ITS JUNE! Once a year Yusuf Taiyoob Time!

Happy berbuka puasa to all the muslim friends! First stop for this year I’ll  be presenting the Ramadhan feast in Pullman Kuching! This year, blending in a very spectacular candle ritual that lights up the Holy month of June. 

The candle ritual is originated from the French roots. An old custom of lighting the streets of Paris from the reign of King Louis XIV during the mid 17th century. The meaning behind for the candle lighting ritual is believed to chase away the shadows of the dark and to usher the magic of the night, earning a nickname “La Ville Lumiere” or as you prefer, “City of Lights”. 

Thank you Pullman Kuching for making this Holy Month more interesting and memorable. 

And for this year Ramadhan Feast, we have the new GM of Pullman Kuching, Mr. Terry Butt-Gow whom just took over the office early this month. I guess we will meet quite often then. Haha!

A wider range of buffet selections, Pullman Kuching offered more than 150 dishes comprising of the local favourites, traditional Malay cuisines and International cuisines. As usual, there is also a line of live food stalls outside Puzzle’s terrance, serving both barbeque and roasted dishes. 

To start off is the Ulam platter.

From umai ikan, salai lumek, umai udang, jeruk, salada and ulam-ulaman with assorted condiments. I think if you tried all the ulam section, you will be half full already. 

The clay-pot section, they have a wide range of selection.

From Ayam Masak Merah, Kari Daging Berkentang, Sambal udang petai, bawal hitam masak assam pedas, tumisan aneka sayuran, gulai daging kambing to dalca sayur sayuran. However, the menu will varies a little bit everyday. 

One of the highlight of the Ramadhan buffet is their live food stalls outside Puzzle’s terrance. Lets see one by one!

Enough for the savoury dishes, now its for the sweet tooth. I believed no matter how full you are, theres always room for dessert! Yes! Dessert! Not only the dessert bar, they also have traditional malay kuih counter, ice kacang counter, fruits counter and the local dessert counter! Lets dig in!!!

What is the better than a feast of good food? The food companion!!! There are people whom I have no seen for months. Whom we used to go food hunting together, whom we get crazy together, whom I missed a lot!

The oh nom nom nom long time no see glutton group! Hello dearest! Long time no see!

Even ahlost now have upgraded become rose mama di! Hehehe!

Now, our first round second round and third round.

and for the bubur pedas and bubur lambok. Not too similar like the traditional ones but still not bad!

And for the impressive tasty Laksa Sarawak and Mee Kolo that I mentioned just now.. here it is!

Laksa Sarawak. Rose mama is a laksa addict. She said its good.. so.. its good.

The Mee Kolo is a little bit different that the one who had at the coffee shop. This one is a fusion type of mee kolo and mee goreng. OMG just so good!! I hope the rest of the month it will remain as good as we tasted it!

Bread and BUTTER. My all time favourite…

Fried ice cream which is a little bit melted. But fried cream do ok too. Hahahhaa!

And the malay kuih.. TRY the tapai! *shocked*

Anyway, thank you Pullman Kuching, ai fern and the members for the invitation. Love your food love your service even more. And we had a very good time eating chit chatting and exchange ghost stories until the cafe closed. hahaha!
