#DINEWITHME: EIGHT @ LIDO HILL, JOHOR BAHRU

Hey everyone!
Here's another blog on my marathon birthday celebration. This blog will brings you to another restaurant that I have visited during my birthday month, which took place far away from the heart of Kuala Lumpur to the southern side. I am lucky to have many friends whom spend their precious time celebrating birthday for me and each of them surprised me with new dining experience in their very own way.

 One of the celebration took place at a British designed bungalow located at Lido Beach turned to a restaurant lounge - EIGHT LIDO. A place where couples remember a time when it was the most romantic spot in the city during their proposal here.


EIGHT LIDO has named itself after its location at Lido Beach combined with its house number. The restaurant has completely over-turned the perception towards what a typical Johor Bahru lounge should be. 

This sprawling mansion makes the restaurant a unique place that offers more than just dining and drinks. It is not only a desired destination for celebrations but simply to chill out. EIGHT LIDO is big on ambiance.

The restaurant caters both indoor and outdoor. You can enjoy the cool evening at the garden with a great glass of wine and the breeze of fresh air or let go of the stress and relax in a cozy ambiance inside. 








We reached quite late that night after catching a dinner somewhere else and came only for a drink. Without flipping much on the menu, I checked on the tapas lists while my dear friend in-charged for the wine order. If you are unfamiliar with the wine menu, don't worry! Mr. Prakash will assist you with your choice as he understands which wine pairs well with your order. 










I love mushrooms and I believed fans of mushrooms will too fall in love with their Champinones al ajillo. A dish made with button mushrooms sauteed in olive oil and butter garlic sauce, you will definitely mop up every delicious drop of the scrumptious sauce with the bread.

It was nice being seated outdoor at the garden, but I got uneasy half-time as the little friends "mr mozzies" tends to ruin the night. We left the place around 1.30am and called it a night with four cute red dots on my legs.

Overall, EIGHT LIDO is one perfect place for that special occasion or hangout with some friends over good food and wine.
