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.

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.

Food Poisoning.

Has a bout of food poison for the past week. I must have been the makan over at the look out point. It was so bad that I had to see the doctor twice in two days. Initially the Dr. didn't give me any antibiotics but prescriped it later. It worked.
I will never go there again to eat at the same place again!!!

Tim Sum.

Was at 1 Utama for Tim Sum today. They have the 50% off during week days special on selected Tim Sum. Was there with the family. This place has one of the "freshes" Tim Sum I ever tasted. Fresh off the steamer. Took some shots of the offerings but not all. Offers value for money food here.

Look Out Point.

Was told by one of my firend about this place at the hill top that we can view the whole of K.L. city and have dinner at the same time. Got some directions to go to that place but it was so vague that i never actually wanted to go. So last night made an effort to look it up in the internet and got some direction from one of the blog sites about this place. Followed the directions perfectly and we were there. The place is located near Pandan Indah. It's a bitch looking for the place if you don't have the proper directions.
Arrived there close to 8 pm. There were many cars there already. The crowd was slowly starting to build up as the evening goes by. It a bit chilly up the hill but bearable last night. Maybe it was the hot weather we are getting. Found the western food restaurant and the view was fantastic. The place definately gives you the view of all of K.L.
Me and my wife ordered the seafood combo lamb and seafood combo beef respectively. The food turns out to be a great dissapointment. The meat is tasteless and the fish taste real fishy and the lamb and meat was overdone. I don't recommend the food there but the view of K.L. just makes you forget the bad food. I guess many people dine there because that's probably the only place offering a full meal menu (there were two other place next to it but had much fewer people).

Cheong Wah Puchong Again.

Had some friends over last week in the house. During dinner time all of us didn't know where to go. Didn't fancy heavy stuff but due to the heat of the day the place must be aircon. So decide to visit Cheong Wah in Puchong where we had Isabel's full moon do. Ordered something different from what we had the other day. Since there were only four of us, so we decide to have only four dishes. The Szechuan Tauhu was a pleasant surprise. And of course the every delicious sweet sour pork ribs. This place gives value for money.

Tattoo.

Managed to take this two snaps of my nieces tattoo. Didn't ask whether they are permanent or not (looks permanent) but it looks faded to me. I personally don't like tattoes on women. Make them look unladylike. However if a woman would like a tattoo I would prefer it around the navel area. Some where you can hide it la... As for these two. A little bit of colour on it will probably enhance the tattoo better. Cheerio!!!

Xin ZhiZun Revisited.

Had another round of dinner at this place tonight. It was so memorable the last time I was there, we decided to go there again for a family fgathering dinner. Ordered some of the similar dishes we had last time but added three new fares. The curry prawns, asam fish and salted egg yoke crab. I just had a taste of the crab as I wasn't much a fan of it but it was tasty. The asam fish leaves me craving for more the next time around. of course also ordered my all time favourite there, the "shang har" mee abet a bigger plate this time round.
The place as usual lots of customers and diners there. Couldn't even get a place to sit. Manage to get three tables for the family. As usual the price of the meal was very reasonable. Will be back again..He..He...He!!!
