Dine With Nature

On Friday, SRB announced that he finally found a new place for us to have my customary birthday dinner. He said, it's really quiet there, which he knows I love, that even the sound of cengkerik would be louder than us. I was starting to get nervous. I taulah we have became really outdoorsy lately, tapi tak payahlah sampai nak dinner pun kat tgh2 hutan kan hahaks!

I didn't know until on the Sunday night itself that he's actually bringing me to a little sanctuary amidst the city bustle called Subak. Chewah konon surpriselaa, tapi memang a surprise jugaklaa coz I haven't got a clue hihi.


He actually stumbled upon this place while driving around Sg. Penchala area, to get a closer look at those huge mansions that can be seen from the Penchala Link highway. Orang on MC patut dok umah diam2, tapi if you keluar sebab nak carik hadiah I, takpelaa dimaafkan ekekeke!

It was drizzling that night, so the sound of raindrops psychologically made the place even cozier and romantic awww. Other than that, all you could hear was the laughter coming from the guests and sure enough, lovely songs from the crickets hehe. The manager shared a funny story about bunyi2 cengkerik ni - one of the guests once requested him to turn down the volume of the crickets sounds, thinking that it came from a hidden speaker somewhere hahah! Well sorry mate, this is The Nature speaking, so you can't really shut me up hehe.


They serve a mixture of Asian and Western cuisines. Among them are:

Ibu Yati's Gado-Gado a.k.a pecal.
They said Raja Nazrin once had it - as if we're supposed to be
impressed by this fact and feel the need to try it too.
But yeah for the fun of it, we did and gotta admit,
sambal kacang itu sedapp!


Fresh Water Prawn Tom Yam.
Y'all know we are hantu tomyam. So this is a MUST!

Fettuccine Carbonara with Fried Salmon
Quite delicious tapi since I've eaten a bit before dinner,
I tak larat nak habiskan the whole plate.
Rasa guilty gila when the waiter asked at the end of the meal,
"Kenapa tak habis ni kak? Ada yg tak kena ke?"
Apparently they make it a habit to ask so they can improve the menu.

Considering Subak has just been opened 10 weeks ago, business is looking quite good for them. They didn't even advertise in newspapers or any printed media. They depend more on word-of-mouth and blogs sahaja. So, I'm kinda doing my part here as one of those 'mouths', spreading the word hehe.

It's a great place for a romantic rendezvous, an intimate celebration with friends & family, and even a reunion. But errr, maybe TKCians tak boleh kot. Nanti cengkerik lari hihihi.

And of course, thanks to SRB who accidentally found this place. I had a great time babe! Thanks for the double pressies too =D
