BuBu Cuisine
Fresh seafood to savour
IF FRESH is a flavour then BuBu Restaurant along Tengkat Tong Shin, Kuala Lumpur has got it down pat especially for its seafood dishes. The main ingredients are delivered to its doorstep fresh from the fishing port once every two days.
Affliated with the BuBu Long Beach Resort on Pulau Perhentian that is owned by Ken Cheah, the restaurant gets it shipment of seafood from one of the two major ports in Terengganu in Kuala Besut.
Popular: The grilled squid at BuBu.
“Our people and van will pick up the seafood selection and deliver it to the restaurant here on the same day. What we get may differ at times depending on what the fishermen bring in,” restaurant partner Gonzalo Ramirez said.
Every day there will be a selection of about six to eight types of fresh seafood awaiting on beds of ice for selection before it is grilled and marinated at the same time with some lemon and vinegar which results in a succulent and flavourful meal.
“The restaurant highlight is the grilled exotic seafood which may include blue marlin, barracuda, sole, baby octopus and squid. We also serve seafood as well as a selection of other food,” Ramirez said.
Many of these dishes cater to the local palate where they like their food a little spicy.
Two such dishes are the prawns sauteed in garlic and chilli flakes as well as the clams that has a touch of cili padi.
“It is interesting to somewhat localise the menu. Some people may be afraid of spicy food but most come to love the dishes and frequently dip breads into the dish’s leftover broth, sauce or oil,” he said, adding that the food was mostly Mediterranean influenced.
Cosy: BuBu is attached to Hotel Rae along Tengkat Tong Shin, KL.
Another highlight at BuBu is Le Chateaubriand, a grilled beef tenderloin that is generally about two to three inches thick.
“Generally, beef should be more than half an inch thick so that it does not lose its flavour when cooked. This is because thinly cut beef will lose its juices quicker,” Ramirez explained.
Due to its size, care is needed when cooking the Chateaubriand to avoid overcooking the outside while the inside remains raw.
At BuBu, the meat is roasted and turned occasionally in a charcoal grill and is best served medium-rare for that tender taste of good beef with a pink centre accompanied by fries.
To accompany the meal, Ramirez said the restaurant also has a wine list with “a little bit of everything”.
“We have a good selection of French and Spanish wines and also carry some Argentinian, Chilean, Italian, New Zealand and South African wines,” he said.
To go with the seafood, Gonzalo recommends a sauvignon blanc with low acidity while steaks should be taken with more round wines that are generally Old World with less fruit and more balanced.
He also said that wines from the region of Alsace in France, near the border or Germany, which is made from the Gewürztraminer grape are also usually favoured by Asians due to its fruity-floral bouquet.
“We have a 2008 vintage here. It is quite full bodied, more so than most other white wines. It has a floral scent and exotic lychee-nut flavour and deep-oily texture which makes it irresistable to many palates,” Ramirez said.

East Coast Malaysia, Perhentian Island
PIC Beckons Tourists To Perhentian Island
KUALA TERENGGANU, Dec 1 (Bernama) -- Crystal-clear seas apart from enchanting environment are among the attractions that draw some 2,000 tourists daily to Pulau Perhentian and its fringing islands.
This writer, who visited the island for the first time, was equally captivated by the peace and tranquility offered by this tropical island in the South China Sea.
The move by the Terengganu government and Tourism Ministry in conserving the island's biodiversity and that of its fringe islands like Redang and Kapas, has resulted in the encouraging number of tourist arrivals.
With only RM70 for a return trip, tourists can board boats from the Kuala Besut jetty to get to Pulau Perhentian Besar or Pulau Perhentian Kecil located some 20 km from the Terengganu coast.
PERHENTIAN ISLAND CHALLENGE 2010
Apart from the natural attractions, the other tourist draw to the island is the Perhentian Island Challenge (PIC) which is a joint effort by the government and private sector. PIC is an event staged to draw tourists particularly water sports enthusiasts to Pulau Perhentian.
PIC began as a team championship in 2004, drawing 103 participants. PIC staged its seventh edition last October.
Some 300 contestants from Malaysia and 11 foreign nations like Kenya, Switzerland and Mexico took part in this year's championship that had two categories - elite and novice.
Contestants in the elite category were required to run across the beach and hills for 20km including one kilometre swim from Pulau Perhentian Kecil to Pulau Perhentian Besar.
For those in the novice category, they need to run 13 km apart from climbing hundreds of steps to the windmill hill at Pulau Perhentian Besar.
MORE CHALLENGING
The winner in this year's elite category is Heidilee Muhammad, 27.
Heidilee, not a new face in the championship, said the race this year was more challenging and tougher.
"This year it was more challenging as the route was longer, furthermore we had to swim ...the foreign competitors were also great," the Sabah-born competitor told Bernama.
The locals were familiar with Heidilee or 'Dino'. His team had won the championship for four consecutive years from 2004 to 2007 before PIC was changed into an individual championship in 2008.
When asked the reason why he came back to the championship without fail, the Royal Malaysia Navy man said: "It is peaceful here, good for vacation...can forget about problems in the city."
Heidilee won the challenge in three hours and 30 minutes. He also won the overall PIC's champion crown and pocketed RM7,000 cash.
Meanwhile PIC director Rob Stott said the objective of making the event more challenging this year was achieved when many contestants had to drop out midway through the championship particularly during the swimming part.
"Out of 10 women who participated in the elite category, only three continued the race, seven of them dropped out during the swimming event. Ten of the men in the elite category also dropped out during the swim.
"It's the reflection of people's ability, we did not make any selection and the task was more than they anticipated," he said.
Stott said PIC's degree of challenges would be increased from year to year in the effort to draw those who like endurance sports and tough challenges.
"For a fact, we know they are those who do not come because they think PIC is too easy for them," he said.
BOON FOR LOCALS
PIC is always a boon for locals as this is the time where they could expect 'a windfall'.
Villager Shafie Zaki, 33, of Kampung Perhentian, said the PIC enabled the locals to earn some extra money before the monsoon season in October until January.
"This is the time where the villagers can set up food stalls and provide boats for rents for the visitors," he said.

The Perhentian Island Challenge (PIC) is a weekend-getaway adventure race that will feature two levels of outdoor-adventure racing on the beautiful island of Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu, Malaysia. Running for the 7th year, the Perhentian Island Challenge 2010 will be held from 15th to 17th October 2010.

Being more than just an adventure race, PIC introduces participants and visitors to the paradise with its pristine beaches and crystal waters, vast marine life, marine activities and of course local culture and cuisine of the villagers.

ANNOUNCEMENT - PERHENTIAN ISLAND CHALLENGE 2010
ANNOUNCEMENT – PERHENTIAN ISLAND CHALLENGE 2010
This is the time of the year to prepare for Perhentian Island Challenge 2010 (PIC 2010). Subject to approval from the State Government of Terengganu, PIC 2010 is scheduled to be held in Perhentian Island on 15th – 17th October 2010.
Over the past years we have been guilty of drumming down the event, making it too easy. This year we are going back to our original intentions to make it an endurance event to ‘Discover your Limits’.
This year we will have trail running and some swimming in the sea. Previously the event has been for teams of two, and as we shall dispense with using kayaks, this year will be an individual event.
We shall have categories for:
Elite men
Elite women
Novice men
Novice women
We shall be using trails on the big and small islands and to get from one island to the other we will either swim or use inflatable tubes. Where we have a swimming section then a buoyancy aid will be mandatory.
The event will start at the Kampong and then cross the sea channel to the big island where there will be a run which we anticipate to be 1 hour. Then it’s back to the small island and completes a run round the island with a bit of swimming thrown in. This we expect the front runners to complete in 2 hours.
As usual we will have our tented camp for accommodation for participants where meals will be served.
We are limiting the participants to 500 pax, of which 100 are reserved for the elite category. If we have fewer than 20 entrants for a category that category will be cancelled.
We are sending out this flyer to encourage you to participate and express your interest.
Our next flyer will provide the entry form and pricing.
Please do not hesitate to reply with your ideas to info@perhentianislandchallenge.com

Coral Bleaching
Coral bleaching is the whitening of corals, due to stress-induced expulsion or death of their symbiotic, zooxanthellae, or due to the loss of pigmentation within the protozoa. The corals that form the structure of the great reef ecosystems of tropical seas depend upon a symbiotic relationship with unicellular flagellate protozoa, called zooxanthellae, that are photosynthetic and live within their tissues. Zooxanthellae give coral its coloration, with the specific color depending on the particular clade. Under stress, corals may expel their zooxanthellae, which leads to a lighter or completely white appearance, hence the term "bleached".
Once bleaching begins, it tends to continue even without continuing stress. If the coral colony survives the stress period, zooxanthellae often require weeks to months to return to normal density.[3] The new residents may be of a different species. Some species of zooxanthellae and corals are more resistant to stress than other species.
