I posted this photo like weeks ago on my Instagram.If you've followed me, you would have seen this. Bukit Lanjan sounds like a far far place from my area but no, it is located just right beside Taman Tun Dr Ismail! I didn't expect this kind of fancy restaurant to be located at here. It has nice environment, quiet, peaceful place.Very suitable for Girls' night out or on a date.It serves a variety of food, like Western and Eastern cuisine. I was totally attracted to this scenery.A must for everyb

This place is beautiful. A secluded, Balinese resort-style environment _ only a few minutes' drive from Mutiara Damansara _ with genuinely friendly staff. There's only one problem: pesky mosquitoes that come out before dusk. There's a mishmash of Western and Eastern cuisine available, but we focused on the Indonesian offerings that evening.The Javanese-style popiah stuffed with veggies, crabmeat and shrimp wasn't spectacular, but it was still very nicely done. Crispy without any excess oil. Ibu

For mains, I tried the Nasi Goreng with Chicken Satay. The presentation was really faultless. The fried rice came in a platter with one prawn, a fried egg, grilled chicken satay (2 sticks) with peanut sauce, and a pickled fruit they told me was longan. The rice were fried without being too oily and tasted full of spices. The satay were grilled nicely with the meat still juicy and moist. It tasted of the smoky grilling flavour but did not overpower the meat which has a mildly sweet taste.

When you step into the restaurant compound, you are immediately transported into a tranquil setting with a balinese feel. I love their decor and was really excited to try their food. To start off, I ordered the Raspberry Bandung with Roses Flavour drink. Usually I am not keen for iced drinks but this time I am glad I tried it. The bandung syrup has a sweetness that was not overpowering like some bandung mixes. I think they struck a balance with the milk and syrup. It has a nice aroma from

I decided to go for Rendang Serai Daging Tulang Rawan (RM 35) - home-styled beef ribs stew served with steamed with rice and sauteed vegetables. The vegetables, though not a big portion, were very tasty, thanks to a good mix of butter and garlic. I enjoy broccoli, but I really loved this! Sadly, I couldn't say the same for the rendang. Although the flavour was indeed excellent, it was all for naught no thanks to the meat that was tougher than rock! Seriously it was near impossible to slice throu

Wendy went for Ala Subak Nasi Goreng with Chicken Satay (RM 25). There were 2 sticks of satay which were grilled very well. A shame there wasn't more to for us to savor. The rice was also fried well and had plenty of flavour, but it ranks quite high on my spicy scale. Eating the slightly runny fried egg with the rice resulted in yummy tastes! An interesting addition was cooked pickled longan as a condiment, something not always seen.

Subak's food is meant to be Indonesian-inspired, but there are also western and local dishes on offer. The discount voucher we bought entitled us to a "tantalising Seafood Platter of Fish Fillet, Black Mussels & White Prawns served with poached eggs, sweet mashed potatoes and garden vegetables with cream dill sauce"And we both hoped for Subak's sake it wasn't on the menu, because if we were made to pay anywhere close to RM85++ for what you see in the picture above, they would definitely have tak
