Golden Fried Calamari. (crispy)

Spicy Seafood spaghetti.

Duck Confitti spaghetti.

And lastly for refreshment; Soda Lemon Rose.

Marche @ The Curve

2009-12-20T18:46:00.003+08:00

After a long walk along the Curve's open flea market, it was almost dinner time... we decided to stop and try everyone's recommendation of Marche. Its a market concept, where you choose your fruits for juices, pasta for pasta dishes, fishes, meats as main and variety of side dishes.

With so many variety to choose from, we ended up with these...

Home-made Wild Mushroom soup as starter.

Catch of the day with baked potato (as side dish)

Turkey Breast with mashed potato & dinner roll.

Lastly for refreshments - Bundaberg Rootbeer and Strawberry Fruit juice (no ice, no added sugar water, no added water).

Aicheng Laksa @ The Curve

2009-12-20T18:33:00.003+08:00

Looking for a simple & fast bite during lunch time? Here's my visit to Aicheng Laksa at the Curve. Its not a very big place, but if you are looking to tasting local cuisine and not too heavy with the wallet/purse, Aicheng Laksa is a nice place to eat.

What better way than to drink Air Mata Kucing during a hot day. Here taken with the menu cover.

Here's a shot of the chicken herbal noodle. Its not too herbal.. not too watery. So, just right for my taste.

The Assam Stingray is nice. Not fishy at all. Comes with a plate of rice.

Nandos @ 1Utama Shopping Complex

2009-09-14T12:45:00.005+08:00

This fast food restaurant needs no introduction. Its famous and found in many shopping complexes around Malaysia. Nandos which are famous for their chilies sauce or Peri-Peri Sauces. I'm not going details on it as you can check out their interesting cartoon flash website at www.nandos.com.my.

I'm heading straight to their food. A recommendation for those that can't eat too spicy but still like a tingle of spice, go for the Mild peri-peri sauce chicken dish. If you have a liking for hot stuff, then go ahead for the Hot and Extra Hot Peri-peri. But the taste includes a little sourish tingle to it.

The fries are alright, thick and not too hard. But I don't fancy much on the salad side.

Room Eighteen @ Berjaya Times Square, KL

2009-08-29T10:11:00.006+08:00

A recently open Chinese restaurant over at Berjaya Times Square in Kuala Lumpur. Just located at the ground floor next to Guardian Pharmacy. Seems like a nice restaurant that knows its food cuisine. Almost dinner time, guess its a good place to try out the food. Later found out its actually a subsidiary of the famous Oriental restaurant Tai Thong.

The restaurant was having a promo package set. The promotion set that we took was the Wanton Noodle Soup as the main course, a small cup of coca-cola, a small cup of black herbal jelly as dessert and a small bowl of soak peanuts as tidbits.

Another order of fresh orange juice, to quench my thirst after long hot walk around the shopping mall. While to fill up my hunger, I tried the sweet braised meat with oily rice (char siew rice).

I would really recommend everyone to try the wanton noodles as its smooth and delicious! I'm very sure that they make the noodles themselves. Not forgetting the wanton, its big and very fulfilling.

Papa Johns @ IOI Shopping Mall, Puchong

2009-08-17T15:49:00.006+08:00

Lots of new shops are opening at the new wing of IOI Shopping Mall in Puchong. More ample car parks available at the underground parking, as well as the upper rooftop parking.

Lunch time is near and we opt to taste something new from the new wing area. Lots of variety, but the regular well-known are TGIF, Sakae Sushi(now will have a heat competition with sushi king at the old wing), Nandos (competition with Kenny Rogers' roasters), etc.

Seeing a new outlet open. Its called Papa Johns' Pizza. Thought of giving it a taste and review. Ordered the value meal package for 2. Consist of 2 beverage (coca-cola) glasses, 6 pieces of Bread sticks and a 9' (inch) original pizza. We chose the Fisherman's cove pizza. Since we have been eating chicken for 3 days in a row.. thought trying out the seafood for a change. We added a side order of Cheese sticks.

The bread sticks, are served with a tomato paste. And they also give a small plate of melted butter. It goes well with the pizza.

The cheese sticks are actually a small pizza filled with melted cheese topping.

The pizza comes with 2 pickled pepper chili. I think its sort of an appetizer.

Overall, a good pizza to eat. My next try would be to taste the thin crust pizza.

Tenji Japanese Buffet @ SoHoKL

2009-08-15T15:28:00.005+08:00

Here is another Japanese Buffet restaurant review. This restaurant has already been around and reviewed by lots of people for their freshness in seafood and also its creativity. My friends and I have the opportunity to visit and try out the food as well. The restaurant opens at 11.30am and closes for its morning/afternoon at 3.00pm. At the time we ate; the offer was at RM 77++ per person.

Even if you are not use to eating raw seafood, there are variety of cooked and fried dishes to choose from. Japanese pizza and spaghetti are also available. Since I am a sashimi lover, it is a definitely for me to feast on these fresh food. I do wish to comment however that the soyu or soy sauce is a little bit too salty compared to the usual sushi restaurants. Their wasabi is placed in small packaging but surprisingly its still fresh and tasty.

The oyster are also very fresh and very tasty. Do not forget to drink the freshly made coconut drink as it is healthy especially with nowadays cases of H1N1.

The dessert section is filled with a massive variety of cakes, cookies, sweetness galore and their ice-cream is from the best: Hagen Daaz

Do try out this Tenji Japanese Buffet. Its worth your every bite!

Little Taiwan @ 1Utama Shopping Complex

2009-06-27T21:54:00.007+08:00

Just over the opposite of Penang Flavours and Otak-Otak Place, there's this restaurant called Little Taiwan: Papa Beef and Mama Chop. It was almost dinner time, and we're hungry. So, just nice to try out some Taiwanese cuisine. Besides, they got big beef specialist wall posters that its pretty hard to take my eyes of them. So, if you like to eat beef; This is a good place to try.

They have lots of variety of beef dishes. Since I was hungry, I went for one of the recommended dishes called the Three Treasures Beef. Which they serve 3 different beef parts, plus rice with beef sauce and small sides of cucumber & tomato and acar. Amazingly, the service is pretty fast. But then, its possible that the tables aren't filled up yet since we ate a little early. At 5pm.

The other dish ordered was the Salted Chicken Chop. The small sides are of the same. Comes with white rice and the chicken chop isn't that salty but its crispy. just have to watch out for some bones. It uses the drumstick side - flattened and fried.

We ordered a wanton soup. Comes in 6 pieces. Has a few vegetables in it. The soup is ok. The wanton is a little bit small. Err.. I didn't manage to photo shoot the soup. I was dipping on my beef rice already at that time... urr.. hungry mah!

For the drinks, one was bubble red tea. Nothing special. The other is a strawberry shake. Its nice, not too sourish and not too sweet. Just nice. Recommended to try if you're a strawberry lover.

all this with 2 main dish and 1 small soup plus the 2 drinks. Total is just slightly below RM50.00 for 2 people's consumption.

I would come back again to try the other dishes as they have spicy and ramen dishes. Looks kinda spicy hot too.. hmmm... well, I'll put that review in when the time comes.

Penang Flavours @ 1Utama Shopping Complex

2009-06-27T21:38:00.006+08:00

Found a nice place to have some snacks between breakfast and lunch. Just before our movie show "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen". Found this restaurant just next to Otak-Otak Place. Thought we should try it out.

Since its a light snack, we didn't really order stuff like asam laksa or mee goreng which was listed in the menu as recommended dishes. Instead, we order recommended light dishes like Chee Cheong Funn, Tofu Bakar and Popiah wrap.

For drinks, I ordered cold limau kasturi. Its refreshing. But also a little bit too sour. But it won't be called a limau kasturi if its not sour, right?

Two (2) of the dishes we ordered are in the recommendation listed in the menu, denoted by pink stars. I really recommend you to try the Tofu Bakar and Popiah wrap. Among these 2 yummies; I recommend you to try the popiah. But of course its also rare to find places that serves Tofu Bakar. So, its worth a try as well.

The Chee Cheong Funn is a no go for me. Well, I don't fancy sweet sauce over the Funn. There is actually another similar dish of Chee Cheong Funn. But its with curry chicken. I think having a curry chicken at a little wee morning is not a good idea for my stomach.

Definitely worth to come back to try the main dishes the next time round as I heard one of the waiter making arrangement for a reserved table for a family of 10 people. Must a some of the other main dishes that attracts the crowd. Probably the asam laksa.

Umai-Ya Restaurant @ Damansara Uptown

2009-06-17T11:13:00.006+08:00

It was a fine Sunday morning where 8 of us gathered for an early morning-noon brunch. With our empty stomachs, we head out to a Japanese restaurant located in Damansara Uptown. Just next to Starbucks and HSBC bank. The name of the restaurant is Umai-Ya Restaurant. And why are we there is that its serving Buffet style, with a difference. You order your buffet style thru a menu. Instead of the normal, all food display on a bar for you to pick.

And did we order a lot! The lunch starts at 11.30am and ends at 2.30pm. And that's how long we stayed at the restaurant! I'm just going to put some of the dishes we ate only. But all of them are recommended. Some, errr.. I didn't manage to photo shoot it in time as we gobbled it up before it reaches the table.

I can't really remember all the dishes name as well. But don't worry, I will include the restaurant's website in here as well and you can take a look at the menu there as well and its names.

I'd highly recommend the salmon sashimi. Its very fresh and thickly sliced. The unagi is also very fresh and tasty. For drinks, you have 3 choices; Ocha(green tea), coke and tiger beer (free flow).

If you eat beef, you should also try it. Its very tender and nicely cooked. Else, the chicken teriyaki, cold baby octopus, and soft crabs are also mouth watering.

For desserts, I would really recommend you all to try the green tea ice-cream, chocolate ice-cream and especially the wasabi ice-cream. If you love wasabi, you will definitely love the wasabi ice-cream.

All for this lunch buffet, its priced at RM48++ (as of June 2009). Its really worth it as the portion and serve per plate much like out of the menu. So, its not like the normal buffet style you have at Shogun (though, I have to review on that yet).

Its really worth the try. Here is their restaurant's website and the promotion they are advertising. http://www.umai-ya.com/buffet.php

Wasabi Ice-Cream

Otak-Otak Place @ 1Utama Shopping Complex

2009-06-01T14:49:00.006+08:00

Feeling hungry after a morning movie of Monster vs. Aliens at 1Utama Shopping complex. Head out to the new wing that lines up with lots of new restaurants. Its nearby the Cold Storage Supermarket. You can't miss it as there is a old bicycle placed outside the restaurant. After viewing a lot of the new restaurants around the area, we decided to pack our tummies with Otak-Otak Place.

They were offering a lunch package meal for 2 person. 4 dishes plus 1 soup, 2 rice and 2 choices of drinks. All for only RM18. Not to waste time scouting for other seemingly nice looking food restaurants as we got another movie to attend at 2pm, we decided to try out the Otak-otak Place. Besides, we can try out the other restaurants other time. Just making this our 1st stop.

We ordered the lunch meal set. The seatings is cozy and comfortable. My only concern is that the waiters and waitress should have more attention to look out for customer's calling and not talking to among each other.

The 1st 3 dishes are spicy tofu with peanuts, acar-acar and spicy gravy chicken (countable. 4 small piece only. About the size of a quarter chicken). Soto ayam soup. The soup was not hot enough. But it wasn't cold either. Just not hot enough to be a hot soup.. that's what I was just implying.

The 2 drinks were hot barli and an Ice-lemon tea. I didn't snap the photo of the ice-lemon tea drink because it wasn't a nice drink to begin with. So, I didn't bother to snap a photo of it. The barli however was very nice. That's why the photo is here.

The last dish was the otak-otak. I'd give it one thumbs up. Almost similar taste to the famous Muar Otak-otak. I think that's why the restaurant's name is also based on its signature dish as well. It was almost like saving the best dish for the last but unfortunately, either we're very hungry or they took a longer time to cook it. The otak-otak dish only came when we're almost finishing the rest of the dishes and the white rice we had.

Overall, a nice place to eat as the food is ok. But preferred if they buck up their customer service.

Lam Mee Ya @ 1Utama

2009-05-18T14:50:00.005+08:00

With my parents' recommendation, on Mother's day it is we head on to 1Utama to eat the recommended Lam Mee Ya noodles. There were a lot of choices of noodles but the original Lam Mee is still the best and suggested. Good thing is that the restaurant is just newly open and have lots of promotion on it. After 12 visits, customers are entitled to a free lam mee plate. And also, what we were having is also the set meals which they include the lam mee plate + green tea drink (non-refillable) + a side dish.

The noodles are cooked to perfection and the gravy is simply delicious. Sliced chicken meat and the prawns are fresh.

The side dishes took a little longer to prepare but it was worth the wait. The meat ball is still the best. But so are the other dishes. Sorry, I forgotten to take the names down. I was already filled my mouth with the food but luckily still got time to photo shoot them before the plates and bowls were empty.

Location: 1Utama Shopping Complex, New Wing - Ground Floor. Just beside BreadStory and opposite Kluang Station.

Bon Appetite!

JoJo Little Kitchen @ Kuchai Entrepreneurs' Park

2009-04-06T09:44:00.004+08:00

Thought of checking out the new area shop lots opened at Kuchai Entrepreneurs' Park. Lots of food shops there. Was told by a friend that there are few specialties along the area. Fish Head Mee Hoon Soup, Pan Mee, Yong Tau Foo to name the top 3 list. So, I decided to head out to choose one of the 3. After making 2 to 3 rounds around the shops, which most are Chinese cuisine. Found 2 shops to be packed with people. I decided to try the Pan Mee and this little shop called Jojo Little Kitchen seems to be pack with people. Can relatively know the difference because just next door is also another Pan Mee shop and it only has 2 to 3 tables occupied with customers. While the shop I ate, is packed and there are people waiting to be seated.

Luckily for me that day, got a nice car park right in front of the shop. And more lucky to have a table for me to sit immediately.

Ordered Curry Laksa Pan Mee. A lot of ingredients but seems lack on the Pan Mee. But still at the end of the eatery, I'm full.

Friend ordered Dry Curry Pan Mee. Delicious as well but a little bit oily. The Pan Mee was shining almost mirror reflection...

For desserts and drinks, ordered Calamansi Plum juice and To Fu Fa + Cincau.

For side orders, we ordered the prawn dumpling. It comes in 8 pieces. But still not worth it because the dumpling is like a small piece. Can hardly taste the prawn in them at all!

Overall, the food is tasty but I still think the dishes are a little bit too oily. I guess that's what makes it delicious. Don't think I will visit again because it made me stomach ache later in the evening.

B.B.Q Plaza @ 1Utama: New Wing (Forest)

2009-03-23T15:24:00.007+08:00

BBQ Plaza recently have a promotion for Jusco members. "Present your Jusco card for a free Croquet (Whatever that is?!). Well, we're just as curious as you are. So, we went in to try out the food as well as the "free croquet".

Service was good. Very prompt service. The golden pan is used to barbecue the food. Instead of using oil, 2 pieces of pork lard is used to oil the pan.

Drank fresh watermelon frosta juice and logan drink. The frosta is refreshing and not too sweet at all for a nice hot sunny day to quench my thirst.

Ordered family set together with steamed white rice. And the free croquet is actually minced meat on the inside and outside is coated with crispy layer laid with mayonnaise. The Croquet would be more tasty if served hot rather than not hot nor cold.

The meat should be a little bit thicker. But I guess they sliced it thin so that the meat are easier to get cooked faster. The chicken stock soup is nice but the pan doesn't allow much space to fill the soup in our bowls.

My Toast @ MidValley Mall

2009-03-14T19:08:00.005+08:00

What do you do when you come early to a shopping mall which many of the in-store has not open yet? Scout around for a good Morning breakfast place. I wanted to eat some good ol' western breakfast and was recommended by friends to try out "My Toast" Kopitiam at basement floor between the walk-way of Gardens and Mid-Valley Megamall.

First problem arise when I arrived to the My Toast kopitiam restaurant. Its not in a shop. Hence the seatings were a bit cramp. Furthermore, for only one person to eat there, its totally not recommended as you have to remember your table number and then go to the counter to order your food. Nowadays its not advisable to leave your valuables on the table seats as to "pre-book" your table. Luckily, it was still early in the morning and not many people were walking by the stall.

The first item on the menu that I receive is the French Toast. I should be getting my drinks first (Coffee) and not the food 1st. There was also a mixed-up with the items with another customer's table. [poor management]. The French Toast is too oily!

The breakfast plate. 2 eggs, a hot dog, baked beans (so little) and a toast bread. The eggs were too fried and dry. It would be ideal if it was one fried egg and one half-fried egg (at least one of the yolk should be watery instead of dried up).

My choice of eatery.. first and last!

New York, New York Deli @ 1Utama Shopping Complex

2009-02-20T12:13:00.007+08:00

1Utama Shopping Complex Giant Supermarket is now taken over by Cold Storage Supermarket. And its area has widen to accommodate more shops and restaurants. One restaurant that caught my eye is right in front of Cold Storage Supermarket. Its a Singaporean Company franchise.

The food is delicious with western cuisine and drinks are unique. I tried the root beer float. Its refreshing only with a taste difference. I've discovered (now only discovered) that the unique special taste that A&W root beer float has with this here root beer float is actually the vanilla ice-cream! So, which is better? Definitely A&W's.

But I must compliment that when you are led to be seated, you don't have to wait for the waiter/waitress to bring you the menu. Its laid on the table and most of the recommended food/dishes are clearly highlighted.

I had this pizza which is for diet control. Being a cheese lover, its surprising that the cheese on this chicken Hawaii pizza is not cheesy at all!

The penne pasta.. well, what can I say.. I forgot to take the "before eaten" shot and only after "almost finish eaten" shot instead. Delicious! If only the prawns are fully peeled off.. that's a mouthful.. Yummy!

I'd recommend this to anyone that loves pizza and pasta. And its affordable as well.

New Paris Restaurant @ SS2

2009-02-20T11:55:00.007+08:00

Those staying in SS2 for a long time should remember a budding new Chinese restaurant that's near the SS2 Yamaha music school that's delicious and restaurant/house hanging near the cliffs.

Well, its now called the New Paris Restaurant. Occupying the whole 2 unit of shop lots just near to the 7-11 convenient store.

The restaurant gets real pack especially during Chinese New Year where friends and families gathered to enjoy good food and lou-sang for good luck, good health and good wealth. I've been told that not only during Chinese New Year but almost everyday and especially the weekends, it gets packed with people simply because of the good food.

I got the privilege to eat here at the last days before Chinese New Year ends with my friends to lou-sang. Mind me, I can't translate Chinese to English that well but gonna try my best with the dishes.

My most fond memories for Paris Restaurant is their special compiled chili sauce mixed with fresh onion and lime juice.

Some of the dishes are the recommended dishes or highlighted dishes of the restaurant.

Chicken with watermelon balls

Fried Tofu with minced pork meat

Guinness Sauced Pork ribs

Spinach with garlic

Fried sotong

Oh yes, not forgetting... the food surprisingly arrive extremely fast! Once ordered, you don't have to wait very long even on a fully packed day! This is one of the many perks of New Paris Restaurant.

But mind you. Its NON-HALAL.

Lotus Grill Restaurant @ Clarke Quay

2009-02-02T15:39:00.005+08:00

Its a great outing on the 1st day of Chinese New Year here in Singapore. After an entertaining lion dance, and river boat cruise around clarke quay, time to fill up my tummy as it nears dinner time. Lots of weird and interesting restaurants around Clarke Quay and very difficult to decide what to eat. Settled with something interesting. Eating in a river boat parked at the riverside of clarke quay. The name of the restaurant is Lotus Grill Restaurant.

Ravishing with hunger, skipped the entree course and headed straight for the main course meals. My first was the Grilled Pork Ribs with fries. Its coated with marinated barbeque sauces. Simply delicious. It has 7 ribs.. and I almost couldn't tuck in further after the 6th rib!

The second was grilled stingray ala asian dish with white fragrant rice. The stingray is topped with thai soury and spicy sauce. Sides includes acar. Very nice!

Instead of a usual drink, I ordered bacardi cola and shandy. But I wonder why for shandy, the restaurants like to just mix calsberg with sprite? Don't they have like real shandy? This shandy was a bit awkward as I tasted the bitterness of the beer at the top and the sweetness of sprite at the bottom.. not mixed properly to be called shandy!

Pastamania @ Pavillion KL

2009-01-05T19:01:00.005+08:00

Pasta! Pasta! Pasta! Where to go for good pasta food? Where else?! At Pasta-Mania Restaurant.

Start off with chicken soup and yummy garlic bread. The garlic bread is soft and warm to perfection. Tasty!

Tried 2 pasta noodles. Spaghetti Carbonara [fettucine style] (top) and Spaghetti Spicy Seafood [penne style] (bottom). Both are chef recommendation. If you like lots and lots of cheese, carbonara is the dish for you.

Rainforest Cafe at KL Tower

2009-01-05T18:40:00.006+08:00

Excellent Fresh Orange juice but that's not a cappuccino at all! Visiting to KL Tower on a New Year's Day is a very hot and humid weather affair. Even though there is a restaurant at the top of the tower, there are also other restaurants surrounding the KL Tower. Like this one which I am going to give a food review of the food ate.

Ordered Spaghetti - its a minced beef but specialty with egg toppings. Good combination choice. Its tasty as well.

Next is Chicken Rendang. The rice is a bit soggy and the chicken is too dry and oily. A totally different taste and look from the menu's food shot.

Fullhouse @ NiuZeXui

2008-12-15T18:46:00.006+08:00

Talkabout a restaurant that looks like a cottage/bungalow in a commercial centre. This particular cafe cum store or rather categorized as a Lifestyle Store and Cafe, made a big impact to visitors visiting NZX.

You can't miss it. Its building is as white as snow and there is a blue mini cooper with a lady maniquin sitting on the boot. It has white picket fences with doves sitting on its green hedges.

I decided to have dinner at this authentic place. The menu is like a comic book describing characters similar to the Fullhouse: Korean Drama (with the same title).

Trying the western cuisine apart from its continental dishes. The choice was a foot long sausage with whipped potato. And Sek-Wok Chicken Chop. The Chicken chop was spicy with the black pepper sauce but with the added grapes, provides sweetening and sourish taste.

The foot long sausage, well... I couldn't tell if it was really a foot long since it comes cut into four(4) pieces. The sausage is a little salty, but I guess the idea was to go together with the nice whipped potato so that it taste just right when placed into the mouth.

For drinks, I called for a normal and another specialized colorful drink. First with the red twisted straw is the lime juice. And the other with green coloring was Calamansi with Apple Juice and Jelly.

Pasta de Gohan @ Sunway Pyramid

2008-12-08T12:39:00.006+08:00

What do you call a restaurant mixed with Japanese cuisine and Italian cuisine? Its Pasta de Gohan!

Starters: Drinks. On the left is Vanilla Float (Clear sprite drink with vanilla ice-cream) and on the right is Hawaiian Float (Blue dye on sprite drink with vanilla ice-cream).

Tried the Prawn Spicy Carbonara (Its topped with a yolk and carbonara sauce). The prawns are fresh to perfection and still can't figure out that are those red minced straps.. My guess those are chilli sliced into strings.

We ordered 2 mini pizza. Its thin crust! So, you won't feel too full at the end of the meal. Overall? A place to go again in future to try out all the other exciting dishes. You can actually pre-order before even sitting down.. with all the dishes stuck on the wall and the shop/restaurant's wall... Just delicious by looking at them.

Carbonara Mini

Eel Teriyaki Mini

Ole Ole Bali @ SOHO, KL

2008-12-08T12:18:00.007+08:00

Just found out that Ole-Ole means "Gift" in Balinese Language. Just as I walked into the Restaurant, its really like a gifted place filled with coziness and home warming feeling. The waitresses are helpful and there were 2 ways to dine. First was the old convention way that there is a table and chair. And the other is slightly unique, with a lower table and you sit on cushions on the floor. I choose that once I saw the piled pillows. I could just land myself on them and sleep.

Started with a Bali Lime drink. Its unique as it has a pandan leaf in the drink. Very nice taste indeed! For main course meal, we had a special nasi lemak set for 2 person. And I had another ordered, a chicken kebab spaghetti.

SOHO, KL.. too bad it was raining heavily that day. I believe its another destination for me to go there again as there were many other shops with good food to taste. Till next time! Cheerio!

Muar holiday on 51st Merdeka Day!

2008-09-02T13:55:00.003+08:00

Had an amazing holiday in Muar, Johor. Muar is famous for its multiple delicious food such as Bak Kut Teh, Otak-otak (Fish cake), Wantan Mee, and a lots more. Stayed near walking distance to the most happening shopping complex in town - Wetex Parade.

I'm here to introduce to you my visit at the Tanjung Emas during early morning's sun rise and some of the best home cooked food and the famous otak-otak Muar.

Absolute Thai at Ikano Power Centre

2008-08-16T21:58:00.004+08:00

I'm on a crispy spring roll hunt! And after laying off Beef for a long while, I earned my privilege to ... eat beef again! What better way, as recommended by the restaurant of Absolute Thai, its one of the chef's recommendation dish. Beef Noodle Soup. Oh ya, back to the crispy spring roll. Crispy and nice. The main flavor is actually the chilly sauce. Opps! I didn't get to shoot the sauce. Well, that's why you got to go and try it.

Anyway, the other dish is spicy chicken with a sunny side up on steamed rice. The chicken is so spicy that one mouth full of it.. made my ears watery! But if you like spicy, this is the food to go for.

Drinks to cool you down are watermelon and orange juice.

Little Vietnam at Midvalley, KL

2008-08-16T21:45:00.006+08:00

This is my star wars night! Animated. Yup! I love star wars so much, I don't care if the show is cartoon based. Alright! Nuff about the star wars. More on food and where I'm heading this time is Midvalley. Well, been to Midvalley a lot of times. Introducing to you all a specialised country cuisine which you have tried it at other shopping malls. Today's Little Vietnam Restaurant.

For starters; Crispy Spring roll. I opted to try the fresh rice wrap over the crispy but my partner prefer crispy. Still delicious though. As refreshments, its Ice Lemon tea and Soda with Lime juice. The Soda with lime juice gives an exquisite taste. Refreshing!

Main course: Spaghetti with Siu Mai (look-alike meatballs). Parsley is a little too much. But still yummy. Next is Chicken Curry rice. Delicious as well. Only if it gives more curry sauce.

Fong Lye: Taiwan cuisine - Gardens Midvalley

2008-08-02T20:33:00.006+08:00

What is the best way to feel like you're in Taiwan, but not having to be there? Not having to pay for airtickets, few hours of flight and booking of hotel? Just eat at Fong Lye's Taiwan cuisine at Gardens Midvalley. That's just what we did. Just before our booked tickets to GSC Signature Cinema for the movie The Mummy 3, we went down just 1 floor down and ate at Fong Lye.

Waiter and Waiteress will greet you in Taiwan "welcome". Seated comfortably on the mini table just fit for 2, seats are cushiony and with comfort. Didn't know what to choose but tried the 2 set dishes as they were marked as "very good" on the menu.

I ate the tomato fish sauce set and my wife ate the seafood mix set. Expect the seafood to be a bit pricy as the mini steamboat has not only prawns in it, but crab parts as well. If you are a tomato lover, then the sauce is yummy delicious. The set comprises of the a bowl of rice just nice, 3 side mini dishes - taufu, a spring roll, garnished cucumber. It comes with a soup as well. Mine was old cucumber soup.

Sushi Groove at 1Utama

2008-07-27T13:20:00.006+08:00

After much tasting of sushi from Shogun, to sushi king, genki sushi, sakae sushi and hotel's sushi, comes my taste bud for sushi groove. Very cozy environment. Makes you just want to sleep on the comfy couch and doze off after a marathon walk around 1Utama shopping complex. However, the comfy couch is just a waiting area. The actual seating area, hmmm.. can't lean back. its a cushion stool with squary tables and green triangular plates and green chopsticks.

If you are a train belt fan, then sushi groove is NOT the place for you. Its more of a A-la-carte dishes selection menu. Pictures are nice to look at but navigating the menu needs some strategy.

What did we eat: Unagi sushi, tempura udon, extravaganza roll (8 x salmon and tuna sushi), hot and cold orcha tea.

Donald's All you can eat DURIAN!!! @ SS2

2008-07-19T23:07:00.010+08:00

Durian season is here! You know, the thorny fruit with a smell that will knock you out! Kampong, D24, D101, D2, "chok keok", XO, Everthing, Double thumbs up! Best part is that its my first time eating on the spot!

Best part is to eat in a group of friends. We had our 1, 2, 3, 4.. umm possibly 5 or 6's durian. 8 people feasted on the wonderful fruit. Apart from the durians, the mangosteens are a hit!

Frog Porridge - Jalan Alor

2008-07-19T22:53:00.006+08:00

Want to know where to eat the best frog porridge? Its here in Kuala Lumpur. Just 5 minutes walking distance from BBPlaza, in the heart of KL's shopping paradise. Jalan Alor. There is a long line of stalls and restaurants of good delicious food. Just take a look of the photos.. yummy... FYI: if you want to lose weight and at the same time enjoy a nice frog porridge, come here. The frog porridge will sweat you out!

By the way, this is Kung Po Frog porridge. Any difference? If you want the hot and spicy black sauce with lots of chili padi, then order kung po frog porridge. If you're not into hot and spicy stuff, just order the plain frog porridge. Its just as delicious, minus the spiciness.

When you're hungry, really hungry! What do you do? Go to American Chilis and order yourself a big nice main course fit for 2! Just after a movie in the morning and what a hot sunny day. Best to order a drink with a bottomless pit. Fresh apple and orange juice.

Disney in Hong Kong!

2008-07-13T22:27:00.007+08:00

Staying in Hollywood Hotel - Disney Hong Kong is like being a super star celebrity! Minus the 200 plus other super star celebrities. Sunday was the day we went to Disney Hong Kong. The theme park is simply superb. Definately going to save more money to go to Hong Kong Disney again??? No way! Going to try out Disney in US or Japan! Ha! Gotcha...

We spent the whole day in the theme park. Taking photo with Goofy, Chip 'N Dale, Winnie the Pooh, Pluto, Prince Caspian, Disney Crew, Buzz Lightyear and Mickey! Well, almost. Mickey's Statue only. There is like an hour queue to Mickey and Minie's photoshoot. Learnt to draw Mickey's face too. Fun! Will post out the photo once I got it sorted out the 100+ photos we shot on our whole 5 days trip to Hong Kong.

Anyway, here is the food we had. Dinner. Lunch, err.. was so hungry we forgotten to photo shoot it. For lunch we only ate a Turkey drumstick and some bagels. For dinner, taa-da! The creamy is mushroom soup and the red brown is the minestrom soup. And the main course? Well, again... our appetite got over us. We ate till the end and only remembered we forgot to photo shoot it again.

Here is the nice night shot we were waiting for the grand finale where fireworks and musical effects will be showing over the Disney Castle.

Airplane food

2008-06-23T23:01:00.004+08:00

Ta-Da! Airplan food. What a topic, eh? Well, this story comes from my trip to Hong Kong. What better way to travel to Hong Kong. Is to travel in its country's airlines. Cathay Pacific. Somehow, I notice most flights going out from Malaysia; the airplanes are with comfort. But flights returning to Malaysia; the airplane are less attractive and uncomfortable. Anyway, that's on another topic.

Airplane food. Now, I've no frequent traveller. But do hope in time to come; get to travel more. For work or holiday. As usual, up up and away! Started with peanuts and juice as snacks. Meal time, I chose Spicy Fish rice. Dessert comes with magnum like ice-cream. Yummy!

Old Town feeling @ Cyberjaya

2008-06-22T16:06:00.004+08:00

No need to promote anymore. Its as famous as it gets. Old Town cafe. Its actually my regular stop during lunch time in Cyberjaya. Yes, I work in an office in Cyberjaya. The land far far away, deemed by anyone that never been there but only heard of it.

My fav is either the Nasi Rendang Chicken or even just the plain Nasi Lemak special. Chicken is crispy. For this photo below, I ate the Nasi Rendang. And do you know what is the best tast of all?? Its not the chicken really, its actually the sambal! What goes better with Nasi Lemak is an ice coffee. Here, taken is Hazel Coffee Cold.

Over a not too hot weather on a Sunday afternoon, was craving for mashed potatoes and refreshing cooling juice. Passed by this cozy restaurant called Bumbu Bali. Its sort of Thai decorations with exotic Indonesian environment. Cozy settings makes the place cooling with shaded bambo curtains covering the restaurant.

The restaurant - bar concept gives an exquisite fine dining yet affordable feeling to the visitors.

Chairs and tables are wooden, but surprisingly it doesn't give a pain in the butt when seated.

I ordered Chicken BBQ with Squid combo. Comes with Mashed potato, salad and special sauce. While my wife ordered BBQ chicken - comes with fries.

Drinks - The barley with lime is simply freshing! While I ordered Iced cappucino (specially brewed from coffee beans and not like the normal which is already ready-made).
