our lunch at Le Meridien back in Nov, so we booked a table at Bungalow 37 for a fine dining meal.
our allocated budget was RM150++ per pax
hence it is sufficient for a 4 course meal.
I ordered a mocktail...can't remember what is this but it tastes refreshing!
the cocktail/mocktail bar with the bartender 'in action'
we went there on a Wednesday evening on the final week of December (29 Dec), and the place was 'full house' coz everyone was having a jolly year end dining too (although it wasn't new year 'eve' yet).
The starter....octopus salads
pumpkin soup
now, is the main....
originally it was a lamb shank with couscous, but due to out-of-stock, it was replaced with lamb rack and without couscous😒
and yea....just 2 miserable racks...
without carbs i dun feel full
lastly the dessert....pomelo with a miserable piece of longan, mint and raspberry sherbet
that's all!
The ambience is OK-la...
just an old bungalow converted into restaurant and with some fancy decoration like an English house
well, food 'can be better', lousy music and so-so ambience....
i think i can have better meal with the same price elsewhere (but of course not under the 'fine dining' category)
fine dining is definitely not for me...i felt hungrier after the meal...LOL!
here's one merit...at least their garden is nice!

Wah, work in your company is so nice. All these makan makan is making my mouth water. 🤤🤤🤤
I like the buffet makan-makan. I will sure go many rounds LOL! I agree that the fine dining dishes could have been better, even the presentation can be improved.
I like buffet makan too, many varieties and can enjoy a bit of this and that. I like the garden. Fine dining means the food is also in fine serving.
Beautiful place with garden. Food looked tasty. I love buffet. Can take and eat all you want.
I always loved buffet and would skip a meal before attacking the buffet table. Ate until tummy almost exploded. Now still recuperating, no buffet.
Aiya make sure enough food to fill a tummy laaa.
