Magna Carta

Posted by Salt Pepper |

For those who already know Magenta, Magna Carta is operated by the same owner of Magenta as Magenta now has already closed down. What a coincidence that the name of the restaurant have the same first three (3) characters, 'Mag' and ends with the same two (2) characters, 'Ta'. From Wikipedia, the word 'Magna Carta' actually means it is an English charter, originally issued in the year 1215, and reissued later in the 13th century in modified versions which omit certain temporary provisions, including the most direct challenges to the monarch's authority (source from Wikipedia).

Forgetting about the history, let's move on to the restaurant itself. Magna Carta is now located at the old courthouse opposite the Kuching Waterfront. Upon walking in, you could not miss the menu which is displayed on a big blackboard. Hmmm....are they going green? So if you want to make an order, you will have to stand and order. As you can see there are a few dining tables placed near the blackboard. It really feels awkward if you sit near those dining tables because it would feel like other people keep looking at you although in actual fact, they are looking at the menu. Who knows they are checking out how the foods look like... *smile with tongue out

The restaurant only has one window overlooking the waterfront area. From that window, you can have a great view of our magnificient Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) building but unfortunately that night the lights are not really switched on. Therefore in the end, we chose to sit outside along the corridor. The staffs there are very friendly. Salt ordered Spaghetti Carbonara and Pepper ordered Beef Stroganoff With Buttered Rice as it was recommended by the staff. We didn't wait quite long for the foods to come.

Spagetti Carbonara is nice but the portion is a bit less. The Beef Stroganoff With Buttered Rice is nice, the beef is tender, not hard. Halfway through the meal, Salt suggested to order a Pepperoni pizza. Maybe he is still hungry due to the small portion of his meal. Pepper likes pepperoni :-) (It rhymes...No wonder she is called Pepper). This is how the pizza looks like.

We enjoyed the whole meal at Magna Carta. Not forgetting the restaurant is a WIFI zone. After having our dinner, we sat down and relaxing while enjoying the wi-fi service provided.

WIFI Zone Area

There is one room in Magna Carta called Privacy Chamber. What do you think is this room for? Private room for private and large gathering? For those who don't understand this signage will have a hard time finding the washroom.
