I’m sure now… everytime when you tuned in to Hitz.fm.. you’ve heard of.. ALL the ramadhan buffets ranging from the Malay-Balinese Buffet from Pullman, The Macam-Macam Ada Mega Buffet from Grand Margherita Hotel and… of coz.. with the title.. the Bigger, the Better BCCK Ramadhan Buffet.
This Year, Borneo Convention Center Kuching (BCCK) is having a bigger and better buffet as compared to last year… This year, it is held in the Great Halls ABCD which can accommodate up to 1000 diners a night

Oh.. awesome isnt it?

Which the purple theme.. how elegant
One thing about BCCK.. the Great hall only open for the diners at Buka Puasa time.. Kiasu people like myself, rose, jacq, cyril, jimmy.. eve…well.. almost everyone who came early will have to wait outside the hall…

with mike and sophia..

camwhoring and having fun… 38-ing. *miahahahahahaha*


Hellu Rosieeeee <3

When the clock hits 6.50pm.. we all went in. First.. to all the counters serving different goodies..

The Banana, Apple and Prawn Fritters Counter

The Roasted Duck and Chicken Rice Counter

Shawarma Counter

Roasted Lamb Counter and many many more..

Start off our meal with Kurma..

And then to the Starters

Ulam with the leaves that Jaq can chew like a mooo-mooo

Smoked Salmon.. Oh well.. they actually changed the Menu every FRIDAY. So.. this round.. we dont have fresh salmon but we have the smoked one “)

The Greens

Proceed on to the mains.. No kidding thats only a very SMALL part of it

Among the favourite… Satay.. The beef satay is very nice!

And the Shawarma aka Kebab is not bad as well

My personal preference.. mashed potatoes with Brinjal in spices.. Brinjal lovers like me.. you will love it.. even tho you dont take brinjal.. you will definately love the mash potatoes

Nasi Briyani with chicken

Mushroom Soup

Bubur Pedas

Lasagna

and roti canai..

And.. Jeng Jeng Jeng! lovely !

Time for dessert.

To be honest. Really love the dessert..

especially all the fresh berries with it. Impressive

They have varieties of these but every single one just give u a little surprise out of no where

Not forgetting the ice kacang

Cendol with coconut

and even the traditional kek lapis


Well.. really enjoy the food and all the laughters that night. Lovely people. and thankiuk mike for the invitation. You are getting slimmer and slimmer each other.. *rooar*

Anyhow… it is recommended to make a reservation to secure your table. The menu changed every Friday.. RM 65 nett for adult and RM 25 nett for children age 5-12 from 5th August to 26th. For more information, call 082-392 889 from 9am to 6pm daily

Disaster : Flash run out of battery half way.. so.. some of the pic.. T.T

Moving by the buffet line.. the seafood station..

The seafood is fresh.. the mussels are sweet.. and the prawn are crunchy! *nom nom*

At the carving station.. it is where you can find all the BBQ stuff.. included the roasted lamb the lady is holding…

With or without black pepper sauce..

And another one of my favourite.. the boneless chicken! Very tender and juicy..
To the mains…
They have more than 10 choices but those are my very favourite one. “)

The butter prawn is definitely worth a try.. No matter how full you are.. its a must to try still. muahahaha!
Another specialty of Sungkei Rai Ramadhan Buffet will be the Indian cuisine…

He is flying the roti canai high~ *weeeeeee*

And down on my plate with the special pineapple curry. *yum*

Not only that, they have varieties of curries, satays and even kebabs!

Oh Oh.. did i mentioned about Japanese Cuisine….

Salmon… lotsa lotsa salmon…

Sashimi???

Salmon-very-the-thick-sashimi?? *grin* I-M-HAPPY!

After the sashimi.. here comes the steamboat… Mine i have seafood and beef with tom yam base..
And before moving on to the dessert.. i specially wanted to recommend this..

I KNOW.. i am too busy and happy eating until i forgotten to take the picture of the food.. Its the fried kuih.. They have REALLY NICE pisang goreng… kuih kurma.. Prawn fritters, and… potatoes yam fritters.. My favourite is always banana fritters! i had 4 of banana fritters and… maybe around 7 of the fried kurma kuih! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Felt really bad for neglecting my blog for another one month. July was really busy and down. July is finally over and August will be a good one. Ramadhan Month. A very important month for all the Muslim.. And a very fulfilling makan makan month for us.
1st of August.. Puzzle Restaurant at Pullman Kuching is offering a Malay-Balinese Ramadhan Buffet for the whole month…

The two main chefs from Bali… Chef Kadek Janu Wirama and Chef Gusti Made Diartawan purposely came down to Pullman Kuching for a month to present their authentic Balinese food.
Puzzle restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes.. Ranging from.. Kerabu families.. Kerabu Daging, Kerabu pucuk paku, kerabu mangga muda and much more..

If kerabu is too heavy for you, you can always opt for the western GREEN salad..

Or if you like it.. heavier.. and in a more traditional starter.. you can opt for this..

Too many sauce to choose i know

Or.. Balinese style!

Pepes Ikan (Fish marinated balinese spices wrap with banana leave)

Perkedel Jagung (Corn fritters with Balinese spices)

Tum Ayam (Chicken Yellow Balinese spices wrap with banana leaves)

Or combination… like me!
After all the starter.. here comes the Malay-Balinese Food. The main attraction for the night as well.

Kambing Menyat-nyat ( Lamb Stew with Balinese Spices)

Ayam Panggang Plecing ( Roasted Chicken with red chilli and tomato sauce)

Ikan Goreng Sambal Bawang ( Baby fish with fried shallot spice)

Beef Rendang ( Beef Stew with Balinese Spice)

Sate Empol Ikan ( Fish Finger Skewer)

Ayam Bertutu ( Smoked chicken in Balinese Spice wrap in banana leave)

Udang Bumbu Bali ( Prawn stew in coconut yellow gravy)

Cumi Sambal Matah ( Squid with raw Balinese spice)

Ready to eat!!
When you finished your Balinese Food.. it is recommended to go to the alley to have to slight walk for digestion as well as to aim for other food.

Not only Balinese Food, Puzzle Restaurant is serving food from other countries as well…

Local Delicacies like Penang Char Kway Teow, Roti Canai, Rojak, Laksa Sarawak and kuih Nyonya.. separately served in 4 different stations

Roasted Lamb…. A must for buka puasa nom nom*

Very Juicy indeed

lamb kurma, Beef curry , Honey chicken and the fish head curry is a blast!!

Vietnam popiah and roti john special..

Mexican tortilla and nachos.. omg.. i m loving this so much <3

And even seafood station… Jus pick any seafood and ask the chef to settle for you. My choice : Crabby
And if you are still not full, go back in and grab the international buffet!




A piece of each will mountain up to this

Oh.. never forget to try the bubur lambuk….. very very nice!

And our portion for 3…

Jacq don wan to be in the photo she say she din wear nice nice… =.=
