The Amazing Capri Restaurant @ Lumut, Perak (March 09)

On the fourth day, we went to Lumut town for lunch. Since we tried Rockafella, we decided to try on the famous Capri Restaurant.



Lumut town is actually quite small. Locating Capri restaurant is never been easier. Its just a few turns from the Lumut jetty.

Its a cozy restaurant. There was quite a big crowd during lunch time when we were there. We also saw a few ship captains enjoying their lunch there.



The pizza came first. The Quattro Stagioni Pizza. It comes in 4 different types of flavours. The thin crusted pizza consists of beef salami, olive, mushroom and capsicum. The pizza was pretty good. Much better than usual pizza outlets, that's for sure. This is recommendable.



Chicken bratwurst was next. It was pretty good even though they used chicken instead of beef or pork. The mushroom sauce was a little bit "stingy" though.

Bratwurst was a new word to me so I "wikipedia" it.

A bratwurst is a sausage composed of pork, beef, or veal. The name is German, derived from Old High German brätwurst, from brät-, which is finely chopped meat and -wurst, or sausage.Bratwurst are usually grilled and sometimes cooked in broth or beer.- Wikipedia



Chicken lasagna was next. Layered and topped with cream and cheese. Lasagna is always one of my favourite dish. I always craved about it. Even though it looks simple, but getting a nice lasagna is always hard. Here, the lasagna might not look that good, but the taste was not bad.



My client ordered the ravioli. To be frank, I seldom had ravioli in my life. I tried to cook it once when I was in Australia. It didn't turn out the way it suppose to be. It was a totally blunder.

Anyways, we were really spoiled by the ravioli here. Goodness, me the thick creamy sauce with herbs was really addictive. It goes really well with the ravioli.

Ravioli is a type of filled pasta composed of a filling sealed between two layers of thin pasta dough. The word ravioli is reminiscent of the Italian verb ravvolgere ("to wrap"), though the two words are not etymologically connected.-Wikipedia



The apple crumble was promised to be nice by the lovely waitress. She wasn't lying. The apple crumble was hot while topped with the cold vanilla ice cream. The combination made a great dessert. This was really good.



The New York Cheesecake. It was a creamy cheesecake on a cookie crust topped with the whipped cream. This combination of high calorie content was another great recommendation.

The cheese cake was good....



The big fat lunch ended with the Movenpick Swiss Chocolate ice cream. The taste was heavenly. Smooth but thick in chocolate taste. Its was amazing. This premium ice cream is always recommendable.

The lunch feast billed up to RM 18x.xx for 4 persons. The service there was good. For the food, in general they were pretty good. Its kind of hard to believe there's a nice restaurant like this in Lumut.

This place is a must go if you are in Lumut.

Thai Taste Restaurant @ Damai Laut Golf and Country Club, Lumut (March 09)

For the third night in Setiawan, our client decided to bring us to a Thai restaurant at Damai Laut Golf and Country Club. It is located beside Swiss Garden, Lumut.

To go there from Setiawan, it took us at least half an hour drive. We drove slowly there and we enjoyed the lovely plantations view during the journey.

When we reached the restaurant, we were greeted by Thai waitresses and the other lovely friendly staffs. Parking was not an issue there. The restaurant is inside the club house itself. The place is well maintained, very clean with a very nice view of the golf course. It is well air conditioned.

They had an on going promotion for the dinner. We ordered a set dinner for RM 250.00 nett.



The first dish was the deep fried prawn cake. The crispy prawn cake goes very well with the sweet sauce. A great starter for the night.



The seafood Tom Yam soup was next. The soup was not too spicy and not too sour. It was just nice.



Next, the grilled chicken salad. Well, its more like a stir fried chicken with salad. The taste was decent. Nothing special.



Sweet and sour chicken was next. I loved how the chicken blended well with sweet and sour sauce. Chicken was deep fried and then stir fried with the sweet and sour sauce. This was pretty good.



Fried beef with fresh chili. The sauce once again was nice. Thick and savoury. The beef was tender even though its fully cooked. Decent.



Looks like its not going to stop. Red curry prawn was next. The reddish coloured curry itself was thick and had a good aroma of coconut milk.



The fried mixed vegetables was overcooked! The blunder of the night.



Lastly, we had the lovely water chestnut. Thick, creamy and sweet. This was good. Addictively sinful!

Overall, the food was generally okay. The set meal was RM 250 nett for 10 person. The location is a bit far off the town, driving there at night would be a bit hard. It was quite dark out there.

Western Food @ Rockafellas Cafe, Lumut (March 09)

On the second night of the work, we decided to be a bit adventurous. Instead of dining in Setiawan, we drove further to Lumut town for dinner.

Recommended by my client, this place is called Rockafellas Cafe (not related to the Rockafellas of US). Apparently, this place is very famous for its simple western cuisine.

The journey itself took around 1/2 an hour. After a few turns, we finally located the restaurant in Lumut town.

The place itself was very cozy. Nice enough, they had a pool table in the cafe. The friendly waiter came and took our orders. We were really hungry.



We ordered a sauteed mushroom. It was good. The creamy butter garlic sauce goes very well with the mushroom. A real good starter! To be frank this mouthwatering dish was very addictive! The sauce was thick, flavourly with butter, garlic and hints of herbs.



The caesar salad was next. The caesar salad didn't come with the egg. Missing eggs! One of the guys loved parmesan cheese so much, he basically "snowed" the caesar salad with the parmesan cheese. It was supposed to be a healthy food, now turned to a salad with cheese. The salad was decent.



I ordered a cordon bleu. Something that was not so in sync with my diet program. I felt guilty but the temptation was too much for me to handle.

A cut to the chicken, the ham was visible in the inside and the juicy melted cheese slowly flows out. A bite would taste the combinations of chicken with breadcrumbs, ham and melted cheese. It was delicious. Yet, it was sinful.

It was a fun night with lovely foods. I was a bit surprised as the place served decent foods with reasonable price. The service was good, but serving was a bit slow. They do spent a bit of time prepared their foods. The place is air conditioned and the music was nice.

Its a good place to dine if you are in Lumut.
