Father’s day dining Smile Jun 17, 2019   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malaysian variety | Restaurant | Steaks / Chops | Noodles | Nasi Lemak

 
We visited on Father’s Day and it was packed. Filled with People Of different races here to enjoy madam Kwan’s passionately made food. Ever since madam kwan’s closed down in Singapore’s vivo it. KL is the only place I can get my Nasi Bojari fix! It comes with a huge piece of chicken that is crispy on the outside and juicy and succulent on the inside, along with beef rendang, sweet prawns and bojari rice

 

The char kway teow also has a nice wok hei and loads of prawns and sotong! I’m always satisfied with any meal at madam Kwan!

Fresh Fish and more Smile Jun 06, 2016   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Seafood | Ramen/Udon/Soba

Located along a row of shop houses facing the main road. I was surprised to find a quality sushi and japanese restaurant. My friends who lived around the area raved that it was the  best fresh japanese sushi place and recommended that it was "cheap" for the quality we were getting.

 
I couldn't wait to look through the menu. There were 3 different menus, one for sashimi, one for sushi and one for cooked food. Very soon our table was covered with menus as we had a big group of about 2 families and friends. We were offered a private room with japanese style seating arrangement. It was cosy but a bit narrow. I'm quite clumsy so it was a chore to get up and go elsewhere. There wasn't any buttons to call for service. So I had to slide the door open and yell for service.

1. Sashimi Mori 148RM++ for 3 pax

 
The combination of the Sashimi Mori was the best! All the fish was fresh and practically melted in my mouth. You wouldn't have to chew any of the sushi. It was so flavourful by it's own. At this point, I did agree with my friend that the quality of the fish here was indeed fresh and value at this price point.

2. Salmon Belly Sashimi 55.80RM++ for 2 servings

 
The colour of the ikura and salmon belly says it all, "extremely fresh". The ikura was bursting with juicy goodness. The salmon belly here was so smooth, it melted in my mouth almost immediately once I ate it. for 55.80RM++, this is totally worth it.
3. Shisamo 15.80RM++

 
The staff offered us 2 types of shisamo, one was fried and one was grilled. Both tasted the same to me but neither of them was crispy, slightly disappointing.

4. Hotate Nigiri 75.60RM++ for 4 servings

 
The scallops were fragrant and again, melted in my mouth. It was so fleshy and definitely couldn't get enough of this.

5. Tempura Mori 37.80RM++ for 2 servings

 
The tempura serving portion was pretty small and pretty much all the tempura pieces disappeared with a blink of an eye. The batter was light, airy and crispy.

6. Chawanmushi Ikura 13.90RM++

 
Definitely getting this again, on my next visit. The ikura was extremely fresh and the chawanmushi was soft, silky and almost pudding-like. The flavour of the chawanmushi was extremely good. It wasn't too salty, but yet you could taste the essence of the chicken, prawn and mushroom into the chawanmushi. They definitely got the steaming timing down to perfection.Overall : A great place to have sushi in a comfortable dining area. Just note, when the staff try to push you to buy something that is "rare", don't go for it. They got us to buy some extremely expensive shellfished sashimi that we had no idea what it was, except that the staff claimed it was the last one.. Don't waste your time. Just go for the Sashimi Mori and Salmon Belly

Great American comfort food! Smile Jun 03, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Burgers / Sandwiches

My group of friends and I chanced upon Johnny Rockets and I haven't had it since I left the US, so I decided to give it a try.

1. Chicken Melt Sandwich 15ringgit

 
Okay, I was a bit surprised to learn that it wasn't a sandwich flooded with cheese and pressed on a sandwich press. In fact, it took me awhile to find the small slice of swiss cheese in my sandwich. On the bright side, there was one large onion ring, a load of barbecue sauce sauce and a tender piece of chicken. The whole sandwich itself was too much for me to eat. So I ate half and my friend took care of the other half. These are the typical large portions you would find at any American dinner!

2. Oreo Milkshake 13.90ringgit

 
It was more of a ice cream waiting to be melted into a milkshake, the second metal cup was about 1/4 full with the remaining portion of the milkshake. It wasn't the best milkshake I had, but it was okay. I would still think steak and shake 2-3USD milkshakes would beat this hands down!

 
This was my friend's burger, who told me it was very very good!

 
The dining area, there was ample space for big groups of customers

 
Here is the menu.

The staff were very friendly and polite, happily greeting everyone that walked past the shop, customer or not.

Drink a Selfie Coffee!! Smile May 18, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Sweets/Snack

 
So everyone is familiar with using your front facing camera to take a selfie! But what about a selfie coffee? Originating from Penang, Selfie Coffee is the first coffee in Malaysia that allows you to snap photos of yourself and get it printed onto the foam of a drink!

 
This signboard outside the shop says it all! You might find it strange at first, but it's quite a lot of fun!

 
The interior of the shop is pretty simplistic, with fake grass plastered on the walls which has lots of power points. I guess the shop doesn't mind if you use their power points to charge an iphone. They also have free wifi! We had trouble connecting to it and it was rather slow. But it was a full house on a friday night at 11pm. Yes they open till midnight on friday!

 
Here is their cake display, what stood out to me was the mascarpone green tea cake. I only use mascarpone for Tiramisu cakes so I had to try that and of course the infamous rainbow cake. I cannot resist a rainbow cake when I see one!

1. Rainbow Cake 10.90RM+

 
The colours of this rainbow cake is so bright and pretty. The cake tasted moist and the butter cream was very lightly layered in between the sponges, so it did not taste sweet. However the top and side layers of the chocolate rice was abit hard and for kids, they will love it. But to me, it didn't add any benefits to the rainbow cake. Maybe they should've just stuck with the normal butter cream around the cake? Nonetheless, still a great tasting and good looking rainbow cake!

2. Green Tea Mascarpone cake 9.90RM+

 
I loved the red bean layers in this cake, you can also distinctively taste the green tea and also the mascarpone. I am in love with this cake and I'm definitely getting a slice of this everytime I go there!

 
I also liked that they decorated the plates with chocolate sauce smile At the same time, they also use it to write the table number so that the food gets delivered to the right tables.

3. Original Belgian Waffle 4.90RM+

 
It strangely tasted very salty and though I've tasted salty waffles, that's usually because the waffle is served with ice cream or something that helps offset the saltiness. However, since this was a plain waffle with chocolate sauce drizzle and some whipped cream topping, the waffle just tasted overly salty. The corners of the waffle were crispy but the rest of the waffle was so "cake-like", I wouldn't call it fluffy. I could almost close my eyes and think that I was eating a dense butter sponge cake. This is definitely my first time tasting such a waffle. Maybe they should consider having an ice cream topping for their waffles instead.

The waffle options they had were :
1. Original
2. Chocolate
3. Banana
4. Strawberry
5. Mango
6. Honeydew
7. Green tea 

4. Hot Salted Caramel 13.00RM+

 
Even though we ordered it hot, it came pretty cold. Like room temperature, it wasn't even a little bit warm. So we asked for another cup and the owner apologised and politely feedbacked to the kitchen staff. Our second cup was warmer, but still nowhere as warm as the word "warm" means to anyone. I would still deem it as cold. It tasted ok, I couldn't taste the salt. Reminds me of a Skinny Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks.

5. Selfie Coffee 13.00RM+

 
We waited about 20 minutes, during which we ate our cakes, waffle and salted caramel drink, before we were ushered into the photo booth. You can take a few photos and choose your favourite photo. Then after which, you wait another 5-10 minutes for your drink. I must say, the printer foam dpi is pretty damn good, cause it's pretty sharp!

 
So it looks good! Does it taste good? Yes! It tastes exactly how an iced matcha latte should taste like!! I enjoyed my drink, if only their hot drinks were somewhat close to being hot, I would definitely vote this as the best cafe in JB!50RM for 2 cakes, 2 drinks and a waffle, pretty pricey I think for a JB cafe, but reasonable for the the fact that it would cost twice as much in Singapore!

Service was very good throughout the whole time there, when we needed more white board markers because our marker ran out of ink, there were staff to help us grab more markers. The tables are glass and so they're pretty much a white board, which you can doodle on. A great idea, considering there would be a bottleneck of customers waiting to go into the photo booth.

The owner himself, a young chap was open to feedback and was very polite and friendly. I do hope they continue to expand their menu and possibly do a selfie rainbow cake! That would be awesome!

Supplementary Information:
Free wifi, free electricity for laptops/phone charges and there is a 6% GST charge on all items.

Located in the busy Sutera region, is Life Cafe. It's been here for awhile even though it's my first time visiting from across the causeway. My friend who is from Sarawak recommended me to try this, as it was authentic and I was told the noodles were air-flown in from Sarawak! Talk about being true to your roots!The menu was pretty straight forward. Open it up and it tells you the history of Sarawak and Life Cafe. On the first page of the food menu, you will see their vegetarian menu. I zoomed in onto the mushrooms noodles, being a mushroom lover.

 
The interior is rather dim with wooden fixtures and bamboo decorations on the wall. It gives you a very rustic feel as you walk into the air-conditioned cafe. Despite it's traditional feeling, they serve up modern dishes with a Taiwanese twist. There was even bubble tea and the Taiwanese favourite papaya milk drinks.

 
The papaya milk drink had an option for sugar level, 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. I decided to go with the healthier option at 25%. It was just right. It tasted rather natural for me as I hate drinks doused with syrup that takes away the flavours of the fruit. My friend had the iced milo and I don't know how they do it, or if they blended it, but the milo mixture was very well distributed and it was smooth, almost like a milo ice cream that had melted!

 
I had the mushroom noodles that was tossed in a signature sauce and served with juicy and sizeable mushroom slices. Served together was a seaweed soup and fermented vegetables to give you a sour combination of the dish.  I loved the stewed chinese black mushrooms together with the thin, springy QQ noodles that carried off a distinct fragrance.

 
I would've loved to have an egg in the dish too, to add on a different consistency to the noodles. But the curry sauce for the mock chicken chop also helped! The curry itself was more towards the Japanese curry sauce. It wasn't spicy, it was subtly sweet as well. Reminded me of the McDonalds curry sauce.

 
The omelette was thin and was more doughy than eggy for some reason. I wished that it could've been most crisp. But it had a soggy texture even though I started on it, right after it was served to us. The mock chicken chop had a pleasant umami flavour with the fragrance and crunch from the edges of the "chicken". Even for pieces that were drowned in the curry sauce, they still maintained a crispy texture throughout. The seaweed soup which was slightly bland was cooked with seaweed. I liked that the saltiness of the soup was light, as it helped offset the fermented vegetables
.
Overall : A nice chill out location at night, great food and reasonable prices. There's free WIFI too. Service was prompt and attentive.
