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



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

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!
