Happy Malaysia Day 2012!

(I assume they are opened so early as they probably serve breakfast to the Hilton guests!) 
So many traditional Malaysian dishes ... there was even Lekor and Serunding!

 

I had to rub my eyes ... Sarawak Laksa!!! And it was good :-) Lemak, tasty and full of flavour.

 

There was so much on offer (Especially great value considering the accept The Entertainer vouchers - 200 AED for the two of us, including all-you-can-drink ... Wine, German bottled beer, water, soft-drinks, etc!) ... I didn't even get a chance to try every thing!

There was even kuih-muih :-) and Red-bean dessert ... Sweet-time!

Alas .. Its over now, I can't wait for 2013's installment! Well done, Hilton Abu Dhabi and Chef Ismail!

Thanks to S and IC for the lovely treat at The Address Dubai Mall, in Ember ... Christmas brunch. About 250 AED per person for the non-alcoholic package. Timsum for starters ...


Good sashimi and sushi ... and delicious ceviche (Wikipedia describes this as a seafood dish popular in the coastal regions of the Americas, especially Central and South America.
