Mother's Day at Bumbu Bali, Bandar Puteri Puchong

I guess if you've been reading Malaysian food blogs you would probably know of Bumbu Bali in Bandar Puteri Puchong (which incidentally is becoming a great place for food). Bumbu Bali is a little bit like those restaurants in Melaka's Jonker Walk whereby aside from food they are also in the business of selling home decoration items. As the name suggests Bumbu Bali serves Balinese food. They are also serve Western food (steaks, burgers, etc...) but the gold is really with the Balinese food.

The family was there for Mother's Day and I brought ST along to enjoy the food. Neither me nor ST ordered the Balinese dishes but I did obtain some "samples" from my brother and father's plate and what little I ate were delicious. I'm still regretting not ordering the rice dishes because they seemed to be spectacular where as their western food isn't anything great.

Servings are big and price is as expected (which means it's not cheap). Let's get on to the pics. Apologies for the picture quality as my SE K750i doesn't take great pictures under dim lighting conditions.


Es Campur (pronounced Ais Campur, RM8.50) is a shaved iced drink with ridiculous amounts of coconut. This is not coconut juice though. It's more of ice blended coconut flesh with lots of sago and some misc. fruits topped up with strips of santan and a small slice of banana. I found this to be too much coconut for my tastes.


Grilled Dory Fish (RM18.00). My mom had this. All their BBQ items are grilled with a good dose of herbs. The sauce you see in the teacup is black pepper and it was awfully watery.


Chicken and Squid Combo (RM26.50). You can't really make out the squids here because they're under the dark coloured sauce (on the left side of picture). Nothing really spectacular about this dish.


Seafood Platter (RM24.50). Consists of fish, prawns and squids. There's that watery black pepper sauce again. The prawns were not fresh. I hate it when that happens.


Nasi BBQ Chicken (RM18.50). From what little I have eaten their chicken is juicy and aromatic.


Nasi Ayam Bertutu (RM19.50). This one is another winner. I absolutely must order this the next time I go there.


This came free to every mother at the restaurant that night. I'm pretty sure this is a Chinese 'tong-sui' (lit: sweet drink). There were lots of chunky sliced water chestnuts and lotus seeds in this but it was way too sweet.

so i guess its safer to order their rice dishes and avoid the western ones.

The BBQ chicken rice looks very yummy.

I've not tried their western meals but I reckon they use the same herbs and method to bbq it (i.e over the coconut husk).

Just saw yr pixs again - the winner to order at this place is their Nasi Campur Special as it has chicken, fish, prawns and I think squid. Plus they have the yummy satay lilit which is a seafood satay on a lemongrass stick. Yeah, their prawns is not fresh but the fish was superb.

honey star: yup yup... rice good... western food not so good.

boo_licious: the Nasi Campur Special is also very expensive :)

Wanted to try their satay lilit too but couldn't stomach so much food.
