BMS Organics SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting

I’ll be honest with you. I don’t like veggies. I detest them, in fact. I grew up in a family who doesn’t really eat veggies, unless you consider French fries and tomato ketchup are veggies, that is. But all of these changed until the day I met I met my husband, who was raised by a vegetarian mother. She happens to be quite a good cook. Since then, I started to enjoy eating vegetarian food.

I don’t always have the opportunity to enjoy my mother-in-law’s cooking, and so once awhile I will look for restaurants that serves vegetarian dishes to satisfy my cravings for some light and refreshing vegetarian meals . It’s not easy to find restaurants that serves really nice vegetarian meals, but if you are looking for recommendations, here’s one; BMS Organics.

My family and I visited BMS Organics outlet in SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting and I’m pleased to say that

BMS Organics offers nothing but organic goodness. All the food in BMS Organics not only taste fabulous but highly nourishing as well. Some of their signatures includes Lei Cha and Herby Broth Pot with Multigrain Rice.

Here’s some of the dishes that we had at BMS Organics SkyAvenue: -The Organic Harvest with Passionfruit Dressing, BMS Soymilk Curry Laksa Handmade Noodles and Herby Broth Pot with Multigrain Rice.

Herby Broth Pot with Multigrain Rice (RM33.90). Basically this is Bak Kut Teh or Meat Bone Tea; the vegetarian version. It was served with a bowl of Multigrain Rice and soya sauce dip.There’s no meat whatsoever in it, of course. Instead, there’s just tofu, mushrooms, fuchook. Initially I thought it will taste rather overwhelming on the palate, but surprisingly it doesn’t have any strange herbal taste and I actually find it pleasantly addictive.

BMS Soymilk Curry Laksa Handmade Noodles (RM28.90). Initially I wasn’t really interested to give this a try as it contains soymilk. To be honest, I’m not a fan of soymilk,  but I’m glad I did give this a try. The curry laksa tasted fabulous. Rich, creamy and flavourful.

The Organic Harvest with Passionfruit Dressing (RM22.90)

. This bowl of salad is tangy and refreshing and if I were to have it my way, I’d definitely wouldn’t stop at just one bowl.

Overall, the dining experience in BMS Organics SkyAvenue is wonderful. The food are not only nutritious and refreshing, but delicious as well. They certainly did not compromise on the taste, I must say.

Highly recommended to those who want to watch what they eat, but wants to enjoy good tasting food at the same time as well.

Hainan Steamed Chicken Rice (RM19.90). Those who knows me well will know that Hainan Chicken Rice is my all time favourite Malaysian dish. The chicken were perfectly poached while the rice was perfectly greasy and fragrant. The Hainan Steamed Chicken Rice was served with chilli sauce, minced garlic sauce, dark soya sauce and a side of beansprouts.

Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken (RM21.90) is another one of those irresistibly wholesome meal at PapaRich. The rice was richly flavoured with coconut milk while the chicken was adeptly fried. Worth your calories, I must say.

Nasi Briyani with Chicken Curry and Prawn Sambal (RM29.90)is for those who prefers strong tasting food, where both the rice and the chicken were all spiced up sufficiently. The prawn sambal was a tad spicy to my palate, but nothing I can’t take.

We had 3 Layered Tea (RM13.90) and White Coffee Ice (RM8.90) to wash everything down with. The drinks was thick and rich, just the way we like it.

Me, enjoying my food

We had Dal.komm Coffee summer offerings, Chocola’de series-Chocola’de shake, Honey Caramel Shibuya Toast and Strawberry Cruffin

Shibuya Honey Toast was satisfyingly thick. The toast was drizzled generously with whipped cream and caramel honey syrup. Those with sweet tooth will certainly appreciate this Shibuya Honey Toast.

Strawberry Cruffin was simply lovely. The cruffin was light, buttery and perfectly crusty while the sourish strawberry compote complements the cruffin and the cream topping really well.

I pretty much enjoyed my literally and figuratively sweet date with my husband during our visit and a revisit is definitely in order.

San Francisco Coffee SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting

I’m not much of a coffee lover. My blog’s name ‘Over A Cuppa Tea’ says it all. I’m positively a tea lover, but my husband is my direct opposite. He loves coffees to the moon and back, and I often found ourselves chilling over a cuppa or two in popular coffee joints around. One of his all time favourite cafe lurk is San Francisco Coffee.

San Francisco Coffee has plenty of franchises in Malaysia and recently they just opened another outlet in SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting. We didn’t let the opportunity to chill over a cuppa in the newly opened San Francisco Coffee at SkyAvenue slide, of course.

And here’s some yummies that we had in San Francisco Coffee SkyAvenue; some frappes, sandwiches and pasta.

Starbucks Reserve SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting

My family and I had an opportunity to enjoy a cuppa in Starbucks Reserve SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting recently and I must say that I’m quite inpressed with what they have to offer.

So, what’s so special, you ask? Starbucks is always Starbucks and it’s a yet another one of those grab and go coffee joint, right? Wrong. The Starbucks Reserve is more than just the usual grab and go coffee place. It is actually a place that preserve coffee culture and offers a much higher end coffee experience as Starbucks Reserve coffee beans often come from remote and rugged places, with limited harvests from lots as small as a family backyard.

The coffees in Starbucks Reserve are individually ground and brewed by the cup just for you, so if you are looking for a cup of coffee that you can customize to your liking, Starbucks Reserve is the place to go.

Each bags of coffee beans over here are extremely limited and can often last only a matter of weeks in Starbucks Reserve. And here’s Premium Nicaragua La Roca Coffee beans from Starbucks Reserve SkyAvenue.

Nicaragua La Roca Coffee from Starbucks Reserve, specially brewed for us by our Coffee Master. The Nicaragua La Roca offers medium body and acidity with flowery scent and slightly fruity taste. As this coffee leans over more to the bitter and acidic side, I believe it will pair well with sweet cookies and cakes.

I’m not an expert coffee drinker enough to recommend you any of those exclusive coffees here at Starbucks Reserve, but if you need any help in customizing a cuppa, just ask your Coffee Master for recommendations. They will be most pleased to help you out in your coffee selections.

Starbucks Reserve is located at T2B-31, Level 3, SkyAvenue, Resorts World Genting.

Located at Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur’s exclusive Level 1 Dining, Bunga Emas Restaurant is nestled alongside restaurants such as Tai Ping Chinese cuisine, L’Heritage Steakhouse and Royale Café that offers fine dining experience suitable for any occasion.

At Royale Chulan’s Bunga Emas Restaurant, each dish represents more than just a tantalizing palate pleaser it is an embodiment of authentic traditional Malay culture. Culinary creations at the Bunga Emas Restaurant are often served with a flourish in Malay Hidangan style and complemented by the melodies of live Malay traditional music. With a capacity of 100 pax, Bunga Emas offers an ideal venue for corporations and individuals looking to entertain and dine in the comfort of an exclusive Malay environment. From appetizers and mouthwatering mains, to desserts and bracing beverages, each classic and contemporary concoction is infused with time-honored Malay culinary traditions passed down from generation to generation.

Here’s sharing some of the things that they had to offer for lunch/dinner:

Chef Style Marinated on Pegaga and Ulam Raja Salad, Mango Sambal and Jamaican Plum Sauce. This is basically the Thai mango salad. But instead of having the full flavour of Thai mango salad that we are used to, this version of mango salad is a bit tone down on the taste and served with plump and juicy scallops. There are no overwhelming spiciness with a mere slight tanginess. Great for those who can’t tolerate spicy food.

Malay Style Chicken Soup-with a combination of Malay spices and minced chicken. Mildly flavoured, the soup is somewhat comforting on the tummy.

4 fine traditional Malay dishes for our gastronomic pleasure: Braised King Prawns in Cumin andCoriander Gravy, Ayam Masak Lemak Nangka, Rendang Daging and Pucuk Paku Goreng Cili.

Udang Masala/Braised King Prawns in Cumin-Coriander Gravy. Similar to the appetizer and the soup, this dish is not heavily flavoured too. Great to go on it’s own or a plate of piping hot rice.

Ayam Masak Lemak Nangka is one of my favourite dish over here. The spiciness is just right for me and I had a few helpings of this with my plate of Briyani rice.

Rendang Daging was strongly flavoured and the meat was really tender. Another one of my favourite that day.

Pucuk Paku Goreng Cili. I did not manage to have a taste of this as it was gone within minutes when it was placed on the table, so I guess this was good as well.

Nasi Briyani was served to be paired with all of the dishes served. We also had a choice of plain white rice to go with all the traditional Malay dishes.

Warm Black Glutinuos Rice with Coconut, Palm Sugar and Almond Flakes. No course meal would be complete without dessert. And here’s a sweet ending to our meal; Warm Black Glutinuos Rice with Coconut, Palm Sugar and Almond Flakes. I was abit reluctant to have a taste of this at first as I’m not a huge fan of sweet stuff, but I’m glad I gave it a try as this was not cloyingly sweet and acceptable to my palate.

Bunga Emas Restaurant promises to ensconce you in an atmosphere every bit as sumptuous as your exquisite meal. With ornate, traditional décor and a warm, soothing ambiance, your sense of aesthetics will be as satiated as your taste buds.
