It was Gareth's birthday last Wednesday and Mum had wanted to bring makan2 at Hyatt on Friday but after finding out Sis was coming back from Labuan, the date was reset for a Saturday luncheon.
I've always wondered why mum liked to eat out at Hyatt. She even became a member so that dapat the vouchers to eat there at a discounted price. Maybe Hyatt reflects a bygone(?) era of comfort, status, privilege and image? My tastebuds think Pacific Sutera offers more choice, more spread, and 5 different possible eating outlets there. But hey, mum's paying.
There was a new spread today. An additional meja spread for Malay cuisine. Ada sate with the kuah-kuah, berani rice (hehehe..), ayam percik and some more lauk. I didn't take much rice but just concentrated on the lauks. Let's see, there were roasted lamb, chicken, this chicken and cumin soup that was very light and nice (i think i want to learn how to make this, me being a soup person), and japanese food!
Didn't know most of the names la, know how to lolop only. I took 4 salmon sushi and ate only the salmon, 4 small bowls of steamed eggs which was topped with straw mushroom (sis said the egg tasted diluted but to me, after drizzling the top with some soya sauce, was sedap! could eat many more bowls!), and some miso soup which Dad liked.
Had some desserts afterwards. Lots of different cakes; tiramisu, chocolate cakes, some fluffy good tasting stuff and this attractive looking jelly-like thing in a small bowl which later i agree (with sis) that it tasted like tasteless nestum.
all in all, with perut kanyang, we went home happy and contented. Thank you mum. and oh... happy belated (12th) birthday Gareth.
