Still not feeling too well so less writing and more pictures. Until I can get better, that is.
A couple of weeks ago, I attended BJ’s and EL’s surprise birthday party at Jambu Restaurant. Yes, they were definitely surprised and we all had a great time at the Restaurant. The restaurant is located in a refurbished Malay-style house on stilts. It houses a restaurant and a small lounge at the back. Theme is very retro and at the same thing, uniquely Asian. The menu that we ordered for the night was Tapas which was a beautifully selection. Note that the menu was pre-set so I may be wrong about some of the descriptions here.
Of course, what is Tapas without some olives? Here it is with some capsicum and onions. Couldn’t quite identify the sauce though.
And beautiful Chicken Pate on bread. I miss eating Pate so much. Suffice to say that Wena finish most of it off and ignore other bits.
I know there’s a name for this meal but it just slips my tongue everytime. There’s some tomatoes and capsicum in olive oil and basil herbs on top of some French loaf. Pesto? I’m not sure. Anyone?
And of course, deep fried calamari a.k.a. fried sotong/squid. Yum! The sauce was tartar sauce which I think was homemade. Very nice altogether.
Some shrimps / prawn lightly fried with some chillis and onions, I think. The sauce was a little bit sweetish, I think.
Now this is definitely very nice. Soft shell crab, deep fried style. Not sure what was the sauce made out of. Probably a bit of mayoinaise and chilli sauce? It was sweetish, that’s for sure. It’s not quite Thousand Island sauce but something else.
Nachos nachos nachose! With cheese, no less. Also served with some grilled beef and pickled chillis. Not Jalapenos but the local chillis.
I have no clue what this is. LOL!
A firm favourite with everyone : meatballs in tomato sauce.
Ohlala! And we have escargot to boot. Serve in a delicate butter sauce.
Some mussels as well. One selection had a bit of bread crumbs on it. Another one was with some butter. Yummy.
And we cannot miss the birthday cakes either. 3 different cakes for 4 birthday folks. Yes, 2 other birthday babies joined the gathering much later.
For drinks all around, we all had some delicious Sangria.
Jambu Restaurant is a nice place to hang out. Plus, it is halal. Details are below :
