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.

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!

Satoo

Hey readers! Have you ever feel that the food is never been enough? If you have, I get the answer for you. Its name is buffet. wahahaha.
And this time, my choice went to Satoo. wohoo!
As Satoo is one of an award winning restaurant, it became one of well-known buffet restaurants in Jakarta. Located in Shang-rila Hotel, one of luxurious hotel in Jakarta, it has been popular since long time ago. Satoo has open kitchen concept, where you may see some of the chefs cooking while eating. It provides many kinds mouth-watering of foods, from Indonesian, Chinese, Indian, European, Italian, Japanese, etc.

This was my first batch. I took them from Indian corner. But I don't remember their names.hahaha. Two of them were chickens. They were pretty good anyway. The green fried rice was just okay and tasted a bit plain.heheh. That prata thingy had weird jam. I found citrus smell there, but I didn't know what've made it so yucky. And the front right one, i majorly forgot what's that. But the sauce also weird to me.haha. So, as conclusion, the Indian food was not recommended.


Nah, my second batch was way better. :D
I took them from grill corner or something. Those meats were beef, and they're yummy! :9
The puff was just a bit savory, and it went really well with the meats.hihi.

This was my third batch, and it was.... Indonesian! There was nasi uduk, udang bakar (grilled prawn), mie goreng (fried noodles). Oh, I combined it with Chinese too. I took Bakpau isi telur asin (chinese bun) and those dumplings were great. yeiy! I love the not-dry dumplings. Oh, and those fried beancurd, also pretty yummy, but so bad it was extremely too oily. Huff.


I couldn't wait longer. The desserts was too tempting, so I took all of these. wahaha.
Left- green tea opera cake: very nice. I'm not into green tea, but this time, I'm so into it. :)
Back- chocolate cake: I forgot whether there was the lava or not.hehe. But I remember it was good. The chocolate was rich.
Right & front- I forgot what's that, but they're nice too. I ate them all 'till nothing left on my plate. NYUM!


Cranberries crumble. It was yummy! After all the fulfilling food and sweet teeth, this cranberries crumble was a good choice. It tasted sour and refreshing. The crumble was a bit sweet.

Who doesn't like Chocolate fondue? Sure, I must not pass for it.lol. As I was pretty full already, here's all I got. Oh, there were some choices you may choose to dip to the chocolate. They're strawberry, melon, and marshmallow. :D
