dinner @ el cerdo, changkat bkt bintang




3 little pigs on the menu



Ribs-rm68. U will need to use your hands to eat this. Really liked the mango salad at the side




Spaghetti with pork meatballs. Very yummy dish as the pork meatballs were of high quality

d'italiane kitchen, jaya 33




Duck aglio olio - rm29.90



Fried gnocchi - rm19.90. Fried potato with turkey bits. Very good!!



Belgian waffle with ice cream. Not what I expected. It's just like the regular waffle at a&w



lunch @ grand imperial kitchen, empire shopping gallery

Decided to give this place a try as we believe it's under the grand imperial group. But they offer quick dishes and dim sum as compared to their parent that serves fine dining Chinese cuisine


Fried rice with anchovies and fried egg - rm13.30. The lunch set came with a drink (either soya bean or grass jelly). This dish was garnished with a lot of crispy anchovies. But it was too salty as the fried rice was already salty. So when taken together with the anchovies, it's really too salty


La mian soup with preserved vegetables and pork strips - rm13.30. This set also came with either a glass of soya bean or grass jelly drink. This dish was also quite salty but not as bad as the fried rice.

spaghetti grill, mid valley




Spicy dory fish panini - rm11.50. The lunch set came with refillable soft drinks. The panini was freshly toasted n I really liked the salad in the sandwich. Overall value for money considering the portion and the restaurant's ambience.



poon kee desserts, bandar puteri puchong







Decided to stop by at this shop as the soya bean stall was closed for the day. It's no surprise that this shop was crowded as they offer a wide variety of desserts at reasonable prices. Ordered the wheat barley and black glutinous rice desserts priced at rm2.60 each. I'd say that the desserts were better than the average desserts u get at pasar malam and dessert shops in ss2. Furthermore they serve curry Chee Cheong fun n deep fried popiah which are fried as you order. Will drop by again to try it's chee Cheong fun next time

lunch @ tengkat tong shin char kuey teow




Cute logo of the owners greets diners at the shop




Large char kuey teow+mee - rm6.50. Lives up to its name as one of the best ckt in kl. The noodles are topped with crispy slices of Chinese sausage n 2 large prawns. It's not easy to find such traditional tasting ckt nowadays so this place is highly recommended!



2 rolls of popiah - rm3.60. The difference in this popiah is that the sweet sauce n chilli sauce are spread on top of the popiah rather than inside the popiah. However the taste was below expectations as the filling was cold n it lacked the crunchiness of cucumber strips

lunch @ esquire kitchen, mid valley





Pork chop with rice - rm10.90. Eating this was a bad experience cos the pork chop dropped on my dress! Anyway back to the dish, I find the sauce too salty n the pork chop over-fried making it less tender than it should


Roast chicken rice.


Pork balls - rm5 for 5 pieces. There's nothing special about this dish. Tastes just like any other pork balls at other places

lunch @ sugimoto, desa sri hartamas




My bento set comprising salad, Tori karaage (fried boneless chicken), agedashi dofu n fruits. As always the agedashi dofu is silky smooth n melts in ur mouth. The set also came with a choice of white Japanese rice or garlic rice, miso soup n chawan mushi. At the price of rm16 per set, this makes for an affordable n filling lunch. Note that this place is closed on Mondays.

lunch @ the bakery, sri hartamas




Spaghetti carbonara with turkey ham. Thumbs up for this dish. Very creamy sauce n generous serving of turkey ham slices. Must try!

spaghetti Alfredo. Tastes good with slight hint of the sweetness of carrot. Worth giving it a try

cheese cake for dessert. This was a pleasant surprise. The cake was so light but not as light as Japanese cheese cake but at the same time not as rich as the typical new York cheese cake. The cream cheese was just beaten to perfection. Good!!

dinner @ fong lye, gardens




Soup noodles with fried chicken chop - rm18.80

The noodles was sub-standard but chicken chop was good n crispy. A bit on the salty side though

lunch @ win soon fish head noodles, bandar puteri puchong




Fish paste mee hoon - rm7.50. This place is popular due to the comfortable ambiance, reasonable prices and generous portions. It's air-conditioned which is a super positive point to enjoy this hot dish. Slightly disappointed that the fried cuttlefish balls were sold out though. And, u may want to order 1 bowl for sharing between 2 ppl. I only managed to finish half of the portion.

yum cha @ fun taipei, ss2




Taiwanese sausage - rm6..no complaints about the taste as it's pretty standard..would have been better if they were cut into thicker slices




Saw an abandoned kitty outside one of the shops as I was walking back to the car..poor kitty..I hope someone picked it up

dinner @ italiannies, gardens




Prawn aglio olio..didn't meet my expectations..not spicy enough n didn't taste a bit like the standard version




Salmon pizza..can't comment cos I didn't eat this dish

Total bill was rm38.20 per person with 1 iced lemon tea each which was quite reasonable given the portion n ambience

lunch @ pasta zanmai, hartamas shopping centre





Chicken teriyaki - rm13.90. Looks good but tastes alright




Strawberry parfait - rm14.90

Luk Suk Kopitiam, Gurney Drive Penang



Penang lobak - 4 pieces at RM7












Penang Char Kuey Teow - medium @ RM3

Siam Express, Queensbay Mall Penang



Green curry with chicken












Stir fried tofu with minced chicken and mushroom











Fried kangkung with belacan










Total bill came up to approximately RM53 for two persons

Alexis @ Gardens

Came here with some ex-colleagues for a quick catch-up..damage for the night was RM56 per person
Appetiser 1 - Saute mushrooms @ RM16. Packed with creamy sauce and served with toasted baguette..yummy....

Appetisers 2 & 3 - Fried calamari @ RM17 and Fried wantan @ RM15. Very small portion for their prices and the taste is mediocre...I'd give these dishes a pass the next time I'm here...

Linguine vongole @ RM32. Star of the meal. With a slight hint of chardonnay and black pepper, this pasta dish is definitely worth a try...

Pollo (Chicken) pizza @ RM32. Can give this a miss...the chicken strips are a bit dry and the pizza base is not flavourful enough..might be due to lack of tomato sauce and mozarella cheese
Sweet ending - Tiramisu @ RM15. Slight disappointment...doesn't taste the same as the first time I had it at the Alexis outlet in Bangsar Shopping Centre

Overall Rating


Comments
Nothing special about the Ayam Penyet & Ayam Panggang.
Is just the same as what you had at MAMAK stall. The price of
the food is still reasonable (just slightly expensive than MAMAK).

However, this is about Indonesian food. Its a new experience if
you haven't try Indonesian food before.


Food Menu




Location

Malaccan Food

Think we were there around June 2008. It's a small cafe at Jonker Walk and called something like Museum Cafe, if I'm not mistaken. Ordered the Nyonya Chicken with rice, minced meat noodles and ice kacang. The rice and noodles were so-so, i thought. However, the ice kacang was heavenly!! the ice shaving was so fine that it melts immediately in your mouth and the gula melaka so rich and thick...yum yum
Worth mentioning is the cafe's ambience. It's set within a colonial shophouse with antiques (should be the cafe owner's collection) displayed. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Malacca
