CNY Eve Reunion Course Dinner @ Goh Teo Kee

2012-01-31T16:44:00.001+08:00

This year, we held our reunion dinner at another restaurant which is nearer to our house than last year. We went to Goh Teo Kee which located at Taman Sri Nibong there. We have book one month ago when we were back in Penang for holiday. There is only one choice for the 8 course dinner and another one will be the Pun Choy Set. We ordered the 8 course dinner which cost RM698+ for 10 pax excluding drinks. Total we pay RM768 for whole dinner, kind of expensive for Penang price. Even though, the price was not cheap, the place was packed and noisy, all the waiter and waitress were not organised at all. I did not really enjoy my meal that day. They hired those part time foreign worker to work that day as many Chinese worker were on leave. They do not even know how to serve or what we said to them. The restaurant really just think of earning rather than having a good reputation on their name.

Let see what is the 8 course dinner have:

Prosperous "Yee Shang" with Salmon

The Yee Shang taste exactly like those packed Yee Shang we found in supermarket. Not nice at all, no one actually want to finish it but we were force too because dad said Yee Shang have to finish up to have more money on that year.

Luxury Four Season

(King Prawn, Soft Shell Crab, Japanese Octopus, Assorted Nut)

I like this dish a lot especially the Japanese Octopus (my favourite). Soft shell crab was one of their speciality dish in the restaurant that we always order during normal days. So no complaint on this dish.

Stewed Pork Ribs with Chetnut and Soya Skin

This dish was not bad actually. I did not see any pork rib inside but small pieces of pork meat. The meat was soft and easy to chew especially for my grandmother. It taste quite nice too but not warm when served.

Dried Scallop Seafood Shark Fin Soup

This dish should be served third but the waitress messed up with all table's dishes. Luckily, dad did bring the leaflet they gave that day and we checked out they miss out our shark fin soup. Normal shark fin soup, nothing to shout about. I did bite a lot of shark fin, real or not, I'm not sure.

Steamed Sea Grouper Fish with Chef's Sauce

Many people do not like this fish because it is not catch directly from sea but breed in the sea. The skin is rough and tasteless, not like those fish from the deep sea which has skin that is smoother and sweeter. The price also cheaper. Chef's sauce equal to soya sauce. Special? Neh...

Braised Australian Abalone with Dried Oyster and Fatt-Choy

Again they missed our dish. I was the one whole night keep tracking the dishes we had, how can I enjoy my meal. Normal stir fried broccoli with slice abalone, dried oyster and fatt choy. A prosperity dish that must have during CNY. Taste: Normal.

Deluxe Waxed Meat Lotus Leaf Rice

No one touches this dish, either they are full or this dish taste bad. I was the one who ate the most as I was still hungry after 6 dishes. Why? I didn't eat much as I kept calling the waiter and become the waitress for my family that night. This dish taste not bad at all, just no fragrance and a bit flat taste. My mom cook a lot better than this that's why no one touches the dish. At the end, we ta bao back and mom use her recipe to re-cook the rice from tasteless to good in the next morning.

Tang Yuan in Almond Soup

Actually it should be Tang Yuan in Red Bean Paste Soup but they burnt the soup when they served, it has a very strong smell of burnt which my dad insists them to change another type of dessert for us. Really gave us a bad impression for their food quality

We finished all the dishes was around 10pm and seeing lots of "shows" there. So, next year reunion dinner will most probably held in Hotel than those restaurants that cut throat and wont serve delicious food on CNY eve.

Carl's JR. | Bandar Sunway

2012-01-16T14:24:00.000+08:00

I know I'm a bit outdated to find myself to try this place for now. Anyway, I'm finally here. Big burgers on the way..Woohooo...Carl's Jr Malaysia outlet actually started in 23rd of July 2007. They have been operate for more than 4 years in Malaysia and I just started to try it out now.:(

I ordered their combo set which came with a burger, fries and free flow drink. If you want a medium size, just add addition RM1.50 and add addition RM3.00 to have large combo.

Free flow drink such as soft drink, cold tea, ice lemon tea and coffee

The photo above is the medium size drink which just add another RM1.50.

You will have to order from the counter but they will give a a number and your cup to fill your drink yourself at the drink counter. The waiters will served you your burger and fries once ready.

Here's our meal! Natural-cut fries taste really great compare to Mcd fries. It taste more natural and do not feel like eating plastic.

Carl's Catch Fish Sandwich-RM13.45

The burger come with two crispy battered fish fillets, tartar sauce, crisp lettuce and tomatoes on a sesame seed bun. I like this very much. The fish fillets really crispy and the potion was big. I can't manage to finish it all by myself.

Bacon Swiss Crispy Chicken Sandwich-RM18.45

This burger come with a crispy chicken fillet with melted cheese, crispy chicken bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and ranch sauce on the seeded bun. When I bite on the burger, first thing I heard was the crispy bite sound, it is the bacon really crispy and nice. I didn't really like the chicken fillet, a bit dry and it taste like chicken breast. overall the taste was great.

I still think the price was a bit pricey for burger although the potion was quite big.

Ding Tai Fung | Pavillion

2012-01-15T21:09:00.000+08:00

Din Tai Fung- a world famous restaurant over 10 countries. Everyone should know by now that Din Tai Fung is famous for its Xiao Long Bao which is a soup-filled dumpling with at least 18 delicate folds. So far, I have not try it out yet as it is always packed during weekend. After seeing interview about Din Tai Fung by Xiao Yan Jie, I can not stop myself to have it a try. It is really that good?

I went on Friday after work at Pavillion's outlet. The place wast packed, but we are lucky to get a place when we reach.

Lo Hon Kor 罗汉果-RM3.80

Herbal tea after a hot day, not very sweet, just nice for me.

Xiao Long Bao 小笼包(6 pcs)-RM9.80

A must try dish when you visit this place. Xiao Long Bao was served in hot. The skin was thin, just nice to chew. Put the whole xiao long bao into the mouth, one bite, the soup will flash out into our mouth. Second bite, you can taste the tender meat which taste really nice. Delicious! I like the thin, translucent skin that wont break off when you use the chopstick to pick it up. It will stick onto the chopstick nicely.

Pork Chop Fried Rice-RM15.50

The pork chop is marinated with the Chinese 5 spice powder which is quite strong. I do not like the taste as it smell kinda strong. The fried rice taste very normal, not quite up to my standard of a normal fried rice. It use egg, garlic and rice only. It do not have the fragrant of fried rice.

Shrimp Pork Fried Rice-RM15.00

The fried rice taste as the pork chop fried rice with added pork strips and shrimp. Although, my friend recommend that fried rice was good in the Taiwan's outlet, but Malaysia's outlet doesn't seem to get it right I think.

Golden Pumpkin with Salted Egg-RM10.80

It is deep fried slice pumpkin with salted egg. It is a bit salty but overall taste quite nice and unique.

Shrimp and Pork Shao Mai (6 pcs)-RM13.80

The skin was a bit thick compare to Xiao Long Bao. The technic use to make Xiao Long Bao is the same as this except they make the shape a bit different which can add a shrimp on top of it. When you eat, there is also soup inside the filling but the taste of the filling a bit different from Xiao Long Bao.

So far, only the Xiao Long Bao that impressed me. For other signature dishes, I can find much more better than those. I do not think there is anything good to shout about. I guess Malaysia have too many type of cuisine and good food we can find.

Boost Juice Bars | KLCC

2012-01-13T11:21:00.001+08:00

I spotted the deal months ago in Groupon which offer 2 low fat smoothies or crushes fro only RM11 instead of RM22. Immediately bought the deal since have been waiting to try it out very long time. The deal gave me the chance to try out at the same help me save money too.:)

Mostly all may know that Boost Juice Bar is a famous juice bar in Australia. Malaysia bring it in as franchise. Thanks to them we do not need to fly to Australia to try it out. There are 10 outlets in KL, Selangor and Penang that we can redeem the drinks. Since my office is just opposite KLCC, I went KLCC to use my voucher. I have ordered Mango Tango Crust and Watermelon Lychee Crust.

Mango Tango Crust

Mango, Passion Fruit, Mango Nectar, Tropical Juice, Sorbet and ice

Mango was strong in the drink, sweet and sour from the passion fruit. Not quite my kind of drink. But those who prefer mango may have a go.

Watermelon Lychee Crust

Freshly juice Watermelon, Lychee, Sorbet and Ice

I personally like watermelon very much. Watermelon combine with lychee gave you a refreshing taste. Sweet watermelon with strong lychee fragrance.Nice!

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. | The Curve

2012-01-01T21:55:00.002+08:00

I stopped by the Curve after some shopping in IKEA. Bubba Gump came by to my mind when I was thinking what to have for dinner. I have been trying to try out this place for months. As I remember there is another outlet in Sunway Pyramid which newly open. Anyway, I got The Curve outlet photo from their website. It is located on the first floor where you can directly take the staircase to reach the place.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is actually a theme restaurant inspired by the movie " Forest Gump", starring Tom Hanks. You will see a lot of Forest Gump sourvenirs in there. There is also a television near the counter where it will play the movie if you hasn't seen it before.

Since I'm first time to visit the place, the friendly waiter taught us how to use the signboard to call them. If you would like to call the waiter to serve you, just simply turn the signboard to " Stop Forrest Stop", they will come over immediately.

" Run Forrest Run" mean keep doing what you are doing without any waiters to be disturb.

Soft Drink(Free Flow)-RM7.90
There are lots of variety on drinks where you can even take their special glass home by paying RM18.90.

Hush Pups-RM19.90

Tasty Shrimp and Fish with golden Corn, deep fried and served with a Remoulade Dippin' Sauce.

I just simply love this, crunchy and nice, every bite of shrimp and fish, yummy!

Crazy Cajun Chicken-RM28.90

Grilled boneless Chicken Thighs are lightly dusted with Cajun Spices and served over Seasonal Veggies and Mashed Potatoes.

I like this very much, the cajun sauce really suit the grilled chicken and make it taste great. Although it stated mashed potatoes but above it are strips of potato chips. When you taste the mashed potatoes, you can instantly smell the aroma of butter. It taste really good.

Barbecue Chicken-RM23.90

Delicious grilled Chicken with Barbeque Sauce served with Fries and Coleslaw

The grilled chicken were cold when served, I prefer to be served in hot. Two pieces of Chicken Thigh were served, 1 small and 1 big. The potion is enough for a medium size person.The taste was not bad, like those BBQ chicken with BBQ sauce. There is a logo on the menu stated as their famous dish for this but I don't think so.

Will I come back? I definitely will. I like the environment and the food.

My Elephant Thai Restaurant | Section 17

2011-12-20T21:18:00.001+08:00

Last week was my brother's birthday and he picked this place to celebrate his 22th Birthday. It is located at Section 17, under the apartment block. This place served all Thai food, for those who love thai food should come over and try it out. There is another outlet located in Hartamas.

The design of the place has the fine dinning setting and it looks very comfort inside. I heard from my brother that the place have to make reservation to dine-in as it is always packed during dinner time even in weekdays. So it is better to call for reservation before you dine-in.

KrapChiap Cooler(Thai Roselle)-RM3.00

I love this Roselle drink, not very sweet and very refreshing. Must have!

Khai Jiao Ho Mok-RM15

This is their special egg omelette with fish otak-otak. Since brother want some omelette, the waiter recommend us to order one of their speciality omelette. I don't really like the taste as it has a lot of herbs and anyway where is the otak-otak?

Gai Tod Gratiam Prik Thai-RM15

This is their special deep fried chicken strips with Kaffic lime leaf, garlic and crushed thai peppercone. I like this dish very much, very crispy and good. Must try!

Plah Meuk Yang Prik Klue-RM21

This is the grilled squid with chilli and salt which is recommended by the waiter there. It taste really good but a bit spicy to me. Must try!

Tom Som with Seafood-RM20

Clear Galangal, Lemongrass and Lime Soup with aromatic thai herbs. This is their best selling soup and they recommend it with fish but we ordered the seafood because brother like seafood a lot. The soup was quite spicy, mom wasn't dare to take much. Although the soup looks clear but it really have the spiciness like those tom yam soup. Only 2 big prawns in the soup?

Jungle Vegetable of the day (Paku)-RM15

They served different vegetables everyday and normally they have like paku, egg plant, four angled bean, kang kung and hunag di miao. I like the paku, stir fried with chilli and onion, always my favourite vegetable.

The rice served here is actually a mixture of Jasmine rice and Brown rice which we can hardly see any restaurants provide it now days. It is RM3 per pax for dine in and RM5 per box for take-away. They served the rice in a big bowl which you take as much as you can eat however they do stated in their menu that " Our per pax " Dine-in" rice is "All you can eat " hence we do not allow take away from leftover of the serving rice bowl."

Kimchi Korean Restaurant | Tropicana City Mall

2011-12-08T22:54:00.001+08:00

I brought my brother to visit this shop since he has not try any Korean Food before. We have pass through this shop for many times but never try it out. The design of the shop was quite simply and nice. it actually located beside the Otak-Otak place, very easy to spot the pinky signboard but the shop name is abit small.

Orders came along with 6 side dishes. The side dishes are more to our Malaysian's taste.

Tak Book Ko Kee (chicken) -RM 38.80

The potion is quite big, enough for 3 person. I personally like it very much especially the sauce. It is a bit spicy and sweet mix up with cabbage, mushrooms, chilli and chicken meat. There are two choices to choose from either chicken or seafood.

Kimchi Jjgae-RM 18.80

The soup wasn't really nice except it taste spicy only.

Dwen Jang Jjigae-RM16.80

We ordered the seafood Bean Paste which came with some shrimp, clams, tofu and mushrooms. The taste wasn't strong at all. Like I mentioned before I love Doenjang Jjigae very much but this really disappointed me.

Pa Jeon-RM16.80

Korean Pancake that have no taste and the pancake is so soggy. Barely anyone want to continue after the 1st try. I can said that it is a bit failure on the pancake.

Aladdin the Musical-Gala Premier

2011-12-03T22:51:00.002+08:00

Last Friday, I got free tickets from AllMalaysia.info to watch the gala premier of Aladdin the Musical which was presented at Sunway Lagoon. The show was suppose to start at 8pm but due to the rain and VIPs, they have to delay the show to around 9pm.

This is the entrance to the show. JD and Dilly-Mixfm DJs were there too with costumes.

A very nice stage which really bring out the feel of middle east.

The market place where Aladdin meet Jasmine (the princess). In the show, there are some chickens(real livestocks) wandering around the place. We were so attracted by the chicks and chickens at that time..haha..

The hip-hop Genie that dance whenever he was call. Very funny genie. He even dance the Nobody Nobody korean song.

The flying carpet which Genie provide for Aladdin to impress Jasmine.

See the video below:

Lastly, the dancers bowed for the end of the show.

All the dancers and cast prepare to say goodbye.

Too many photos in my computers which unable for me to load everything in, I just picked some of them. You can still see it from my FB photos. I love the show. It is not the original Aladdin story we watch in the movie but the storyline is the same except that it is more modern and funnier show with lots of recently songs I always listen in Mixfm.

For your information, in case you are interested in the show. The musical start from 25 Nov 2011- 2 Jan-2012. There is still plenty of time for you to watch it with your friends and family.

Mureung Dowon Korean Restaurant | Jalan Ampang

2011-11-26T21:00:00.003+08:00

Thanks to Everyday.com.my, I have the opportunity to visit this place. It is a Korean Restaurant at Jalan Ampang, which is located near Ampang Point, 2nd floor of CIMB bank building. It was a bit hard for me to find the place as you can only see the shop if you walk through CIMB bank but while driving, we hardly spot it. I guess it was the location that make it hard for people to come over. The location was a bit crowded during at night when all those small malay's stalls started their business at the road side. But when we arrived to Mureung Dowon, it was so much different from the outside, it is like we have arrived to a beautiful garden where the whole place was decorated by light white colour. It make the whole environment feel soft and cozy.

I bought the coupon for only RM35 to enjoy RM80 meal. It was worth as the food quite suit my taste after a few reviews on Korean Food. I like this place very much. Let me introduce what they offer from the coupon. Basically, we can choose either

Samgyeop-sal + Doenjang-Stewed + 2 Steamed Rice (2 pax)

2 Sets Of Bulgogi + 2 Steamed Rice

Since I can't take beef, so I ordered the Samgyeop-sal + Doenjang-Stewed + 2 Steamed Rice set.

For this restaurant, they came with 9 side dishes which is called the Banchan. I like those side dishes very much especially the calms with green chilli and spicy anchovies with groundnuts.

Since we ordered the BBQ sets,we are given a bowl of spring onions, their speciality sauce, green chillies, garlic and lettuces to go with Samgyeop-sal. I personally do not like spring onions but this impress me, I was able to eat it without complaining because it do not have the smell of spring onions plus it is very nice to go with the sauce on top.

Samgyeop-sal is the sliced pork belly that we will wrap in the lettuce with a little of garlic, mushrooms, any kind of side dishes u prefer to go with and then we will roll up and eat it. It will be grilled by the waiter and cut it into small pieces like I have mentioned in the previous post.

Doenjang-Stewed is called soy bean-paste stew which is mede from bean paste, vegetable and tofu. I like this very much. If you can not take Kimchi Jjigae, I recommend you to order this, you will love it once you try it. I personally like Donjang Jjigae more than Kimchi Jjigae and I will order Donjang Jjigae everytime I'm in Korean Restaurant. This place really have very good Donjang Jjigae compare to what I have try so far but the potion was a bit small.

Will I come back again? The answer yes for sure for the food. The variety of food weren't much, they have a few variety of Jjigae (Stew or soup) and some BBQ ingredients. The price was quite reasonable, to have the exact I think is around RM20 -RM40 per dish. I wanted to order Pajeon but they did not have it. I hope they can re-think to add-in on their menu. :)

Seo Gung Korean Restaurant | SS2

2011-11-19T12:50:00.002+08:00

Browsing through some blogs the other day and saw some good comments on this Korean Restaurant. At the same time, I was craving for Korean food. *ta-da* I knew immediately what I should have for dinner that day. Seo Gung Korean BBQ restaurant is located at SS2 which is same row as Yu Yang Sang and just above King's Confectionery. Every easy to spot the place.

The design of the place's layout was simple with tables and floor sitting arrangement. Nothing fancy at the place. I went around 7.30pm and the place was not packed at all during Saturday. They provided a few types of BBQ combo meals according to the number of guests and also a variety of ala carte.

We ordered the BBQ combo 4 which is cost RM79. It included Samgyeop-Sal, Dak-Galbi, Kimchi-Jigae and Dolsot Bibim-Bap. In case you are new to these words, do not worry, I will explain it one by one below.

When having meal in Korean Restaurant, no matter what you order, always come with some small side dishes which can be refilled. It is actually complimentary dishes so it is free! In Seo Gung, they provide 10 small side dishes like the above photos. Some Korean restaurants only provide 6-8 side dishes. Banchan named in Korean for side dishes. Banchan in different Korean Restaurant will serve differently, it is not fix to the same ingredients except that you will surely find Kimchi in every Korean's side dishes. All the side dishes taste not bad which I managed to finish it all without refilling.

Samgyeop-Sal is sliced pork belly which it is grilled at the dinner table. It will come with some big onions to be grill together. No oil was used in the hot plate as the pork belly will produce the oil itself which won't stick to the hot plate. Don't worry, the meat won't burned.

For your information, all Korean Restaurant's table come will grill hot plate. In case you are wondering if you have to DIY the meat, let me tell you. Please Do Not DIY, they will have waiter to grilled it for you and cut into pieces so that you can be served like a King. You just have to sit back, relax and watch to enjoy your meal.

Dak-Galbi is marinated chicken ribs which is also a grill dish that is popular in South Korea. It is marinated with their own recipe's sauce.

If you do not know what to do when you saw a plate of lettuces and you remembered that you did not ordered it. Let me tell you, lettuce and raw garlic come together when you order samgyeop-sal. It is use to wrap the meat to consume. A common way to consume is to place a slice of the cooked meat on a leaf of lettuce with some side dishes and dipping sauce (chilli paste), then to roll it up in the leaf and eat it. You can even add it some rice depends on your preference.

Gyeran Jjim is Korean steamed egg with normally eat with banchan. The steamed egg taste great but just a bit hard in the inside. I still prefer light and smooth steamed egg.

Dolsot Bibim-Bap is one of the Korean's signature dish which mean mix dish. It is served in a hot stone bowl with a layer of rice at the bottom, some seasoned vegetables and a fried egg on top. You will have to mix it together before eating. I don't really like it as it taste very dry. The overall taste still acceptable.

Kimchi-Jjigae is one type of Jjigae (some kind of soup with lots of ingredients either with seafood, chicken , pork, beef or vegetables). Kimchi-Jjigae is made with kimchi and other vegetables ingredients. It taste similar to the side dish-Kimchi except that it is now cooked with soup base. If you personally do not like Kimchi itself, I do not think you will like this either.

For drinks, we order green tea which cost only RM2. Overall, the combo meal we ordered are far more enough for two persons to consume. I think 3 persons are more suitable for the combo. Anyway, the rice are not included in the combo meals, you can order it separately which is RM5 per bowl if not mistaken. The price was quite reasonable, I will still come back for more soon. :)

Roads in between

2011-11-06T13:51:00.000+08:00

23 years of walking through rain and sunshine, I guess it is time for me have a stop and rest.

Thinking of which directions I should take, left or right?

Where do these roads lead to? No one knows.

Thinking of the bright side for both roads, listening to comments for both roads.

I am born lucky to have everything I wanted, but it will not last me forever.

For now, I must choose a road to continue as it is now the time, the challenge I must face.

Where do these roads bring me? Happy or Sad? Rich or Poor?

I must decide, I must decide now.

To gain there are sacrifices to be made.

To sacrifices there are tears in every eyes.

Tears will make me strong, where heart is the guide I follow.

Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant | Subang

2011-10-28T14:39:00.009+08:00

Let me bring you back to my favourite Japanese food which I have not reviewing about Japanese Food for one month now. My friend recommended me to try out this place after all it is quite famous in Subang. There are a few Japanese Restaurants that located the same row as Rakuzen and it might be a bit confusing on your choice of restaurant to visit. I was told that Rakunzen was the first Japanese Restaurant to start their business there and years by years, others restaurants build up. There are a few outlets in KL like Sri Hartamas and Empire Shopping Mall. In addition, Kura (One World Hotel) and Hokkaido Ichiba (The Garden) are owned by them too. From all of the outlets, my friend still prefer the first outlet which is Rakuzen Subang.

It was quite packed that day when we arrived although the clock is showing 8.45pm. You can still see lots of people lining up to wait for their seat. There are two floors in the restaurants and we got ourselves the ground floor which is a bit noisy compare to the upper one.

I was browsing through their website and saw that they are having Autumn Special Dishes, you can view the menu below:

Let's look at what I have ordered during the visit.

Chuka Iidako-RM10

I just simply love Baby Octopus. I can't missed to order one since I'm in Japanese Restaurant. Although the plate they served was a bit small, but the size of the Baby Octopus aren't small at all. For that price and that size, I should have order more. Of course the Baby Octopus is fresh, it is really fresh. With some sesame of it, it is irresistible!

S. Nameko Udon-RM18

"Nameko" mean a type of small amber brown mushroom that is normally cooked with miso soup. I love Udon's soup more than Ramen's soup, always clear and sweet. This potion is quite big for me, I did not manage to finish to whole bowl myself. But I really like it very much.

Salmon Skin-RM12

Crispy, crunchy, brittle and light. A flavourful snack to me. You can not stop eating it, it make you love it even more with every bite. A few drop of soya sauce onto the salmon skin add more flavour into it.

Spider Maki-RM22

Spider Maki is actually a rolled sushi filled with flavoured soft shell crab. It is served with mayonnaise on top and fish roe all over the roll. The potion is a bit small, only suitable for 2 person or even 1 person but the Maki is quite compact.

Unajyu Zen-RM48

Unajyu Zen is where Unagi is served on top of the rice with the sauce, a bit different from Unagi Zen where Unagi and rice are separated onto different plate and bowl. So, it really depends on one's taste whether to like it mix up or separate. My friend like the sauce to absorb into the rice which give more flavour to the whole dish. Unajyu Zen come with miso soup, chawan mushi, potatoes salad and fruits. My friend complaint about the potion that is getting smaller as the Unagi is only served one piece where last time they served two pieces. Overall the taste is still no bad.

Fish & Co. seafood in a pan | 1 Utama Shopping Centre

2011-10-26T20:18:00.006+08:00

We went to Neway Karaoke Box the other day in 1 Utama. We came out and found a place to have dinner. *Tadaa* we walked and spotted this place. It was really packed at that time and we waited around 15 minutes to get ourselves a seat.

Fish & Co. is one of Sinagapore's Leading Restaurant Chains and expanded into Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillipines and the Middle East now. Fish & Co. began its operations in 1998 amidst the Asian regional economic crisis and was owned by two partners - Ricky Chew and Lambert Yeo. Driven by a passion to provide a unique dining experience, made memorable by outstanding service and customer care, the founders began conjuring the Fish & Co. dream. (taken from http://www.fish-co.com)

Soup of the day

We added RM7.50 when we order the main course with a soup of the day and a choice of their signature drink-Kola Tonic or Passion Fruit. I like the soup very much, very creamy mushroom soup with some bread crumbs in it. Really taste delicious!

Italian Fish & Chips-RM14.90

Fish & Chips stuffed with stringy mozzarella and spice in that lightly battered fish and topped with lemon butter sauce. How is the taste? Irresistible and yummy.

Seafood Platter for two-RM 48.90

Platter for seasonal fish, calamari, prawn and mussels in creamy garlic and lemon butter sauce, all served on a bed of rice and cheese. It is a very big potion that is enough for 3 persons instead of two. I love all of it no matter the fish or the prawn, the calamari or the mussels, all taste marvellous. I love the grilled fish, soft with great taste.

Going to come back for more very soon. I think it is much more better than the Manhattan Fish Market plus the price is quite reasonable too.

Alexis Bistro |Ampang

2011-10-24T23:47:00.001+08:00

Finally I got the photos from my colleague to finish up my review for Alexis. Alexis is the place I came about and was suggested by some colleagues to celebrate Ginny's farewell. We visited the nearest outlet from our office which is located at Great Eastern Mall. The place is 5,000 sq ft. which can fit in 150 seats and private room with 24 seats.

Every Friday and Saturdays night, Alexis Bistro brings you live jazz performances showcases internationally renowned musicians and local legends. The performances normally start around 10pm.

Caesar Salad-RM19

Served with beef bacon and parmesan

Baked Button Mushroom-RM16

Fresh button mushroom with the special cheesy sauce, taste really nice. Must Try!

Angelhair Aglio Olio-RM 40

with grilled yabbies, extra virgin oil

My first impression for this dish is another "nice look but not to eat" dish. I always believe that simply dish decorated with expensive ingredients won't bring good taste to the dish. This indeed appear to this dish. The taste doesn't match the grilled yabbies at all.

Linguine Vongole-RM34

served with fresh clams and chardonnay sauce

Lightly Fried Calamari Rings-RM18

Everyone love fried calamari and this did not disappoint us and we ordered 2 plates.

Chilli Salt Chicken Wings-RM16

The marinated chicken meat is tender and juicy, combination with chilli makes a interesting dish.

Ai Frutti Di Mare-RM38

served with seafood, tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh herbs

Thin crust pizza with lots of seafood on top but it is lacking of flavour. I guess they too emphasize on the seafood where they missed the important part which is the pizza dough and tomatoes paste.

Tiramisu-RM15

It was highly recommended by my colleagues, a must try dessert if you are in Alexis. I got shocked at first when looking at the cake. I never thought that Tiramisu could have fancy look with nuts all over it. It look very nice and taste not bad too.

Pavlova-RM15

I like this cake compare to Tiramisu, although both share the same sweetness. The crispy crust on the outer and light and soft inner with berries just can not resists to have one more bite.

Restaurant Jeonju Myoungga, Korean BBQ | Seri Hartamas

2011-10-16T22:17:00.001+08:00

I bought a voucher on Korean food from Everyday.com.my in July. However, I managed to spare time to visit the place 2 days before the voucher expired. It is located at Desa Sri Hartamas and the location is very easily to be spotted because of it big and bright signboard. The name of the restaurant is Jeonju Myoungga which takes after a very famous restaurant brand in Jeonju. Jeonju is located in South Korea and it is famous for its Korean food. Besides, the owner and his wife were born in Jeonju.

I purchased for Korean Full Set Meal Jeonju Baek Ban for 2 persons at RM27 (original price RM55).

What I get from the Set Meal are:

Kimchi Jjigae (Kimchi Stew)
Doenjang Jjigae (Bean Paste Stew)
Steamed Egg
Stir-fried Spicy Pork
Grilled Fish
8 Side Dishes
2 Steam Cooked Rice

The meal come with cold water that I could refill for two time. However, the water was more than enough for both of us.

8 side dishes that we could refill. Those 8 side dishes are kimchi, crab stick, fried groundnut and anchovies, fried bean sprout, fried long bean, boiled carrot and potatoes, wakame seaweed and kimchi pineapple.

Grilled Fish

This Korean Grilled Fish just look like those deep fried fish, but the fish does not bring crunchiness like it looks like to be. It taste very normal, nothing much to boost about.

Doenjang Jjigae ( Bean Paste Stew)

Doenjang Jjigae is one of the traditional Korean stewed dish made with fermented soybean paste. The distinctive taste of this dish makes it distinguishable from other stews. It taste really good. I personally like it very much. Do not miss this all-time favourite dish!

Steamed Egg

Simple and yummy egg dish.

Kimchi Jjigae (Kimchi Stew)

Kimchi Jjigae is a stewed dish made with kimchi along with other ingredients such as tofu, pork and vegetable. It is rich in flavour and best to have with rice. I personally do not quite fancy this kimchi stew as it make me feel thirsty.

Stir-fried Spicy Pork

This dish is prepared with the Korean red pepper paste. It is a spicy Korean food. For Malaysians out there, it is totally palatable to your taste bud! I love it very much.

Korean Steamed Rice

The rice are more sticky than those normal Malaysian rice we had. One bowl is enough to make you feel full for the whole night.

Pajeon (Korean Pancake)

Pajeon is a pancake-like korean dish with green onion as its prominent ingredient. The pajeon is a bit oily but it taste quite nice. Pajeon was not listed in the voucher, I guess it is an additional complimentary dish from the restaurant.

Overall I like the place and food, I guess I'll be coming back very soon.
