– Ayam Golek Madu Lembah Pantai –

From Carving station, one can get Harrissa marinated whole Lamb, fresh mixed herb marinated whole Lamb or Arabic marinated whole lamb, also on rotational basis. During our visit, there’s also Ayam Golek Madu Lembah Pantai and grilled fish available at the grill station. Both were good especially the grilled fish, fresh and soft, flavoured up with spicy and zesty gravy.

For sauces, other than black pepper sauce, what we found interesting is the mint sauce that served together with roasted lamb. It tasted so strong and sourish when eating alone, but turned surprisingly good when paired with the meat. Must-try.

Dessert station at Cafe 5 is an eye opener, with colourful yet delectable sweet treats including chocolate brownies, fruit tarts, peanut butter mouse, raspberry mousse, mocha walnut cake, chocolate donut, jelly, nyonya kuih, kerepek ubi, tapai pulut, tapai ubi, bread butter pudding and rainbow cakes lining up.
Among all, we like bread butter pudding the most – warm, soft and moist.

If there’s still some space after all the kuih and cakes, do try out their sweet soup – bubur pulut hitam, bubur cha cha and bubur kacang merah. Else, get some tropical fruits, ice cream and ice kacang to end the meal with sweet note.
