KNK Yakiniku Japanese Charcoal BBQ in Bay Avenue

Kannichikan Yakiniku (KNK) opened in Bay Avenue in March this year, making the outlet the third one in Malaysia after the ones in Tanjong Tokong and Desa Sri Hartamas. The Tanjong Tokong outlet has been around for over ten years now. 

KNK specializes in Japanese charcoal barbeque and is most notable for serving premium grade Wagyu beef. The grilling is done by diners over a charcoal brazier built into the table.

The restaurant is well ventilated and air-conditioned making the grilling experience a comfortable one. The meat was quick to cook and retained the original flavours and succulence. 

KNK also offers value-for-money set menus for lunch and dinner. Check out the review on thestar online here.

Deluxcious All You Can Eat Lunch Buffet

Deluxious which has long been synonymous to its ‘spa cuisine’ has now spread its wings and is now a boutique hotel cum spa and restaurant. It took over the colonial bungalow next door and transformed it into a charming 18-room boutique hotel.

Its newly refurbished restaurant has also introduced an All-You-Can-Eat ala-carte style buffet at RM39.90+ since 30th September 2011. The appetizers, soup and desserts are served at the buffet line but you can order any entrée and as many as you want from the menu. The entrees are served in smaller tasting portion so you can try the different dishes the restaurant has to offer, which include a variety of pasta, chicken, beef, lamb, seafood, fish and Asian specialties.

The restaurant was enjoying brisk business on the Sunday we went for buffet lunch and thus a little short-handed. Nevertheless, the kitchen was very fast to turn around our orders. It would be nice if they could at least serve water at the table vs. the buffet line but the food served was really good so we were quick to dismiss the minor inconveniences.

Despite the buffet style, we were served with very fine and good quality food. All of us were awed by the flavours and freshness of the ingredients served. Hats off to Deluxious for coming up with such creative ideas and especially so for such great culinary delights.

Barbecue Bounty at Sigi's Bar and Grill on the Beach

Sigi's Bar and Grill on the Beach has recently unveiled its' latest pride and joy, an outdoor barbecue pit on its' beach front. Measuring 5.2 metres in diameter and seating up to 12 guests, the one-of-its-kind circular pit is probably the biggest on the Batu Feringgi beach. We were recently invited with a few guests to sample barbecue delights prepared by Executive Sous Chef John Brock.

Be it a personal get-together or a company function, the outdoor barbecue pit is an ideal venue to let the hair down and enjoy the sunset or sea breeze, complete with your own personal chef and service staff for the evening. Impress your guests with the chefs in action, demonstrating their culinary and grilling skills.

Choose from two set menus priced at RM90++ and RM120++ per pax with a minimum of six pax. Both menus provide a variety of seafood, red and white meats with an extensive selection of starters and appetizers which include Caesar Salad, Pasta Salad, Coleslaw, Potato Salad, breads and desserts, and free flow of beer, house wine, virgin mojitos and soft drinks. Starters not to be missed are the Fresh Oysters with Chef's selection of dipping sauce and my personal favourite Gourmet Flat Bread.

The barbecue spread includes highlights like Grilled Moroccan Prawns, Grilled Snapper in Banana Leaves, Slippery Lobster, Chermoula Lamb, Minute Sirlion Steak, Tom Yum Spiced Chicken Wings, Chicken and Beef Satay and BBQ Chicken Sausages.

Gourmet Flat Bread and Garlic Bread


The Gourmet Flat Bread really needs a special mention. The flat bread is crispy with an abundance of sunflower seeds, olives, sun dried tomato and feta cheese. I ate at least three slices so trust me, they are really very good! :)

Strawberry Short Bread (loved this heaps too)

I especially loved the combination of the biscuit pastry, sliced strawberries and whipped cream.

Chocolate Tarte

Check out the full menu at Food Promotions site. Do give Sigi's a call to book in advance if you are planning for the perfect barbecue on the beach.
