Fusion experiment OK Jan 15, 2012

Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Burgers / Sandwiches

This is another restaurant that is close by to Hotel Sri Petaling. It's one of those so called "fusion" western and asian restaurant around this area.
From the overall outside view, this place has a "lounge-gy" feel where the interiors are all very wood-based furniture, giving this whole place that dark feel.
They have very friendly staffs that greet you when you come in. Their menu are rather extensive, like any western food restaurant, they have the fundamental fish & chips, chicken chop, lamb chop, spaghetti and steak. Besides that, they also have Asian food, like nasi goreng and other asian cuisine. They had set meals during the lunch period and my family and I ordered from most of the set meals while I took the lamb chop with spaghetti. My brother took the chicken chop with spaghetti, while my parents shared a salmon steak. The set meal consisted of a drink (fruit juice/tea/coffee), soup of the day and the mains. The soup which came first was cream mushroom soup. Just like any canned mushroom soup, it was the same.

My brother's chicken chop came, the plate was quite full of stuff, it had salad, spaghetti and chicken chop, making it looked really big portion. He dug in. The spaghetti looked dry with coating of olive oil and garlic. A generous amount of spaghetti was given. My parents food came and with the amount of salmon came, we thought that it was rather worth it. My dad took a bite, he is very particular about fish odour in unwell-cooked fishes, but apparently so, the salmon was fine. Mine came, I started off with the spaghetti. Personally, it was a bit too dry and oily, it was rather tasteless as well. Then I moved on to the main course, lamb chop. It was a bit overcooked and the whole lamb chop tasted like chewing a piece of gum. It was too tough. And with the overwhelming amount of spaghetti that was oily, the whole meal made me felt bloated at the end of everything. An uncomfortable experience for me, personally I felt. Nothing exciting about this restaurant, sadly.

an uninteresting encounter Cry Jan 07, 2012

I noticed this place when I first came to Viva Home, when they were still advertising about this new mall in Jalan Loke Yew. I caught eye of this shop that reminds me one of my favourites, toast bread. Then, I came across a coupon that was selling for a pretty cheap deal to eat at this Bread & Butter.

But today, after eating there once, I would not go back and try again. It was just for an experience that I wanted to try this shop since they were selling toast bread.
Sadly, the place was quiet and there was only one worker to serve us. Though they have nice concept and signage but the sight of seeing nobody at the shop was rather discouraging for me...

Next, a glance at the menu and you would find that as expected, toasted bread with kaya (coconut custard, they call it) was their specialty. That was sure pretty obvious, any shop that starts with "bread" or "toast" would usually have the classic toasted bread as their specialty. So these was no less as well. With various topping ranging from kaya to condensed milk as topping, there quite an amount of choice to choose from, though from the menu board on the wall, the types of drinks seem to take more space than their specialty, sad.

However, looking at the price, I was surprised, because for a toast bread eating person like me, where toast bread with kaya and thick-sliced butter would only cost about RM1.80-2.00 this was considered expensive, and their drinks, was usual shopping mall prices.

So, I ordered the toast bread with cookies, while my sis ordered another with kaya. They had single layer and double layer to choose from, we took the single layer one.

To be honest, when it arrived, it was a bit disappointing to see that what I've ordered was just a piece of Hainan bread toasted crispy with kaya and cookies. It really didn't stimulated any appetite in me nor did my sis too. The taste was average, like any toast bread. The kaya was rather starchy and lack the fragrance of coconut and brown sugar while the bread with cookies was too dry to ingest. If it were combo with something a bit wet like chocolate, then maybe it would have went better. But then, it didn't.

We ordered drinks as it was part of the deal that we bought. So we ordered iced chocolate, raspberry and hazelnut. It tasted like diluted chocolate drink. Well, can't expect much from a shop that sells bread.

Overall, we both had a rather bad experience. It really was unexpected from a shop that looked so nicely furnished and thought off, such a waste.

It's HOT, It's CRUNCHY!!!
It's KFC...hahaXD shocked
that's what caught my eye when I saw the advertisment on TV!! tongue
so I decided that KFC was the place that I was gonna go for dinner...since I had no other appointments and I was craving for some meat!!
Went down to sri petaling and ordered this Dinner Plate!! I was so hungry I swear I could have eaten a zebra!

 
here's the dinner plate flaming crunch. I think there's a new one...
sooo...personally, I felt that the chicken was rather flat due to the spices they had on the Flaming Crunch...There was cornflakes!! >.< i guess that was what they meant by crunchy...sad rather disappointed with new flavour and I regretted that I ordered 3 pieces cuz by the time i was eating the 3rd piece...I felt so disgusted by eating just flat chicken...sad
sad sad sad...

I stil like KFC though...once in a while is a good food! lol
