Carnaval Chusas..chusrascr... Churrascaria!

Yesterday was a long day in the office. I was going home late as usual because of work and the guys decided to eat out yesterday. They were discussing where to go for buka puasa... and the name Carnaval was recommended by a colleague. She said you must go there!

Being a simple creature of Food and Women, we obliged!

Turned out we had the most wonderful time at Carnaval. The place was quiet and had a nice 80's atmosphere with simple decor and brazil pictures hanging on the wall.

When we arrived, the manager (an elderly chap) would greet us and ask if it is our first time. Like a bunch of virgin newly weds, we replied. He would then explain on how the restaurant operates and how to enjoy yourself. It is definitely worth to listen to the old man!

The food was amazing. I never thought Brazilian BBQ can be so mesmerizing and wonderful (minus the brazilian hostess). The food was painstakingly prepared to retain the authentic taste of Brazil and to offer the best in Brazil dining for us (minus the brazilian hostess). It was another level of dining yesterday. The food prepared was healthy food, no MSG, none of the meat tenderizers. All i can say was WOW! (minus the brazilian hostess)

There is no menu available. What they had was a half buffet (clear the salad bar) and a full buffet (clear the salad bar AND their meat selection). The salad itself had about 18 dishes. Brinjal, lady fingers, salad coleslaws, rice... to many to write down and remember!

The chefs will make their rounds bringing with them the meat selection one at a time for you to pick. And the food just keep on coming. We had everything that was brought forward to us. The lamb, meat, chicken, garlic bread with sour cream just melts in your mouth. The fish, goes well with bbqed pineapple and the assorted salad bar with fried brinjal and pasta, vegetables and onions. It really complemented the whole dining experience.

We came expecting nothing and returned as happy men!

I didn't have a camera with me, except for my lousy 2MP on my phone. The picture didn't do justice to the food so i'm not going to post them.

This little experience was RM 150++ for the 3 of us. (about 50+ each).

Great place to hang out with friends and just enjoy food, BBQ style!
