Tulang Soup Station |
Tulang Soup (Mutton Bone Soup). The Tulang Soup here is definitely a
must try. The broth itself is thick and robust. Lots of spices are
used for this broth, but they made it perfectly balanced without the
usual overpowering pepper. For tulang lovers, this will be a treat
for you. Just get the straw from the drink station and slurp the
marrow out from the bones. Little Devil manage to polish three of the
tulang in one seating. A good hearty start to the meal here.

Beef
Gallatin. The
Landmark version of Beef Stew with Cheese. It is thick, robust, beefy
and topped with cheese for its creaminess. I always have a weak spot
for beef stew and this definitely hits the spot.

Chicken
Kebab. A dish with Mediterranean
influences. Tender and succulent chicken meat, well marinated and
well constructed with the wrap. The mini bits of chicken, fresh
vegetables and mayonnaise just bind the dish well.

Chili
Crab. The version here uses only
sambal, instead of the egg sauce version such as in Jumbo Seafood.
The blue swimmer crabs are cooked in sambal and it tasted fiery
indeed. The crab meat is sweet combined with the fiery sambal is
definitely not for the faint hearted. I only manage to finish one
pincer and gave up on the second one as it was just so spicy. LD
enjoyed it though.

Naan
and Butter Chicken. We just
can't say no to a fluffy naan. Nicely executed, it was fluffy and
slighly chewy at the same time. It was flavourful to the point where
it can be eaten on its own or use it to dip into the butter chicken.

Desserts Station |
Meanwhile,
the following dishes can be improved for a better dining experience:
Roast
Beef Striploin. Although the
beef is cooked to medium, the meat was just cold and rubbery. I think
the heat lamp did not do the job and chewing on a cold roast meat is
something that you won't look forward to during the dinner.

Pasta.
The pasta came with the option
of black pepper sauce and cream sauce. I personally think they should
change it to a beef bolognaise sauce or maybe use the same sauce base
as beef gallatin.

The Landmark has cover more than 4,000 square feet dining area. These
include indoor dining, outdoor dining and also live stage area
outdoor. The indoor dining area is brightly lit, with a set up more
for formal dining, especially with the chandelier lighting plus black
and white theme. The outdoor seating has a less formal approach,
decorated with Mediterranean theme.

The
verdict, The Landmark provide a good food for a reasonable price.
Tulang Soup and Beef Gallatin are a definite must try. From price
point, it is definitely a must try place. Cheers!!
