Alamanda @ night

My family and me went out for dinner last weekend at Alamanda since they have not been to this place before. I must say, the view is quite nice especially around the lake. Most of the eateries are located by the lake and this provide a breathtaking views for the patrons.

During the day, the view is not that spectacular - maybe because it's too hot outside to enjoy it. I think it's a good place to bring the family for early dinner and perhaps you catch sunset too - sunset dining, that's a romantic idea (provided you don't bring the kids along).

I think Alamanda is a good place to bring family. There are ample parking spaces and it's not too far from the entrance to the mall. But judging from the cars parked that night, it'll soon run out of space.

One thing that Alamanda doesn't have is a cineplex. So folks in Putrajaya still have to travel to IOI Mall (nearest) to catch a movie. I wonder will there ever be a cineplex in Alamanda - looking at the design of the building, it doesn't look as if it was built with a cineplex in mind.

We had fish n' chips at San Francisco Fish Shop. Fish n' chips really brings back memories of my student days when I did my first degree in UK. Ahh... I can still remember that smell of malt vinegar they use back in UK. Somehow I couldn't find that same malt vinegar here in Malaysia. I tried most of what's available here but the taste ain't the same. I miss that fish n' chips with salt and vinegar...

Alamanda is a nice place to go - not too crowded and not too empty. Maybe next time we'll come here again, and maybe we'll catch the sunset, while strolling by the lake.
