The Spice Boutique
At the entrance to the café you'll find the Spice Boutique, where you can learn about and purchase some of the most exotic spices in Asia. The boutique features over 100 varieties of dried herbs and spices, with varieties of curry powders and other ingredients for you to take home.

Besides FOOD,

Spice Market Cafe is just like a small museum to me... 

spot it wise and u'll notice d mix-culture here...

which is 

MALAY...CHINESE...INDIAN...

perhaps BABA&NYONYA as well!!!^^

this is definitely a good strategy of them in promoting our culture of

" SATU MALAYSIA "

to people of the world~

The Interior of Dining Area(Indoor versus Outdoor)

Dining indoors in the air-conditioned dining room, you may enjoy the view of their kitchen theaters in which their chefs prepare the dishes that have been ordered.

nice MALAY traditional wear of one of their waitress~~

Outside Dining Area:

Guests dining outside are cooled by sea breezes. Outdoor seats are also available at special timber decks overlooking the sandy expanse of Batu Feringgi Beach.

 The café is right beside the unique free-form swimming pools, under a canopy of century-old rain trees that echo with the delightful sounds of chirping tropical birds.

The Food

Enjoy a sumptuous spread of Chinese, Indian, Western, Japanese and Malaysian favourites, plus up to 30 mouth-watering desserts. This heavenly buffet also features a wide selection of salads, vegetable antipasto, cold cuts, carvery delights and a ‘live’ cooking station. Culinary highlights include delectable offerings of sushi, sashimi, prawns, yabbies, crabs, scallops, meat dishes, freshly hand-pulled noodles and more prepared in various ways to whet diners’ appetite.
