As I walked into the Avangio hotel lobby,
it certainly felt welcoming to be greeted "Selamat Datang".
A traditional way of Malaysians saying "Welcome".
Tastefully decorated was the first thing that came to mind upon exploring the lobby and lounge.
The restaurant is wonderfully cosy! The most stunning private dining room for a group of 12.
Deciding to explore some more, I went and checked out 2 different types of rooms!
Avangio hotel has actually 4 types of accommodations for guests to choose from :
Executive Suite, Privilege room, Deluxe room, and Superior room.
The pool boasts a pretty poolside bar and comfy sun chairs!
Enjoy the beautiful sunset here.
Gym in style with new equipment and then enjoy the sauna or join their Zumba classes!
And now to the favourite part of my day, FOOD!
Avnagio hotel's all day dining restaurant MERCATO unveils its new menu , created under the brilliant collaboration with French Culinary Director of Pullman Surabaya's Thierry Schuller.
Schuller is known for his passion for artistic and creative expressions through exquisite food presentation and cuisine. Diners at MERCATO can experience many gastronomical dishes carefully assembled by Junior Sous Chef - Chef Idzwan and the kitchen team to satisfy even the most discerning taste buds.
NICOISE SALAD
Very light and refreshing salad that consisted of charred slices of tuna.
Topped with crunchy peppers and zesty olives., Dressed with vinegar.
Simplicity at its best.
HINAVA
A local favorite that has won hearts of all who has had the opportunity to taste it!
Only the freshest of fish will do for this dish, as it will need the acidity of the lime to cook it.
Mixed with the tiniest bit ginger, cili padi, shallots and sugar.
SALMON QUICHE
The biggest quiche i've seen!
Filled with salmon, the cheddar mixture was smooth and the crust was just nice.
Normally, quiches are overwhelmed by the cheddar cheese, this one was just right.
Some might find it slightly bland so, it might be wise to share.
BEEF BURGER
Two thumbs up for supporting local produce!
Here, they used local cheese made by our very own Sabah DESA milk.
Poppy seed buns, a very generous beef patty and topped with a sunny side up.
Served with potato fries and your choice of sauce.
FISH AND CHIPS
A classic dish that always satisfies.
Fried in batter to a golden crisp and served with potato fries.
SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE
Deemed as "the best spaghetti" by Mercato's chef.
A generous portion of ground beef on top a bed of pasta is accompanied by cheesy baguettes.
SAGO GULA MELAKA
Sago is a starch extracted from the spongy centre of various tropical palm stem,
after which turns into glutinous little balls when boiled.
Sago is very popular as a dessert here in Malaysiawhen paired with gula melaka and cream.
In Mercato restaurant,
they go the extra mile to top it off with a layer of mango glaze.
MANGO PANNA COTTA
Smooth, creamy and zesty mango hits the right notes with this dessert.
Topped with cream and a sprig of mint.
