“SPRING ADDS NEW LIFE & NEW JOY TO ALL THAT IS.”

Come one, come all for Providence Peak’s Annual Spring Eggstravaganza! There is a mountain of daily activities offered alongside a truly fanstastical downtown festival that will line the streets with vendors selling local and holiday wares, shops decorated to the max with fresh spring blooms for you to enjoy, crafts and activities for the little ones to enjoy, and legend has it Farmer Frederick will be returning with his family-friendly petting zoo, introducing the most recent additions to his farm. As the winter snow finally melts away from the city, allow yourself to relax and welcome spring and all it has to offer.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

All Week (March 27th - April 3rd) - The downtown Eggstravaganza will begin on Saturday and run all week long. This portion of the event fills the downtown area of Providence Peak with vendors selling local goods and foods, stalls offering free merch, activities for the children, and even a petting zoo! You can find the full list of vendors HERE.

Saturday (March 27th) - Prepare yourself for The Jagged Yard’s monthly Coyote Ugly Night! While it’s not officially part of the city’s spring festival, it might as well be, and since the night coincides with the beginning of the spring season in Providence Peak, the bar is doing it up big and offering a special spring-themed cocktail called Spring Fling, with more liquor than you can actually name for half-price! And if you can name every ingredient used in it, your bill will be comped on the house!

Sunday (March 28th) - While you’re sleeping off that inevitable weekend hangover, mosey on over to Farm to Fork where they’ll be offering a farm-fresh brunch buffet and lavender and pear bottomless mimosa options.

Monday (March 29th) - Hopefully you’re not too tired from the busy weekend, because as the festival carries on downtown, Take It Outdoors is hosting a boat and kayak race across Summit Lake. Feel free to bring your own equipment or they’ll have more than enough for participants to rent during the event. And what’s the prize for crawling out of bed and standing outside under the sun all day only to row across the largest lake in Providence Peak? Well, a brand new tandem kayak, complete with paddles and life vests, of course!

Tuesday (March 30th) - Feeling like you need a break yet? Well, if you don’t have kids or canines, now is the perfect time to do it. Sleep in and enjoy the downtown vendors while parents of gremlins and furry friends alike enjoy a dog egg hunt at The Open Range sponsored by Good Pets.

Following the dog egg hunt will be the children’s egg hunt, sponsored by The Sweet Spot, and will shower the kids of Providence with tons of sweets and trinkets that will surely keep them running around for the rest of the evening.

Wednesday (March 31st) - If you’re feeling like your life needs an impulsive decision, A Touch of Ink will be offering a $50 flash sheet of easter and spring themed tattoos. Want to add a flower to the canvas that is your body? How about a bunny? Maybe a traditional butterfly on your hip will do the trick? Regardless of what you choose, make sure to be there early! This event is walk-ins only and the lines can get long, so who knows who you’ll be stuck standing there with?

Thursday (April 1st) - Don’t worry, this is no April Fool’s, it’s the day most adults wait all year for: the annual Providence Peak adult egg hunt, because why should the kids be the only ones to have fun? Throughout the day, adults will be able to search for eggs throughout the shops around town for special sales, gift cards, and the grand prizes from each location. Remember, only one egg is allowed per adult per shop and don’t forget to register with Mayor Harris at town hall’s downtown festival tent!

Friday (April 2nd) - As the spring welcome party begins to wind down, take the day to enjoy the 2018 film Peter Rabbit, presented by the local cinema. Enjoy free admittance to the movie with the donation of one nonperishable item per person to benefit the Providence Peak Community Center and Food Bank.

Saturday (April 3rd) - After the downtown festival wraps up at noon, join the city at Frederick’s Farm in Bighorn Hills where everyone will be treated to fresh popped popcorn, apricots picked that day, and lemonade while waiting for their turn to fly in one of dozen hot air balloons sponsored by the Providence Peak PTA.

I’ve been reluctant to post because, well, I relapsed. 

In the grand scheme of things, I know it wasn’t a bad relapse. I didn’t get drunk. I didn't drink more than I planned. I’ve still kept some boundaries in place. I’ve been really struggling to balance not beating myself up to where I don’t see the point in working towards total sobriety again but also not trying to give myself a free pass by making excuses for why it’s okay and why it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. 

Because it’s daunting to think about building up to another 18 months of sobriety.

The first time I drank it was on vacation. We were out to dinner and I allowed myself one and a half drinks and then I had another single drink the following day while out at a Father’s Day buffet. The next weekend followed a similar pattern - one a half drinks on a Saturday night out and then one drink at brunch on Sunday.

I’m working really hard to have this be my first fully sober weekend. For starters,  I feel like it’s going to escalate if I don’t. Especially because I have determined to set the boundary around drinking while out because it’s so expensive. That’s at least something that I can hold onto as a reason not to drink because I need money. I’m also determined not to break the other boundary that I’ve set, which is no alcohol within the house. So that basically means no alcohol, as long as I can stick to my plan and maintain those boundaries.

I don’t know. I’m not devastated but I am disappointed, mostly because of the second weekend. I felt that I could handle the first weekend because it was on vacation but drinking after coming home showed me that I was really losing control.

So now I’m needing to get back on the path of complete sobriety. I know I can. It also doesn’t help that I’m out of therapy, although my therapist really hadn’t helped me with this. I saw them for six months before I got sober and had some of my worst episodes while meeting with them. It was only when things reached basically rock bottom that I made the decision to get sober on my own.

They’re not at rock bottom now and I’m grateful for that. Now I just need to make sure it stays that way.

#throwback to this brilliant brunch we had in Goa 🤤😭 . . . Oh my god. Where do I even begin. This plate isn't even a quarter of the entire spread on offer (that's without the desserts by the way; those warrant another post). A lazy Sunday afternoon spent with one's nearest and dearest, with a spread which spans the length and breadth of the country, and the beauty of Goa as the setting; what more can one ask for? . . . I'm not one who really enjoys brunch buffets, but this was an exception. There was a time when buffet spreads were the norm for me; believe me, I'd extract a bang for a buck from each meal! Yet, with time, it has dawned on me (thankfully) that moderation is key. The point of a buffet of choices does not mean you have to consume the maximum quantity humanly possible; on the contrary, it's an opportunity to pique your palate to the different tastes on offer. You don't have to take all the choices; you can try everything, and choose the one you want. I guess this is something we can apply in our daily lives as well, don't you think? . . . It's been raining heavily in Bombay, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm not destined to see summer in 2019 😭 Anyways, I hope you're having a terrific Tuesday! Make the most of your time; don't have to extract every iota out of every moment, but do make sure you try everything. Have a great day ❤️ #thinkingoutloud #writing #blogger #blog #writersofinstagram #writer #brunch #sundaybrunch #goa #chill #tryeverything #piqueyourpalate #vacationvibes #live #love #life #eat #delicious #delectable #mezze #hummus #university #unilife #warwick #universityofwarwick #reflection #pictures #pictureperfect #think  (at ITC Grand Goa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0izpRBlNvV/?igshid=141qky3f6uyhv

Las Vegas - Stop #13 (2/17/29)

MGM Grand Casino

Suitcase in tow, I shuffled into the MGM Casino.

My last ounce of adrenaline wore off on the taxi ride and the pain REALLY set in. I was struggling to keep my eyes open, I felt feverous and I felt like I was walking on hot coals.

I unfortunately did not have it in me to go to Zak Bagan's Paranormal Museum but I still managed to gamble for the first time ever.

I gambled about 20 bucks...mostly at slot machines since I don't know the rules and didn't really have the brain capacity to do more than pull a lever sooo

Didn't break even with my winnings but oh well. I enjoyed people watching more than actually gambling at all the casinos I visited.

After cashing in my winnings, I made the slow march to the MGM buffet for their gourmet Sunday brunch 😍

Casa Buenas Launches Sunday Brunch Buffet at Newport World Resorts

Newport World Resorts is making our Sundays much more exciting with the launch of its new Sunday Brunch Buffet at Casa Buenas. Get ready to enjoy a wide selection of premium seafood, meat, cheese, and more together with bottomless champagne, signature cocktails, and delightful desserts that will truly be the new talk of the town.

The Hungry Kat was invited last week to this new luxury buffet. You can find Casa Buenas at the ground floor of Hotel Okura inside the new Grand Wing of Newport World Resorts. We have dined here at Casa Buenas before but this is the first time that they are offering a Sunday brunch buffet.

Casa Buenas is a signature restaurant of Newport World Resorts specializing in Filipino and Spanish cuisine. Its interiors are reminiscent of a classic Filipino ancestral home. The design highlights the Bahay na Bato intricacies with elements inspired from the rich indigenous materials from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

There's live musical performances on Sundays to add to the overall charm and elegance of the restaurant.

My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary that weekend so it was the best time for us to visit Casa Buenas and to try their new bubbly brunch.

The Sunday Brunch Buffet is available every Sunday from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM for P4500+ per person. This comes with unlimited non-alcoholic beverages including signature mocktails, sodas, fresh juices, shakes, coffee, and Dilmah tea.

You can also choose to upgrade your beverage option to include unlimited alcoholic beverages as well, including this lovely Duval-Leroy Brut Champagne. For P5,500+ per person, this is such good value for money because you can have as many glasses of champagne as you want.

Guests can also order their signature cocktails like the Mimosa, Ron De Coco, Hermosa Casa, and Crafted Sangria. Other alcoholic beverages to choose from include red wine, white wine, sparkling wine, local beers and other selected liquors.

Let's start our culinary adventure at the Charcuterie Station where an assortment of cured meats and artisan cheese are displayed.

Here you can find meats such as Farmers Ham, Copper, Jason Prosciutto, and Pork Salami together with Manchego, Fontina, Goat Cheese, Asiago, Baked Camembert, and Roquefort cheese. There are so many choices to taste and try.

A selection of tapas are also available here such as the Citrus Cured Salmon Tostada. Other small tapas include Tuna Tartare Kilawin, Barquillos Picante, Grilled Pork and Tuna Ceviche Singular, and Okay de Pulpo.

Right nearby is the Fresh Salad Station where you can prepare your own bowl of Caesar Salad. Other healthy salads you can get are the Mixed Greens and Vegetable Salad, Grilled Marinated Salad, Goat Cheese Salad, and the Pulpo and Chickpea Salad.

There's also some Cured and Smoked Salmon on the table with sweet potato blinis, creme fraiche, dill cream sauce, and capers cocktail onion.

The most popular area at the Casa Buenas Sunday Brunch Buffet would be here at the Seafood on Ice. You can grab some prawns and mussels together with their sauces.

It's not every day that you find lobsters on the buffet but Casa Buenas offers unlimited servings of these Boston Lobsters served with Lobster Cocktail Sauce. Aside from that, you can also get a few pieces of Crab Claws for cracking.

We love eating oysters so we also got a few pieces of their Sustainable International Oysters which are freshly shucked and served on the half shell.

If you prefer your seafood cooked or baked, take a look at the next table. Casa Buenas offers Baked Oyster Rockefeller using Korean oysters with butter, parsley, herbs and bread crumbs.

These Crispy Fried Prawns are also quite yummy especially since they are glazed with honey and garlic.

My absolute favorite item at the Sunday Brunch Buffet was the Lobster Thermidor. These creamy lobsters are baked with mushroom and capsicum then gratinated with cheese.

These gorgeous lobsters have a tendency to run out quickly, but you can ask the servers directly and they will gladly serve it at your table when the next batch is ready. That's also one thing I loved about our Sunday brunch at Casa Buenas. The service was really excellent and all our requests and refills were done promptly.

That's not all, because over at the carving stations, you can find the Cochinillo waiting for you. This whole charcoal grilled suckling pig is always a luxurious treat with its very crispy skin and tender meat.

The main centerpiece at the carving station is this gigantic Lechon Baka. This is a USDA steamship beef cooked lechon style. Ask the chefs for a slice or two to add to your plate.

If all those weren't enough, Casa Buenas Sunday Brunch Buffet also offers some A La Carte Hot Dishes which will be cooked to order. They have some brunch items like the Sweet Savory Waffle and Eggs, Truffle Scrambled Eggs, Chorizo Omelet, and Eggs Benedict. They also have Main Dishes like the Steak and Eggs which is what I ordered. This comes with a juicy grilled beef tenderloin served with mixed mushrooms, fried egg, and garlic rice. Other hot dishes include the Beef Striploin "Bistek", Pork Embutido Silog, Salmon Nasal Silog, and the Tofu Mushroom Sisig. Pasta is also available for a la carte orders like the Spaghetti with Angus beef chuck roll bolognaise or the Gnocchi with blue cheese sauce and candied pecan nuts.

For dessert, there are several Filipino-Spanish items to tickle your sweet tooth. You can try the Brazo de Mercedes, Ginataang Halo-halo, Tres Leches, Quesada Pasiega, Spanish Apple Tart, or have some Seasonal Sliced Fruits.

Just next door is the Live Hot Dessert Station where you can find the Crepe Samurai, Brownie Fudge, Cafe Barako Soufflé, Soft Centered Chocolate Table, Creme Brûlée, Crema Catalana, Egg Pie, and Banofee. These will be heated in their transparent portable pressure cooker so you can see how it turns into its final shape.

We also really loved the Teppanyaki Ice Cream Live Station. Here you can choose from a selection of premium spirits to mix with your ice cream which will be prepared on the spot. We got two servings, one with Dalmore 12 Years and the other with Bailey's and they were both fantastic. Of course, you can choose to have plain vanilla ice cream and just top it with chocolate, fruits, and other items.

The Casa Buenas Sunday Brunch Buffet is a fantastic addition to the many hotel buffet offerings you can find at Newport World Resorts. This is one of the most luxurious buffets in the country today with its exceptional lineup of lobsters and champagne, so I'm really happy we got to spend a romantic anniversary brunch at a place that holds a lot of exciting memories for us.

I'm going to save you all the trouble I went through and compile all the spots I found through obscure Google searches and message boards and put these locations in one place. Welcome to your one stop shop for unique wedding locations all over Maryland. For your convince I've put them into genre such as "Castle Theme", "Relaxed Theme", etc. so if you're really in a knot, you don't have to spend your whole day looking when you could be finding the perfect pair of shoes to go with your dress. Here we go:

Castles:

Cloisters Castle: This private home that was commissioned and completed in a twenty seven year span screams with uniqueness. From the exterior built of Butler gold and gray stone, gables taken from a medieval house in France as well as medallions from a 16th century Venetian home, it's a work of architectural brilliance. Located in Luthersville, MD this venue is surrounded by sixty acres of trees and a lovely garden. Its insides are furnished with authentic medieval pieces and antique furniture. The fireplace was even commissioned to be built from an antique chest carved with Renaissance figures. Famously, it was the site of actor Will Smith's and Jada Pinkett's wedding in 1998 but that hasn't put a damper on the delightful and unforgettable atmosphere the house creates. Either the outside or the inside can be made available and there is only one event per day, allowing your day to be uninterrupted in its magic. The fee for rental allows for up to ten hours on the grounds and more time can negotiated through the contract via an extra hour's fee. The venue comfortably fits 175 guests and as a bonus the staff acts as your wedding planner directing set-up, timing, and valet parking.

Maryvale Castle : Functioning as a preparatory school, Maryvale Castle boasts huge grounds complete with wedding chapel if the bride doesn't envision herself walking down the castle's much talked of grand winding staircase. Built in 1917 in Greenspring Valley, MD, this treasure houses an oak-paneled Great Hall, a solarium, and a bridal suite. A stone manor house sweeping off in both directions takes its influences from Warwick Castle in England with its Gothic arched windows, port cochere, and imposing gray towers. A rental agreement includes four hours of time which includes the rehearsal time and full use of the property. However, because it is still a working school, hours on the weekdays are more restricted than weekends. With an indoor guest capacity of 125 people and an outdoor capacity of 200, this venue is worth the strict appointment-only tour.

Mansions:

Montpelier Mansion: A mansion straight out of a Jane Austin piece, this brick Georgian structure sits on seventy acres of land flanked by dogwood trees. Built between 1781 and 1785 this national historic landmark is open to the public for tours and festivities and once housed George Washington and his wife Martha. It is also home to an uncommonly found 18th century summer house which is beautifully preserved. The maximum capacity inside and outside is somewhat small, eighty-five guests total, but the unique floor plan with crown molding and period furniture lends itself to an opulent and old-fashioned charm all its own. For people set on a Sunday wedding this venue isn't for you as they don't allow rentals on Sundays, however, having free reign over this delicate place is well worth the date change. Located in Laurell this mansion radiates country elegance akin to many a bride's favorite novel, complete with circular stone driveway.

Glenveiw Mansion: Situated in Rockville, MD as part of a Rockville Civic Center Park the house is within the neoclassical tradition sporting pillars and an infinite number of beautiful black shuttered windows looking out over the lawn. The dining room is veiled in class and luxury as are its floor-to-ceiling dark paneled wooden walls and long oval windows. The conservatory shines with old-fashioned chandeliers whose light bounces off the Italian green marble floors. The rest of the house is touched with intricate details pertaining to the period in which it was first built housing a number of turn of the century, one- of- a- kind antiques sure to make any wedding memorable. Maximum capacity for this venue is 225 guests and amount charged allows for two hours of set-up and one hour of clean-up. Some strict drawbacks to possible brides are the impossibilities of seated dining, no cooking allowed on-site, and no red-dyed beverages of any kind.

Stronghold Mansion: On top of Sugarloaf Mountain in Dickerson, MD the completely white mansion with pillars and latticed widow's peak lends itself to the country simplicity surrounding it. The straight lawns emphasize the well designed rock walls that glide around the property housing a variety of elegant but simple flora and fauna normally seen in a country garden. The shimmering, circular lake to the side of the house has large willow trees surrounding it and making a path towards the house itself where the architecture inside matches the outside in its refined gentile decor. A standard contract allows for 7 hours and includes set-up and clean-up times. . Additional hours can be negotiated. Maximum number of guests in attendance is 200 and the rental includes 40 by 57 inch tent over the patio and can be added on to encompass the lake area as well. Parking is limited as there are only 85 spots available and clearly marked by the owners , small shuttle buses are permitted.

Liriodendron Mansion: An 1898 ornate masterpiece encompassed by a landscape dripping with flowers, this antique summer home in Harford County leaves nothing unchecked in your imagination. Whether it's the Grecian old-world architecture built around intricate carvings, urns of flowers and stone pillars, or the wisteria vines that form a canopy over the porch for a otherworldly rehearsal dinner, the house is awash in magic all its own. The Palladian styled mansion reminds guests of a fairyland surrounded by woods and fountains with a variety of romantic stone sculptures throughout the grounds. Maximum capacity is 150 guests outside, 100 guests inside with seating and there are plenty of guests parking. The renter has a choice of 6.5 hrs on weekdays where as on weekends they must choose between both rental times and party times in a wide selection of choices. Wedding rehearsals are extra payment as well as table and chair rental fees, but this is no different from most other venues.

Tudor Place: This home to Martha Washington's late granddaughter, Martha Custic Peter, is bursting at the seams with rich history and warm, comfortable elegance. The house itself was built in 1805 by Dr. William Thorton who was also famous for building the first United States Capital and The Octagon building in Washington, DC. Inside the house there are over one hundred objects belonging to George and Martha Washington and it's all been documented in an archived collection of letters, diaries, books, and photographs. As far as guests, the mansion can hold up to 35 guests for a wedding ceremony and for parties over 35 guests they must pay extra. This venue is for ceremonies only and the reservation includes an hour block of time for that ceremony. They also have their own on sight photography for a fee.

Ceresville Mansion: With a variety of ceremony options to suit any bride as well as an in-house consultant to coordinate everything smoothly, this Mansion comes with superior services. Whether the perfect wedding uses their white Grecian Pergola surrounded by dogwoods in bloom, or the terrace climbing with Ivy and backlit with candles shimmering over the reflecting lily pool, it will be something to remember. The white and black sweeping Cape Cod style home was built in 1888 alongside rivers, hillsides, and a ten acre meadow also open for events. Much of the original architecture as well as the antique furniture and fireplace are still the same as 1888. This venue has everything covered in the rental fee from seven hours of event coordination to all the outside details a catering company would normally provide like linens and a dance floor. Every Thursday evening they also offer an unusual wedding discount for those on a budget and cut the price nearly in half for the same services as a Friday or Saturday wedding event. The venue can provide for up to 200 guests and also gives a complimentary list of Food and Beverage minimum pricing so it is free of confusion and out of the way.

Inns and Taverns:  Flower Wall Rental Los Angeles

Slades Inn and Tavern: A Victorian dream painted in lively light blues and dark blues, this Inn sets itself apart with two matching circular turrets, high brick chimneys and a white wrap-around porch that Anne of Green Gables would envy. The laid-back romantic space is in Fredrick, MD a few minutes away from Baltimore. The land is dappled with greenery and horses while the exciting night-life and history of the city are in close proximity. Enjoy an easy day as all the guests are accommodated with places to stay after the reception and perhaps even stay past the ceremony for a honeymoon to enjoy hot air ballooning or a carriage tour. From beginning to end of that extraordinary day, Slade's takes care of everything from "his and hers" massages, bridal party hair and makeup sessions, as well as brunches and teas. Indoor buffet seating is for 100 guests whereas larger parties can be accommodated with tents for seated dinners and dancing for up to 150. Once the party is over, guests too busy having fun can tumble up to their rooms leaving the bride and groom clear and free of worry.

According to reports, John's jet was flying over southern Ireland at 10,000 feet, en route to New York from the U.K. for a show at Madison Square Garden, when it was forced to land. According to The Sun, the plane took off around 10 am U.K. time on Tuesday, February 22, but experienced a hydraulic failure just an hour after it took off and was forced to turn back and land at Farnborough Airport in Hampshire. "The terrible weather and epic gusts made it almost impossible to land. Two attempts to touch down failed," an eye witness told The Sun. "The plane was being buffeted and couldn't make it. The aircraft's nose was far too vertical. The plane was descending and was halfway along the runway when it gave up trying to hit the tarmac. It soared back in the air."

Walking into the Mandarin Palace restaurant at The Federal Hotel is in itself an experience. I am not surprised to discover that it was once voted as one of Malaysia’s Most Beautiful Restaurants by Flavours Magazine (May-June 2007 issue). And even more impressive, the Mandarin Palace was the recipient of Malaysia Tatler’s Award for Malaysia Best Restaurant in 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005! Now, that is some record to beat.

I was there recently on an invitation to dine on their latest offering, the weekend dim sum brunch. Dim sum and I are truly best of friends! I adore those little edible bits of goodness and happiness especially on a lazy Saturday or relaxing Sunday. At the Mandarin Palace, these delicious delicacies take an almost creative art form as each is delicately prepared by the in-house chefs using only the freshest of ingredients.

After surveying what was on offer, my first task was to quickly grab a few of the dim sum steaming away in several bamboo steamers. My favourites include the siew mai dumpling, of course, together with teow chew, shark’s fin and mushroom. Some prefer to dip their dim sum in the accompanying sweet and sour sauce. I prefer to savour each bite without any other condiment. I strongly believe that the best way to judge their freshness and taste is to devour them just as they are.

I certainly was not disappointed with my first (arguably, full) plate of dim sum. My second, third, fourth and many more after was a real gastronomic treat indeed. The Mandarin Palace weekend brunch offers delectable dim sum delights. They include shrimp dumpling, crab claw dumpling, sweet and sour dumpling, curry dumpling (a must for curry-crazy Malaysians!), Thai style dumpling, otak-otak dumpling, crystal dumpling and scallop dumpling.

For variety, I decided to also try out their fried and steam fish balls which were both delicious and easy to bite into. My next trip to the buffet table took me to the fried section. I was smiling with glee looking at what was on offer. My favourites were all there such as fried wonton, fried cheese balls, fried bean curd skin and fried yam cake. For those who cannot go for hours with rice, I would recommend their glutinous rice. It is rich and utterly delish.

Sitting at the table, I was served a plate of chee cheong fun. I am not a huge fan of it but I was game to try some. I was surprised to find myself asking for more. The sauce it came with was amazing. Just the right tinge of saltiness to make the chee cheong fun truly fun to eat! After a quick slurp of the calming Chinese tea to clean my palate, I went back on the prowl to try out their sweet offerings. You can never go wrong with their sesame balls, Chinese pancake and the obligatory egg tarts.

By this time, the stomach was already groaning with pleasure. However, the Mandarin Palace’s weekend brunch is nowhere near the end of its gastronomic offering. Diners can feast their eyes at the roasting stall with a variety of roasted duck, chicken, chicken cha siew and steamed chicken to tempt their empty tummy. They can also enjoy the five spices soy chicken, duck and bean curd & egg.

Their time-honoured tradition of ensuring each guest enjoys a feast worth remembering sees the team at the Mandarin Palace preparing a variety of main dishes for them to savour. They include friend chicken with dried chilli, sweet and sour fish, Ma Po tau fu, twin mushroom with vegetables, fried hor fun with black soya bean sauce and char siew & long bean fried rice.

I couldn’t fit anything else in my tummy that day but I was pleased to see a good offering of desserts for those who can squeeze just a bit more. They can feast on sweetened rambutan with pineapple, red bean cream, baked custard dumpling, chilled red bean cake and snow skin roll, Malay kuih and freshly cut fruits.

Being at the Mandarin Palace is like relaxing in a family home although it would have to be a really grand mansion. The restaurant offers an original ethnic palatial ambiance of fine intricate impressive Chinese wood carving of auspicious dragons, phoenix, birds, lotus, flowers and many more. On each pillar, panel, wall and ceiling, guests can admire carvings that depict rich classical Chinese fables and legends. Around the restaurant, you can also admire a host of antique original Chinese furniture. The Mandarin Palace is the only Chinese restaurant in Kuala Lumpur that has such rich ambience, furnishing and historical significance.

So remember, the next time you feel like having a relaxing time with your family or friends over the weekend, head on to the Mandarin Palace restaurant at The Federal Hotel for a scrumptious dim sum brunch! Forget lunch, the brunch is the way to go on Saturday or Sunday.

Weekend Dim Sum Brunch Saturday and Sunday 10.30am – 2.30pm RM48nett (adult) RM24nett (child/senior citizen)

For reservation, please call 03-21489166 ext 2202.
