My mom's friend brought us to this place for dinner because she's tried the food there before and found it pretty good. Also it's not super expensive - at least the dishes we ordered were not but I am not too sure about thir seafood so I can't vouch for that.The first dish that we order was the steamed Siakap in Ginger sauce. At first I was quite excited when this arrived because the whole fish was literally submerged in ginger sauce, which I quite liked. Though when I tasted it, I was quite disappointed cause there was quite a scarce amount of fish and the sauce was bland. Aside from the ginger taste, there was not much other flavour to it.Since this place had 'sang cheong' which is pig's intestines, we ordered it to be stir-fried with dried shrimp. This was my favourite dish of the nice because the flavour was good, spicy from the chillies that they add in it and also just the right amount of saltiness. Also the cheong was not soft which is a sign that it isn't fresh but it's nice & chewy. I liked this a lot.We also got their claypot kangkong which apparently is one of their popular orders. I don't know why but almost every restaurant is determined to make this vegetable in a claypot, maybe it enhances the flavour or something but to me it is just a gimmick. Maybe.

This turned out to be merely so so only. Even though I love kangkung, this was only ohkay.

After walking around at Sungei Wang with nothing bought, the family decided to take a small tea time break at Esquire Kitchen. Although we were still full from the earlier lunch we had, we only went their for their desserts.

We all got Tau Foo Fa which is highly raved about from Esquire, Red Bean soup and also Bubur Cha Cha which is my absolute favourite. Firstly the Tau Foo Fa which was not overly sweet though it was rather bland as I suspect they gave minimal amounts of syrup. But it was smooth as the soybean curds should be - although it is not the best that I've ever had. 

The Red Bean paste was only so-so to me. It was rather watery and the beans were not soft enough to my liking. Though I like that this was not overly sweet like some places would make it. 

The Bubur Cha Cha however was again so-so only. Nothing to shout about, but it wasn't terrible that it wasn't eatable. Just that I wouldn't go back there for a second bowl if I had the choice.

Personally I think I'd rather just eat their siew paos then the desserts after this time.

If there's one thing I remember about Victoria Station's is how I used to wander around the 'train' and pretended like I was some atas lady in the olden days. While my family dined, I used to walk around the make-shift train dining section as my imagination went wild. Clearly I was a very funny child.

An aunt of mine's favourite place to dine with Victoria's station so she used to bring me there to eat. But that has been many years ago and it's been a long time since I last ate here so my memory of the food might be a little off. Though I remember the food tasting exceptionally good especially being one of the better places to get steaks that are not exurbently priced. 

For an afternoon meal with my mom, we decided to have some steak and would rather not drive into town with the bad traffic so we chose Victoria Station. No surprise that my ideal table would be at the 'train' section but the waiter instead led us to another table despite the area where I wanted to be being entirely empty. Rather than be difficult about it we proceeded to order our meal instead.Something that I always order is the Garlic Steak which came with a side of steam vegetables, corn and also roasted potatoes. The scent of the sauce was pretty strong so I was quite excited especially considering how my entire plate was covered in it.

Though the taste was only so so and my steak was more medium than the medium rare which I had requested it to be cooked. Also I was not happy that I only got a measly tiny five pieces of sub-par roasted potato medalions. The sides were beyond disappointing and not even the steamed corn could make up for it. For variety sakes, my mother got the Steak with Mushroom Sauce which.... Was almost a bigger disappointment than my dish. This did not even come with a corn and that for me was just bad considering that their sides were already borderline mediocre as it is.

I don't know why, I was expecting really good food from here because of the memory I have of dining there. So when the food was way below my expectation, I was disappointed especially since we now have many other places to get equally or even better steak meals.

On the way back from a mini roadtrip to Ipoh, a friend brought me to this restaurant for dinner before going straight home. Apparently he's tried this place before and found the food there to be quite good so was determined to bring us all there to try. So we can validate his point.

It was a weeknight when we reached the place and a little after dinner time, but still the place was quite packed. As always an early sign on whether the restaurant serves good food or not is by the crowd that they have. Already from this I can tell that I was in for a good meal. Though slightly disappointed by the rather sour-puss looking staffs who were not too pleased with serving us whenever we called them over.We got the Claypot Braised Pork Belly with Salted Fish. I have to say that not many places can cook this dish well and I've had my fair share of this, considering that this is a family favourite. But Triple Round cooks this very well as the meat is nice and tender, the sauce is very well flavoured without being overly salty. Then we also got the Steamed Grouper in Soybean Paste. This was only so-so because the sauce was one-dimensional and very little despite us telling them that we wanted more. However I do enjoy the freshness of the fish as the meat was juicy and tender. Because we were all in the mood for some Lala, we order their steamed Lala in wine sauce. I did not find this particularly good because I had better ones before. It wasn't that this was bad or anything like that, but really nothing much to shout about as the lala was on the smaller and most of the shell were empty.Seeing as they had this that night, we also ordered their Sang Cheong with dried shrimp and chillies. Again, this was pretty good but  nothing to shout about. The cheong was less crunchy and chewy than I  would have preferred and lacked quite some flavour. But my friends enjoyed it very much, even the one that never tried sang cheong before.We must always have something green for a balanced diet, so we ordered sweet potato leaves stir-fried with garlic. This was also so-so only though I liked that the vegetable was not over-cooked which would make it mushy.

Actually the food served at Triple Round is pretty good. If I were somehow to be around that area or driving back from Ipoh again, then I'd stop by for a meal. But I most definitely would not drive all the way there from KL town just to eat there. 

Since it was a Friday night and my friend wanted to spend some time together at a nice restaurant. With that in mind, we decided to brave the KL traffic and headed straight for KLCC and went straight to Chinoz which had been renovated a year or two ago with a whole new menu.

And once we were at the entrance, we were greeted by staffs who were very polite and also attentive, if not a little too much so at certain times. It was a little after dinner time so the crowd was next to minimal so the ambience wasn't too crowded or noisy, almost borderline overly romantic with the dim lighting.

But we proceeded to order our food as we had been starving. Not too pleased with what we were seeing on their mains, we decided to order their appetizers as tapas style instead so we can share and try many different things.A favourite of ours, we decided to get the Lamb Meatballs cooked in Tomato Ragout. It comes with a side of toasts to dip into the sauce.

But for the price that we paid that night, this dish was a big disappointment. Although the meat was soft and tender there was also a lack in seasoning, plus resembled quite like pre-bought rather than in-house made. Plus the sauce was not well seasoned so we weren't a fan of this plate very much. This second dish which was also another big big disappointment was the Bruschetta with Aubergine, Spinach and Feta Cheese. The combination sounded heavenly as it had all of my favourite ingredients.

But the bread was soggy as if it wasn't toasted, aubergine & spinach mixture was very oily plus was super desperate for some seasoning and all around bad. We both took one bite of our bread and turned our noses from it for the entire night. Surprisingly enough, something so easy could also be such a failure.

Safe to say these two dishes really needs to be worked on because they were not cheap and could be gotten much better elsewhere without such a steep price tag on it.
