Talking about the latest hotel in Johor Bahru, Capri by Fraser is something you should not miss.
With their strategic location, just a stone throw from JB CIQ and shopping malls, the hotel welcoming their guest with their great service.
It's my pleasure to have a chance to try their High Tea and BBQ Dinner last weekend with gang of blogger/media friends.

As I stepped into the hotel lobby, the luxurious, spacious design attracted my eyeballs. Took the lift, heading to the dining area in hotel, I saw this!!!

The great thing I like the most about BBQ dinner in Capri by Fraser will be cooked upon request. There are wide variety of ingredients for you to choose for the chef to grill for you. The food will serve to you warm and fresh after ready. I like this kind of service!

So while waiting for the chef to grill your food of your choice outdoor, there are some other food you can have , range from appetizer, soup, bread, main course, salad bar, fruits, dessert and drinks. You will find the food you like from the wide range of choice.

Overall, the food are great, not too oily, not salty, but tasty, with great choice of spice and ingredient used.

PS: There are not much choice for drink in buffet dinner, so far only coffee and tea. However, the coffee is great and the tea is from Harney & Sons, which is one of brand served the finest premium tea.

Recommend their High Tea set, which have 2 choices- Traditional English set and Local set. .

English High Tea Set

Local High Tea Set

What I like the most about the High Tea set in Capri by Fraser:
- Local set. This is something special, which not all place and hotel serve this. The food you can have in Local set is all the snack we can see in our local dish, with the idea of fusion with High tea layout presentation.
- Want to know more about Malaysia local food? Bring your foreigner friends to try this Local High Tea set. In a set, you can taste multiracial uniqueness food, such as Malay Kuih, Chinese dumpling and Indian Satay. I found it great to introduce the local food to foreigner
- If you prefer Western English set, Capri by Fraser have the set, with reasonable price. Personally, I like their sandwich.

The holy month of Ramadan started from this week, which many Muslims began fasting during the day.
Breaking fast with a big feast is something important for them.
Came upon with few choices of Ramadan buffet dinner in town, Brick Family Restaurant is one of it.

What is Brick Family Restaurant?
The restaurant is under the Legoland Hotel, with the highlight of Lego-deco theme buffet.
As I stepped into the restaurant, I can feel the mix feeling of coming to a Lego playground and restaurant.
With the colourful plate, Lego Characters around the restaurant, the crayon on the table, and the specially design table cloth, which you can use the crayon to draw and colour.

The International buffet serves wide variety of cuisine, both oriental and western cuisine.

It's one of the great experience you can have to have dinner, with the local or foreigner, and not worry about the choice of cuisine, as the buffet serves the need for both.

Not forget the traditional break fast dates- Kurma are available in the buffet too.

Drink Section

Not limit to indoor, there is a outdoor section for barbeque, which the chef grill and cook the food on the spot.
Besides the well known satay, sausage and chicken wing, there is roasted whole lamb too.
Personally, I like the roasted chicken a lot, with juicy and tender texture.

Grilled section

Roasted chicken

There a lots of choices for the main dish, with different way of cooking and the use of spice.

For this section, I like the stir fried chicken, which serves in a small bowl.

Besides the chicken, there are black pepper crab, sea prawn, spicy beef, rendang chicken, hyderabad lamb, salmon, etc.

If you looking for carb, there are choice of rice, bee hoon, lasagna, pasta, etc.

Stir fried chicken

The cold fresh seafood- from prawn, mussel, scallop, which can be eat with variety of flavouring.

Fresh seafood section

Salad bar

Assorted Cheese

Goreng- goreng section

Dessert section- with variety of cakes

Chocolate fountain

What I like the most :

- The playful, Lego atmosphere- This is the unique selling point, which you can't find in other Ramadan buffet. I enjoyed a lot, especially the photo taking section with the Lego deco, and the crayon provided, which you can colour the table cloth while having your meal.

- The wide variety, especially the western part - As a cheese lover, you can find not only one type, but up to 6 type of cheese- emmanthel, gouda, cheddar, boursin, port salut and camembert ( you know what are all these if you are cheese lover. )

- The seafood. There are not much Ramadan buffet, which serves the crab, and you can eat as much as you can!

- Kurma and Malay cookies and savoury - By having Ramadan buffet, not forget the dates and sweet Malay dessert. The dessert section for this Ramadan buffet, not just having the commom cakes,puff, pudding, ice cream, but include this Malay sweet savoury, which you can feel the festival mood.

Well, I visited Trove Hotel again after my 1st visit. You may refer my last month post about Halba buffet in Trove.
https://mush4crazy.blogspot.com/2018/10/halba-buffet-lada-trove-hotel-johor.html

This November I visited again as Trove Hotel come out with new theme of buffet high tea- Japanese Feast!!
First came to my mind, Hurray, unlimited sushi!!
From various maki & nigiri with different ingredients, such as Tamago ( egg) , California, Kani (crab stick), Kappa (cucumber), Ebi (shrimp), Tempura, Avocado, Ebiko(shrimp flakes), and Inari ( Rice in Tofu).
All the maki and nigiri are with cooked topping ingredient. There is no raw ingredient.

My favourite Edamame as appetiser to kick start of my Japanese feast ~~~

There are variety of vegetable tempura, which deep fried and coated with thin batter. If you are vegetarian or vegetable lover, don't miss this section, with brinjal, pumpkin,oyster mushroom, green capsicum and carrot, turn into the tempura.

Tips of eating Japanese buffet:

Try to have a bowl of Miso soup, before eating the food. It's great to warm your stomach, before starting a heavy meal.

Try to have tempura first before the maki and nigiri. Maki and Nigiri have a lot of rice, which may make you feel full easily. Try to have edamame, salad and tempura, then only the maki and nigiri.

You will enjoy more about the buffet if you eat in the right sequence.

For main dish, there are still have some common local food, with fusion of Japanese delight.
For noodles, the chef uses the udon instead of normal noodle, and stir-fried in a local way.

Not forget about the tofu, which is a very common in Japanese food. The chef serves the tofu with dashi stock, ginger, shredded seaweed and daikon radish. Tofu is soft, with slightly crispy fried layer.

Compound Salad

Again, remember to keep some space for dessert. Besides the common cakes and fruit as we see in every buffet, I found some special dessert, which you may interested to have a look.
This white chocolate with dried fruit attracted my eyeballs when I go around the dessert section.

Variety topping of doughnut, which enlighten your day~~~

Doughnut

Dorayaki-- One of famous Japanese street food, which two pancakes sandwiching sweet ‘anko’ (sweet bean paste).

Dorayaki

Drink of the month. Try this refreshing hazelnut drink, to relieve the thirst after eating. It's slightly sweet when mix with the chocolate syrup.

Hazelnut chocolate milk

What kind of table you would prefer in your home?? I guess most Chinese will tell you they prefer round table.

A round table allows people to eat facing each other. It also means that when seated at a round table every one is equal.Round table is a symbol of reunion.
Most of the Chinese Family will choose Chinese cuisine for reunion lunch or dinner, the price for most Chinese cuisine in Johor Bahru will be nearly RM 1000 per table.

Qing Palace Restaurant, which located inside Pulai Spring Resort, Pulai area, about 35 minutes drive from Johor Bahru town area, offers a limited time promotion of Eat All You Can for up to 80 different Chinese Cuisines, from soup, vegetable, chicken, duck, prawn, fish, seafood, beancurd and desserts. With one price, you can eat as much as you can.

One of the dish which make me amaze is the Australian fresh asparagus with garlic. This is not a common vegetable to be served in Chinese restaurant. The taste is very natural , without much seasoning, only fry with the garlic. The spear is fresh, which give a deliciously crunchy texture. One of my favourite among the vegetable choice in menu.

Australian Fresh Asparagus with Garlic

One of the common way of Chinese cooking, using the claypot, which preserve the warmness of food for longer time.

Braised Bean Curd with Seafood

Another pick among the menu will be Peking duck. The texture of duck is soft and tender, marinated with savory sauce, which make skin of duck very tasty.

Peking Duck

Another type of serving of duck, which can be eat with the bun.

Camphor and Tea Smoked Duck

There are variety of soup for choice. If you like something hot, soup, a little spicy, you can pick this Szechuan Hot & Sour Soup. A mixture of different ingredients including the mushroom, tofu,egg and etc.... , which can be found in this soup. A good start of the meal, which warm your stomach before you eat the others food.

Szechuan Hot & Sour Soup

A complete Chinese dinner must have a fish, which to symbolize the wish for more in the sense of good luck and good fortune. There are 3 choice of fish- Red snapper, Seabass and red pearl, with up to 7 methods of preparation. I tried the steamed with Asam sauce. The asam sauce is rich, well match with the fresh seabass.

Seabass Steamed in Asam Sauce

There are variety of seafoods for choice, such as prawn, cuttlefish and eel. Too bad there is no crab in this promo ( Well , the price will not be RM 65 if got crab , haha~~ )

Fried Prawn with Oatmeal

Deep Fried Chicken with Coffee sauce

Keep some space for the dessert, before the end of meal. I like their Oni, which is not sweet, thick and sticky.

Honey dew with sago

Oni ( Yam pudding)

Thinking about the buffet in Johor Bahru, almost all hotel served it, with different variety and theme.

The buffet is not just all-you-can-eat, eating buffet in the same time let us spend time to appreciate the wide variety of food, and also a platform of reunion.

Trove Hotel , which is centrally located in Johor Bahru, offers a competitive RM 68nett for their Halba Buffet.

Halba , a type of spice and herb, which used it in most of the dishes served in buffet, and become the the theme of buffet. This spice also enhance the fragrance and taste of the food.

The man behind this Halba buffet is the hotel's very own Executive Sous Chef, Fadzren Oyob and his team of talented chef.

Appetizer

The nutritious and healthy sandwich with different ingredients is also one of the highlight in buffet.

Sandwich

Cheese and smoked meat

One of the thing I find it interesting about the Halba, which is the great taste of Nasi Lemak Pak Malim. The rice is cooked just nice, with infused not only the coconut milk and pandan leaves, but also the Halba spice.

Besides the nasi lemak, there are many other choice for main course, such as yong chow fried rice, Hainanese chicken rice, fried mee hoon with dried shrimp, fish head curry and etc...

The buffet also gives the tourist and hotel guests to experience a potpourri of Malaysian flovours and cultures while visiting Malaysia. It's really amazing that Roti John, Murtabak and Johor Laksa which is more well known to be the street food in Johor Bahru, can be served in the hotel as buffet .

Roti John

Another highlight of the buffet will be this eye-catching chicken skewers ( Ayam percik ). Personally I like this chicken skewer a lot, soft and tasty.

Ayam percik

Cheese Murtabak

Johor Laksa

For dessert, I just can't stop myself to take almost all with one portion. Most of it served in a small little plate or cup. From cakes, brownies, puff, pudding, mousse, fruit trifle, eclair, jelly, and some Malay Kuihs such as Fried Banana, etc.
I likes this Brownies, good texture with mild sweetness.
