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.
 
Recommended Dish(es):  bread pudding
 
Spending per head: Approximately RM20(晚餐)

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.

Manhatten Smile Aug 17, 2012

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!

Dinner of wantan mee Smile Aug 17, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Noodles | Nasi Lemak

Noodles and Toast has been around for a very very long time. Recently, they had a promotion where noodles were priced at RM3.90, which is a steal.

 
I ordered wantan mee dry and wantan mee soup. The soup wantan mee was really delicious, with roast pork that was lean and tasty and enough vegetables. The dumplings were good as well. However, I preferred the dry (normal) black sauce wan tan mee as I felt it was tasty. Medium sized was definitely enough to fill my tummy. Plus point: I din't feel thirsty after drinking some soup, meaning the MSG content is really little or nil even smile

Hi Tea @ Botanical Smile Aug 17, 2012

Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Pizza/Pasta

Recently , I tried out high tea at botanical at Bangsar Village 2.

 
The spread, although simple, was really really good. Variety was aplenty.

 
The chocolate cakes were nice! It was rich in chocolate flavour and was soft, not overbaked. Awesome.

 
Macaroons and marshmallows. The macaroons were a tad too sweet for my liking, but the texture was perfect, no complaints.

 
Various little bites, which tasted very, very good.

 
I especially liked the bun with the sausage filling in it. It was very well done, with the juicy sausage and tasty pastry.

I definitely had a good high tea lol
