It's been quite a long time that I did not blog about Sarkies Corner. The last time I blog about them was few years back, where their's buffet was still at Sarkies Corner. Review can be viewed here. As for now all the buffets were moved to new wings - Sarkies.
Today, I am going to blog about Sarkies Corner. But this time I am going to elaborate more about "The Bakery", Weekend Local Specialties and some of the ala carte menu.
SARKIES CORNER - THE BAKERY
The bakery is just located on your right at the entrance of the Sarkies Corner.
It's operates daily from 11:00 am to 9:00pm.
What is the special deal for THE BAKERY?
Normally you will get a slice of cake for RM12++. If you like something extra to go with the cake. Like a cup of hot beverage, just pay RM18++. (applies for DINE-IN only)
Another good news, you get 50% off bakery items from 6pm onwards.
Let me show you what kind of cakes, pastries and muffins that are being served from the pastry counter at THE BAKERY during my visit.
This choc banana cake has a very rich banana flavours. If you are banana lovers, you will love this. The chocolate itself does not really empower the banana flavours. I like the white chocolate coated nuts on top of it. It is very crunchy and nice as well.
Their Tiramisu is a bit special. As the outer part of the Tiramisu is cover with layer sponge cake. The layer sponge cake consists of different spices. Which remind me about the Indonesia layer cake. Something different and special.
The dark choc mousse will attract those who loves dark chocolate. I think I can classify myself as the dark chocolate lover category of person. The chocolate use in this cake is imported from overseas. My gal told me that it is not too bitter nor sweet. She said she loves it. Guess may be can order this for her birthday cake this year.
Pavlova......... oh it's been quite sometime that I did not had this. Pavlova always reminds me about my years back in Melbourne. All the memories flew back. This mini Pavlova is quite nice. Give it a try!
They also served different type of scones, pastries and muffins. You should be able to get something that suits your taste buds here.
Chef Naza is the chef that bake the above different types of cakes, pastries, muffins, scones and etc.
LOCAL WEEKEND SPECIALTIES
Every week they will have different weekend specialties which I am going to elaborate further in the following post.
Week 1 - Roasted Chicken and Duck Rice, Popiah and Pie Tee
I was told that their roasted chicken and duck rice are on of their famous best sellers food. After I tried it, indeed I am agreed with them. While writing this post right now, I still cannot forget the chicken and duck meat. It is very tender and juicy. hmm...... perhaps I am going back soon over the weekend to fulfill my wish. Hahahahhahahah.......
I am actually not the popiah fan. But the popiah is quite nice and as for pie tee, it is very crunchy at the outer part and inside it is very juicy. My friends just put all that into their mouth in one go. They said its nice with the combination at one go.
Week 2 - Laksa Lemak and Bubur Pulut Hitam
Are you the lemak laksa fans? If you are, you will definitely like this. It is very lemak and spicy.
Week 3 - Penang Prawn Mee and Rojak Buah Buahan
Week 4 - Nasi lemak and Ice Kacang
WEEKEND LOCAL SPECIALTIES IS ONLY APPLY ON EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. FROM 12 NOON TO 3PM. COST: RM 20++ PER DISH.
ALA CARTE MENU
Beef Rendang served with steamed rice
It is basically local spices beef stew with coconut milk, chilli and lemongrass.
Mamak Mee Goreng
Fried yellow noodle with prawn, chicken meat, chicken egg, bean sprout, bean curd, potatoes and peanut sauce. I quite enjoy this mamak mee goreng as it has a rich aroma of peanut sauce use.
GRILLED GRASS FED BEEF SIRLOIN
Grill beef served with wild mushroom ragout, tomato relish and shallot sauce.
KOAY TEOW SOUP
Flat rice noodles served with rich chicken broth, fish balls, fish cakes, chicken meat and choy sum.
Spaghetti Pomodoro
TAGLIATELLIE CARBONARA
Tagliatellie served with roasted chicken breast, mushroom and cream.
You can choose to use chicken egg or duck egg for this the Char Koay Teow. I usually will opt for the duck egg as I feel that it is more favourable. The Char Koay Teow was presented with cone shape wrap with banana leave. When being served, they will just open right in front of you. It's like you are waiting for something special to review.
AMERICAN BEEF BURGER
It consists of Cheese, mayonnaise, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion rings, gherkins, lettuce, chicken egg, beef and served with sesame seed bun plus French fries.
