1 Day and Counting to Hong Kong !!

Yeah finally it's here. I'll be off to Hong Kong tomorrow morning and we booked the earliest flight at 630 am. It's the first time I will heading to the airport at 4 in the morning. LOL! :P

Though it will be tiring but I'm darn excited. I've heard so much of Hong Kong and I want to visit HK's famous Ocean Park. :)

I'll be back only next year on 3rd Jan 2008! So Food Lover would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year 2008 and have a fabulaous year ahead with lotsa good FOOD! hehe.....

While I'm away here are some photos I've posted on a recent farewell dinner we threw for my old friend Evvelynn who went over to Singapore permanently for work! Going to miss you babe. And please let us know when u're back! :)

The group photo taken at Shogun Japanese Buffet Restaurant at 1 Utama! I was sushi overdose!


My 1st plate was of course my favourite sashimi! Salmon totally rawks! :)


Baked cheesy oyster... Something I really do not fancy :P


Assorted Teppanyaki! I've added brocolli, mushroom, salmon, chicken and lamb! Yummy! RM 50 per pax for the buffet is not expensive but how much can you eat right? The max I took was only 3 rounds and I couldn't fit in any desserts!


Eve & I! Have a good journey at Singapore! My eating and shopping partner during college!


Eve & Ees!

Xmas Eve Dinner and Gift Exchange !

Christmas is over and I had a good celebration. tsk tsk... How was yours?? And now everyone will be anticipating the final celebration of the year - Countdown to the year 2008. :)

I was very much eating non stop even before Christmas with barbeque and steamboat sessions back to back. LOL! I think you don't do much except for get together sessions for some GOOD FOOD right? :P

Anyway we were all at Euric's place for steamboat and gift exchange after that. His house was very much filled with Christmas decos and the ambience was great! And we definitely did enjoy the FOOD!

The Christmas tree! :)



Each of us brought along a gift... hehe...


Door gifts upon arrival! How nice! :P


The dinner table was nicely set up and we were all darn hungry!


The raw materials! We have soo much food!!!


The fishball was superb and I had sooo many of it. They got it from some steamboat shop! Awesome! slurrrpp!

Pre Xmas Party and Gift Exchange!

The special someone threw a bbq party 2 days before Christmas at his place and invited a few close friends over for some food and celebration together.

I always love Christmas! We get to exchange gifts with one another and also enjoy yummy food during the season. tsk tsk... Hence I was getting all busy trying to add in some Christmas ambience around the place - something that I adore doing. Since it was last minute, this was the best I can do. HAHA!

The little corner to put the presents. We wanted to get a Xmas tree but it was too late. Maybe next year. A Xmas tree would just complete everything. :)


The message board I got from Ikea and decided to pin up photos of us and friends together!




Then the special someone was busy in the kitchen during the evening to prepare his ever famous fried mee hoon! LOL! I did my part of the work in preparing the minced pork and omelette. :)


Wooo.... Looks good and tasted yummy too! It was not easy cooking for a group of 12 pax! haha!


Me posing with the bears!!!!!!!!!!! :)


My bestie & me cam whoring while waiting for the rest to arrive!


Amy and I! :)


Then it was time to get all hot and sweaty... BBQ at the pool side!


The ladies looking all happy indulging in the mee hoon! haha!


Alicia & eda!


The guys busy enforcing their skills to set up the pit and fire!




I was definitely sausage overdose. And after the food we headed upstairs and had our gift exchange ceremony! :)


Alicia and Nat looking so happy with their Xmas gifts from Aaron! Soo cute I want also :P
Merry Xmas everyone! 4 Days and counting to Hong Kong! :)

High School Gathering @ The Curve

All I can say is we came a long long way.... Knew this bunch since form 2 in High School and the rest were history. :)

It's good that we kept in touched till date and though it's hard to meet frequently but we still find time to catch up when we can. Since one of them went over to the Kiasu land a.k.a Singapore for studies, we met up one of the days for a dinner together when she was back.

The 4 buddies since high school...


The smart ladies...




We ate at Vivo Panini but I didn't managed to snap any photos of the food! Anyhow after meeting up with them, I met some of my other friends at Kim Gary for tea.


Kim Gary is still my fav Hong Kong food cafe! The famous tomato chicken rice...


Sizzling chicken.... yum yum!


Woo... the famous cheese baked rice... that's about it... 2 days and counting down to Xmas! Have a merry xmas everyone! :)

K.T.Z. FOOD @ 1 Utama

K.T.Z. FOOD is no stranger to everyone. I frequent it myself with their ever famous snacks and desserts. Usually opened from late evening till night, this place is usually packed with food goers during wee hours of the night having supper. :P

I used to visit the branch at SS2 and now they added the latest franchise at 1 Utama shopping mall. There are more and more new cafes and restaurants at 1 Utama; I wanna try all of 'em!

Oh yeah 3 more days and counting to Christmas! And by the way it's "Guo Dong" today, 1 month celebration before Chinese New Year. :) More FOOD coming! tsk tsk....

KTZ @ Rainforest of 1 Utama...


Pan fried dumpling.. yum yum... love this very much...


Dry Ramen with minced pork!




I had their soup version of Ramen with pork... I'm definitely a soupy person. :)


Rice with pork fillet and egg!


The wrapped chicken with special spices...

5 Days to Christmas...

Out of the many celebrations we have, I typically love Christmas and Chinese New Year the most. Xmas for its beautiful ambience and CNY for its ang pow! LOL!

Gosh... I'm so tired. Just got back from Penang late last night; hence the lack in updates. :)
Can you believe it? 5 more days and counting down to Christmas!

I remembered I was at Penang for Xmas last year with my family. Guess this year we will be staying back in KL. :)

The Xmas decos around are simply beautiful. This whole thing just made me feel at peace; I feel joy and gladness. hehe... I was at a couple of malls recently, so let's see their xmas decos...

We want to wish everyone merry xmas! HAHA! :P


One fine day we were at The Curve for lunch. Decided to dine at The Dessert place for some FOOD!


Their menus serving a wide range of chinese food, snacks and desserts! YUM!


I ordered their char siew Wan Tan noodles with dumplings. RM 7.90. Not the best I've eaten, but can eat lar :P


The steam pork rice.. Apparently it was too sweet...


Wooo I love their mango and kiwi loh!


Xmas tree at the restaurant... so nice!


After lunch, I walked around and snapped some photos... The entrance to the Curve!


The Curve concourse area was smaller compared to mid valley/ 1 Utama... Nevertheless the deco was still good! Snowman!


Santa's house? LOL! :P




Then early in the week I was at Mid Valley Megamall. They were having an Orange theme this year...






I still love Pavilion Mall the best! White Xmas simply RAWKS! :P

Alexis Bistro, Bangsar Shopping Mall

I'm off to Penang in a while.... Will be back tomorrow night... Have a great week peeps! :)

It was Saw Cheng's birthday in November and we celebrated at Alexis Bistro; situated at Bangsar Shopping Mall. Happy Birthday Leng Lui! Hope you had a blast celebration.

I've heard of this place many times but it was only my first time there. I pretty like the ambience of the place; comfy with dim lightings but the service there was pretty slow cause it was really crowded during weekends.

Nevertheless the food was marvelous.. The range of food were pretty much like the ones you get at Ms Read or Delicious Cafe.

The super yummy birthday cake we had... Priced at RM 100 ++ per cake... rich with almonds! Yum! :P


The birthday girl all smiles... :)


I was late during dinner, hence only managed to snap photos of the food I ordered... The rest were pretty much done with their food by the time I arrived... Their caesar salad with grilled chicken was pretty good. RM 15


And you must not miss their carbonara sauce spaghetti which was melted with tons of cheese, mushrooms and bacons!


Saw Cheng, me and the special someone...


The ladies that night...


One very nice group photo after the dinner. :)

Cameron Trip Pt 3 - FOOD and more Photos!! :)

Ok one final post on my Cameron trip. :)

As of matter of fact, there is not much happenings at this place except to enjoy the cool weather and some good food around.

Woohoo it's the weekend again! 2 more weeks before my Hong Kong trip... counting down... I am darn excited! :P

A busy week ahead too.. heading to Penang again next week for work!

Let's allow the photos to do the talking... :)

The green scenery... it was darn dangerous to get to the famous tea house @ Camerons. The roads were so narrow and one way only for cars to come in and go out. Gosh! Anyway we survived it! :)


Bubbles bubbles... Nice shot! :P


Us again @ the hill top...


Reminds me of my younger days.... blowing bubbles... it was a nice feeling really; with the cool weather and strong wind, it just made it perfect! :)




Blowing some wishes along the way....


After the tea house, we headed over to the night market for some snacks and to stock up goods for our steamboat dinner that night.... It starts as early as 5pm! Strawberries anyone? YUM!


Assorted fried snacks!


U know what is this? Super rawks lerr! Fried potato balls. Perfect way to warm your body with the nicely fried potato balls :P A pack of 12 is around RM 2


Huge and juicy sweet corns too!



We bought darn a lot of vegetables to bring home too. So cheap, I can't believe it! Choose 10 packs for RM 10; which mean RM 1 per pack! *faints* It was nice shopping for vegetables too!


Some peculiar looking flowers I saw....



Next up was the Strawberry corner.... every corner you see strawberries :P


The famous strawberry ice cream.. hmm.. nothing special... I prefer eating the real thing..

My bestie & Me! The great organizer!


Steamboat dinner at night... it was soo cold during the night; perfect timing for some hot tom yam steamboat :)


WAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stay tune! One final episode to go on my Cameron trip! Have a great weekend everyone! :)

A Trip to Cameron Highlands Pt 1....

A group of us were all excited out of sudden and with some ad-hoc plannings in action, we headed up to Cameron Highlands for a 2 days 1 night stay.

It has been ages since I last went. I remembered the last trip was during primary school when I was a mere 12 years old; which was a trip organized by the school. LOL! How time flies right?

My bestie & I cam whoring at the tapah rest house...The stop with lots of fruits! Yum!


Upon arrival, we were dead hungry and adjourned for lunch at a western restaurant recommended by my bestie! The food was superb and darn cheap! The free soup that comes when you order their set lunch!


Woo... look yum right? The signature chicken maryland... deep fried and topped with black pepper sauce. Sides are the salad and mashed potato! About RM 13.90!


Some appetizer... fried spring roll... RM 6.90!


Even their asian food was good. Fried kway teow with pork!


I opted for their grilled dory fish... I'm very much a fish person...Nicely marinated with teriyaki sauce... RM 13.90!


Fish and chips! Simple and good! :P


You can't live without rice? fred not, they have a few selection of rice dishes!


Ater the good food, we visited the cactus valley and camwhore all we can! :P Good place for photo shoots and just simply taking photos of the scenery!

Dian Xiao Er @ Vivo City

As stated in their signage, Dian Xiao Er restaurant is famous for its freshly roasted herbal duck. Aside from that, there is also a wide range of local chinese delights to be offered.

If you're looking for authentic and yummy chinese food, here is a place worth checking out. Prices are a little high; but with the ambience, service and quality of food you get - it's worth every penny.

The whole meal cost us about 75 SGD. After coversion it's about RM 150 for the 4 of us. :)

The outside looks interesting already! Our friend recommended us to try this place at Vivo City!


Nicely painted wall... The place was filled with antiques and tanglungs. Even their dining area feels traditional...


Right at the entrance, you see the booth displaying their famous roasted duck... drooling? :P


Menu & peanuts as appetizer!


Some of the local dishes we had........ :)


Homemade tow foo... really good stuff... it was deep fried till golden brown where you get to enjoy the crispyness outside and the softness inside! Woo.. syok!


Assorted vegetables with giant prawns! *slurrp*


The famous roasted duck drenched in herbal sauce... the skin was really cripsy and you can taste the tenderness of the duck meat!


Pork ribs! Very nice also!


Ordered a serving of the fried rice to go with the dishes...


We were very full & contented people! Last photo b4 we left Singapore the same day! :)


Look at all the goodies I grabbed @ Singapore? I just love collecting cutie things! Bought a couple of clothes from Bossini too which was darn cheap @ SG! I'm sooo happy... :)

FOOD & Shopping @ Singapore

I was at Singapore 2 months back and I almost forgot to blog about this trip. LOL! I was in Johor at first for work before we decided to stay back and spend the weekends at Singapore.

What else is there except for non stop eating actions and shopping? hehe...

I did blog about this pepper lunch place in my previous post during my visit to catch Gwen Stefani's Live Concert! Click the links below:

Different varieties - Beef, Chicken, Salmon....


You must never forget to add in tons of honey brown sauce.. just made the meal more yum!


Woo... 2 grilled salmon and tons of bean sprouts!


The famous salmon pepper lunch! :)


Food Lovers! :)


Busy with their meals... :P


Another hang out spot to visit would be MOS - Ministry of Sound... the happening club at Singapore... quite pricy to open one bottle there... about RM 500 after the converison rate


Then it was supper time... you can hardly find food during wee hours of the morning at SG. Not even mamak. But there is this area at Gelang that is famous for FOOD goers. Assorted hot snacks and desserts! "Siu Long Pau"


Crepe wrapped with chicken floss and egg! Crunchy!


The HUGE "Yao Char Kway"


Anyone tried salted soya bean b4? Famous hot dessert apparently.. I much prefer the usual cold soya that is sweet! :P


Carrot cake wrapped with egg! Something special...


Keong Yee & I in the taxi... on the way for shopping... hehe...


The babe & I


Us @ the famous Vivo City!


Next up would be more FOOD we had @ Singapore...
Stay tune... :)

What's Cooking In the Kitchen?? :)

Weekends are the times when we are free for some cooking marathon in the kitchen. Weekdays are usually pre-occupied with work and other stuffs, hence we only make time to explore our skills on Saturday or Sunday.

At times we ran out of ideas where to eat or what to eat, why not just cook a simple meal? It's all fun and laughter knowing the fact we are turning the kitchen into a whole war zone. LOL!

Cooking is fun but the worst part of all is of course the cleaning! LOL! Don't you agree?

The special someone & I had been quite adventurous recently and had quite a fair bit of cooking a variety of things.

Here are the collection of photos on random occasions... Be set to drool... Didn't know we could cook such yummy meals too... keke...

Ayam masak merah a.k.a chicken cooked in spicy red sauce. Pretty easy. All you need are some chicken and a packet of the powder. Fry the chicken 1st and then pour the sauce with some onions and garlic. superb!


Soups are the easiest to prepare. Minestrone soup. I've added in spring onions, pepper, onion and garlic. Just buy the campbelle soup @ hypermarkets.


Wooo... Fried mee hoon with tow foo and vegetables. Simple and nice! Great job! :)


I'm also good at preparing the vege dishes. So easy and healthy! Fry some chili and toss it with dried prawns!


Stir fry vegetables with fish cakes and tow foo :)


Black pepper sauce chicken.... all you need is pack of ready-made black pepper powder. Fry the chicken till golden brown, cook the sauce and chicken together. Yummy!


Sambal Belacan kangkung can never go wrong... hehe


Fried Hong Kong Style noodle!


More veges...


I decided to be a little creative... adding in some noodles with the veges.


Some strawberries I bought from Cameron Highlands... Huge and soo juicy!


Stir fry mee hoon with Pork Chop!


Fry fish fillet wrapped with egg and topped with mini prawns...


Vegetables with pork!


The marinated pork from Fion... still havent steal the recipe from her... very nice and tasty!


I'm also darn good at omellette.... LOL!!! Cooking is fun.. why not you try? :P

Black Canyon Coffee, Centrepoint - Bandar Utama

There's this nice restaurant cum cafe @ Centrepoint itself called Black Canyon Coffee. It seems to be originated from Thailand with a wide range of assorted thai food and western cuisines.

If you love coffee and Thai Food, this place is a must try. Prices here are pretty reasonable and you can have a meal for RM 15. Simple yet comfy, it's a great place to hang out for some good food and drinks.

I love coffee! Can't live my day without it... part of me is missing without my dose of coffee! LOL! :P


The hot coffee.... usually served with some biscuits and a tea... really good stuff.. :)


Ice blended Green tea + dose of coffee... weird combination but it wasn't that bad... worth a try for those who wants to be more adventurous...
Iced blended.... simple and nice... you can never go wrong with ice blended coffee drinks
The Thai salad a.k.a "Som Tam". I love salads; be it western or thai, vege just make my day! Shredded tomatoes, onions, mangoes and heaps of peanuts! Great way to start your meal with a sour appetizer.

I had their Tom Yam pasta.... Spaghetti served in spicy tom yam soup.... something special; instead of noodles, you have the soup with pasta... yum yum! The soup was tasty and sour but not very spicy!


Assorted seafood such as prawns,fish fillet, squids and clams cooked in thick curry powder and crabmeat sauce... best eaten with white rice... :)


Spaghetti with ham... Cooked in a thick egg sauce and topped with ham. Not very cheesy... just a little I guess... very oriental...


Cam whore with Alicia's phone... the nokia....


The crazy babe & I... :)

Gosh it's Monday again! I was on annual leave last Friday. 3 days off from work still wasn't enough... I'm in a holiday mood already.... anticipating the year end holidays... I'm in need of a good break! :)

Joanne's Birthday, Hard Rock Cafe

It was the birthday of the 1st December baby I knew. Happy 23th Joanne. :)

A group of us adjourned to Hard Rock Café at Kuala Lumpur for some good food. I’ve been to Hard Rock of other countries like Bali but it was my first attempt to this place at Malaysia. LOL!

Hard Rock was filled with Christmas ambience with beautiful lightings, Xmas carols and even Xmas tress that surrounded the place. They served a wide range of Western cuisines, pretty similar to what Chilis or TGI has.

We were darn hungry by the time we arrived. Please remember if you are a small eater; share your food because their portion is HUGE.

Nicely lighted up and you see Santa riding on a Harley Davidson....


The super rich chocolate cake from Coffee Bean


I love xmas! So beautiful :)


Some decos around the place...


It was crowded during dinner time and it seems like a fav place for "ang moh"


We ordered The Jumbo Combo, priced at RM 45. An array of popular starters that's good for sharing. They have spring rolls, smoked chicken wings, onion rings, potato skins and chicken tender. Served with 4 different sauces! yum yum... we were all dead hungry and it was finished in 5 minutes :P


Since I'm a fish lover, I decided to order their grilled salmon, priced at RM 32. The salmon was nicely grilled and served with penne and garlic bread. Really good and I think it's quite cheap with the big portion of fish served.


Another best selling in their menu is the Hickory Smoked BBQ Combo. You can have an option of beef ribs, chicken or beef brisket. The trio combo below was priced at RM 60. Served with fries, baked beans and coleslaw...


The special someone had their duo combo, priced at RM 48. The BBQ sauce was simply appetizing... Huge portion really....


The grilled lamb chop, priced at RM 48. Looks nice....


The beef steak that Kok Ben ordered...


The ladies...


A family group photo.... SMILES!!!! :)


Us posing for a photo by the road side outside of Hard Rock... so full.... That's about it. Stay tune for more. Enjoy your Sunday everyone! :)

The Scarlet - Restaurant Lounge, Cineleisure

Attention party lovers!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a latest addition to the happening clubs family, the scarlet @ Cineleisure! This club is fantastic; with good ambience and awesome music, cannot be missed by party lovers!! :)

It's very much a ladies club with roses embedded in the bar counter and you can see bottles stacked up as part of their design. They play the latest R&B music too! Remember to RSVP before going or arrive before 10pm else you will NOT even get a table.

I'm definitely going there again! Apparently owned by the same owner of Sanctuary @ The Curve.

Latest club with lotsa gorgeous chicks! LOL! Even their signboard is so lady like :P


Wooooo... boost! :P


We didn't open any bottle that night. Just chilled out at the table outisde the dancing area... Their cocktails are pretty good too!


Heineken anyone?


Chilling out... Love the music!!!!!!!!! totally RAWKS!


Then the week after my friends wanted to check out scarlet again. But we were late and there were no tables left! :( Hence our only option was Sanctuary again which was playing house music on a Saturday! Not cool.... I much prefer R&B!!!

Cam-whoring @ the toilet... typical me.. hahahhaa!


Venice & me @ Sanctuary!


So happy to catch up with my long lost buddy - Ivy! :)

Birthday Celebration@ Shilla Korean Jap Buffet, The Curve

I met up with some old friends from college and primary school for a get-together eating session at The Curve.

I was thinking hard where to eat; needed to look a place to accomodate a big group and also feed their appetite. LOL! Hence I suggested to try out Shilla Korean Jap Buffet Restaurant @ The Curve. Priced at RM 50 per pax.

I was rather dissapointed with the food. They have a wide range of Korean Appetizers but both their hot dishes and sushi weren't that fantastic. I think Saisaki has better sushi and sashimi. The "hot" dishes were cold due to the fact that they were not warmed properly.

Anyway thanks for the treat everyone and thanks for coming! :)

The ambience.. clean and neat!


The Dessert corner... the best was the chocolate fondue... the desserts so so only...


Hot dishes...


Korean appetizer... I enjoyed the kimchi marinated prawns!


BBQ - Beef and chicken... This was the best among the rest we had... :P


My 1st round. Decided to go slow a little... haha!


Assorted jap food! Look at the unagi? so small and it wasn't tasty :(


I took a whole plate of Korean appetizers...


The korean bbq beef ribs!

I kinda like the chicken... but nothing really special... :)


Assorted sushi!




A group photo of my college friends from Apiit!


My long long buddies from primary school... we came a long long way :)


Thanks for coming too.. hehehe... :)


Assorted photos... hehe.... That's about it.. Stay tune for more photos during the weekend.. Trying to blog more often now. :)

Jarrod & Rawlins, Purveyors of Fine Food & Wine

Address: No 6, Lorong Dungun, Damansara Heights

I've heard of pretty good reviews about this eating place at Bukit Damansara called Jarrod & Rawlins. Hence on a fine Saturday afternoon we headed over to have brunch.

It was a bungalow converted to a restaurant. Really cozy and there were a few section of different dining concepts. You even get to choose your own food and it will be served at your table.

Definitely a place worth trying cause their food were darn yummy! :)

You can never miss this place...
The deli area... you get to choose from a wide variety of sausages, assorted marinated chicken, pork and beef! WOW! We chose to sit upstairs. It was nicely decorated.... You can opt to sit outside where you get to enjoy the garden view.. awesome! Wine anyone? Happy me posing with my newly bought cookie monster shirt! LOL! Thanks for the lovely lunch ;) The poser - Mr Aaron! We ordered their weekend roast which came with a salad as starters! The weekend roast is priced at RM 48 ++. Comes with lamb, chicken, potatoes, vegetables and bread! Served with black pepper sauce! The lamb was soo tender and juicy :P Assorted sausages we ordered from the Deli counter... served with mashed potatoes... heaven! And it was reasonably priced too! One piece was approx RM 3. Posing for some photos outside after a very fulfilling lunch! Matching in blue! Then later I met with my family and here is a photo of Amber, the chihuahua! She grew soo much!!! Time for diet amber... :PAin't she adorable?

Xmas @ Pavilion Mall

Jingle bells jingle bells... jingle all the way... I love Xmas! Do you? :P

December is the month of celebrations with Xmas and a brand new year coming along. Time for new year resolutions again perhaps? It's hard to believe that the year 2007 is coming to an end and SOOOO MUCH things had happened. :)

Anyway I was at the latest shopping mall in KL last weekend - Pavilion Mall. It might sound unbelievable but this was in fact my 1st time there. tsk tsk... And it was beautiful and I love this place so much! In terms of Xmas ambience and deco, this place seems to have it all.

There were heaps of interesting food joints, a new cinema and even Redbox karaoke! Perfect. I was there almost the whole day venturing around the huge mall. :)

Night time already....The Bukit Bintang entrance...
The food area... this is where the restaurants are. they have more options on Level 6... exclusive ones of course :P

Xmas trees... every single shop was having at least one xmas tree... :) This was taken @ Times Bookstore...

Me getting all excited posing with the xmas trees...

Us.... don't you love White Xmas? LOL!

The Xmas decos around the mall... so nice right? Couldn't stop snapping photos :P

The main stage! The xmas deco @ one of the shops... sooo nice!

Can I can I pose? :P Xmas would be special! :P

B4 our karaoke session @ Redbox Plus, there were mascots around.... hehe...

And I managed to grab a photo with handsome batman!

Karaoke Time! WOW!!! They call this Redbox plus. It was darn nice from outside and even nicer inside. Charges here are higher compared to the usual redbox you see. They have tons of rooms exclusively decorated ranging from RM 500 to RM 3000 per room!

Red Xmas tree!

The waiting area...

Pavilion has a Golden Screen Cinemas there as well for movie lovers. It feels like I'm @ Europe! :P
Great company who enjoys food and camwhoring! hahaha....

Dinner @ Wong Kok Char Chan Teng, situated at the 6th floor. This is the nicest outlet they have so far. The ambience was so different and you get to enjoy some good view outside...

Eating area...

Look at their walls? In red.. one of my Fav colors!

Iced Coffee!

My fav curry fishball! yum yum...

Black pepper udon!

Have a great week peeps! :)

Family Celebration @ Rakuzen, Hartamas

My family decided to treat me at my fav eating place at Rakuzen, Hartamas shopping mall during my big day! Thanks mum and dad. :)

This Japanese place is nothing new to regular jap food lovers who often come to eat one of the finest Japanese food you can ever find in town. I simply adore their bento sets in which they offer a wide range of dinner sets ranging from fish to chicken, udon and sashimi. Simply Awesome!

If you're a Jap food lover, this is a place not be missed!

Make sure to make a reservation first during the weekend as it is usually darn packed!
The ambience.... Many of the chefs are in fact Japanese... ;)
My daddy & I.... Look really alike right? LOL!

The special someone & I....

When it comes to eating your sashimi, wasabi is a must have! It makes the whole eating process much more satisfying.. hehe...

Sake Sushi... Huge chunk of salmon... woooo...

I usually order their unagi dinner bento set which comes with grilled unagi, sashimi, cawanmushi (Steam Egg), salad, rice and soup! Perfect! It's about RM 50 for one set. I think it's pretty reasonable with the portion they're serving...

Cilantro Restaurant & Wine, Micasa Hotel

Address: Lobby Level, Micasa Hotel Apartments, 368-B, Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur.

On my big day, the special someone brought me to this mysterious place near KL for dinner. I was questioning exactly where we are heading to but to my surprise, he headed straight into Micasa Hotel.

Never did I know they have a fine dining restaurant there called Cilantro that offers cuisine inspired from classic cooking methods and exotic Asian ingredients. In fact the cook that night was a Japanese chef!

Food here is a little pricy but the ambience and quality of food were indeed good. Let's see what we had that night...We were pretty early that night hence we were the 1st customer. LOL!
Dim lightings Bread and butter which was complimentary. It was a basket filled with assorted breads. There were wholemeal, almond, sunflower seeds bread... it tasted so good with the garlic butter spread that came with it...

Again complimentary from the Chef... A spoonful of yummy salmon! My fav! :PThis dish was called Wagyu Tartare with Anchovy toast and Egg Mollet, Aioli Sauce... Wooo super yummy... The waitress recommmended us this cold appetizer, RM 58!

Next dish we had was the Roasted duck breast with foie gras and daikon, Natural Jus!

OMG! This was sooooo GOOD! The duck meat was so tender and accompanied by the "goose" liver just made it perfect! :P Priced at RM 68!

The final dish we had was Confit of Bamboo fish fillet with Water Cress & Clam juice. It was darn fresh... Priced at RM 88! The fillet was wrapped with juicy mushrooms... *faints*

My birthday cake with my name somemore! :P Rich chocolate cake with assorted fruits. It was really good! Thanks dear! :)

Turned 23...
Made a long long wish again... greedy me...It was indeed a good dinner with great company :)

A very happy me! Feeling full and satisfied!
