Sanook ~ ~ Fun & Happening Bistro @Kelana Jaya

Do you ever dream of dining in a restaurant fronting a lake which offers a sumptuous spread of the best dishes from Asia, Europe and America?

Or maybe taste the best meal from delicious Asian curries and noodles, traditional Italian pasta and wood-fired oven pizzas, juicy American chops, original Angus steaks to an eclectic mix of tapas, canapés and desserts from a variety of culinary and cultural backgrounds without traveling far to oversea?

Sanook ~ offered the brand new menu focusing on Fusion food, combining the complex and delicate tastes of Asia with the wholesome robust flavors of the West. Pricing at relatively low and all quoted as net prices in the menu. Also, as shown in the menu, Sanook's Simple the Best Selection is known to be extremely dangerous to food lovers just like me and you!!


Sanook, meaning "Fun" in Thai, is a guiding principle of Thai social life. And indeed, it’s a principle that transcends all borders and cultures and is applied by all and to all who wants to enjoy life.

At Sanook, it is divided into two levels to create a fun atmosphere for the guest to enjoy the good life at Alfresco@Sanook and Arriba@Sanook. Thanks to invitation from Sanook manager, was able to try out the best selection from Alfresco@Sanook which located at ground floor.


 
Sanook's Executive Head Chef, Asrif, has more than 10 years’ experience in developing fine cuisines and is a master in combining tastes, textures and flavors ; using spices and creating sauces. For instance, Sesame Honey Lamb pizza uses a base sauce of peanut butter, instead of the traditional tomato-based sauce.


And one of the Sanook's best selection ~ ~ Kim Yang Lamb Cutlets is garnished with a piquant Korean sauce and Kimchi.


Our dinner started with two Appetizers, these two dishes were perfect for those who's looking for a light meal during a chit chat session with friend/family
