Manhattan Fish Market.

Had not been to Subang Parade for a while now. They did some modification to the outlook of the place. Carpetted walk ways brighter settings. Look like they were trying to make it a bit up market mall for shoppers. I think they only partially succeeded as the retail mix of the place remains more or less the same. But I think it good becoz the high end retail outlets will be charging exhorbitant prices.

Anyway, decided to visit this eatery. I have been here before some years back and I remember the food was good and the portions reasonably large. But theres nothing compared to Tony Romas, everyone else looks small after going there. We ordered the seafood chowder, the Manhattan's ceaser salad and the mix seafood platter for two. I personally love the seafood chowder but my wife thinks its not so tasty.
The main course as usual, typical Manhattan style using the flame burner heating it up leaving a slight after taste of the burnt fuel. I always wondered doing it this why will it improve the taste. It was a good evening, good food with reasonable proportions at reasonable prices.

Tony Romas.

Not been to Sunway Pyramid for ages. My wife wanted a nice proper dinner setting for my birthday so off we went there. We were deciding on a place hence this place two floors above the skating ring. I heard so much about this place. The food comes in huge portions, I could finish my order and had to have a doggy bag.


We started with the onion loaf that was nice. Onions nicely packed into a round circle. Tasted somewhat like onion rings to me. I ordered the Swiss beef cheese sandwich (I think) and the misses had the Romas ribs combo. The sandwich came with a grilled slices of bread that was not the standard size that we can get outside. I particularly loved the ribs as it was tender and juicy.

Overall it was a good experience with a fantastic setting. The service was above excellence and would definately revisit this place again.

Korean.

I seldom have korean food so dinner the other day was a no brainer when we were at Puchong and we saw this Korean restaurant. It some BBQ thingy that had this long funnel that protrudes out from the roof of the restaurant. I am so new with Korean food that I can't even remember the names of what we ordered. It was a refreshing change from the normaly setting and the side dishes were refilled FOC. Countrary to my own believe, it didn't look anything like Japanese food. Korean food seem to have more sour and pickled vegetable on offer.
Anyway had a good time and I came home smelling like a been to a BBQ with all the some accumulated in the restaurant.

Kenny Rogers.

I was thinking of what to have for dinner and thought of my good friend la. Need to eat some and write about this fanfastic chicken that I heard so much about.... So went to the closest rooste chicken in Puchong, Kenny Rogers IOI two days ago. Wasn't that hungry so ordered half a chicken and shared it with the misses. Also ordered the ceaser salad too. I must say the ceasar salad was tasty. The dressing was just right, not too heavy or not to dry. Was pricey thought. One of the finer points of the serving was that they come with a generous helping of gravy which I always enjoy. And Jen if you are reading this...when are you buying me the nest Kenny Rogers meal???

Nando's.

Was at Nando's recently. Wasn't my idea but Karen's. She seem to love Nanado's chicken so much. Must been one of her trips to South Africa. This time I didn't order the chicken just the chicken burger. Hot!!! I must say the burger didn't taste like any fast food burger I had. Must have been the loaf. The loaf was definately memorable. Hard on the outside and yet soft inside, like all western breads. Will try this again but maybe with the beef steak in it.


Esquire kitchen Puchong.

Was at Tesco, Puchong yesterday afternoon shopping. Was shopping around for food too. Didn't have breakfast so was very humgry during lunch time. Some how the food outlets there don't appeal to me. I hve not been to an eatery ther that has something good to offer. Walk past the Esquire kitchen. Had not been to this outlet before and not been to Esquire Kitchen for many years now. I wondered why??
Anyway my wife and I walked in. They had the sets available so we ordered the curry chicken noodles for myself, "char cheong mien" my wife ordered and a place of fried wantan.
The food was pretty decent, not great and pass able fair. This place offering comes with their small plates with the restaurant feeling with average priced food.
Had a quick lunch and maybe will be return anytime soon. Not because the food was bad but because it's not memorable.
