Located on the beachfront, the Sunset Bar is a quaint establishment offering diners an al fresco environment to enjoy the South China sea breeze while they eat. For starters check out the Lite Bites which offer an array of finger food including satay (a Malaysian favourite), Greek salad, spicy potato wedges and soup of the day. They also serve an array of sandwiches – try the tandoori chicken served in tortilla bread with cucumber yogurt. Kids will love the Sunset Burger, chargrilled with onions or the jumbo New York Hot Dog served with caramelized onions, mustard and home-made relish. Moving on the main course, the Sunset Bar can whip up a hearty charcoal-grilled Australian Ribbed Eye Steak or if you prefer something light, try the Grilled Seabass Fillet with spring onions and lemon dressing.
