The newly open Harbour Cafe in Traders Hotel (N1.41784 E103.65638) has offering a nice buffet dinner to their guests and public. It’s about a month or so, the Traders Hotel at Nusajaya had started operation and so do the restaurants, we were invited by the Communication Manager – Ms Aidah for the buffet dinner on one of the evening.
The Traders Hotel is located next to the popular Hello Kitty Theme Park and Puteri Harbour of Johor, the signages on the Highway will clearly navigate the visitor to the destination easily.
The Cafe is offering the International and local delicacies, where you can taste full of varieties in one stop. During the Ramadan month, they prepared more local cuisine compare with normal serving to cater the guests for ‘Buka Puasa’.
Once we stepped into the cafe, we were greeted by the nicely display fruits and vegetables pickles on the decoration cabinets…it was so tempted to grab some of it…:)
The Executive Chef from the hotel – Mr Alan Wong introduced the foods to us systematically…our pleasure and thanks to Mr Alan.
The first session was the appetizers…
There were many fruits and salads available, among all I like the baby tomotoes very much!
The Harbour cafe provided 7 types of ‘Kerabu’ for appetizers…they were : Yurap Kacang Panjang, Kerabu Ayam, Kerabu Udang, Kerabu Daging, Acar Jelatah, Kerabu Perut and Tauhu Sumbat.
The ‘Rojak’ was loacted at the end of it, where you can mixed your own fruits ‘Rojak’ the way you like.
On the next session – the Japanese and the local soup corner…honestly, this was my favorite corner. 🙂
We were stepped in the perfect timing where one of the staff was pereparing the Sashimi…
Next to the Japanese corner, nicely presented the local soup area. It provided mainly 3 types of soup : chicken, beef and mutton.
Follow by the Roti Pratha (or canai) session…they do serve ‘Roti Naan’ in request…
Before we jump to the seafood area, there were something caught my eyes…
The “Ayam Percik Utara, Nasi Hujan Panas, Rusa Rendang Johor and Puyuh Goreng Berlada.”
The lamb chops were sitted beside…
The seafoods from the same session…guests will have a choice to take the cooked or request the fresh uncook seafoods.
Coming up next was the ‘Claypot’ session where most of the curry and assam soup were serve, this was the session I miss! Because of not enough space for me to fill in…
Every buffet you visit during the Ramadan month, you will definitely see this ‘Whole Baby Lamb’, it might be the must during the Buka Puasa.
The Chinese corner was situated next, where you can get most of the noodle soup within the session included a Nice Johor Laksa.
When talk about Chinese corner, it won’t be complete with the ‘Dim Sum’. The tasty Dim Sum served without pork and lard, that means our Muslim friends also have a chance to enjoy the Chinese Dim Sum.
The Local Delights of ‘Kambing Kari Pudina, nasi Goreng Ikan Masin, Bawal Semur Betawi, Udang Paprik and Pucuk Manis Masak Lemak’ were at the last food corner…
The last session of the buffet was the interesting island…The Dessert Island.
They were the first hotel in Johor to brought in the Fondue machine from England, where you can have dark and white chocolate in One machine.
I believe the children and some of the adults will excited and love it very much!
It was our honor to had Chef Bing to prepared the ‘Apom Balik’ for us, Yummy!
Now, let’s have a glance on the dining area of Harbour Cafe…
All the dining area are designed next to the food session, you can easily enjoy your dinner with just a few steps.
I can’t taste all the foods here because of my very limited stomach, I wish I have 2-3 tummy to fill all the foods here, am I greedy?! 🙂
I tasted the baby lamb, nice and succulent with the kuzi sauce. The fragrance Satay sauce was unique and special which I never try before! Nice! We were indulged in the Sashimi that evening…the Salmon and Tuna Sashimis were fresh with the perfect texture.
The dessert time was the time we can’t stop enjoying it! Thanks for Chef Bing specially served us the unique dessert from him, that was my First time having the fried pineapple that dipped with dark chocolate! Delicious!
We had a wonderful evening having the buffet dinner at Harbour Cafe! I’ll definitely back for more…
A common question from friends : “How’s the food?” Well, I cannot taste all the foods in the Cafe, and understand that everyone has a different taste bud. You have to try it yourself to find your own taste. What I can say is…some were average and most were Yummylicious! Especially dine at the nice environment, I would say…I love it!
