Borak-Borak at Bora Asmara

I was not in a good mood this afternoon, so my other-half brought me here for dinner and borak-borak to cool off. Of late, I keep having this stupid mood swing and it is irritating me and of course, my ever so loving other-half too. I can sometimes get over-cranky over small things. Don’t know why, just don’t know why…

Wati told me this place is cooling and attractive. The owner of the place is also the owner of Bora Ombak, Ampang Sports Planet, KL. Same Balinese concept, same front name, same foodstuff. No doubt, same owner. Only this one is larger and more tranquil. It serves a wide selection of food ranging from Indonesian, Thai, local foods to steaks and pastas. The prices are reasonable too.

Imagine Bora Asmara, imagine Bali. Except that Bora Asmara is not in Bali, of course. It nestles in the quiet Kampung Sungai Penchala, approximately 25km away from Kuala Lumpur city. If you are travelling on Penchala Link heading towards Kota Damansara, go down the ramp after the Penchala Link tunnel and turn right at the traffic lights. After that, just follow the signboards. If you still can’t find it, try this - Bora Asmara, Lot 2933, Kg. Sg. Penchala, Kuala Lumpur or call +603-77260964. Someone will help you find the way.

As I stepped into the restaurant through a wooden entrance, I was greeted warmly by one of the waiters. I was amazed at how beautiful the place was. Screw the stupid mood swing and crankiness, this place was just so cool and refreshing I sort of forgot the rock I was weighing on my shoulders. I didn’t think anyone would ever want to think of anything else but have a good time here. As for me and my soulmate, we really had a good borak-borak session at the dinner table. A very goooood one. We talked about… well, can’t tell ya! Ooops… sorrryyy!

You may need to visit this room once in a while. Clean and lovely washroom.

One of their many attactive huts (pondok) called Bisek-Bisek

Due to high demand, you need to make a reservation first if you wanna ‘whisper-whisper’ at the Bisek-bisek. The huts are always packed full especially during weekends.

Non-smoking air-conditioned dining all for diners who can't stand cigarette smoke.

Open-air dining ares for those who smoke and yet need fresh air to fill their rotting lungs.
