Go Epic on your Sunday Brunch!
Sundays
are great for indulgence! If you’re looking for a feast to indulge, head on
over to The Village Restaurant & Bar
at Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside for
their Epic Brunch. Recently
launched, it’s a plethora of tantalizing seafood, bbq and dessert buffet unlike
any other.
Over
one beautiful Sunday, we headed over to The
Village Restaurant & Bar and was pleased with the gorgeous sight of the
fine-looking Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside hotel. Located next to a lake, the
resort is huge and spacious. We took a leisure stroll to The Village Restaurant
& Bar and was greeted by a majestic sight of colors.
The
whole restaurant was decked out in themed colors of purple, black and white.
The ambiance was jovial and picturesque with lots of tables nicely spaced out.
As the restaurant is located next to the lake, the view is delightful and
perfect for a Sunday indulgence brunch with family or friends.

The
Epic Brunch is priced at RM317nett (with
free flow of champagne, tap beer, cocktails and other beverages), RM243nett per
adult (non-alcohol beverages) and RM 130nett per child. While one may deemed
that the price is steeped, wait till you see what the Epic Brunch offers! It’s not named epic for nothing because the
brunch is lavishly filled with premium seafood and other treats that really
takes your indulgence to a whole new level of satisfaction.
Kick
start the brunch with lots of bubblies (that is if you take the free flow champagne
package) from Nicholas Feuillatte
champagne, special cocktails to lots of freshly squeezed juices to quench
your thirst! They also serve San Pellegrino sparkling and still water...
Head
on over to the Seafood on Ice bar to feast on Crayfish, Mussel, Prawn, Oyster and lots of Salmon and Tuna Sashimi as well as Gravlax. Enjoy the seafood with various sauces that includes a
delicious onion mignonette among the fresh lemon wedges and Thousand island
sauce.
The
sight of a whole Salt Baked Norwegian
Salmon makes my heart sing with joy. The salmon was cooked just right as
the flesh was sweet and soft with a touch of salty creaminess.

tomato sauce
There
was also Whole Baby Barramundi baked
and served with local sauces of Cili Kicap, Air Asam and Sambal Belachan!
Besides
the seafood mentioned, there are more succulent surprises for this Epic Brunch, so read on…
Prime Rib, a whole rack of it, are cooked to
medium doneness. I had seconds of this because the prime rib was exceptionally
tender, juicy and utterly delicious. The meat goes really well with all of the
Mushroom sauce, Black Pepper Sauce and Thyme sauce. They were even thoughtful
enough to provide classic sauces on the table like Worcestershire Sauce,
Horseradish sauce, HP Sauce and more…
Leg of Lamb, all five of it, was roasted with
spices and are equally tender and moreish as the Prime Rib.
Next
to the Carvery station was the BBQ and Grill station where lots of grilling
actions are manned by the many chefs to whip up various Sausages, Chicken,
Seafood and more.
Besides
the scrumptious spread of meat and seafood, there are so much more hot buffet
items such as Soup station, Dim Sum station, Pasta station, Salad bar, local
dishes as well as international ones. Here’s where I let the photos do the
talking…
What
makes Epic Brunch so value for money
is when the wait staff started to come out carrying platters of King Neptune’s
ransom treasures of Spanner Crabs
and Freshwater Prawns! Served at
your tableside, these lavish crustaceans are huge.
Spanner crabs usually have little meat but when
they are of this size, the meat is also plenty and sweet.
Drool-worthy
at sight are the huge Freshwater Prawns
served with a damn kickass Spicy
Raspberry sauce that rocked my palate. The prawns were as large as my hand
and full of creamy sinful roes. That day, the prawns were exceptionally fresh
as I can taste the glorious sweetness of the prawns and the firm yet tender
texture of the crustaceans. Make sure to savor this with the Spicy Raspberry
sauce because the tangy sweet and spicy sauce really amp up the flavour of the
prawns. Can’t get enough of this…
Savoring
all these premium seafood, meat and bubblies alone justifies the price tag of
this Epic Brunch!
Kids
are also well-entertained with clowns who made lots of balloon art for them…
Just
when I thought that it can’t get any better, I hit the Dessert bar set in an
enclosed chilled room. The spread of the dessert is mind-boggling too. From
huge epic cakes to dainty slices, tarts, mousse, jellies, eclairs, cupcakes,
handmade chocolates and truffles, macarons, cookies, Chocolate Fountain, fresh
fruits, cheeses, ice creams and local kuihs, one would really have a tough time
saving space for this lot as well as tough decision in choosing from these
delectable dessert spread.
Kids
as well as adults are going to love the little Popcorn station churning out
golden crunchy nuggets of caramelized popcorn…
My
dessert plate was thoroughly satisfying…
