Magenta, Kuching

When it comes to great food and a cosy environment, a few restaurants come to my mind. One of them is Magenta Restaurant - tucked away in the corner of Jalan Nanas, Kuching.

One of the most significant things you will notice about Magenta is its lighting and deco. Lighting are strategically placed around the restaurant to create a dimmed but cosy and relaxed ambiance. Each table is equipped with your typical floating-in-cup candle.

The restaurant also emphasizes a lot on sprucing up the environment with beautiful deco to enhance your dining experience. You can find framed pictures, mirrors, potted plants and even statues.

Not to forget the main purpose of the visit, the food is well presented and mouth watering. The Classic Chicken Chop Aurora comes with chicken chop (duh!) topped with onion rings, pineapple slices and bruschetta bread with salad on the side. The chicken chop was tender and juicy, cooked almost to perfection. The only complain was the soggy onion rings.

The Mango Salmon however, was rather plain. Although it clearly indicates "Mango" in the menu, there wasn't any mango flavour in it. Or perhaps I should have pinched more salmon from my friend. If you are a heavy eater, you will find that the Mango Salmon dish is rather small in portion.

Nevertheless, Magenta is a fantastic restaurant to satisfy all your gastronomical fantasies. From a wide range of healthy fruit juices to alcoholic coffees, small snacks to main courses and grilled meat. I will always have room for Magenta in my stomach.
