To unwind after a long day, Eastern & Oriental Hotel offers tapas reinvented at their Poolside Terrace. We had the opportunity to try these delectable morsels recently and walked away very pleased indeed.

We kicked things off with a Bruschetta Platter which consists of 5 different tapas, priced at RM50 (wine ordered seperately) The platter includes:-
Creamy Saute Mixed Mushrooms,
Marinated Air-Dried Beef
Smoked salmon, crispy capers, sour cream, pickles cucumber
Marinated green olive with roasted almonds, mixed herbs, garlic
Guacamole with tortilla chips


Serving the tuna tartar in our traditional ‘pie tee’ tart shells was a playful twist to this dish, lending a nice crunchy element.

Cooked with beef chorizo, caramelized onions and red chilli
The addition of beef chorizo to the cocktail potatoes were a welcome twist to the dish. I’m a fan of potatoes and caramelized onions so this was right up my alley.

Bresaola, chilli, parmesan cheese, Italian parsley and served with toast

The Marinated Air-dried Beef was a delight. I enjoyed the salty briny flavours with a hint of spiciness. Delicious when paired with the toast served on the side.

Cooked in olive oil, garlic, red chilli and italian parsley, served with toast
The Spicy Garlic Prawn was a crowd favourite, bouncy and juicy prawns bursting with flavour. I also enjoyed dipping the toast in the olive oil that has been infused with the fragrant flavours from the prawns.


Deep fried Indian potato dumpling, mango chutney and raita
