A Beef Cheek Worth Its Salt @ The Limestone Fine Dining Restaurant

January 14, 2013 | 3,614 views

Salad Millionaire A La Limestone

Salad Millionaire A La Limestone  – Market Price
(Mix of the finest selection of fresh lettuce, perfumed with italian dressing, topped with 1/2 lobster mayonnaise, dressed with bruchetta and german caviar)

Almost a year has passed since the first review of The Limestone last January; sometime around the Chinese New Year season when we ushered in the Year of the Dragon. Now, with less than a month to go before the Snake comes a knocking (or hissing or slithering), this restaurant situated at the ground floor of Regal Lodge has completely revamped their menu for 2013.

Almost completely, I might add. They did not reinvent the wheel for this one, yet I could not helped but marveled at the sheer creativity and brilliance of Sous Chef Mahani’s creations; going beyond the realms of conventional European classics.

Seeking for a place for reunion dinner, yet not keen on clamoring for a table at the typical Chinese diner? Or weary of getting overcharged and under-delivered as “everything” costs more during CNY? Here’s an option to splurge. Read the rest of this entry »

Weekend High Tea Buffet @ Tower Regency Hotel, Ipoh

December 28, 2010 | 25,686 views

Towering Tower Regency

Tower Regency Hotel @ Ipoh – Hands down one of the best hotel Ipoh has to offer. Spanking new (couldn’t be more than two years?), well-designed, and at a prime location at that.

It’s been ages since we last dined at any restaurants in hotels of Ipoh. Last I remembered we had a very cheap buffet lunch at Syuen Hotel; for less than RM15 per person (yeah, dirt cheap right?) but of course lah … you get what you pay for. Not exactly bad, for you get the usual appetizers, soups, rice and noodles, a few meats and several vegetable dishes, as well as a DIY Ais Kacang counter and some local delights of kuih-muih.

But that was WAY back then … I think sometime beginning of last year. And not sure where I stashed those pictures, or did I even take any photos. Doubtful that they’re still running the same promotion as of now; what’s with all the increase in cost of living, inflation and the imminent preparation for something BIG come next year (you know the drill … Malaysia ma ...).

Decor Inside of Cafe@6, Tower Regency

Cafe@6 on the 6th floor (lame?) of Tower Regency Hotel – High Tea Buffet on Fridays and weekends only; for RM16/USD5.20 per person. Talk about being affordable?

And since we have run out of place for a last minute gathering, we settled for an impromptu (almost) high tea session at Tower Regency Hotel’s Cafe@6. Only on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays. Can’t say this was the BEST high tea buffet in Ipoh, since I have not tried many others save for Casuarina and Excelsior WAY back then ……. but read on to see what they offer and whether the RM16‘s worth the effort.
