Japanese buffet  Smile Jun 09, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Ramen/Udon/Soba | Group/Family dining

In Taman Desa, there is this place with Japanese buffet. It also offers ala carte, but if you're in for a feast, its not too bad a place.

 
Pricing is around 40++ for lunch and add another 10 to the number for dinner buffet.

 
The list of food to choose from. I find the list ok (you will be full with just a few mains anyway). However, there are a few things they restrict you to, like 2 scoops of ice cream each, and a limited number of freshly cut sashimis and handrolls, which probably makes other places such as Maiu better.

 
Ambiance is not too bad, apart from the fact that you have Indonesians serving you in a Japanese place smile

 
The staple such as various miso soups and chawanmushi. Hearty enough smile

 
Garlic fried rice and various sushi's. The quality is not too bad, but with the amount of Japanese rice they put at the bottom you get filled up pretty fast smile

My conclusion? Took me a while to find the green sign board, it just blended so well with its surrounding. It's not too bad a buffet in itself, but having tried the likes of Maiu and others, this place will only be my second(or 3rd) choice smile

Hartz Chicken Buffet @ Pyramid Cry Jun 09, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Buffet | Steaks / Chops | Seafood

Hartz Chicken Buffet recently renovated and shifted to a new site (facing sunway lagoon). Ambiance did look better than the previous location, and if I may say so , the spread at Hartz did not look too bad.

 
But first sights do lie. After choosing from their limited amount of food,we tucked in hungrily. But to our horror, the spread at 5.30pm was really bad, to put it mildly. Both the soup choices were sour, all their salad with mayonaise was sour(I can't imagine how many days they left the food there!) and the Asian dishes were just...bad and unappetising.

 
The only edible (and perhaps nice) was the Chicken, especially the country fried ones. But service was slow, and they did not replenish it with new stock eventhough the chicken was halfway gone. There were limited amount of chicken drumstick and thigh, and the other parts were just...dry. sad

They gave me a voucher saying that if I come back, I can get 40% of my next meal. My verdict? Not a chance. I'm just relieved I did not get a tummy ache.

Italian food close to home Smile Jun 09, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Restaurant | Pizza/Pasta

Veneeze Restaurant looked warm and cozy from the outside, with a friendly atmosphere inside.

 
Asparagus soup. (Soup of the day). It was thick, good, and the portion was good as well. No complaints. Now why do other shops have to water down their soup??

 
Garlic fried mushrooms. Recommended. I spoke to the manager about it being a tad bit oily, but he reassured me saying that the mushrooms were fried with olive oil (which I guess is more healthy than normal oil). RM4 the last time I checked.

Took a pizza as well, but since I was so hungry I tucked it, and by the time I remembered it was gone! I took the recommended pizza with lots of stuffing's on top.
Their pizzas in general are not too bad, and most are priced under RM20 for a standard 12 inch, which is the normal rate I guess.

Would I go again? Probably smile Try going during lunchtime, they have some offers like set lunches that make it all the more worth it smile

Indian food with little fanfare OK Jun 09, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malay | Restaurant | Seafood | Burgers / Sandwiches

There's this little place tucked inside the Scott Garden Mall( which is amazing to look at but seriously messy to find the way around) called De Chennai Cafe. The place is just like your average school canteen, and is hidden behind some bigger shops. I actually walked for 1 hour or more before finding the place! you can imagine how upset I was.

However, the owner cum the chef was really nice. Food is respectable too, if I may say so.

 
"Manggo lassi". Sweet, but it tasted more like mango juice than lassi. Nontheless for a sweet tooth like me, I'll take it still tongue

 
Briyani Mutton. The plate was not your usual big restaurant's "big plate small portion" business. The mutton portion was generous, and not too spicy, which was a big bonus for me as well.

If you're a sweet tooth you should try their deserts as well, which is supposedly made by real Indian chefs from India. I tried their cake that tasted like kuih but much sweeter (not sure of the name).

Not too bad, but unless they come up with promotions, probably won't go back anytime soon. The parking is a big issue at the mall after all. ;)

PiccaDilly, a nice place to be  Smile Jan 29, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malaysian variety | Western variety | Restaurant | Steaks / Chops

I've been at Picca Dilly several times now, and it has never failed to impress me. The portion is huge (or at least, reasonable), the price is always fair, and the taste is good as well. Besides that, the service is not too slow.

Today, I shall introduce to you some of the food from various catagories.

I don't have pictures, but if you like mushroom soup, theirs is pretty tasty, and comes with a piece of garlic bread.

 
Turkey ham pizza is around RM18 if I'm not mistaken. Full of cheese and turkey ham, the pizza is fully loaded, and is awesome tasting in the mouth lol

 
Normal white rice with rendang chicken I think. Chicken piece is big (not your small puny chicken), and with crackers as well. Price around RM6-8

 
Kung bao chicken from the chinese category. usually people complain chicken pieces are scarce when you eat out, here the portion is generous.

 
Hokkien mee. One of my favourite dishes of all times. Here its not too oily, and the portion comes with generous amount of prawns, fishcakes etc too. minus the pork lard, of course tongue

 
a huge pot of briyani king special (something like that). has both mutton and chicken meat. definitely a mouthful, and quite a lot for a girl like me. price about RM10.50.

 
Nasi Briyani Kambing. My favourite (I like lamb). The lamb portion in that little bowl is generous, and the taste really "kao" (tasty). If you're a lamb lover, a definite must try.

 
Mango jelly pudding dessert. Nice. They have a variety of desserts from your average ice kacang to cendols, lo han guo and much more.

The staff there are friendly as well, and some even know every single item on the menu! say when you tell them "no 85", they'll confirm (example) : nasi ayam" and its usually correct! Salute lol

There is also a nice bridge like structure where when lighted up at night is nice for photography. Verdict: A nice place for food, company and drinks too.
 
Recommended Dish(es):  Turkey ham pizza,Nasi Briyani Kambing,briyani king special
 
Spending per head: Approximately RM12(晚餐)
