Yum Yum, K108 Hotel
It's Friday evening and my husband and I went to Yum Yum restaurant, which is on the 10th floor of the K108 Hotel.
From the exterior the K108 looks clean and tidy despite being in a busy, noisy area.
As you walk up the stairs to the entrance you come face to face with a large white, glass, automatic door, as you walk through there are beautiful lanterns on the floor before you walk through another large white, glass, automatic door.
Once you've ascended to the 10th floor a kind gentleman open the glass doors to the restaurant. My initial thoughts were, wow, this place is very pretty!
A dimly lit restaurant, that has a clean fresh feel to it, mixed with nicely placed lanterns, embedded in coves in the wall, adding a warm glow to the room.
The menu is simple and on one page! But, it's still hard to make a decision because the food on offer is delicious! The drinks menu offers non-alcoholic cocktails; if you need alcohol with your dinner, this is not the place for you.
I opted for the Hammour with pumpkin and mushrooms (75QR), and my husband chose the lamb rack (95QR).
Within 15 minutes our food arrived, freshly cooked and on hot places - perfect!
The colourful, well-presented food tasted as good as it looked; it was fresh and extremely tasty.
Surprisingly I did not get a dessert, my main meal was very filling, but didn't leave me feeling bloated!
Conclusion
This is a wonderful find and very much a diamond in the rough; do not let the area deter you from going!
Negatives:
Make sure you get someone to park the car in the hotel's car park, otherwise you could be circling for a while trying to find a place to park!
Do not sit on a table beside the doors to let the smokers in and out! A beautiful view, until someone opens the doors to go out and smoke and we had hot sticky air blown over us, followed by smoke smell while they were puffing away!

Positives
The food is delicious, the service nothing short of excellent and the best part? When dining at Yum Yum you've donated to charity! A percentage of the hotel's profits is given to charity.
Service is excellent; staff are attentive but not over bearing. The chef wears a clean, white uniform complete with a large white chef's hat. A well presented chef is refreshing to see.
The tables have wonderful distances between them. No eaves dropping and you don't get distracted by anyone else.
The décor is clean, different and great for first dates, birthday's or even a meal for one!
Would I go again? Yes
Cost? Reasonable
Alcohol? No
Child friendly? Yes
