tumbled to Al Marjan
It is rare to find a relatively good Middle Eastern restaurant here in KL, let alone one that you might think it’s worth the while to put a dent in your pocket. On the first anniversary in Feb, Baby and I had a spontaneous road trip, one that the traffic jam and my blunder somehow got us to KLCC. Having promised her a meal at a restaurant that I’ve raved about for ages, I felt the occasion called for it.
Lunch at Al Marjan. As usual the staff and management were quick to greet us and introduce the specials; little did I know that they were having a lunch buffet. Somewhat confused and disappointed, the manager proposed that we tryout their buffet and offered a discount for baby having known that it her first time there. Aww… so sweet. Thumb up for em’.
Lost in the array of colourful food; Baby and I went wide eye drooling over the great spread of goodies but how can I overlook the yummy hummus that was just calling my name. Needless to say I was happily taking spoonfuls of hummus and all the other spreads of starters that resembled it from the capsicum to eggplant and salads of cucumber and tomatoes all gleaming fresh in it’s dressing.
We then moved on to to mains (not before two trip to the hummus and that capsicum hummus like thing). A healthy fair all but one thing; mutton! Al Marjan’s specialty. Unfortunately baby who does not take lamb bowed out from the dishes and how could I eat them in front of her and smell of lamb throughout the whole day. No lamb it is I guess…. well it all turn out just fine.
Like any other food adventure this was no exception. We had our eyes on the dessert the moment we step foot into the restaurant. As a sweet tooth I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to have something new. Of course like any other meal that I would have ending the day or moment with a cup of coffee is a tradition that I would not break. Al Marjan’s coffee is unique without a doubt. I’ll let the pictures do the talking
