Delicious @ MidValley Megamall

This is one place, I'd strongly recommend anyone going for bite that has variety of local cuisine, to Italian and western style. The drinks are also creative and delicious in taste as well. Here is what we ate...



Golden Fried Calamari. (crispy)



Spicy Seafood spaghetti.



Duck Confitti spaghetti.



And lastly for refreshment; Soda Lemon Rose.

Marche @ The Curve

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
