* This restaurant is no longer in business.*
When Hardwicke House first open, I think of going due to the many forwarded emails are flying around, mentioning on the buy 4 free 1 buffet. However, I did not go. Later, Jason sent out an invitation on a review session for Hardwicke House. Of course, I am accepting the invitation.
Mary is the driver again for this food review session. We parked the car just in front of the restaurant (Free Parking!). Lunch Buffet is from RM18++ and Dinner Buffet is from RM38++. Dinner Buffet is come with the BBQ while Lunch Buffet without.
Just after we reached, the coffee are already on the table for us to take the photo. Cappuccino (RM 5.50), Cafe Latte (RM 6.50) and Espresso (RM 3.80). Besides these 3, for those who like the Regular Black (without photo), you can get it at the price of RM3.80.
Flat White (RM 4.80).
Sachet of Caffe Espresso that you can grab from Hardwicked House. Of course, you need to pay for it.
Besides, you also can get the regular coffee from the buffet section.
For this food review session, we have the chance to try out the wine, Thanks to Mr Balan. For each of the wine, Mr Balan explained the details to all of us, including the history and characteristic. Mr Balan also guided us the steps by steps to taste the wine.
This is the first wine of the night, Friulvini Verduzzo (RM 55.00). It goes well with the starter before entering the main course. It has a straw yellow with greenish reflections. Many of us seems to like this wine very much.
Photo courtesy of FoOd PaRaDiSe. I only manged to take one of the wine. I am busy eating and forget about the other 2: Terranoble Sauvignon Blanc 2005 (RM 63.00) and Schubert Hardwicke Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 (Promotional Price: RM60; Retail Price: RM118.00).
Terranoble Sauvignon Blanc 2005 is yellow with some greenish tone while Schubert Hardwicke Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2002 is deeply colored. For more information on these 3 wines, do visit FoOd PaRaDiSe.
Salad bar.
Six different kind of salad dressing: Mayonnaise, Creamy French, Vinaigrette, Coleslaw, Creamy Italian and Thousand Island.
The pasta is a bit hard, I think it’s due to the open air. Maybe can have the pasta inside a tray with a cover on top.
Soup of the day. It will be nice if the bun can be softer. I like those soft bun which is just out from the oven.

Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at urbancrestemporium extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.
Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at goldenshorestore maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.
Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at neonbuycenter similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at mysticthreadstore also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at radiantfieldcollective confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.
Once I had read three posts the editorial pattern was clear, and a look at urbanharborcollective confirmed the pattern from a fourth angle, sites where the underlying approach reveals itself through accumulated reading rather than being announced are sites with real depth and this one has that quality clearly visible across multiple pieces consistently.
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at goldenharvestlane extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
