So.. on my Khaima's birthday a.k.a Christmas Eve... we went to Rumours Restaurant at Desa Sri Hartamas for dinner...

If you seek a dining experience that is refined, attentive and unpretentious – RUMOURS has it all.
At RUMOURS, food is celebrated and enjoyed in its pure form; where texture is fundament and taste and aroma interweave to culminate in a gastronomic romance that is enchanting and absolute.
RUMOURS draws its inspiration for design, concept and delivery from its tagline: bold, delicious, saucy.

When we first arrived at the restaurant we were greeted at the door by an employee who I just realised was the manager Mr Malik!! He was very very veryyy friendly... chit chatting while he led us to our table...

We opted for the 4 course christmas set menu.



The starter, a platter of smoked salmon roll, White Tuna Carppacio and Kattaffir Prawns

I loved the smoked salmon served with sour cream and some caviar on the top... the prawns were fresh.. juicy on the inside and a crunchy layer on the outside.. the fish was also very nice.. it was sliced perfectly thin!! ..and I thought Carppacio style would only work with beef..=X

There was also a complimentary glass of white wine...my favorite hehehe..

Next we had traditional pumpkin soup...


Very CREAMY and rich.. very delicious for those who love thick creamy soups..=)

For the mains it was a choice of Traditional Roast Turkey with chestnut stuffing on the side, ROasted Fillet of Beef or Pan-Fried Fillet of Salmon each served with Brussel Sprouts, Baby Carrots, Roasted Rosemary Potatoes and cranberry sauce.

I couldn't make up my mind on what to pick! In the end, Mr Malik made a special one just for me with a third of each choice in one plate!! Yayy!

That's the turkey on the top, salmon in the middle, and beef at the bottom...

They were also very generous with the chestnut stuffing! Each of us got a serving even though we had beef and salmon as out choice...=)!

We were all already stuffed by the time the main course was over... but we still had dessert to go!!

First of was the Warm Christmas Pudding with Vanilla Sauce..


The christmas pudding is made with lots of fruits and taste just like an extra rich version of fruit cake! The vanilla sauce was very nice especially mixed with the strawberry sauce as well... I didn't manage to finish the pudding because I was already soooo full!

There was also a SECOND dessert! Because it was my Khaima's birthday... the staff and the chef actually came out to sing her a birthday song as well as prepared a very nice cake!


Chocolate and Orange Moist Cake with Strawberry Sauce...

Pwooahh! This cake was super delicious!! Although I was soo bloated I still manage to cram the whole piece of cake into my over flowing stomach.. hahaha!

We were also given a complimentary christmas mince pie wrapped with pretty christmas ribbons!

I particularly liked dining here and I will definitely get mum to bring me again to try the sunday BBQ lunch that had good reviews on some other food blogs... plus Malik the Manager is really friendly!! He said he was going to try and find my blog once he has the time so if your reading this Mr.Malik.. HIIII!!!!! =P
