Mountain of Food Explorace Part 2: The World Club Lounge, Coffee Terrace, Chin Swee Vegetarian Restaurant

Heyho, everyone! I'm back with my Genting trip story. This time is my second day, and I was so exhausted and fun at once. Where should I start? Hmmm.. Breakfast seems a good start. We had our breakfast at The World Club Lounge. The place wasn't spacious but neat and comfort. Plus, we could enjoy the beautiful view while breakfast.

Our first challenge of the day was making a package of food with "energizing" theme. And we had to eat all the food afterwards. Since this challenge given after we had breakfast and we still had many challenge after this, so we had to be so smart in arranging our dish. Voila! This is what we got. I'm pretty proud of our creation. :') 

We still had some challenges afterwards where we had to go some tenants of the huge mall they had there, and we got free jackets! hihihi. *huge smile*

Just about half past elven (11.30am), we were ready for lunch at Coffee Terrace. Yup, it's their famous buffet dining whose had 6 live kitchen! What did I seek for the first? Of course sweets and desserts! :))

Look what I found!!
Yeah, you're not wrong, and your eyes are find. It's ostrich! I never ate ostrich meat before. So I dared myself to try once. Actually the texture was similar with mutton. I believed it had the same smell like mutton had, but fortunately the spices was sooooo strong that I almost couldn't smell.

Let's take picture with our new jackets! :p

After lunch, we got some more challenges. This time, we got free entrance to theme park! Wohoo!

I was very excited. This challenge was the one I loved the most.  

4pm sharp, we went to Chin Swee Temple. It's a temple located near Resort World Genting. It was such a beautiful temple. The challenge here was we had to find Oprah (the officer), and we had to seek her in the entire temple. The temple had a pagoda, whose 9 level height. The clue was "Oprah is in the highest point of the temple". So when we arrived, we just strike to the highest level. I made it to 8th floor, until a friend told me that Oprah wasn't there (he already reached the 9th floor). What a waste of energy! lol. 
Here's my pict, in order to prove, I had ever reahed 8th floor using stairs in my life! :p
Wait! Every level had a door to outside where we could see a very green and beautiful view. Ah, of course I didn't want to miss it. I enjoyed the view for about 5 minutes before going back to the first floor. 

We found Oprah in the prayer room. Not long after that, it's time for dinner! Yes, we ate that much. :))

There's a vegetarian restaurant here. Chin Swee Vegetarian Restaurant.

Soup of The Day

Sauted Mushroom with Broccoli

Pomfret with Thai Sauce

Salted Fish and Pork in Claypot

Loh Hon Chai in Yam King 

Lamb Curry

Stir Fry Vegetables

My favorite was Loh Hon Chai in Yam King. In ordinary restaurant, we might say it was deep fried prawn with sauce, that placed in a bowl-shaped yam cake. I saw this kind of dish for some times in Medan-ese (Tio Ciu) restaurant. But the difference is, this time was a vegetarian version, so no prawn, no meat, and no garlic.

Bluegrass

Located just right at the opposite of Otel Lobby, Bluegrass succeed to attract my attention. Moreover, one of my friend highly recommend this place.  So I came by and tried some of their menus. Hope I wouldn't disappointed. 

Texas Beef Ribs (150K). It came in a big size, way from my expectation, and it looked good. So first impression was 10. Lets see if this dish could kicked my buds. They have 3 variants of sauce: original, BBQ, and gentlemen jack rare tennessee whiskey. I chose gentlemen jack, and I didn't have any regret. It tasted so good. The meat (beef) was so tender and juicy. Chewing it even seemed effortless. The spices really well-absorbed. It came with mashed potato which also tasted good and went very well with the tasty meat. For the matter of size, this dish could be shared for 2-4 persons.

Asparagus Bacon Puff Pastry (60K). As I ever said, I love puff pastry. Interested with this one, so I dared myself to try. And I loved it! Savory puff pastry and salty bacon, plus half done egg yolks combined with crunchy asparagus could bring heaven to me. 

Granny's Apple Pie (55K). Yup, it's double crust pie with apple and spices filling. The crust was (of course) crispy and the filling has soft texture and strong cinnamon taste. Came with a bowl of vanilla ice cream which went well with the pie. This wasn't my favorite, but I was quiet satisfied with it.

Collage - Pullman Jakarta

Hi people! 

This time, my owner were invited to a buffet dining at Collage, Pullman Hotel Jakarta. Pullman Hotel had just opened their first hotel ini Jakarta (they have one in Bali). Located at Central Park, this hotel has direct access to Central Park Mall. 

So bad my owners came late because one of them was in a big matter. Please don't ask what's that. Oh no. Stop asking. I said don't ask! ;)

Anyway, as my owners are in major addiction of Instagram , so today's photos are provided via instragram. I mean, edited with instagram. :) ---> Hey, please feel free to follow them : @rozelina & @ANTZL33

Back to Collage. Collage is an all-day dining at Pullman. Ssssttt. They also had a bar named Bunk. 

Collage provides many kind of foods, they had some blocks of stall. One block for Indian, one block for Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, etc. All the menu change everyday but still sticks to theme of each block. Each blocks had some chefs cooking, and we could watch them making food. 

The foods was average. I mean, what do you expect from an international buffet? The main point of being international food buffet is provide food as much as you can. Not to make something that would become their signature. Well, even it would be better if they had one. But who cares? As long as the food wasn't bad, they're good. 

The place was so comfy, and they also had outdoor seat too. The interior design still sticks with the whole building design, which very similar to art gallery. So bold and different with another five stars hotels. And FYI, I love love love the concept and design of the whole interior. (as much as i saw)

Overall, I enjoyed the dishes. They were good. I saw sushi, sashimi, curry, dimsum, pasta, etc. The also provide cocktails and mocktails if you ask. I heard the price is about 190,000++ IDR/person during weekdays, and 228.000 IDR++/person for weekend. (exclude beverage) 

If you asked about it is worth the price or not, maybe it will come back to you. How much can you eat?  ;)

You have to see their desserts stall! So drooling. 

By the way, most of the photos below are desserts. Yeah, I love dessert. But it doesn't mean I didn't eat the maincourse. It's just I haven't upload the other photos, because they're still in another camera. I will upload them soon. Promise. ;)

Colorful Macaroons. They had different flavor for each color. Yum!

 

Croissant Pudding. Yeah, it's not bread pudding. It's Croissant Pudding. Extremely yummy!!! And i'm craving for this now. Somebody please bring me one! 

Foie Gras Cream Brulee. - Well, I'm not a fan of foie gras. Don't ask me. ;p

Cold misoba. slurp!

Fat Burger

Heyho readers!

As a netizen, online shopping is like a common thing nowadays. Once I opened Groupon Indonesia or also may be known as Disdus, they was offering Fat Burger coupon, only with 35K IDR, you'd have 1 portion of Fat Burger and 1 milkshake. FYI, Groupon is an online company that offers many things (service/product) for a special price. And of course I love it! I always love special thing. (read: discounted price)

Well, I tried Fat Burger once, and I was pretty love it, but as i remembered, Fat Burger was quiet expensive. But 35K for 1 burger and 1 milkshake? Of course I didn't have to think twice.

Fat Burger - It's beef. And it's yummy. The beef hamburger was soft, tender, and juicy at first but a bit dry at last. The lettuce and cubical-cut onion, completed with pickles, brought up the sensation of juiciness which balancing the dry-at-last-beef. Tasted savory. And I want some more. Woooh!

Anyway, this kind of burger comes in 4 size: kids size, fat burger, double (with 2 hamburgers), and triple (with 3 hamburgers). Can you imagine how big is the triple size??

Of course i chose chocolate milkshake. For a chocolate lover like me, it's a betrayal to not choose chocolate. :p

Anyway, the milkshake was thick and rich. Seriously, I got full just to drink a cup of milkshake. hahaha. But it tasted nice. Well blended and not easy to melt. Unfortunately it was too sweet, even for me. (maybe because i'm already so sweet. *blush*)

One more thing. After I redeem my Groupon voucher here, there's a fish bowl, filling with some tiny paper, and I could take one. Ok, lets try my luck. TADAAA! I got new coupon worth 10K IDR! hahaha. I heard someone before me got 25K IDR. I asked the waitress, she said the biggest number is 100K IDR. Wow, I want it!hahaha.

Overall, I was fully satisfied with my spending this time. Not only I got nice dinner with discounted price and even got another cashback, but I also enjoyed the ambience and kindness of the waiter/ess. They're very helpful to me. *big grin*

Ok, see you later. I'm gonna go to Groupon again to check their deals today! I dont want to pass anything. They only give 6 days for a deal to be posted. :p

Food Tasting Panel ( JackRabbit)

Heyho! Tommy's here. Another food tasting invitation came from JackRabbit. Yuhuuu! Big thanks to Goorme.

In the invitation, written the event would be lead by Chef Juna as Excecutive Chef. So I planned to take a pict with him and made all the girls jealous of me!*evil laugh*

Unfortunately, my evil plan couldn't be done. Chef Juna was too busy shooting for Masterchef Indonesia. :(

But I still can make everybody envy, just by posting my visit there. :D

Oh, as this is a food tasting, so don't ask me about the price. And all the menu below are available for brunch. (they have different menu for lunch and dinner)

The event was held for brunch, so it started about 11.30am.

Complimentary bread. Yeiy! As I was in major hunger, these breads really save my life. LoL.

The bread was good. Not too soft and not too rough. Tasted light.

2 Eggs Any Style. Well, I don't like the style. hahaha. It was very hard to be sliced. Maybe because it was already cold, so the egg was harder then before. So I gave up to cut it, and eat something else.

Beef Chicichangga! Love this!!!hihi. Looks like a springrolls, rite? But it wasn't! Inside that tortilla was minced beef, which super delicious. Sweet and spicy. The spice really really great. Crunchy outside, juicy and tasteful inside.

It served with baked beans, which contains pork anyway. So if you don't eat pork, just don't eat the baked beans. :)

Lamb Chop. Hey, it was nice. I rarely eat lamb, but i said this one was great! It's a chop of grilled lamb's leg. Pretty similar with barbeque. Tasted a bit sweet and savory. It served with tortillas, so you may eat them together. 1 portion only contains 2 lamb chop.

I can't talk much about this, I don't deal with lamb often. :p

Caviar Scrambled Egg. When you put a bit of caviar, you shouldn't put caviar into the dish's name. The sausages was nice as before. Garlic bread was okay. Bacon was okay. I didn't got the scrambled egg so I don't know how did it taste.

Chicken En Croute. As we (me and other food bloggers) agreed to order one of each dish,at last I ordered this one again for myself.hehe.

I love pastry! This dish reminded me of beef wellington. So you already know the idea, huh?

Chicken swelled in pastry. First time they served it, it was cold already. But 2nd time I ordered, it came warm. Yeiy! And it was much better when still warm. The pastry a bit crunchy and savory. The chicken was juicy. I forgot what's in the middle of chicken, but i am pretty sure it was kind of vegetables. I enjoyed this dish so much!

Beef Wiener Schnitzel. Ooooh how I love this! This was deep fried sliced beef. Taste tender, juicy, tasty, and crunchy. It went very well even without the sauce.hahaha. Served with mashed potato which just okay.

Grilled Quarter Chicken Lemon. As you may see the title, it's a quarter of chicken. It was grilled. Tasted salty and juicy. For me it was too ordinary. Anyway, I don't like undone meat. For me it's yucky. As this chicken was pretty huge, the middle of it was still undone and bloody. Yaiks!

Egg Benedict. Id you think this is a burger, you're totally wrong. On the top, it was egg. Yeah. It was egg! How can they made an egg into that shape? Me don't know. But to be honest, I was amazed. Seems like it was pan-fried. But its shape was too perfect. Anyway, it was wellcooked. When you break the egg, the yolk flowed out and it was TEMPTING! Below the yolk, there were some slices of bacon, and sweet mini bread. Again, egg was the hero. I believe even Gordon Ramsay would love this.lol

Steak & Egg. I didn't eat this. I found almost empty plate when I was going to eat this.hahaha. So I assume this one was yummy that everybody else compete just to eat it. :D

Laksa. I don't like the laksa. It tasted too milky and tasteless to me.

American Hearty Pancakes. JackRabbit has great sausage! I love love love the sausage.hihi. Juicy, soft but not mushy. The pancakes was also good. Soft and sweet. Their pancakes were not fluffy. Oh, and the bacon was just okay. I prefer the sausage. lalalal~

Butterscotch Pancakes. Same with the former pancakes, it tasted good. But I didn't like the touch of raisin-ice cream which smells like cinnamon. I thought some more fruits would be nice.

Sorry for the poor quality. As it was dim light and we (even) got blackout some times, so it was really lack of light there. I got this Choco Lava as my complimentary because I check in for the first time here at 4square.hahaha. You may also get it just by showing your check in to the waiter.

Anyway, the choco lava was superb. Love the rich moist choco cake with hot melting dark choco!! The mocca ice cream gave balance to the rich chocolate. As decoration, there was cute rabbit chocolate with cherry inside it. NYUM!

Guilty pleasure came after.hahahaha

Apple Pie. As ordinary apple pie, it taste sweet and cinnamon-y. That was sorbet shich tasted light and refreshing. Really good for dessert. :D

Tiramisu. 3 words: Light, sweet, coffee. Love it!

I ordered Macha Mint Smoothie. Maybe I have to admit, I am not a greentea lover. Hah! It tasted minty, sweet, and vanilla-ish. Vanilla made me wanna throw up. :p

Can you see we ate a lot, huh?lol

And we got free voucher valued 300.000IDR from JackRabbit!!! Horeyyy!

Big thanks to JackRabbit and Goorme. Sure I'll be back soon. Wanna join me? :D
