TemptAsian - Asian Fusion Restaurant at The Palace Hotel, Sliema, Malta.
Dinner on Saturday, 14th December, 2013.
It goes without saying that the hallmark of every luxurious hotel are its restaurants. Breakfast restaurants, lunch and dinner restaurants to cater for the majority of guests are normal and a necessity, but what really separates the serious players from the ordinary, is a spectacular, up-scale restaurant, through which the hotel in question will be able to showcase its culinary expertise. Such restaurants become destination venues for the more discerning diner. Such a restaurant is TEMPTASIAN - Asian Fusion Restaurant, which has gone a step further through its chic layout and set-up, private curtained-in dining tables, lounges, and tables overlooking the spectacular, panoramic views of Sliema and Grand Harbour, from the 9th floor of The Palace Hotel.

Sunday buffet lunch on Sunday, 1st December, 2013.
It has been a while since we reviewed this restaurant, and going by the amazing success that the InterContinental's young team of chefs have achieved in the recent Malta Kulinarja competitions, it was about time that we gave this establishment another visit for their Sunday buffet lunch.
The buffet lunch at Harruba was a late starter this year, having opened its doors on the 20th of October, rather than the more traditional first Sunday of that month.
