Catatan Perjalanan: Air Tangan Chef “Melukis di Pinggan” Menjadi Juadah Berbuka Puasa di Ancasa Royale Hotel, Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia.

Menghias makanan seumpama “melukis di pinggan” adalah kata-kata yang indah keluar dari mulut chef Mohd Badrulhisyam Abu Bakar semasa sesi temubual di antara kami. Saya terpegun melihat cara beliau menghias setiap makanan di atas pinggan dengan mudah dan cepat namun hasilnya cukup mempersonakan. Selaku Malay Chef di Restoran Saffron Brasserie, Ancasa Royale Hotel, Pekan, Pahang beliau bertanggungjawab ke atas setiap hidangan tradisional Melayu yang menjadi sajian utama bufet Ramadan tahun ini.

Sungguh menakjubkan! Ternyata air tangan beliau bukan hanya cantik pada rupa, detik hati saya tatkala menikmati sajian pertama di restoran ini. Keenakan hidangan hasil sentuhan seni beliau membuatkan saya teruja untuk mempromosi bufet Ramadan bagi Ancasa Royale Hotel, Pekan, Pahang ini. Restoran tersebut mempunyai sijil halal JAKIM dan tidak perlu was-was untuk menikmati sajian di sana.

Terdapat pelbagai sajian tradisional dan autentik yang pasti menyiurkan anda antaranya ialah Sayur Kampung Masak Budu, Ketam Lemak Rebung, patin Tempoyak dan Daging Opor. Puding DiRaja pada suatu waktu dahulu hanya hidangan di istana turut disajikan disini. Saya berasa amat bertuah kerana K.D.Y.T.M Tengku Puan Pahang,Tunku Hajjah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah binti Almarhum Sultan IskandarAlhaj sudi mencemar duli bagi merasmikan bufet Ramadan tersebut.

Terima kasih Ancasa Royale Hotel, Pekan, Pahang, Kementerian Pelancongan danKebudayaan Malaysia, Tourism Malaysia, Tourism Malaysia Pahang dan M-ModeBerhad atas jemputan ini sekaligus membawa saya melawat ke negeri Pahang khususnya Bandar DiRaja Pekan.

Sebelum mengakhiri saya ingin mengesyorkan anda semua untuk berbuka puasa di Ancasa Royale Hotel, Pekan, Pahang.
