Recent event that we had organized was pretty successful; at
least I know our fellow colleagues enjoyed themselves very much down here, in
Lone Pine Resort, a boutique hotel along Batu Feringghi. Before Lone Pine was
acquired by E&O group, it was one of the 1st hotels in Batu Feringghi;
it was one of the oldest hotels down here too. After the acquisition, the
entire hotel was under a massive renovation and it was a total change then
after. However, their signature restaurant – The Bungalow still remain
unchanged. In fact, added a store upstairs and named The Gerai, that’s selling
local items like sarongs, rattan basket, hats, and some local delights, etc.
Always like to visit this place, 1 is because is very much
well shaded, 2 is because their food has their unique way of presenting to
their customers and their in house guests, 3 this is one of the shooting venue
for the E&O Celebrity Chefs competition, if you remember, there was a scene
where all the participants have to cook with the children, and they were
cooking one of the simple dish and that’s pancake.
The event that we had has consists of 1 lunch and 2 tea
breaks. And we have 2 sessions down there with 2 different sets of menu. Of
course the 1st session that we had was something unique and it’s The
Bungalow’s signature – The Tiffin Lunch. The Tiffin Lunch is their ever popular
Oriental styled lunch that served in the traditional Tiffin carrier… in fact,
The Sarkies from the E&O Hotel was having the same concept as well. However, some of my colleagues find it a bit
awkward as during their lunch down there… wonder why were they serving their
food in the Tiffin carrier.
Anyway, lunch was served with Hainanese Spring Roll first as
an appetizer and the Papadum as snacks. Sharing the mess ... that picture could tell how enjoy we were!
And, followed by the Vegetable Tom Yam Soup. This is
definitely a kick for me! Cuz, it’s spiciness and sourness is definitely up to
my preference. Of course, it can never be able to compare to the authentic
Thai’s Tom Yam if you really want to compare it.
Here now the Tiffin Carrier… which consists of …
Stir Fried
Chicken with Ginger & Spring Onion
Assam Fish
Foo Young Egg (芙蓉蛋)
Stir Fried Mixed
Vegetables
Last, but not
least… the dessert, Sago Gula Melaka. Many of my fellow colleagues were
telling me the Gula Melaka was very fragrant, and wasn’t that sweet.
The 2nd group food menu has a total change; the
food is more Cantonese style and mellow down too.
Appetizer was served with Kerabu Mango & Turnip with
Gui Fei Abalone Sliced.
Followed by the soup, Egg, Seaweed and Vegetable Soup.
Onion Chicken with BBQ Sauce
Kong Poh Squid
Loh Hun Vegetable with Tang Hoon
Fish with Thai Sauce
And, all served with Steamed Rice
And for the dessert, it was given Honey Dew Sago with
Vanilla Ice Cream. It was creamy and cooling for the current weather.
Oh dear, how can I forget that, they can even arrange
vegetarian food if you have a Vegetarian participant/guest. And this is what we
have, it was a special thought that Lone Pine hotel arranged it for us.
Vegetarian Salad.
Sweet & Sour Chicken Set.
Anyway, the whole event that we have and the place that
we chose is a perfect venue for creating memories that never to be forgotten.
