Marco's Pizza, Kelana Jaya OK Jan 29, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Pizza/Pasta

 
Marco's Pizza is a homely restaurant situated opposite the Kelana Jaya LRT station. Its usually pretty empty during the day and weekdays, but weekends and nights see more patronage.

 
The ambiance is pretty nice, where you can sit comfortably with many sofa and cushions for you to hold (nice....), and staff are attentive to all your needs. Even the toilet is clean.

 
During a trip there, my family and I ordered 2 pizzas, which came with a 1.5l bottle of soft drink.

 
Smoked salmon pizza, thin crusted. For someone who loves pizza, somehow I find the taste a little strange. Definitely not comparable to pizza hut, to say the least.

 
2 different flavours of pizza on each side. One is the Marco's signature with turkey and chicken ham pieces etc, and the other side is the hawaii pizza, your classic pizza. Slightly better tasting, I reckon. Not bad, but still, not comparable to your average "fast food" outlets pizza hut and dominos.

 
Perhaps I'm not so much a fan of thin crusts, but to their credit, the pizzas were filling enough, and not stingy of toppings. The average price of a pizza there is RM28, and most are around RM26-RM30.

 
Later, we tried their bread pudding, which looked gorgeous. The taste was nice as well, creamy and melted in your mouth. Just be warned that the price is high too, around RM12 including tax for that small piece of bread pudding.

 
In conclusion, the place was not too bad, although the pricing is slightly up market. HOWEVER, my family and I had a shock when we came out into our car after eating. Driving for less than a block made us realise that someone had let out the air from our car front tyre (it was beside the highway, but was dark and secluded), and the guys proceeded to change the tyre. Almost immediately, a suspicious looking man with a pouch containing tools approached and asked if we needed help. We suspect he did it to earn a quick buck. Hence, my advice is be careful. Do park at a bright spot, preferably right outside the shop where the lighting is bright.

The exterior is beautiful - I think it recently went through a facelift or something. Environment is warm and cozy. The interior was well designed, Chinese lanterns and lightings, ambiance was good.

Some food ratings:

Mixed Roll Delite
Rating: 3/5, Original price RM18.90
A high class (read: more expensive) version of your street popiah. Ingredients were ok, but doesn't give you the refreshing taste your hawker side noodle gives you.

 
Vietnamese Beef Noodles
Rating: 3/5, Original price RM15.90
The special guest had this since we were taking the dry stuff. He said it was ok. . .Although I have to admit that I had tasted a better version at Pho Hoa @ Curve, Damansara Utama. This just din't impress me.

 
Grilled prawn with imperial roll noodles
Rating: 3.5/5, Original price RM17.90
Somewhat traditional Vietnamese Vermicelli with prawns and spring roll, which my bro and I took. Again, I feel that the Viet Vermicelli @ Pho Hoa is better. The sauce they provided there was refreshing, while there was no sauce here apart from sour chilli paste. Portion of ingredients were fair.

 
Jasmine and strawberry tea
Rating: 3/5, Price: RM6.90
My dad found it weird, while I find it mediocre. Strange tasting, not bitter but nothing exotic as well.verdict: try at own risk

 
Overall the experience was a normal one, nothing impressive. I'll probably not come back again since I can get the same stuff at a fraction of the price.

Overall ratings:
Food: 3/5, again, nothing to shout about. Wouldn't highly recommend it.
Ambiance: 4/5 - The ambience was pretty high class, no dirty cushions etc
Service: 4/5, no complains, though a tad slow at times
Price: 3/5 (Based on the deal price), Din't feel like the food was amazing.

Power beef noodles! Smile Jan 17, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malaysian variety | Restaurant | Halal

I LOVE beef noodles. There are not that many, since many Chinese don't consume beef. And among the few who sell beef noodles, they are either not tasty enough, stingy with ingredients, or simply are not appetizing enough.

Which is why Restaurant Tangkak Beef was such a surprise to me. At RM5.50/small, RM6.50/medium and RM7.50/large, this is definitely THE PLACE to go for beef noodles.

 
The pictures you see are the medium bowls. This is the pure beef (no intestines/tendons etc) + beef balls. The beef chunks were huge, soft and tasteful (if there is such a word!). Every bite brought only satisfaction and along with the laksa noodle, could not be any better.

 
The beef noodle soup (with intestines, liver, tendon etc). Just like the one above, the soup was rice and delicious, the beef noodles and ingredients was generous, and the beef slices were just to perfection. Good till the very last drop!

Power beef noodles, thats what it is. Haven't tasted such a great one since Pho @curve. Ps: service is great too, you'll be greeted with "thank you boss" (in mandarin) when you leave the shop. makes you feel like a king! lol

Western food in Kluang Smile Jan 17, 2013

Categories : Western variety | Café | Pizza/Pasta | Steaks / Chops

During my trip to Kluang, there were 2 places that served good western food. One is Ritch, and the other one is "Kokok". They are actually 1 min drive apart, in the same location.

 
Kokok serves Western food at somewhat KL prices, and the ambiance is nice as well. There is also a bar counter with lots and lots of hard drinks that would cost you a bomb as well. Hehe.

 
Pan seared fish fillet with ample greens. Taste is not bad, the food is fresh and the greens are...green. The sauce complemented the fish well. The presentation is good too, no?

 
Turkey ham sandwich. This was awesome, if you ask me. price range around RM10+. the chips were crispy and tasty(read: salty) and i loved it. portion was good! turkey ham was delicious, non spicy, and the bread was warm and lovely.

Would I go back? yes, definitely smile

Manhattan is one of my favourite go to for any meal. This is my favourite dish, their traditional fish and chips.

 
What I like about the fish and chips (RM15.90 I think) is the soft dory fish and its perfectly fried to golden brown breadcrumbs. I find it really delicious, whether with tartar sauce or not. The fresh salad at the side is a bonus, and I love the fries as it doesn't go "wimpy" after a while but still tastes crunchy after some time out. Love the seasoning of both the dory fish and the fries!
