As we spend the night in the area for countdown, we decide to have dinner in this chinese restaurant. It looks quite grand from outside. The first level is for walk-in customers, while the upper level is for private kitchen. The restaurant looks quite grand with personal lifts within the restaurant.

The 7 of us start the meal with Chrysanthuem Pu Er 菊普 ($3++/pax) tea for all. I order a number of dishes to accompany the plain rice 丝苗白饭 ($2++/ bowl).

 
Barbeque Triple Combo 烧味三宝拼 (RM30.80++/Small)
Roasted Crispy Pork (Siu Yok), Barbeque Pork (Char Siu) and Roasted Duck.
The meat is served with plum sauce, mustard sauce and chilli sauce. The meats are well charred and tastes juicy and yummy.

 
Jelly Fish Thai Style 泰式海蜇 (RM11.80++)
It tastes crunchy but a bit bland in taste.

 
Spicy Pickled Black & White Fungus 凉拌双耳 (RM6.80++)
It does not taste spicy but rather strong in a vinegar taste.

 
Double Steamed "Tian Ma" Fish Head Soup 天麻鱼头汤 (RM14.80++/ bowl)
This soup is full of flavours. The fish is so tender that one can feel the bones melt in the mouth.

Double Boiled Soup of the Day 时日炖汤 (RM14.80++/bowl)
The soup of the day is Lotus root with pork rib soup. It tastes full bodied and flavourful.

 
Pan-fried Sliced Fish with Ginger & Spring Onion 姜葱鱼片 (RM30.80++/small)
The sliced fish looks more like deep fried than pan-fried.

 
Hakka Steamed Chicken 客家蒸鹽鸡 (RM30.80++/ half serving)
I am surprised at its huge serving. The chicken is quite tender and flavourful.

 
Stir-fried Mixed Vegetables with Macadamia Nuts 雯果彩碟 (RM18.80++/small)
This is the only dish in the restaurant which can be considered vegetarian according to the staff. It gives a nutty and crunchy texture.

 
Stir-fried Vegetables with Salted Eggs & Century Eggs 金银蛋浸时菜 (RM16.80++/small)
I am a bit disappointed with this dish as I could find the salted egg yolk in it. The taste is also a bit too bland.

We end the meal with desserts such as Chilled Mango Sago with Pomelo 杨䃽甘露 (RM8.80++/glass), Glutinous Dumplings with Red Bean Paste 红豆沙汤丸 (RM7.80++/bowl), Teochew Sweet Yam Paste 潮州芋泥羮 (RM6.80++/bowl) and Almond Tea 手磨杏仁蛋白茶 (RM8.80++/bowl). But the desserts fail badly. The Chilled Mango Sago with Pomelo 杨䃽甘露 is served in glass, looking rather white, instead of the usual bright yellow in color. Although there is mango taste, but it is rather faint and I could not taste any pomelo in it.

 
The Glutinous Dumplings with Red Bean Paste 红豆沙汤丸 fairs slighlty better. The dumplings seems to be the supermarket pack type, based on the texture and the red paste is not quite smooth.

 
The Teochew Sweet Yam Paste 潮州芋泥羮 is worst that I have ever had before. It is too watery to be considered paste. It looks more like drinkable type than the oily smooth paste that one usually found in restaurants. It kinds of reminds one of the instant powder type with its taste. The Almond Tea 手磨杏仁蛋白茶 also tastes similar to the instant powder type, but it is not as watery as the yam paste. It is more the type that one usually found in Hong Kong style cha chaan teng cafes.

Overall there is hits and misses in this restaurant. Best just have the main dishes and go other place for desserts. The desserts are simply a waste of money and stomach space. The service here is not bad, with tea refilled regularly. There is also free wifi been offered here. The place is quite crowded during peak dinner time, so best visit it early.

Lunch under a tree Smile Jan 27, 2015

Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Seafood

 

 
As my brother-in-law knows that my father likes fish head, he decides to bring the family to dine here for lunch. The restaurant is located under trees, with no frills decoration around. Just very used tables and stools around. Interesting it is surrounding by rows of terrace houses. It is not located by the main street, yet there is a lot of people dining in there.

 
Although we reach the restaurant around 1pm, a number of dishes such as the Steam Herbal Coconut Chicken Soup have already sold out. The place has no air-con. To refill tea, one has help yourself to the hot water cooler, which is located in the middle of the place.

 

 
Menu is a simple 2-sided paper.

 
Cheong Cheng Steam Fish Head
The sauce tastes a bit spicy and reminds me of bean paste. The fish is quite meaty and juicy. Never expect such a big fish head for small serving.

 
Soya Sauce Steam Fish Head
Similar to the above dish, the fish is meaty and juicy. The sauce here is much lighter.

 
Crispy Chicken Wing
Very crispy and juicy inside.

 
Salted Fish with Pork Belly in Claypot
The meat is flavourful but fatty.

 
Sweet Potato Leaf
I feel that it is a bit too oily.

Overall the food is huge in serving and tastes great. But waiting could be long. The service is also a bit sucks here. One of the dishes which we have ordered but is never served, even after we have finished the fruit. But the staff has billed us for the dish when we ask for the bill. It is quite difficult to get the staff to correct the bill and lot of time being wasted. It leaves quite a bad taste in the mouth.

Seafood Lunch Smile Jan 27, 2015

This seafood restaurant is quite popular with the family. I have been here before at night where there is valet parking service. But in the day, there is no such service. Even the main dining hall is not lighted up when we reach the restaurant. In fact besides our group, there is only another group of customers in the restaurant.

We have 

 
Stir-Fried Spinach,

 
Crispy Calamari in Honey Sauce,

 
Baked Oysters in Cheese,
Chilli Crabs (2 pieces of crabs),

 
Curry Crabs (2 pieces of crabs),

 
Sweet & Sour Pork,

 
Tofu with Minced Meat Sauce,
and

 
Braised Tofu.

Overall the servings are huge and delicious except for the sweet & sour pork. The sweet & sour pork tastes a bit tough to bite. The prices are not cheap, the meal costs over RM500. But the service is great. Tea is refilled regularly.

 
The staff brings us boards, mallets and claw crackers to crack the huge sized crabs. But in the end the staff decides to do it himself at the next table.

Brunch OK Jan 26, 2015

This year the family decides the year with new year shopping at the Isetan in KLCC as it has special promotion going on. As we are early, we decide to stop for breakfast at the cafe before shopping. The cafe is a self-service style with dining in area. The cafe offers a number of breakfast set meals.

 
I decide on the breakfast set C which costs RM10.80nett. It consists of a chicken pie which comes with a choice of coffee, tea or a small cup of cappuccino.

 
The chicken pie is served warm with some greens in lemony dressing on the side. The crust is flaky with peppery and chucky filling.

 
The cappuccino looks nice but tastes abit bland.

Overall the food is not bad and quite filling. The place is not crowded and is quite relaxing.

Breakfast OK Jul 04, 2014

The family often comes here for meal as Nana is just staying across the street. Further this outlet is not crowded. There is both aircon and non aircon dine in area, but personally I prefer the non aircon area as I cannot feel any aircon while dining in. Another great new is that there is free wifi here.

 
Breakfast Set B22 (RM8.90) - Mini Prawn Bee Hoon Mee + Kaya Butter Toast (s) + Drink
The prawn bee hoon is quite flavourful and has delicious soup.

 
Hot Chocolate
The drink is not bad been smooth and thick but feel more like Milo than chocolate.

 
Kaya & Butter Toast (s)
Crispy and buttery.

 
Breakfast Set B20 (RM8.90) - Mini Curry Mee + Kaya Butter Toast (s) + Drink
The curry noodle is not bad but I just don't quite like its toppings on top. Looks a bit out of place. I am expecting plain curry chicken.

 
Iced Coffee

Overall food is not bad. Service is a bit slow even when there is not much customers around.
