I
am back at Bricks Family Restaurant for the Ramadan food preview and given a redemption
coupon with the advice that it was for my choice of one Specialty for the Day
that will be served on rotation so that regular diners may savour something
different on each visit.
The
creative and colourful charm at Bricks is such a fun and unique venue for fans
of Lego that it presents an excellent choice for a taste of tradition at
Ramadan, in a fun and lively restaurant.
Live music and dance entertainment comes
with dining at Bricks this Ramadan month
Diners
at Bricks will enjoy an exciting dining experience in a Lego-themed restaurant with
a sumptuous spread curated in the theme, Flavours of Nusantara, that comes with
opportunities to meet Lego mascots and capture photographs with them.
The
Flavours of Nusantara buffet at Bricks will be served from March 7 to 28. And while
it seemed like a bit early for a food preview, I understand that Bricks wanted diners
to book early by taking advantage of their Early Bird Deals. 
Attractive display of desserts
I
am familiar with the restaurant so I took my time to survey the spread of some
150 dishes, arranged both indoors and outdoors, and saw what was new and
different in the buffet being served for this coming Ramadan.
At
the buffet lines, there were signages that encouraged diners to inform the
staff before placing their orders, if they had any special dietary requirements
or allergies to items like gluten, soy, seafood, tree nuts, milk, egg or
peanuts.
It
was good to see that food and drinks were clearly labelled for diners to pause,
read and take their pick from the generous spread so that wastage may be
reduced and possibly avoided.
I
headed out to the open verandah where team members were busy at live cooking
stations, to discover what was the Specialty served that day.
Freshly prepared portions of
Assam Pedas with ingredients
of your choice
The
live cooking stations that lined the outdoor verandah were literally smoking
with excitement as food was furiously being prepared, ready to be served.
The
deep-fried station offered freshly-fried spring rolls, curry puffs, banana
fritters, keropok lekor, slices of banana and sweet potato as well as
the ever-popular deep-fried rolls of gooey durian wrapped in a crispy net
batter.
Nearby,
skewers of beef and chicken satay were grilled among other meats like slices of
fish and chicken wings along with otak-otak, a spicy fish paste encased
in sticks of fragrant coconut leaves.
The
Nusantara theme in the buffet continued with a Noodle station, a station for
Shawarma and another station for freshly made Roti to savour with Dhall vegetable
gravy and Chicken Curry.

a length of bamboo
Fresh
seafood that comprised a variety of fish, prawns, squid, crab and shells were
on ice for diners to pick their seafood to be cooked in spicy Assam Pedas
gravy, topped with a choice of okra, eggplant, Vietnamese coriander or daun
kesum and sliced chilies.
Then
I spotted the lengths of thick bamboo on hot coals, with the tops of the bamboo
lengths covered with silver foil. This – I discovered – was the Specialty of
the Day, Lamb Rack baked in Rice within a length of bamboo.
I
was soon distracted by the sight of freshwater prawns, udang galah with
unusually long and slim claws and when I asked, was told that one prawn would
be served in zesty Tom Yum soup and presented within a coconut.
This
was another choice of the Specialty of the Day showcased for the preview while
the third Specialty item, Lobster Lemak Salai, was not available that
day.

Back
indoors, the mood in the restaurant was upbeat with live cultural music
entertainment and traditional dance performances provided by talented students
from nearby schools.
The
attractive display on the Dessert counter was like a magnet that drew me closer
for a better look at the range of local kueh, cakes, pastries and puddings.
Meanwhile
one Appetizer counter was heavy with ingredients for diners to assemble their
own local salads with sauce choices for mixing Rojak Sotong Kangkung, Rojak
Pasembur and Rojak Buah.
In
another Appetizer section there was a choice of preserved dates, crisps,
pickles and a range of mixed, mouth-watering salads like local Kerabu along
with ulam ingredients to savour with a choice of traditional local
sauces.

this Appetizer section
While
traditional Roasted Lamb and Briyani rice was a firm favourite in the hot
buffet, there was also steamed white rice to savour with a menu of
mouth-watering breaking-of-fast dishes.
They
include dishes like Labu Masak Lemak Kuning, Sambal Tempe Jawa, Pajeri Nenas, Sayur
Lodeh, Pucuk Ubi Masak Lemak, Keli Geprek, Black Mussels in Chili, Siput Sedut
Masak Lemak, Udang Tumis Bayam, Ikan Goreng Kunyit, Daging Hitam Belimbing
Buluh, Ayam Masak Minang and Puyuh Berempah or deep-fried quail.
Did
I mention that there was also a separate Dessert section for cut fresh fruits,
shaved ice treats and ice-cream on cones? And a counter for chilled drinks like
Ribena Longan and Bandung Cincau, among other soft drinks and hot Nescafe?

Yes,
there were all this and much more in the Flavours of Nusantara dinner spread.
In
addition to Lego mascot appearances during dinner, diners at Bricks every
weekend, will be able to participate in Lucky Draws for a chance to take home
awesome Lego toys.
As
in previous years, Legoland Hotel continues to offer Top-Up privilege to diners
who may enjoy a visit to SeaLife Malaysia from 4pm to 6pm on their dine-in day.
