6:40pm arrived
Arrived at the FIVE Hotel far from home, since I was hungry and fasting we went directly to search for the NUMA restaurant where we had a reservation. But again I am not making any reservation (was forgot) but the hostess was kind enough to make a quick booking for my brother and me. SAN - was helping us to make the booking while we peeked around the restaurant, the restaurant is beautiful, especially its outdoor area. The breeze and night view complete with Ramadan lights are just beautiful I started to like this place. Another lady named SAMI - assigned a table for the both of us. At first, she gave us a seat which contact with the other guests and I didn't feel good about it so she gave us another option which was at the corner and accessible.
Started from the beginning entering the hotel, Ohh no no, started with exiting the taxi until the restaurant itself I was impressed by how excellent their services were. The bellboy, and the employees in the restaurant especially the hostess are giving outstanding service and I feel so much welcome.
20 minutes after we sat and enjoyed our first dish (salad) the employee named (lady - EKA) came to our table to check the quality of the food and our experiences so far here which is great. I was not expecting her will come again to our table to check if we needed anything else to help with and yes she came back to our table exactly 20 minutes after her first visit. It was impressive, the amount of professionalism and understanding of the job description and how to make the guest feel welcome just way far for the next level as a five-star.
The night was even more wonderful, the services, the employees, the smile, and their politeness just created this magical experience. Even how hard I tried to look for an error in every aspect belive me or not there is none. Yeah for this I telling you the truth. This is truly impeccable and the professionalism they have shown is just the next level.
And here are my reviews about their buffet options;
Mango and prawn salad
- so fresh and the prawn also cooked just right, the tikka flavor is delicious
Spicy yakiniku beef salad
- nice and super soft beef, perfect bite-size for a salad
Singaporean Prawn Curry
- wow! The taste is bloody delicious!! Must taste! Must take away! Haha
Chinese Lo Mein
- this tastes exactly like home! Praised the chef who made it
Grilled chicken
- despite the great taste of the grilled chicken, their tamarind sauce is just so sour be careful if you decide to take it do not pour it on your chicken or else you will just end up the same as me, stop eating it and squeezing my face off lmao

We decided to chill and have quality time here, enjoying the breeze and the wonderful restaurant, I observed all their employees and how they served the guests with a huge smile and polite gestures. After sometimes we finally completed our reviews and again I said “I CAN’T find any FLOP” Everything was just PERFECT!!
Eka was passing by our table for a final check if ever we wanted to order something to drink such as coffee or tea, we decided to order some teas. We had a chat for some time because I was interested in getting to know her even more, I told her how good she was handling the guest with those big smiles and a tentative manner. Shockingly she told me it was her 8 months to work in this restaurant which made me feel shocked to hear. For all the information she has and all that knowledge about the hotel, food until the timing is just unbelievable. NUMA was lucky enough to have her join their team. I thought at the very beginning if she was a supervisor of the restaurant. And yet she told me she was just a colleague and pointed to another guy who was her supervisor.
Not just that I wanted to send a special HANDS DOWN to a PASTRY TEAM and PASTRY CHEF for their DELICIOUS - amazing - crazy - awesome DESSERTS!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
