Zende - Semantan

Breakfast was huge... from cereals to fruits to muffins... and many more... amazing taste and great service to be enjoyed!! Great Malaysian cuisine to taste for people like us who are from outside the country...

A wide spread of buffet was the most interesting part about this restaurant, fresh fruits, indian food(south indian), eggs, tea, coffee, dimsums and a wide spread of bakery products. Overall a good place to dine in

Zendē is the main resto of Seri Pacific Hotel if I'm not mistaken. If you're a guest, like us who checked in to this hotel, chances are you'll be having breakfast here. The place is done nicely, very spacious and good interior design. If you're in the elevator, it gives you a clear vista of the entire place. The dishes are stationed well that you won't be overwhelmed with every dish, rather it gives you a breathing space to savor every preparation. By hotel standard, some may remark it's limited, but for a breakfast offering there is more than enough, specially because the preparation is predominantly Malaysian cuisine, which means it's a heavy breakfast feast if you were like me who would make it a point to sample everything. <br/ <br/ With the exemption of the fruit desserts that were a bit wanting in the sweetness department, a diner would definitely appreciate the experience of tasting real Malaysian cuisine and some delectable fusions that are better deflectors of the rich flavours of the local cuisine. <br/ <br/ By far, Zendē has shown better standard in hospitality services, which I have noticed is very rare in Malaysia. Anywhere I went, people either have dour expressions as if you are a big bother, or an expression of impatience, or boredom. The ladies who made sure that the guests were on their lists were friendly and courteous, and so were the waitstaff working the floor, making sure that the tables were bus every time. Thank goodness for these staff, you gave me hope that Seri Pacific Hotel is not overlooking this facet of their business. It maybe small but its rarity made me appreciate Zendē so much : it made our dining experience even more better on top of the good food : <br/ <br/ PS: no food photos since I was afraid of offending the guests who were so serious early in the morning :D
