Ice cream time Smile Mar 30, 2016   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malaysian variety | Café | Ice Cream / Froyo / Gelato | Desserts

 
The stall sold products of coconut, ranging from fresh coconut to coconut juice to coconut shake to coconut ice cream.The one which attracted us was the coconut ice cream which came in 2 sizes. We ordered a small size version which costs RM6. It was served in a coconut husk with 4 scoops of coconut ice cream, topped with chopped peanuts and oreo. The ice cream was rich and creamy in taste. It was well value and just the right thing to have during a hot day afternoon.

Categories : Thai | Stall / Warung

 
The stall sold various thai food such as mango salad, mango with sticky, and various kuehs. The one that caught our eyes turned out to be the simple looking steamed tapioca. It was served with sweeten coconut sauce and just cost RM3 which was quite reasonable priced. The tapioca was soft and not too sweet with the milky sauce.

Dinner Smile Mar 28, 2016

Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Steaks / Chops | Seafood

 

 
The restaurant was located in the shopping mall, just across from the checkpoint. The service was great. The staff made sure the table and asked one of us to check the table first before letting the rest of the group in.

 
Please take note that iced water was chargeable at RM0.90++ per glass. The staffs were friendly and easy to our various requests. We were served with smoky hot wet tissues after our meal.

 
CHICKEN CAESAR FLATBREAD (RM27.45)
Grilled chopped chicken breast, Italian cheeses, tomato pesto salad, fresh sweet basil and creamy Caesar dressing tossed on a crisp flatbread crust and sprinkled with shaved Asiago cheese.
The flatbread was served on a chopping board, very thin and crispy, overflowing with juicy tomato and chicken cubes.

 
ROMA'S SAMPLER (RM42.29)
A trio of appetizers – Red Hot Buffalo Wings, Potato Skins and its signature Half Onion Loaf matched with bleu cheese dressing, sour cream and TR's Original™ BBQ sauce.
The bufflao wings were lightly breaded and tossed in Buffalo sauce, served with creamy bleu cheese dressing. The wing was sour and spicy, which balanced with the rich cheesy sauce.
The onion loaf was giant hand-cut Spanish onions, breaded, deep fried and served with TR's Original™ BBQ sauce. It was crispy and caramelised inside.
Crispy potato skins covered with cheese, topped with chives and beef bacon pieces, served with sour cream. I wished there was more cheese on the potato skins.

 
BEEF RIB SAMPLER (RM74.09)
Slow-cooked meaty, tender and delicious ribs. Hearty ribs with a rich beef flavor. Glazed with TR's Original™ BBQ sauce
The dish was served with 2 sides which we selected coleslaw (I wished it was more sweet although it was crunchy), and loaded mashed potatoes (I felt it was not as cheesy as the version in Singapore). The ribs served were beef instead of the usual pork. The ribs was quite tender and easy to remove from the bones, but I still preferred the pork ribs better.

 
POTATO SKINS (RM16.85)
Crispy potato skins covered with cheese, topped with chives and beef bacon pieces. Served with sour cream.

 
BOUNTIFUL BEEF RIBS (RM63.49)
Hearty ribs with a rich beef flavor. Glazed with TR's Original™ BBQ sauce or your choice of sauce.
Served with 2 sides which CORN ON THE COB was selected.

 
Raspberry Brownie Royale (RM10.49)
Two warm, rich mini cocoa brownies, covered with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with raspberry sauce.

Cakes & chocolate Smile Mar 17, 2016   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Bakery / Cake / Kuih

Lavender is a well known bakery chain in Malaysia, with 14 branches in Johor and Kuala Lumpur. One of its nearest branches to Singapore is the one located at City Square. City Square is a popular shopping mall with Singaporean as it is located just across the causeway.

 

 
Angel Cake (RM 10.60)
A soft airy chiffon cake, covered lightly with sweet cream and pastry flakes.

 
Chocolate Ganache (RM 21)
made from 100% Belgium chocolate and fresh cream. Contains no added artifical flavourings and preservatives. Melts smoothly with a rich fruity chocolatey impact.
The chocolate looked quite similar to the well known ROYCE' nama chocolate. Although it was not as good as that, but the price was much much cheaper.

 
Honey Egg Roll (RM 12.70)
It looked like swiss roll, filled with creamy and nutty filling.

 
Nama Chocolate (RM 16.90/ 4")
Ultimate Chocolate cake - rich and decadent, made from the finest chocolate, cream and a tad of flour.
It looked quite small, and tasted similar to the Japanese style light and airy cheesecake.

Service was a bit poor because we waited quite awhile to be served even when it was not crowded.

Lunch Smile Jan 07, 2016

Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Noodles | Dim sum | Desserts

 
The restaurant was part of a popular chain with various outlets in Malaysia. It was well known for its chinese dishes. It was located at one end of the ground floor of the shopping mall. Although the restaurant did not offer free wifi, one was enable to tap on the free wifi by the shopping mall. The restaurant was packed during Saturday lunch time but did not offer dim sum menu.
We started the meal with Jasmine Pearl Tea & chrysanthemum tea (RM12/ pot serving 2-3 pax) a pot each as we had 6 people. The young staff who served the tea was quite blur and did not know which tea was which. We had to figure out ourselves then.

The serving was just nice for a piece for each one. Felt it was a quite expensive for such a small serving. The boneless pork ribs was quite tender and flavourful.

Served with pancake, spring onions, cucumber and sweet sauce.
The skin of the duck was thick and crispy which kind of reminds of roasted pork. Interesting.

Barley Beancurd Skin with Gingko and Quails' Egg Soup 清润海底椰炖马蹄露 (RM 8)
Felt that it was a bowl of soya bean milk topped with barley, beancurd, ginko and boiled egg. Not the usual method of cooking the beancurd skin till it melted.

The pear was quite soft but the white fungus still had not reached the melt in the mouth texture.
Overall the food was not bad, although the staffs were not quite good with explanation especially on the part where why the tea had 2 pax on the bill.
