I can still recall my very first time stepping into The Apartment Restaurant & Bar and it was at the Suria KLCC for a simple dinner with my dear friends. The warm light that brightens up the whole place gave me a very warm and homey feeling and it was well completed with indeed savoring good food that suits my taste bud. Then not long after that, I realized that they also had one in The Curve which to be joyfully nearer to where I am currently staying.

 
Tossed Pasta Plain

This pasta dish may look simple but it was actually very flavourful. The Tossed Pasta Plain mixed with a good quantity of chili flakes that will spice up your taste bud until your tongue feel numb but still enjoyable.

 
Prawn Capellini

This particular dish is one of my favorite that evening, the Prawn Capellini is served with tiger prawns, lemon zest, olive oil and marjoram. I love the tiger prawns cause it's huge and satisfying!

 
Baked Squid Stuffed with Herbs Rice, Served with Okra & Seafood Gumbo (RM25.90)

Stuffed Squid is heading towards more of our local taste, a bit spicy on the end yet juicy squid being stuff with risotto to make it solid and goes along with the gravy.

 
Pan Fried Red Snapper w/ Couscous & Lemon Butter (RM39.90)

Pan fried red snapper with couscous and lemon butter reduction is one of the dish that suits most of our local people here as one of the reason I am saying this is most of our locals love to have their meals with rice.

 
Almond Crusted Cod

The cod was very soft and fresh, with a gentle cut in between it just open instantly. Almond was fried crispy and brings the aroma out of it, cook along with some clams make it sweet and a bit sourish taste of tomato that makes the taste perfectly good!

 
Surf ‘n’ Turf

Next is the steak which is prepare medium well that comes to my liking and for the first time I see a steak pair with prawns mixture with au jus, garlic, chillies, honey glazed tiger prawns & mash. Surf ‘n’ Turf is one of the latest addition to the menu.

Overall, food was pretty good but I don't think average people who earns average salary could afford this every week. Maybe once a while perhaps? I love the ambience of this place la... a good place to chill out with besties smile

Early in the morning, M girlfriend and I were somehow craving for dim sum for breakfast but after we both have moved to Kota Damansara, we have no idea where to find any dim sum place around.

 
So we decided to have our dim sum breakfast at Restoran Jin Xuan Hong Kong (Kota Damansara branch).

 
This is what we have ordered. It's a lot just for breakfast actually.

 
Steamed Spareribs RM4.50. Gf's favorite but it was just okay.

 
Har Gaw (Prawn Dumpling) RM4.50/3pcs. The prawn is quite fresh but the skin is a little too thick though.

 
Tasty Lo Mai Kai RM4.50/ My favorite, wasn't the best but edible.

 
BBQ Pork Bun RM4.00/2pcs. I don't normally go for BBQ pork bun but this was pretty good and delicious.

 
Siu Mai RM4.50/3pcs. Typical siu mai, the size wasn't too small but I think I had bigger ones in Jalan Ipoh.

 
Shrimp Rice Roll RM4.80/plate. Not that good but at least can satisfy my cravings.

Overall, it was a good breakfast. Although it might be slightly pricier than those normal coffee shops but it's more comfortable to eat in Jin Xuan since it's more chilling with air condition and it looks cleaner too.

Had KFC Egg Tart in Klang Smile Nov 04, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Burgers / Sandwiches | Halal

It was a pretty random choice to go for a quick bite at KFC restaurant before the wedding reception which I am covering in Klang last Saturday. I still remember the good old days when KFC's slogan was "Finger lickin' good" and "KFC - That's Where I Want To Be" but now, "So Good" doesn't really sound catchy.

 
We ordered 4 pieces of egg tarts, 2 pieces for each of us.

 
The packaging of the KFC Egg Tart looks pretty simple and I like the visual idea of showing the 6 pieces of egg tarts on the top of the box.

 
Om-nom-nom! I forgot to snap a picture of the bitten KFC Egg Tart with my DSLR and so I'd quickly snap it with my phone instead. It's very soft on the inside, the sweetness of it really suits my tastebud and the skin was pretty flaky. Not too oily for me too. I personally prefer this egg tarts over the one in John King's. How much does it cost? Take a look at the price below:-

 
rices subject to 6% Government tax where applicable. Servings featured are for illustration purposes only. Prices applicable in Klang Valley outlets only. Should any discrepancy occur in published price, the pricing at restaurant point of purchase is deemed final.

I've never visited Setia City Mall before although it has been officially opened for a few months back and there was also I had missed the Michael Learns To Rock (MLRT) concert which was held at the venue. This time round, I was pretty excited visit the shopping mall for the first time thanks to the invited food review at Sushi Tei in Setia City Mall. My very first food encounter of Sushi Tei was at their Tropicana City Mall branch.

 
Collagen Salmon Roll (RM23.80)
Some of you might asked why is this dish called the Collagen Salmon Roll? Well the answer is, there were really pieces of collagen on top of the salmon roll. As far as I know, Collagen is a protein and the benefits of collagen are many and varied and are good for everyone, regardless of age. So you can enjoy the good food which is good for our health at the same time. Isn't that great?

 
Cooked Salmon with Soba
I'm sure most of you are familiar with soba which is the Japanese thin noodle made from buckwheat flour and often serve in either cold or hot. I'm not really a big fan of soba but this one was an exception. The cooked salmons on top of the soba was really good too!

 
Hotate Teriyaki (RM 9.80)
I really enjoy eating the Hotate Teriyaki, which were the grilled clams with teriyaki sauce on it.

 
Grilled Yellow Tailed Cheek
If you love yellow tailed fish then this could be one of your favorite dish.

 
Chawanmushi
The omnipresent chawanmushi, a familiar Japanese favourite at all Japanese restaurants. This dish was smooth, not too hot, and very easy to swallow.

Overall, the food was good although slightly pricy but you paid for the food quality and ambiance as well.

UFO Desserts & Drinks has opened a branch at Bandar Manjalara and the owner invited us, the bloggers to head over there for a review in the evening. I've been to their very first branch in SS2 a few times and now the place is quite packed from time to time especially during weekends. So lets take a look at what they offering in this branch.

Entering UFO, the interior was just like the one in SS2 branch - clean and comfortable for a dessert and drinks cafe for the customers. They have quite a simple looking visual on the side of the wall for the UFO sets and their hot delights as well. Besides desserts, they also offer drinks and snacks as well. Below are some of the item that we have tried during the food tasting session.

 
Honey Peach Yoghurt Smoothie with Rainbow Jelly topping (RM 5.50) on the right and Winter Melon Tea with Grass Jelly (RM 4) on the left. It is recommended to have less sugar for either one of the drinks unless you prefer to have really sweet taste in your drinks. I enjoy drinking the winter melon tea for it's really cooling especially on a hot Malaysia weather.

 
On the left is the Pearl Milk Tea (RM 4.50) and on the right is the Aiyu Lemon Green Tea (RM 4.50). I really like the taste of the Aiyu Lemon Green Tea because it's really refreshing with the lemon taste and I'm quite sure a lot of ladies will like this drink as well.

 
If you prefer having shaved ice dessert, the QQ ball series is most recommended for you with any toppings that you like. 1 topping for RM4.50 while 3 toppings for RM6.00.

 
It was my very first time trying their UFO Lemon Aiyu with Aiyu Jelly and Yoghurt Popping Balls (RM 4.50). The aiyu jelly and yogurt popping balls are the selling point for this dessert!

Overall, UFO is my second choice after Snowflake if I want to get my Taiwanese desserts fixed! lol
