Bumbu Bali @ Bandar Puteri Puchong

Yeah I am in Seri Kembangan already! And today was my first day at my new company. It didn’t go as well as I expected and the worst is, so many websites are blocked! They include all the web mails, some blogs and even image hosting sites! So, although I can access my blog, I couldn’t access my images. Anyway I went to Bumbu Bali in Bandar Puteri Puchong for lunch the day after I drove down from Penang. I have been yearning to return to this fantastic fusion concept restaurant ever since I left 2 years ago. I already knew Bumbu Bali’s awesomeness waaay before people started blogging about it!

Nasi Campur Bumbu Bali is a definitely must try. Look at the photo, do I need to say more?

This kick ass dish consists of white rice, chicken (or beef) rendang, squid, two big slices of fried fish, two huge fresh prawns, a lemongrass satay, sauteed kangkung, crackers, fruits and their very own sambal. The photos are available in bigger resolutions for your drooling pleasure so please click on them to view on my Flickr.

It’s pleasant to know that even after so long, the food’s quality remained top notch as ever. Most of the food prices remained the same too, except for a few which increased by a ringgit or so. The most special one in this Nasi Campur would be the lemongrass satay. Minced meat is wrapped around a stalk of lemongrass then barbecued like satay. You can taste the lemongrass’ fragrance in the meat, which is absolutely wonderful.

The only drawback of this dish is the expensive price @ RM31, it is certainly not something to have everyday, unless you’re super rich lol. But trust me it’s well worth it. And because of its huge serving size it is enough for two. Just order an extra bowl of white rice and share it.

Siap Megoreng means Fried Chicken in Balinese language. It is simpler compared to nasi campur but still delicious. Yellow rice served with half a fried chicken, sauteed kangkung and cracker. The best part is of course none other than the fried chicken skin, where all the spices are concentrated at.

Siap Megoreng is slightly cheaper @ RM21. Actually, for this price I’d recommend trying out the Western food instead, Bumbu Bali have an extensive menu for that.

If you haven’t heard or tasted barley lime before, you must try it! It is the nicest lime drink ever, especially in a hot day. Barley lime is also the favorite house drink in Bumbu Bali, which is RM4.50 a cup.

And a few snapshots of the restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxing and with the Balinese music being played, it almost feels like having a vacation in Bali.

Bumbu Bali is located at
18 & 18-1, Jln Persiaran Puteri 1,
Bandar Puteri, 47100 Puchong.

Sake Room Fusion Cuisine

Sake Room Fusion Cuisine @ Seberang Jaya

Sake Room is a fusion restaurant in Seberang Jaya recommended by Mabel Lai for good sushi. As always I would try out my readers’ recommendations whenever possible and blog about it. If you didn’t know, fusion cuisine is a combination of different forms of cookery or traditions. It can be of a combination of Chinese and Japanese cuisine or Western and Vietnamese cuisine. The possible combinations are totally up to the chef’s creativity and culinary skill.

So, there’s more than just Japanese food being offered in Sake Room. But who would pay RM16 to try a plate of Chinese fried rice right? That’s pretty crazy lol. Ordering a Japanese set lunch would be more worth it. Each set lunch comes with a main course, green tea and miso soup. Salmon Donburi @ RM15 has a generous slice of fried salmon with teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds served on rice.

Salmon lovers should not miss this because this dish is really good. Sweeter tasting sushi rice is used instead of white rice, which also contributed to the tastiness.

Sushi Bento @ RM16.90 has a variety of sushi served with stir fried vegetables, fresh salad and Gari (Japanese pickled gingers)

For sushi there’s Ebi (shrimp), Ika (squid), Salmon and some Ebi Fry Maki (those white ones) Honestly I never liked Japanese pickled gingers, they taste weird to me. Anyone shares the same opinion with me?

Miso soup, it is definitely starting to grow on me. The more I have it, the more I like it.

Sake Room is a nice alternative for the usual Sakae Sushi or Sushi King. Moreover the price is quite reasonable for a Japanese set meal. And it is located just next to Sunway Carnival Mall, can try it after shopping, recommended.
