The Eclectic

*** Updates: The Electic has since ceased operation and relocated to Suffolk House with a different concept. See my posts on Suffolk House here and here ****

We were in Batu Ferringhi so we decided to give The Electic a try for dinner. The Electic was formerly known as 68 Kelawei and we used to frequent the restaurant when it was still located at Kelawei Road.

We used to really love the Brazilian style buffet at the restaurant but he was feeling a little under the weather so decided to give the carvery set dinner a pass and opted for the ala-carte menu instead.

Clear chicken broth with wanton & sesame oil drizzle RM11

3 jewel mushroom cream soup RM13

Spaghetti aglio olio seafood ( spaghetti stir fried in olive oil with sautéed garlic, chilli & seafood) RM32

Angel hair in chilli tomato concasse with crabmeat & ginger flower RM36

The clear chicken broth was surprisingly good, served steaming hot with fresh prawn wantons.

The mushroom soup was almost perfect, very creamy like the way we like it, filled with chunks of mushrooms.

The pasta was done al-dente which was good but the thing that gave them away was the fact that they were unacceptably salty for our taste. I couldn't even finish half of the pasta. :(

Service was a little slow that night but all things aside the ambiance was great and we will come back to try the Brazilian style barbeque the next round.
