Sensational Italian Brunch! @ Senja, The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur

What’s better than spend your Sunday with bubbly champagne and some rustically prepared Italian food? Here’s my perfect Sunday with Senja’s Sensational Italian Brunch a few weeks back that kept me full to the brim throughout the day!

 

 

The enticing aroma that wafting in the air lured me made this al-fresco BBQ station my first stop  🙂

 

chicken, beef and lamb sausages, love the smoky flavor and the firm texture, definitely one of  my favourite!

 

 

Grilled Rib Eye Skewers

Marinated Lamb Chop

Both lamb and beef was slightly overdone rendering the meat was a bit tough but the flavors was nice with the brilliant marinade nonetheless.

 

Grilled Tiger Prawn Skewers

The de-shelled prawn was fresh and convenient to eat 😛

 

Grilled Salmon

 

Time to satiate the carnivore in me, Bon appetit!

 

Next, let’s proceed to the buffet spread indoor~  I adored the “courtyard” which allowed ample of nature’s lights streamed in with a gorgeous wines collection backdrop.

 

Chilled Prawns

What a sight to behold! The fresh sizable prawns arranged aesthetically on bed of ice, how one can resist it?

 

Prosciutto (Parma Ham) with Melon

A gorgeous pairing of two delicate flavours – sweet and juicy melon with smoky slices of Parma ham.

Selection of Pasta’s (Fusilli, Linguine, Penne) with Pesto Sauce, Arrabbiata Sauce or Seafood Tomato Sauce.

Fresh from the wood fired oven were selection of pizza of Margherita and Pepperoni. Lusciously cheesy with nice crispy edges & toothsome toppings.
