本来今天和同事们“组成”的为食团要吃Sushi Zanmai,可是去到店前面看到很多人在前面排队。。我们这些上班族的吃饭时间是一个小时罢了,所以当然没有这些事件在那里慢慢排队吃饭的咯~~那么去哪里呢?还是吃回日本餐不过不是寿司了现在是日本拉面。在这里不用排队就可以吃了。

大伙们坐下Order了还不到十分钟面就开始上桌了,超快的服务速度。

这里的拉面特别之处,在那蛋里。。外面是全熟的蛋不过蛋黄却是在半熟的情况,很特别。这里的叉烧也不是省油的,叉烧的香味在嘴里翻滚中~~回味无穷。汤就还可以,不是很浓的汤味然后有一层油在上面喝起来嘴巴油油的。。感觉不是太好。面条的口感不错,瞒有弹性的不过看起来有点像云吞面。。如果把面换去比较厚的日本面条或许会更加好。

一碗面大概十八零吉左右,不会太贵当然也不算便宜,可是值得一试。

10th Year Anniversary Meal OK Sep 10, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malaysian variety | Café | Noodles | Halal | Nasi Lemak

Every 10th of the month from May until December 2015, Old town give away promotion where with RM10 you get to purchase a set meal (with choice of Minced chicken rice, BBQ chicken rice, Soup Pan Mee and Asam Laksa) with one drink (choice of Coke, Sprite and Grape Fanta) 

Come the day of the month, their outlet is Pavilion is crowded with office folks trying to grab this good deal, as perceived by many while myself I think it is just normal (You could buy chicken rice with drink outside for lesser price) but I guess because the name is Old town, so everyone think the deal is good.shocked

Staff will usually be under staffed to handle the sudden big crowd, so usually we have to wait for a while before being served with food, and they don't even have time to prepare fork and spoon for me. huffy

Food wise, I ordered the minced chicken rice. Portion is not very big but the rice did have the traditional chicken rice aroma. The minced chicken is quite salty and a bit spicy, while the soft boiled egg is broken so I can't really taste the egg there, the vegetable is okay not very hard, and the grape Fanta is good lol

Not So Brilliant After All OK Jul 04, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Malaysian variety | Restaurant | Noodles | Nasi Lemak

Curious by its name, "Brilliant Nasi Lemak" I embark on a journey to dine at this restaurant. The amenity seems ok, quite a big restaurant but not a lot of people, perhaps is because of evening weekend season? 

I ordered ice lemon tea and a plate of Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang and Sambal Sotong, the squid is too small and Rendang chicken is quite normal though, in short not very impressive. sad 

As a curious Chinese, I ordered the Pork Rendang too, this dish was quite a disappointment too as the Rendang taste completely overshadowed the pork meat taste, which make the dish completely meaningless by then. sad

Food portion was quite small, not value for money at all plus with the taste of it, It won't be my choice of place for Nasi Lemak

I had submitted the photos under Opensnap, you may check out my photos at the photo section of this restaurant.

Not a lot of people, quite spacious

Located near the main entrance of the casino, once you enter from the main entrance, walk far straight and turn left upon reaching deadend, the restaurant is just in front of you

Staff is obviously demotivated to the extend of not wanting to work, the service attitude we got so terrible, staff just reply us in a very rude way when we ask for dishes information. The restaurant does not contain any decoration, look like the typical primary school canteen.

Food Is served within few minutes, so obviously it is prepared in advance already, the freshness of the dish can be questioned. We had one braise chicken rice, which is quite okay, adequately filled with soy sauce, chicken meat is very nice with great texture, we almost being deceived by one customer who said loudly that it is not nice as we order it. 

The fried fishball mee is terrible, almost tasteless and the fishball is not nice, cannot really taste any fishy taste that a fishball usually has.

Irish restaurant had been a stranger to me for years as we rarely had a real chance of indulging in Irish cuisine, and now we no longer need to take hours of long flight just to grab a taste of Irish cuisine, it is now made available in Malones Irish restaurant and bar. Not known to me before being invited by my friend to have Friday night hangout, i was told by friends that it is a place you rather call bar than a restaurant as most patron here drink beer, so i guess having a few pint of beer is inescapable.

Decorated using open bar and vintage concept, it is quite a comfortable restaurant bar you like to visit especially during your Friday night session with your love one or colleague. Staff here are quite busy with their work, as we enter we almost ignored by the staff and we have to personally ask for help from the staff to be seated, i guess the part of coordination was not done perfectly.
Beer

Beer

 
Served in a stylish beer glass, the Guinness served with this glass make looking at the beer itself is so enjoyable and tempting to drink it. Couple with the good environment given by the restaurant atmosphere and the patron who chat and have fun as they enjoying their beer, it is no wonder such a place is full with office worker during Friday night.
Hotdog

Hotdog

 
Drinking beer without any snack is kinda boring, so the four of us decided to order some hot dog and mini burger to feed ourselves while chit chatting and slowly sipping on the beer. Thus hot dog, which i forgotten the name , is served with chili and hot dog slices, fit in with our beer as it add some spices to our taste bud on the ice cold beer. Texture of the hot dog meat was good and juicy, definitely a good side dish to couple with beer chopstick
Mini Burger

Mini Burger

 
Well, this one isn't that great, a stack of mini meat with some vegetables and very small bun. It is quite hard to eat these burger without getting your hand dirty as its small size make the handling process fairly hard. As you chew the burger, you find that it is actually very hard to bite and the texture of the bun is not great either. I will not recommend this dish, it sound nice but it does not taste nice at all.

On this special Friday occasion, we are lucky to witness an Irish band to perform with a Japanese drummer, though it can be quite noisy but i see most of the customer here enjoying the loud music and even dance together, this scenery you won't normally find it in restaurant, but in Malones it is still possible. Enjoy the music yourself here:

Malone Irish Live Band

 


In a nutshell, pricing wise is quite expensive and not really value for money especially for food. However it is disputably a place to hang out for your Friday beer, prices for beer seems more reasonable than the price for food. Credit card and cash are both accepted, service crew is quite attentive and sometimes come over to ask you if you want to buy more beer, can be quite annoying for some customer.
