Bora Ombak, Ampang, June 2011

Dear Diary,

One day, Hubby called from his office and told us to get ready by 8pm. When asked why, he just informed that he wanted to bring us out for dinner at a special place. The kids and I were eager to know where the place is.

Tadaa….Hubby brought us to Bora Ombak. Oh my, it’s a special place indeed. The restaurant is romantically decorated with Bali influenced décor. As soon as we stepped inside the restaurant, a staff beat the gong that hangs beside the entrance. I felt like VIP for a minute there! There are indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. Each corner is carefully designed to evoke a tranquil ambiance.

Wow, the foods served hit our expectations. I especially like their Western menus. However, their local menus that we ordered were not as delicious for me.

Spaghetti Bolognese – YUMMY

Fettuccine Carbonara – YUMMY

China Town Fried Rice – Average

Mak Bonda’s Special – Average

Thai Pandan Chicken – Not bad

Pisang Goreng Bali with Ice Cream – YUMMY

Lemongrass Chiller (strong taste of lemongrass), Cappuccino Freezer (Average), Es Kelapa Duda

There is live performance by resident band. Remember Didi from Akademi Fantasia? He used to perform here. The band accepts song request from customers. We requested Sedetik Lebih, a song by Anuar Zain. The night we were there, there were also a group of women doing Poco Poco dance.

With a capacity of 700 pax, Bora Ombak is available for functions such as garden wedding, corporate function, product launch, annual dinner, birthday, anniversary, etc and it also offers catering services. Linda Jasmine and Que Haidar had their wedding reception here. Another plus point is ample parking spaces.
