Enak Banget! Indonesian Food
Festival
Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar is proud to present the Indonesian Food Festival from 11 May to
29 May 2015 at LINK All Day Dining. The
festival will provide guests, whether they are professional gastronomes or adventurous
diners, to try out something new and exciting - a worthwhile experience not to
be missed.
LINK, a beautifully spacious All Day Dining restaurant seats 360 and
runs on the concept of interactive show kitchens where dishes are prepared as
fresh as possible to your orders. For the month of May, Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar has specially invited Sous Chef De Partie Untung Pardiona and
Demi Chef De Partie M.Ramli from their
sister property in Jakarta to immerse diners with unique culinary dishes and
transport diners to Indonesia through this exciting culinary experience.
Members
of the media and bloggers were invited to a sneak preview of the delicious
Indonesian feast to come this month. We were tempted with lots of Indonesia
classics from appetizers to mains and desserts.
Tauhu Telur, a simple and yet popular dish of
fried bean curd and egg never fails to please many palates. It is savored with
a piquant sambal and crunchy vegetables as a snack. There was the Beef Dabu Dabu Salad, a spicy beef
salad punched up with lots of spicy bird eye chilies, shallot and fresh
tomatoes in a citrusy dressing. It’s not overly heavy but sufficiently
flavourful with a good hit of heat.
One
of the highlights of Indonesia feast is the Kambing Guling. Tender and succulent lamb is nicely grilled with a
lovely note of spices.
I
highly recommend the Rendang Daging
Padang as it was a melting pot of gorgeous creamy flavours with lots of
spices. The beef was fork tender and well infused with the flavours of coconut
milk and spices. It was rich and moreish, pairing well with rice or bread.
There was also Tongseng Kambing, a
braised lamb stew that originates from Surakata in Indonesia. The stew uses
tough meat like goat, lamb or beef and is simmered till tender with lots of
vegetables, spices and herbs. This one is creamy and tasted like a light curry.
Then
there is the Ayam Penyet Plecing
Kangkung, a dish from Lombok, Indonesia, which is chicken marinated and
baked. This one is quite moreish and the chicken has a robust aroma of shrimp
paste.
The
Nasi Goreng Daun Mengkudu is
delicious. Fluffy rice grains are fried with a special leave named Daun Mengkudu.
Sayur Labu Dengan Udang is also another dish perfect with
rice. Its stewed pumpkin cooked with prawns. The flavours are more on the
sweeter note with the pumpkin and a little tangy with the tamarind.
Do
try the Soto Ayam Madura, a lovely
and aromatic noodle soup in style of Madura, an island off the north-eastern
cost of Java that is popular in Indonesia. The soup is spiced up with lots of
cinnamon, star anise and other spices and laced with lots of fried shallot for
its distinctive aroma.
Desserts
are also a must so save some room for Kolak
(or Kolek) which is a sweet broth of banana and pumpkin in sweet coconut
milk and Singkong Goreng which is
fried tapioca.
Other
delectable Kuih Muih like Klepon, Ondeh
Ondeh, Kuih Lapis Sagu, Dadar Enten and more are also available.
Of
course there are plenty more of other international dishes at all the live
interactive kitchens at LINK. The dessert bar alone is enough to keep me
happily satiated!
In addition to
presenting dozens of selected food, LINK
also displays attractive decoration and fantastic costumes that incorporate
Indonesian style to reflect the culture and gives guests the feeling of being
in Indonesia. The famous wayang shadow-puppet, stone figures and Indonesian
batik are among the decoration that will be seen at the outlet. What is also interesting
about this year’s festival is that LINK invites
Indonesia dancers to perform and introduce their traditional dance as a
momentum to reflect their country diversity of ethnicities and culture
throughout the dinner.
The whole Indonesian
food experience is offered at an attractive price of RM120.00nett per person
only (50% discount for children between 6-12 years old), commencing from 11th
