The breaking of the fasts

Towards the end of Ramadhan, I find it easier and easier to fast, and more blessed with the benefits that the month brings. And excitement emulges slowly knowing AidilFitri is around the corner. My thoughts trail to what else, the food which I will be consuming during Raya, which I am sure you will read of in the next posts. Now..I have more stories of my buka puasa rendesvous.
Yes, nearing Raya, as the city was left empty coz folks started going off to their hometowns, me and family enjoyed a swift drive here and there for our berbuka puasa. The pasar Ramadhan (food market where all kinds of food are sold to cater muslims for berbuka) are visited less, coz we were starting to get sick of the same stuff. I was busy looking and booking places to eat in town.
We tried berbuka at this new and not-so-famous hotel called Radius-Inn International in Changkat Bukit Bintang. The cafe was small, the food not much but delicious nevertheless.

Then, I thought of trying the berbuka at Planet Hollywood, KL. I was expecting to see some western style delicacies, but the spread was the normal rice and kampung dishes. And not good cos we had to sit downstairs, and it was quite packed that day. Thankfully it has grilled selection, but we have to walk upstairs to the outdoor seating area to grab the grilled stuff, which was the norm ikan bakar, beef etc. I only remembered the Onion soup to be dam sedap.

Next was Aseana KLCC. This time my eldest bro, Abg Maja and family joined in as well. I have heard so much about Aseana, but have not tried it. And I was glad I did. It's a cosy yet exclusive bistro situated at the corner of KLCC (at the Mandarin Oriental's side door entrance to KLCC). Our arrival was coincidently same with Abg Maja, so we walked in the bistro having a good table outside. It was a little rainy, so the air was cool and fresh. Not much selection, but what's available are very tasty and nicely presented. I especially enjoyed the sambal udang, tomyam soup (tho not heated well), and the cute lil dessert tarts! My niece, Anis, even packed home a few of those into her handbag *grin*. After the scrumptuous meal, we walked out together, and didn't miss the chance to snap a few shots.


The next venture is to Dynasty Hotel on Jln Ipoh. Now this was my most favorite rendesvous. We went on Raya eve, so it was pretty much empty. The food selection..my oh my was surprisingly quite good, there were crabs, tiger prawns, roasted lamb, yongtaufoo, rojak, wild mushroom soup *grin*. And it was allll sedap. The dessert/fruits table has this beautifully carved melon. And there were a 'mini' band performing us with Raya songs..yup..very happening.
