Homec Restaurant


Alhamdulillah, finally the weekend is here and I am going to enjoy the moment until it is time to finally deal face to face with 5 pending assignments, scary right? Alright, put my workloads aside and now it is time to blog about Homec Restaurant, yummy!


This is a truly exclusive fine dining restaurant in the University of Malaysian Prince (UPM) and it is open only on Thursday from 10.30 AM until 2.30 PM. Homec Restaurant is located at the ground floor level of Block B, Faculty of Educational Studies (Fakulti Pengajian Pendidikan, my faculty!) and is operated by the students of Bacelor Pendidikan Sains Rumah Tangga. These are the students who will be teaching Ekonomi Rumah Tangga (ERT) for secondary schools in Malaysia so I presume that Homec Restaurant is a part of their coursework for this semester.


The theme for last week was Modern Malay cuisines and the set up of the restaurant was fantastic! I can truly experience FIVE STARS service in an intimate setting accompanied by traditional Malay music which actually levitated my desire to taste the food. The appetizer was "tauhu sumbat" and I must admit that it was kind of awkward for me to "attack" the appetizer without knowing which forks and spoons to begin with, funny!


This is the drink for the day, Orange Sunquick juice with Nata de Coco. You can choose two sets of the cuisines;


Set A which comprises of Nasi Keju with Ayam Masak Merah, Dalca Sayur and Papadom or


Set B with Nasi Keju, Ayam Masak Hitam, Dalca Sayur and Papadom. No worries of humiliating yourself once you have accidentally break the rules of table manners! The chicken has already been nicely sliced for our comfort but mind you that "Ayam Masak Merah" is quite spicy for me ;)


These are the Food Critics for the session, Rina, Qing Yi, Yong Cun and me. 


Right after the main course was digested, we were served with puding sagu gula Melaka for the desert, super scrumptious! 



Then last but not least, we were served with either coffee or tea for closure. Please guess how much was the total cost per set for a person? Well, believe it or not...it is RM 11.90 only for a true fine dining experience right in this campus! The price is truly reasonable for students like us so I urge all of you to try this restaurant next Thursday. 


The theme would change every week and next time would be special for Western dishes. My friends and I are seriously going there dressed up for the function and who knows that there will be somebody playing violin right next to our table right? And please reserve your table by calling the number stated above because the seat is selling fast...unless you want to queue up outside, seriously ;0
