Taking a look at two outlets at Pudu's Swiss Garden Hotel: first up, Green Treats Delicatessen is supposed to be a health-food haven of garden-fresh salads, organic bread & wholesome desserts, but its menu is less wide-ranging than expected.
We settled for a sweet treat, since the high-fiber noodles & sandwiches that we sought here were unavailable or sold out on this recent evening. The cheese-topped organic carrot cake proved serviceable; moist & flavorsome enough to curb complaints.
Lambda juices: cranberry, blackcurrant & apple nectar, alongside carrot & orange. Guess this fulfilled our Vitamin C & beta-carotene requirement for the weekend.
Only a few steps away from Green Treats, the hotel's Blue Chip Lounge features live singing (the greatest love of allllllll, is easy to achieeeeve) & a fair selection of alcohol.
White Russian & Brandy Alexander, to send us off on our milky way. But really, nearly every hotel lobby lounge in KL seems the same, sticking to tried-&-tested-&-tired formulas.
For a better boozy binge, Ril's Steakhouse in Chinatown is a 5-minute drive from Swiss-Garden. Our latest indulgence here: the Passion Fruit & Lemongrass Vodka Martini.

i shall google up what russian and brandy alexander is! the colour looks unique!
ReplyDeleteMichelle: they both have fresh cream in them, so they're ideal for those of us who like milky cocktails, heh :D
ReplyDeleteGreen Treats sounds right up my alley. Any chance they'll expand the menu soon?
ReplyDeleteBrandy Alexander is one of my favourite cocktails. A nice treat before bed.
ReplyDeleteThe Yum List: I hope they bolster their menu, but right now, I think they're mainly promoting their afternoon teas (scones, sandwiches). And yeah, having some Brandy Alexander is a great way to wind down after a long day at work, heheh :D
ReplyDeleteCould the singing give Whitney a run for her money? lol
ReplyDeleteThe passionfruit martini was yum-yum-yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Ril's Steakhouse, will go back and try their food next time!
ReplyDeleteDropsofcontentment: Whitney is a goddess! No mere human can equal her, heheh
ReplyDeleteKenny: heheh, the only alcohol we had that day, i think, so of course it was fabulous!
CK: if you're a steak-lover, you'll probably enjoy the beef here! The steaks are big and juicy, heh :D
Do you like Baileys?
ReplyDeleteBaby sumo: I do! Back in university, I'd order baileys at bars, not beers :D
ReplyDeleteNice piss up session. The blue makes me feel so.. blue... :P
ReplyDeleteCiki: when i'm feeling blue, all i have to do, is take a look at you, then i don't feel so blue ... heheh :D
ReplyDeletethe blue lights make it look like an underwater restaurant. But it must have been very relaxing.
ReplyDeleteEiling: yeah, would have been more relaxing without the very loud live music though! :D
