Flavours of Nusantara at Bricks, Legoland Hotel

 

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.

 

Live music and dance entertainment comes
with dining at Bricks this Ramadan month

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.
