The Restaurant:
Compromising both a diner and a clothing store. This is the place you will want to go for a lookout for some interesting brands. The restaurant motto is "Come for the clothes, stay for the food!".

Environment/interior-decor:

Walking into Switchblade on a Friday night put ones into assumptions that the place will be filled with a merriment crowd. Stated on their website and here and there, it is supposing a place where groups who are into American memorabilia hang out. However, when I was there the place was dead quiet with just 3 tables of patrons. The décor was pretty interesting, one part of the shop was a mini boutique, and the other parts have bits of pieces of American memorabilia. The place is definitely somewhat cosy, but as compared to other places decorated in rockability inspiration with American memorabilia items, this place is still lacking to make a huge impression. I was told by my friend that the decor and positions changes once a while (perhaps Saturday/Sunday is a better day).

Food: Heat Burger (left:Rm 24.90) & Smoke-Out Chicken burger (right: Rm 21.90) & ice-lemon tea

The heat burger was described as 100% homemade beef patty with glazed onions and black pepper gravy. The smoke-out chicken burger was described as homemade chicken patty with onions, red peppers and green capsicum. The sound of homemade is definitely tempting, but one and few bites into the burgers were a disappointment. As you can see the overall combination was a spell for the worst, the dried chicken and hardly any flavour although slightly contributed by chilli sauce was just hard to eat. The heat burger on the other hand, fares better although not as good as well. Compared to the chicken burger, it is definitely more juicy but not as juicy as well. The heat burger is definitely not dry since loaded with black pepper sauce, but the black pepper sauce it’s a killer. Overpowering the burger, the distinctive tongue can only taste black pepper, and it’s not a good black pepper sauce. In my opinion, the black pepper used is off low quality or either from ready-make powder sauce. Ice-lemon tea is not bad and I think they mix ready-make powder with real lemon juice.

Service: Quite slow, which is ironic since there are hardly any patrons. Most of the time, the staff are busy chatting with each other or watching tv. No rude waiters here.

Price: The price for one burger is about Rm 22.0-25.0, which in my opinion is pricey for the size and quality of the burgers given compared to other burger joins like Burgerlab etc. Luckily I bought this for Rm 12.60 (with drinks) with the use of vouchers.

Verdict: I can’t give my opinion as an overall for switchblade since I only tried their burgers, but I can say that fast food and other burger joints taste much better. However it is a good place to meet up with those who share the same passion.

I bought mini cupcakes for family gathering, garden design from Tearoom. The cupcakes which are butter flavour texture wise are really dry and grainy. It felt like it was make a few days before and hence turn hard and dry (This I am afraid all of us agreed).
Otherwise, the design looks cute and nice. Maybe the other deserts fare better. Be aware though that the operating hours are quite short.

Imagine my surprised when my friend and I arrived at this quiet, hidden Japanese restaurant on a Sunday at lunch time. WHY!The whole place was empty, as if I booked the whole place.

The restaurant is located at Central Plaza, KL, just right behind Pavillion and next to Menara Standard Chartered. As far as I know parking charges is RM 6 per entry (weekends).

After further investigation, the restaurant just open about 3 months back and is mostly pack on weekdays (lunch and dinner). I reckon its mostly visited by office crowds, and since its so new, this hidden gem is not yet known to the general public.

First off, the place ambiance was simple and normal, but there is a quiet corner with sofa chair and open glass view. In addition, I realized there are a few rooms, probably the sitting tatami kind of rooms. (Was so hungry until forget take picture >.<).

I bought 3 Living social vouchers for the "salmon platter" deal, in which each voucher comes with a free flow of green tea, miso soup and a salmon platter. The original price was Rm 35 (a voucher), but with the deal is only Rm 10!~ The SALMON Platter.

1)First off, the deal didn't state what the salmon platter compose off besides they only use fresh salmon. But I have to say the sashimi was thick, fresh and delicious. You can see some fat marbling which further add on to the yummy experience!; unlike many other place where the salmon seems wash-off (After defrost taste; minimal salmon flavour) and not fresh.

2)Next to the sashimi, is a salmon sushi top with some cod roe?mentaiko? sauce. This I have to say was the most delicious out of the whole platter. A balanced of creaminess and slight smokey flavour, it was such a delight, and I chowed this down fast!

3)This was followed by a salmon maki and I believe roll with dried seaweed. Now the taste of this is grassy herby (dried seawood) and some might find it tad dry since some actually stuck on the throat. The taste of this I'm afraid might not be likable by some, and I for once finds it just so-so but still above average compared to many other franchised Japanese food chains.

4)Miso Soup and Green tea. The green tea is standard and so is the miso soup.

5) I have to add in that the salmon platter was an exact replica as the deal page picture. Super shock and Super satisfied!

We didn't order anything else from the menu, but a quick glance of it shows an array of usual, authentic Japanese cuisine with some unique hardly seen and fusion dishes as well. The price can be excepted as somewhat affordable and in within range with other usual franchised Japanese food chains (Sushi Tei; Pasta zanmai). Example below of one page of the menu for your own reference.

I bet the food comes out an exact replica!

We do regret not trying out the other food in the menu, but this has become an instant favorite place to us. Despite just sampling a few, but the huge array of dishes, affordable price, fresh and super yummy unlike many Japanese restaurant chain has make us vow to come back here soon!

The picture said enough and you JUST have to try it!
