Restaurant: Bijan, Kuala Lumpur

Have heard about the Bijan Bar & Restaurant some time back. Awarded the best Malay restaurant by Tourism Malaysia in 2004, it’s located at Jalan Ceylon, an area I’ve always liked for its serenity in spite of being within the vicinity of the hustle & bustle of Bukit Bintang.

The restaurant plays with the colours purple & orange, and is unlike any other Malay restaurant I’ve been to, with the bar and wine chiller prominently in sight. Lol. However the overall design is rather cosy and inviting. We chose to sit inside as it was noon and I wanted my air-cond! Heh. Love the batik napkins, nice Malaysian touch.

Tried 2 drinks from Bijan, the Soursop Juice and Bijan Fruitpunch. Can you tell that I was really thirsty? The Soursop juice was much nicer than the fruitpunch though the looks of both drinks seem otherwise. The fruitpunch was rather bland despite the description saying that fruits like mango, oranges, watermelon were used. At least it was of slushy consistency.
