Ole Ole Bali, Sunway Pyramid
It was Mikel’s birthday and I was summoned to join his birthday bash at Sunway Pyramid, together with 20 odd bloggers that I never know of, hear of and certainly, meet of. Can’t say no to the birthday boy as the party was held right on his birth date. Well, here’s a shout out to Mikel also know as Susu, SplashMilk and Louyau (Now defunct.).
The venue? Ole Ole Bali at Sunway Pyramid. It’s on the outer side of the building, along Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Magical Theater restaurant and beside Amazing Thai. There are quite a few Bali themed restaurant, mainly Bumbu Bali at Puchong, Jombali at Tesco Puchong and Sunway Pyramid’s Ole Ole Bali. According to Tony, the price at Ole Ole Bali is cheaper compared to Bumbu Bali.
Generally, the environment and ambiance of the restaurant are pretty good, with lots of paintings and handicrafts are used as decoration items. Lightings are nice, not too bright and yet not too dim. With big and huge cushion padded wooden chair, everything is pretty much comfortable.
There are western food and Balinese food on the menu, accompanied with random pictures of the food to give you a better idea what are you going to have if you order that. Every thing is pretty much served, from drinks to cocktails, western to Balinese, chicken to seafood, rice to noodles, salad to soups, appetizers to desserts, grilled to stir fried and etc.
Iced barley lime was my default drink for the night. Nothing special, but absolutely refreshing. I had three glasses in total. RM5 per glass or RM15 per jug.
I also ordered deep fried cuming cuming or more commonly known as deep fried calamari. Not that crunchy, but best to be eaten as starters or while you are having your main course. The batter used to deep fried the calamari tasted still acceptable and also the mayonnaise (Or was it tar tar sauce?) sauce complimenting the finger food while tantalizing your taste buds at the same time. The portion is rather huge too. RM12 per serving.
As for the main course, I opted for Nasi Campur Ole Ole, which is basically mixed rice with a variety of dishes. The dishes that came with my mixed rice were grilled prawns, grilled squids, pan fried dory fish, chicken rendang, sauteed kangkung, chicken satay wrapped around a stick of lemon grass (Bali’s version of satay lilit.), a plate of rice cake with long beans (Bali’s version of coleslaw, perhaps.), two different types of chilies, a big piece of anchovies crackers and of course, a very small portion of rice. RM30 for this dish.
Don’t look down at the small portion of the side dishes. By the time I finished everything on the plate, I was really full. Been to Bali twice, I would say the food served by Ole Ole Bali’s kitchen tasted far better than those in Bali itself. Again, thumbs up for their huge portion, generous servings and prompt service.
As for desserts, I had grass jelly with rambutans, served in lemon grass sweet syrup. Nice.
Will I return to visit this restaurant? Definitely, especially when I am around Subang or Sunway Pyramid area. The price might be a little on the high side, but considering that they are operating at the new Sunway Pyramid 2, for the huge portion, prompt and friendly service, it is still acceptable.
I heard there’s this restaurant with lab incubator and hospital theme around the area too.

Chingy : Ole Ole is not in Bali, but in Sunway Pyramid. Also, the food you are going to eat in Bali is very different from what you see in the picture. :P
Felicia : Rest assured that the portion is big enough for two small eaters. Ha! You can add extra rice for RM1 or RM2. Yes, it’s something like that, but this one tastes much better.
Michy : Yes, 2 months ago! LOL.
Robin : LOL. You should have foresee that before typing jasonmumbles.com in your address bar.
Zthon : Haha! I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. :P
Kim Fei : According to another blogger, the price at Ole Ole is slightly cheaper than Bumbu Bali. So, maybe you can check it out yourself?

Allison : Tonight is the update. Yes, should be tar tar sauce. Heh!
Sarah : Haha! Yes yes, come Malaysia for food, Singapore doesn’t have good food. :P
Jian : Haha! Yes, do try and tell me about it.
Sean : LOL.
MerDurian : Haha! Another blogger told me its slightly cheaper than Bumbu Bali. I never been to Bumbu Bali, so I can’t compare the price. ;) Anyway, I still recommend it.
Simmy : Haha! Shhhhhh… Tomorrow is the day for the post.
