Fahrenheit 600 is relatively new to Solaris Dutamas, just below the very well-known Red Beanbag. It specialises in pizzas. Rightly so, because the name itself (600F) refers to the perfect temperature to cook the pizzas. Having heard raving reviews about this place, we decided to try it out.

When we arrived at the restaurant, it looked pretty empty (3 tables on Sunday night), and the staff was nowhere to be seen. Only when we walked further in (nearly to the end) then someone showed up and ushered us to a table. I guess that was not a good sign.

We pored over our menu and decided on a fully vegetarian meal. The first to arrive was our Mushroom and Eggplant Lasagna.Lovely presentation, though I have the exact chopping board at home. Haha. The lasagna itself was sinfully cheesy (mostly mozzerella), and emitted a lovely aroma when it hit the table. Inside, the layers weren't so distinctive, probably because it was a little bit on the mushy side. Taste wise it was decent. With the sweet tangy tomato sauce and rich cheesy note. The vegetables were definitely cooked to a mush though. Luckily, the side salad provides the extra crunch for textural contrast.

There was a huge gap between the serving time of the lasagna and the calzone. I understand that calzone probably takes longer time to cook, which they could have warned us beforehand. (But I thought the heat should be able to bake it instantly, unless they are using a different oven for it) We were twiddling our thumbs for good 15 minutes after the lasagna and after checking with one of the staff (who was more interested in playing his phone) and the manager, it finally arrived on our table. This calzone is called "I'm a vegetarian today" (although funnily enough when our waitress who obviously doesn't speak much English repeated it back to us as "I am a vegetable".... had a good chuckle over that), and it sure looked pretty good. Cross-section: filled with mushrooms, eggplants, olives, green capsicum, tomato and of course cheese. This actually tasted pretty good with very solid dough. Although at some part the dough was slightly too thick for our liking. Nevertheless this was one of the better calzones we have tasted in Klang Valley.

Overall, the food here has great potential however they do need to improve on their service. By miles. The price is reasonable however, and the ambience is ok. Although the music can be a bit distracting at times, especially when they starts playing Miley Cyrus. (Sorry Miley but your music don't belong to a chill-out Pizza joint I think).

When it comes to choices of eateries in 1 Mont Kiara mall, it can be quite limited and most of them are you run-of-the-mill chain restaurants. Ko Hyang is located on the first floor, same floor as Sushi Zanmai, Sukiya and Steam Room. For some reason, even though I absolutely love Korean cuisine, I have not actually been to this place. Probably because of their less than desired 'kiosk/stall' setting. It is however rather popular and even at time of my visit (3.30pm) there were still quite a few tables full of customers. So I decided to walk in and try something on the menu.

I like how their menu is small and manageable, consisting of some attractive set menus too. I chose the Dol Sot Bibimbap set because having lots of vegetables mixed together was pretty appealing to me. They offer a chicken or beef version and I opted for beef. The set comes with a small bowl of soup. I'm not sure if this changes regularly but what I got was egg drop soup. It tasted pretty light but well seasoned. Comforting for my irritated throat. The ban chan are all served together and here we have Kimchi (from left), Marinated anchovies and Potato cubes cooked in soy and garlic. All pretty tasty. I was particularly intrigued because the anchovies was sweet, rather than salty. My glorious bowl of bibimbap arrived shortly after. I'm willing to overlook the overcooked egg (no runny egg yolk, but nevermind). What I really like though, is that they use purple and some mixed grains rather than plain white rice. Which means it's much healthier! As for the toppings, apart from the minced beef and egg, we have thinly sliced shitake mushrooms, shredded carrot, cucumber, onion, seaweed and radish. A good dollop of gochujang binds everything together. All I needed to do (and that was the fun part) was to mix everything together well. Tada! Ready to eat! The colours are just so appealing! Taste wise, it was pretty balanced with sweet, salty, spicy and hint of tang (from the gochujang). Wonderful textural contrast happening there too, as most of the vegetables are still pretty crunchy, combined with some of the charred rice at the bottom. Needless to say, I finished this well and good! Oh I also added the Kimchi to the rice just for extra flavour boost. I guess if I'm ever too lazy to make this dish, I will just come here instead. Great discovery! Perhaps I will ask them to drop an raw egg in instead next time.

Service is surprisingly quick and very friendly. And my bill came up to RM21.60 with a bottle of mineral water.

Strangely I don't venture to Plaza Damas (or Hartamas Shopping Centre... isn't it confusing?) that often even though I live quite close by. I suppose there isn't much to attract me there. But I heard that there are plenty of interesting eateries there. The other day while waiting for an appointment. I check out Room Eighteen and decided I like their menu, so I walked in and ordered a 2 Combination Wanton Noodles.

Clearly this is a very Cantonese or Hong Kong inspired restaurant judging by the emphasis they put on BBQ Meat as well as Dim Sum items. I choose char siew and siew yoke to go with my noodles. Both the siew yoke and char siew looked good! The char siew in particular, has a balanced meat: fat ratio. So I was eager to take a bite. While it wasn't the best char siew I've had in Klang Valley, this was pretty high up there. Sweet, tender and flavourful! The siew yoke was pretty good too, with excellent crispy skin, enough amount of fat and tender meat. The noodles were retaining their bite, and nicely seasoned. Overall a pretty satisfying dish! I will keep this place in mind if I crave for this again.

Madam Kwan actually offers a good range of local food and they are all quite delicious. This outlet is for people who shy away from street food, but of course the price range is higher as a result. I have tried their nasi lemak which was quite good with large portion size. Not long ago I brought some of my friends who were visiting from Melbourne to the Pavilion outlet. While they enjoy their assam laksa I ordered a Char Kuay Teow for myself.Very good looking plate of CKT I must say. With quite a few big prawns, good amount of other toppings as well. Only thing missing there is the blood cockles (and crispy pork lard since it's a pork free outlet). No matter, I still enjoyed it as the noodles were fried perfectly with plenty of wok breath. Yum! It does get quite busy during mealtimes but service is efficient enough.

It's no secret that I am a huge fan of anything spicy. And I'm glad there are many places in Klang Valley now offering Chili Pan Mee. Kin Kin and Super Kitchen would be my top 2 picks, and funnily enough on Jalan Dewan Sultan Sulaiman 1, these 2 outlets are almost directly opposite each other. The major difference is that Super Kitchen has airconditioning, and the service is friendlier for sure.

Of course, since I'm at a Chili Pan Mee joint, there's only one thing to order. As usual, the Chili Pan Mee comes with minced pork, fried anchovies, poached eggs, some fried shallots, and well as spring onion. Then all you need to do is grab the container of chili paste and add to your heart content. I'm crazy with spicy food so I add at least 4 spoonfuls. Then, mix everything together and you get this beauty. Yum! The portion here is also slightly larger than Kin Kin, so one bowl is plenty enough to satisfy me. The chili here is also quite explosive, perhaps not quite as good as the one at Kin Kin, but still good enough to warrant return visit. Aahhhh, suddenly I'm craving for Chili Pan Mee! Also, when you order the noodles, it automatically comes with a bowl of clear soup with pucuk manis. Good to calm your stomach down after all that chili.
