If you are looking for a quiet place for lunch, Pancake House could be one in mind. Well, it was one of my favourite place to avoid the crowd especially in a busy mall. Yes, just walk-in and there is no line at any time. Not saying their food is bad but the variation they have is a bit limited here. Alas, they are selling pancakes and that is what I call their specialty. Not bad for a fast lunch too. They serve set lunches that are simple (not tough to decide) and the aim of lunch is for their pancakes! If you are a fan, of course.Spaghetti Club Set RM17.90 is a decent set lunch to go, comes with 3 mini pancakes and a glass of peach tea. The sandwich is fresh and chilled, just the way I liked them. The pasta is okay too, the classic spaghetti bolognese is good any time. But that only comes with beef, and no chicken variation if you are not a beef taker.Mushroom Cappuccino Soup RM5.90 is really not my cup of soup. Don’t get me wrong, I like cappuccino. But when these two cross-overed, I rather they don’t! The soup is very watery and there is a strong taste of wild mushroom that doesn’t goes so well with my senses. There isn’t any coffee existance in the soup, only the bubbly cream resembles the cappuccino.Luscious Lemon Pancake Peak RM11.90 is to die for! These stack of mini pancakes filled with cream cheese in-between, topped with lemon zest. I was afraid that the lemon syrup would taste like dish washer at first, but it was just a mild lemon taste – refreshing and yet not too strong. The pancakes were soft and fluffy, I thought I can swallow half the dozen without doubt but by the last two pieces I was filled up. Anyway, it was good and I’m in heaven. Definately will come back for more especially for the Choco Lava pancake tower after looking at the poster...yummy

I call it the ‘Mother of all Waffles’. The A&W waffle existed when there are no other waffle kiosk available back in the 90’s. All we can get is the classic waffle served only with strawberry sauce and topped with a vanilla ice cream. We are indeed satisfied with just that, compared to the offerings today – peanut butter, chocolate sauce, kaya and planta are all too fancy for some people. But this simpicity in life make one craving for the classic. Yup, I still love the classic (again) – the A&W root beer float and their bear mascot Childhood memoriesWaffle RM6.50 Delicious root bear float and curly fries

It is another month to go before CNY and yu sheng has surfaced again from the menus of any Japanese restaurants in Klang Valley. One of my favourite treat - fresh salmon! Norwagein or Japanese salmon is not my concern while every restaurants selling Yu Sheng has claimed their salmon is from Norwagein after the contamination of Japanese salmon last year. The truth is, we just can’t live without our salmon cut for the yu sheng. From Japan or not.Sushi Tei’s Signature Yu Seng (S) RM16.80 is straighly for 2 pax (it was 1-3pax in their menu but it is never enough). Salmon is generously sliced and the yu sheng ingredients looks good and fresh. Served cold – another plus point. We’re given a pack of ‘pok pok chui’ or crispy crackers and it really filled up the plate. I guess Sushi Tei should consider the balance of the portion as well. It was all crackers and I can’t hardly taste any chuka wakame. The sauce is very regular, sourish and too sweet to me.Yakitori Don RM12.80 to filled ourselves up. Served in a standard sized bento box, presentable, and the portion is huge too – share friendly. The only set backs was the teriyaki chicken seems to be a bit tough and dry (tasted like char siu).

Conclusion: salmon is still Sushi Tei’s strength, so their yu sheng is a must try. Green tea is RM2 per cup, refillable, and water is RM0.80. Bill came with additional gov and service taxes.

Belgian fries lover or not, one of the best place for a plate of pasta would be this humble corner in Asian Avenue Sunway Pyramid where Pommes Frites is located. Love at first taste it is, the eatery is also a great place to take food pictures with good natural lighting. Cozy and hidden away from the hust and buzz of the mall, Pommes Frites also offers a cozy corner with magazines and a good place for a chat while slurping on your favourite plate of pasta.Fettuccine Salmon & Parmesan RM14.90 – One of the must try! Portion is good, with a generous slice of salmon. Sauce is excellent here – thick and smooth. Well priced as well, it tasted as good as the more famous pasta places out there (and even better).Spaghetti Seafood Carbonara RM13.90 – Dived in the smooth and thick sauce just like the fettuccine, the clamps tasted superb with garlic butter and olive oil. Penne Cordon Bleu RM12.90 – Crispy from the outside, and juicy inside! Ham stuffed fried chicken with cheese, topped on penne with tomato puree. Another great plate that worth every penny.

Food was served hot and efficiently. The bill came with additional 5% tax.

Being able to work in a shopping mall area is a bliss especially when we do lunches. Headache would be deciding which restaurants to grab our daily lunches without burning a hole in our pocket(s). It is indeed a tough decisions not to be tempted by the variety of offerings within Mid Valley. Nyonya Colors fits in when it comes to lunches. Not comparing the food with those we get in the local ‘pasar’, Nyonya Colors do offers those we crave (especially the ‘kuih-muih’) with a slightly higher price.Well, it is pricier than in the market, but a whole lot affordable when compared to the rest of the eateries in the area.A bowl of Dry Curry Mee RM8.90 is to die for! The curry is good and thick with santan (if you like those), and a good portion of chicken as well. Another bliss for an ordinary paid employee like me Mee Siam Packet at RM2.80 may sound a bit ridiculous but when it comes to the taste of it, this is one of my favourite stuff in NC. Yup, this is good when I’m not that hungry or in a diet, even a good choice if I want to grab a fast lunch in the office. Another reason for a NC lunch was for their Chee Cheong Fun RM4.80. With a choice of traditional sauce or curry sauce, the ‘cheong fun’ is smooth and soft – honestly not too filling. Maybe it is good when we couldn’t had enough.

Just make sure you had a table before you went for the ordering queue. You’ll need your table number with you. Staffs are very efficient, so make sure you don’t stand in the queue to long deciding which kuih to pick-up. All food comes with additional 6% tax.
