For some bizarre reason, the mother was in an exceptionally good mood and decided to take me to have a rather extravagant lunch. Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant had been long standing and also welll raved by many people for their abalone dishes as well as their assorted dim sum. 

To my surprise, there were quite a number of tables already filled when we arrived early on Saturday. I guess many families choose today to enjoy a good meal together and despite the many people (even children) the place was not crazily packed or noisy which I preferred. 
Since we ordered the set meal fit for 2-3 people, it already has the standard menu which the chefs have put together for us. Easier for the diners since we do not know what to order and would rather not waste the waiter's time asking several questions over and over again.The first dish is the deep fried seafood wrap. This I quite liked because it was fried to perfection and not at all oily even though it is deep fried. Plus the filling tasted amazing! The set also came with stewed Abalone with Japanese Mushroom and Vegetable. When I saw the huge piece of abalone, my heart almost died because I honestly could not comprehend how much this dish would have costed on it's own. Although it was scarce if you just ordered this without anything else, I think it is just right shared between two people when you have a set meal.

The seafood was nicely stewed, tender but also had a nice bite to it. I could not get enough of the sauce and would have happily mopped it all up if we were not in a rather high-class restaurant. Our set meal also comes with a plate of abalone fried rice. I was already quite full by the time this arrived and slightly put off by the yellow colour. Though, the scent of it was so tempting that I couldn't not eat it so I took a bite and... IT WAS SOOOO GOOD!

There was a very strong flavour of the seafood and also a good 'wok-hei' scent. I couldn't stop eating until I was really filled to the brim.

Although my mom & I really enjoyed our meal at Ah Yat Abalone Restaurant, we definitely would not be back here anytime soon as the prices are a little too high for an everyday meal. Though for special occasions, it's worth dining here.

For my birthday, a friend decided to treat me to a nice buffet lunch because we'd get to eat all that we want for the same price. We decided on Zipangu because it has gotten raved reviews for it's quality and Japanese food which is something we really enjoy. 

So it wasn't really a surprise that the place was quite filled with people considering that we went on the weekend. There were several families and also many other tables occupied but we got a nice quiet corner by the window. I gotta say that the staff are very friendly and accomodating because they led us to the quiet corner which I had requested for. They were also very attentive whenever we requested for some green tea or anything else. Service is a definite plus. As for the choices of food however, there is the selection of salads and then there were also the standard Japanese fare such as assorted sushi that were continuously made to fill up any empty platters. There was also a large corner for the seafood where it is pretty much available at most buffets. The seafood looked fresh and the two chefs behind the bar were working constantly to slice up the sashimi to make sure that the serving platters were always filled. Everything was very good that I had several helpings of them all. 

All of the oysters were rather large in size, so were the prawns which I ate many rounds of.The dessert corner was my friend's favourite because there were many kinds - assorted cakes and pastries gallore. Since I prefer the savoury food, I did not really indulge in any dessert. However, apparently they were all only so-so according to my sweet expert friend. 

Although I really enjoyed the buffet spread, this isn't a place that we'd return to if it were not for a sepcial occasion because of the rather steep price tag. Though I guess it is kind of worth it if you're a big eater and indulge in most of the seafood. 

My friends and I have heard great reviews about A Pie Thing, but never got a chance to visit because that isn't the area we are near each time we are out. So when we got together for a mini food adventure, this was on our list of places to try. 

Though we were already quite full from an earlier dinner when we arrived, there was still room for desserts which is something we were eyeing on as we got there. 

To no surprise that there were a lot of people as it was the weekend and it was a little over dinner time when we arrived. The queue started right outside the entrance as you have to place your order at the counter before taking a seat while you waited for your pies. 

The savoury pies looked really good and to have it topped with your choice of mashed potatoes and/or peas, it was tempting. But our stomachs could only take so much and we only wanted to try their sweet pies.The first pie we got was the Smores Chocolate pie. Though in my eyes it seems more like a tart than an actual pie, but semantics doesn't matter because it is all in the taste.

You get either a choice of milk or dark chocolate - we ordered the latter so that it wouldn't be overly sweet. This was literally one of my favourite desserts ever! The bruleed marshmallow on the top was meltingly soft and sweet, mixed with the bitter dark chocolate and crunch tart in one bite was heavenly. Definitely a must try! Another dessert we ordered is on of their popular ones - it is the Nutella pie with Vanilla ice cream. Truth be told, Nutella is not exactly my favourite thing in the world even though it seems to be everyone's chosen spread. But I obliged my friends and agreed to this because it came with a scoop of ice cream which I enjoy.

Though when I tried a bite, I quite liked it because they somehow managed to make the Nutella taste more chocolatey & less of the hazelnut after-taste which I detested. Plus mixing the warm tart with cold ice cream was gooooood!

Need to be back to try the rest of their pies - savoury and sweet. :3

It is becoming increasingly clear that BreadFruits is one of my top five places to go to for a meal. Doesn't matter if it is for breakfast, lunch or dinner, they will always satisfy my hunger.

So for lunch, that was where I head and lucky for me, their breakfast & sandwiches menu was still available. Something that I have had my eye on the past few times that I have visited in the evening - but they told me that this part of the menu ends after 2pm. If I remember correctly.

I heard good things about the Salmon & Avocado sandwich and was about to order that, until I saw another that caught my attention more. Plus it was labelled as a Bruschetta which appeals more to my appetite that day.

So I got the Tomatoes, Mushrooms & Cheese sandwich on top of Ciabatta bread. Only when it arrived, it wasn't as small as I thought. Plus they were very generous with the cheese so my entire bread was covered in melted what I assumed to be mozarella cheese. They also top the sandwich with a handful of rocket leaves which I really like as it gives a nice added flavour. 

After days of bugging my mom, she finally gave in and brought me to eat lunch at one of my favourite Thai restaurant! As always my favourite drink to order is Thai Iced Tea. I just love the flavour of it compared to regular tea, plus the different kind of sweetener they use really makes this truly unique. For Rm10.90, I shared this with mom because it was a really big glass and I'd rather be chugging water than this anyway. 

Then for dishes, we ordered two and one bowl of white rice to share. First is Stir Fried Baby Kailan with Salted Fish - again, another one of our favourite veggies to order. Although it was good, I firmly believe that we can get better from a Chinese restaurant and perhaps even for a bigger portion for the price of Rm15.90. And finally, my absolute favourite is the Steamed Siakap with Chillies, Garlic and Lime sauce. Not many places can get this dish as good as Absolute Thai can. 

Every spoonful of sauce is like a big punch of spiciness and sourness. I can just drink the sauce without really even touching the fish, especially since they keep this metal plate lighted so the 'soup' will always be hot.

Though be warned, this is not for those that are not good with spicy food.
