Tim Sum at Genting.

On the final morning in Genting, had tim sum at the Good Friend's restaurant at Hotel genting. I wonder why they it that. Must be something to do with gambling and lending money from friend's when all is lost I guess. It was tasted pretty decent. I remembered that whenever I am here with some family members we always go to the Coffee terrance and this restaurant for our meals. It seems to be an automatic thing. I wonder maybe in my mind its the most family orientated place here. Took a few snaps of what we had, nothing special but the ambience and temperature makes it unique here.

Cuppuccino Popcorn.

While walking at resort world, I pass a small crowd at peering thru a glass window looking at something. I was curious myself and this is what I found. The largest pot of popcorn I seen in my life. There were a few dudes stirring this big pot with a large ladel. The sign says Cappuccino Popcorn. Didn't try it but looked interesting.




Genting Terrace House Buffet.

Spent the weekend at Genting Highlands with the family. Needed to get away from all the work and schedule I been having for the last few months. Managed to get a room at the First World Hotel at no charge from a friend. The wife visited the casino whilst i had a look around the place. For dinner, we when to Hotel Genting at the coffee house for a buffet. I has one of the largest spread of buffet I seen around town. The food was good too. My wife and I mainly concentrated on the Japanese buffet, sushi and tempura.
What I enjoyed was that they had a chef stir frying the green leafy vegetables on the spot for you. It was real tasty.

Ten Tien Fatt.

Prior making a move to Genting, we had lunch here at this coffee shop at USJ. I seldom have economy rice but the "chap fan" here is very tasty. I had it onces before a few weeks ago and it was good. the spread and choices for the dishes were ample. Wife ordered the chicken rice, nothing fanstastic there but definitaly I will come back for the 'chap fan'.

Kiwi Express Bandar Puteri.

Yesterday evening decided to drive to Taipan Subang Jaya to look for some Japanese food. The wife and I wanted some light food. Was told by a friend that there was some Japanese restaurant there that offers some nice food. After circling for a few rounds at the square, we could find any Japanese restaurant. So off we went to Bandar Puteri Puchong to look for some other restaurant. Wanted to go for some Shabu Shabu near the Citibank but there was no parking, made a detour to the Bumbu Bali side. Finally show a Japanese Ala Carte restaurant. Had to look around and the menu, there was no one inside. My wife and I made it a point that if the restaurant is empty we don't visit it.
We got fed up of driving around and across the road from this Japanese place we saw Kiwi Express. So decided to go in. First impression was that the decour does not match the type of fancy restaurant setting. For a Kiwi place, they had some Balinese water fountain in this place. I wonder why????But if the term 'express' means fast food, then the price is a bit steep to be any fast food.
We ordered the set meals that comes with soup of the day, mains and dessert or coffee or tea. I ordered the Corden Bleu Chicken and while the wife the seafood combo. After my experience at Look Out Point, I had developed a phobia for seafoods at untested eateries. Sure enough the fish fillet was undercooked. Had to return it to be recooked. But it had that extremely fishy taste. I had one bite that about it. We didn't eat the fish fillet even when they changed it. The prawns were not fresh. Somehow this makes me more worried about sea food combos. However the Chicken was nice. It comes served with potatoes mixed with onions and fried onions decor on the sides. The chicken was not a dissapointment.
The night turned out to be rather interesting. From look for Japanese food and ended up with western and some bad sea food. Would I return? I think twice unless there is some one who really wants to go.

Just Thai.

We went to this place a couple of weeks ago but I just didn't have the time to post it due to computer problems. It was at this Thai restaurant at 1 Utama new wing. I had some dissapointing Thai food two weeks back at IOI mall so I was abit apprehensive about going for Thai again. But since it was at 1 Utama, I thought what the heck. A reputable place will have lots of patrons and this place was packed. We had to wait to be seated. Luckly we brought our pram for little Isabel to sleep in.


The set up of the place was nice and cosy. I always wondered shy nice restaurants keep thier lighting low. Maybe it because that they don't want us to see thier food clearly whilst we eat it? I ordered the Typical Thai fair, tomyam with pineapple rice and pandan leave wrapped chicken.

It was ok. Definately will go back again for the ambience.
