RIMBAYU IJM LAND ~ Host Grand 'Harvest Joy & Unity Under The Moon' Mid-Autumn Celebration At The ARC @ Bandar Rimbayu Kota Kemuning Teluk Panglima Garang Selangor

IJM LAND HOSTS GRAND
'HARVEST JOY UNDER THE MOON'

MID-AUTUMN CELEBRATION

Happy Hong Family Of Bloggers

Mid-Autumn is the time where family gather and reunite to celebrate when the moon is at its fullest. To the Chinese, a full moon symbolises happiness and prosperity. For the uninitiated, this celebration may seem to only revolve around beautiful lanterns and mooncake. But, in real, it is more than just that as the Mid-Autumn celebrations were originally a harvest festival to worship the Moon.

Enchanting Celebration Under The Moon

My family and I headed over to the Harvest Joy & Unity Under The Moon Mid-Autumn Celebrations at THE ARC, Bandar Rimbayu last weekend for a night full of festivities. There were so many things to do there and it was beautifully decorated for picture taking.

Beautiful Lovers' Bridge

The Lovers' Bridge, which resembles the love story and  sympathetic to sacrifices  of Chang'E to Hou Yi back in the ancient years. Beautifully lit with LED lights, this bridge was carefully designed to fit the Mid-Autumn celebrations theme.

Garden by The Creek and Mystical Forest

Lantern Bedecked Gardens of The ARC, Bandar Rimbayu

Absolutely love the view and the decorated garden with lights! This place is perfect for a stroll with the family after dinner while enjoying the cooling breeze. The mystical ambience and multi-coloured lanterns were the key features of this set-up. The forest was filled with lush greeneries as far as the eye can see.

Picturesque Scenery At The ARC Bandar Rimbayu

Guests were treated to a feast of local delicacies along with a complimentary selection of dainty gourmet mooncakes and fresh pomelos while being serenaded by a Chinese orchestra that played a selection of contemporary tunes. Children were also able to partake in the activities with a special Mini Barbecue area where they were able to enjoy tasty grilled treats.

Chinese Orchestra Performance

Food Stalls

There were many food stalls to feed the growling tummies! Residents and guests were treating to local favourites such as fried kuey teow, nasi tomato with ayam masak merah, satay, popiah, mooncakes, Malay kuih-muih and much more to whet everyone's appetite. 

One Of The Stall - Nasi Tomato With Ayam Masak Merah

My favourite stall has to be the nasi tomato with ayam masak merah. The food was delicious and I have second helpings to the flavourful and spicy chicken dish. 

Colourful Garden of The ARC, Bandar Rimbayu

The night view was even more enchanting and magical. After the mini feast, we took a stroll down to the creek. My family and I spent our time posing for pictures as the garden looked amazing having transformed into a mystical fairy tale forest with the brightly lighted colourful lights together with the cute giant lanterns too.

Mandatory Pose At The Lovers' Bridge

The night view was astounding and children were enjoying themselves with paper lanterns and sparklers around the park. There were a few competitions held such as a pomelo peeling contest and treasure hunt. These are great bonding opportunities and perfect ways for parents to spend some time with their children.

Giant Animal Lanterns

There were a few giant lanterns in the shape of panda, rabbit and tortoise for photo opportunities. The children especially the younger ones were pretty excited once these giant adorable-looking were lighted up simultaneously and the whole garden was so bright and pretty!

My favourite was, of course, the giant panda lantern as it matches my outfit of the day!

Uncle Hong, my hubby and I find the panda lantern the cutest and decided not to miss out on taking a few pictures with it.

 

More Enchanting Landscape

Guests were also able to take a leisurely stroll along a series of intricately landscaped, moonlit paths. Apart from that, the guests enjoyed the sightseeing of beautiful Garden by the Creek and the Mystical Forest. Roiling coils of smoke, giant lanterns in all shapes and sizes gently swaying in the wind and strings of beautiful lights bedecked the trees and landscape, offering a host of exciting photo opportunities for friends and loved ones alike.

Attractive-Looking Butterfly Lantern 

My daughter, Clarrisha fell in love with this dazzling beautiful butterfly lantern at the garden and we both spent quite awhile snapping our camera and doing selfies with our handphones that night.

All-Too Pretty Giant Flower Pink Lantern

IJM Land has put in a lot of effort to decorate the area and we really had a great time bonding at the Mid-Autumn celebrations last weekend. My family and I will be looking forward to more outing at The ARC Bandar Rimbayu to share and spend more memorable and quality time together as a family. 

“Bandar Rimbayu is not just a place to live, it's more than that. When you stay at Bandar Rimbayu, you become part of a wholesome, thriving and welcoming community that embraces the bonds of family members, friendship and fellowship,” said Susan Teh, Sales and Marketing Senior Manager at Bandar Rimbayu. The Mid-Autumn Festival is the perfect time to foster these bonds of community and share a joyful time together with family members, fellow residents, and friends.

All-in-all, it was a meaningful event, truly touching moments as family members, children young and old alike, people of all races comes together to gather and celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival on this lovely and peaceful evening at the Magical Forest of The ARC Bandar Rimbayu organised IJM Land.

 About The BAR°N @Pavilion KL

The culinary menu at The BAR°N is also a gastronomic tour de force. Because quality dining is no small matter, The BAR°N takes prides in all it has to offer on its menu, from small plate offerings such as Crispy Pork Belly, Candy Bacon Platter, and Pork Satay (to name just a few) to main courses of Oven-roasted Baby Back Pork Ribs, Australian Rib-Eye Steak and All-American Wagyu Beef Burger.

 Tomahawk Steak 
 The Ultimate Full Flavoured Steak
RM 288

THE BAR°N takes its steaks seriously by offering Tomahawk Steak – The Ultimate Full Flavoured Steak in their menu, an absolute pure indulgence for meat lovers. Diners would enjoy the Tomahawk, which is cooked perfectly to just the right degree for a tender, juicy bite by Head Chef Marcus .

2" Thick Steak ~ Weighs Between 850gm & 1kg

If you are probably wondering what is a Tomahawk Steak? It's the Ultimate ‘Wow-Factor’ Steak. Named because it allegedly resembles the Tomahawk axe. This beauty is a richly marbled, full rib eye steak attached to a long, exposed bone. Each steak is the width of a rib bone which results in a generous cut about 2" thick. Each Tomahawk served at THE BAR°N weighs between 850g and 1000g – dependent on the cut.

Ultimate 'WOW-FACTOR' Steak

The Tomahawk is cut based on the thickness of the rib bone and is usually 5cm/2 inches thick. A Tomahawk makes an ideal sharing steak for a special occasion or romantic meal, as it can easily feed two to three people. 

As it is bone-in Rib Steak, it gives out loads of flavour when cooked, as flavours are released during roasting to give a sweet gelatinous flavour. An infusion of juices from the bone into the meat elevates the depth of flavours, whilst maintaining a juicy and tender interior. So if you like bone-in steaks such as T-bone or Porterhouse, you’ll love the Tomahawk Steak.

Portobello Mushrooms

Served alongside with the Tomahawk steak is the house made herb sauce by Chef Marcus and grilled Portobello mushrooms.

 Pigs in Blankets

RM 19

 

Diners can also get their appetites going for more with their ala-carte menu food such this must-have juicy and tender  Pigs in Blankets. Perfect flavourful bite-sized sausages to go with icy cold beer.

Ultimate Cocktail Party Hors d'oeuvre

Candy Bacon Platter

RM 29

Bacon lovers, you will love the Candy Bacon Platter. It's an addictive favourite for many, an absolute sinful treat to eat. The candied bacon is crispy, sweet and salty, making it the ultimate cocktail party appetiser. Men especially go wild over this sweet and salty treat.  

 Crispy Pork Belly

RM 29

Crispy Pork Belly is a choice pick tapas that pair well with wines, cocktails, beers and liquor. Their signature dish is both delicious and addictive with a good ratio of fat and lean meat, tasting similar to the Chinese roast pork aka Siew Yok but with the saltiness toned down.  

 Oven-baked Portobello Mushrooms with Bacon, Tomato and Cheese

RM 29

If you are a great fan of  portobello mushrooms, this dish will go well with your taste buds. Savour it once served while it still warms for the melt-in-mouth sensation of the cheesy cheese. 

 Oven-Roasted Baby Back Pork Ribs

 RM 59

We loved these Oven-roasted Baby Back Pork Ribs. They are meatier than spare ribs, with a stronger meat-to-bone ratio. Well seasoned and marinated with the perfect flavour of oven-roasted pork ribs. Finest pork ribs are baked for a full two hours in the oven to fork-tender with the marinade also helps to tenderise the meat and allows the flavour to penetrate in before it's oven roasted.  

Get ready to sink your teeth into the succulent slab of baby pork ribs that's indulged with satisfying meaty goodness at every level. I loved the tender texture infused with a savoury, smoky flavour with accompanying sauce was sweet and sour, bringing out the best in their ribs.

Feast with the sights and sounds while treating myself to the sizzling live visual performance of a handsome young waiter as he uses a blow torch to caramelize the ribs. Haha... if you love ribs, and you love fire, then you will love even more an intensified flame 'burning' the baby ribs prior to serving.

 Coffee Pork Ribs

RM 45

Coffee and pork ribs. Who would have thought that such an unlikely combo? Definitely, an off-the-beaten-path look that goes with the off-the-beaten-path taste. First time tasting this coffee flavoured meaty dish and I didn't enjoy it at all. 

Bon Appetit With Auntie Lilly
