Sukiya  Smile Nov 22, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Restaurant

I have passed by Sukiya countless times previously but never went in. My ex-boyfriend said it looks expensive as he has the impression that every Japanese food is expensive. Now that I come today, I had the shock of my life when I saw the prices of food here at only RM 6.90-RM 7.90 for a don or any rice item with chicken or beef etc! 

There were quite a number of customers even though it was only 11 am. Probably it is due to the low prices of food which makes it affordable for families. 

I ordered the Gyudon Japanese Curry Rice with seasoned beef which cost RM 12.40. I only had to add RM 5.50 to make it a set with side dishes of preserved cabbage and also seaweed, both of which are amazing as appetizers. There is not a tinge of curry powder taste in this dish, unlike the japanese curry I ate in franchise restaurants. 

My friend ordered the Oyakadon chicken with egg rice at only RM 9.90. In this day and age, there is still a Japanese restaurant that sells food at less than RM 8, with awesome taste! We added RM 6.90 for a Kara-ague Set of Miso Soup and deep fried chicken. I am not a proponent of deep fried items so I only ate a piece of this.

Seoul Garden Hot Pot  Smile Nov 22, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Korean | Restaurant | Halal

Initially I thought that Seoul Garden only sells steamboat but it turned out there is a new concept of selling hotpot and korean food, only in Main Place and also Cyberjaya. 

I was attracted to the cheapest and most worthwhile glass noodles in the world, at only RM 8.90! The best part it that it consists of so many ingredients inside such as shredded carrots, fresh mushrooms, 4 big prawns, 3 mussels, spring onions, onions. The glass noodles are thoroughly mixed with a lot of flavours and has absorbed the soy sauce to make it blackish, done just the way I like it as it was not oily at all, unlike those that I have eaten elsewhere. 

My friend ordered the Beef Bulgogi Kimgaru Rice (RM 16.90) which comes with a beautiful bull's eye egg on top. The dish is very simple yet delicious. It is almost like eating in a Korean home. With a top up of RM 5.90, one can get 3 banchan of your choice. I chose the Spinach Namul, Bean Sprouts Namul and also Marinated Cold Clams. The banchan are filled to the brim. 

There was a promotion of Sparkling Sour Plum juice, whereby the original price is RM 5.90 but there was a RM 2 discount. The juice is normal and taste like any plum juice at the coffee shop. 

It is better to order the free flow Hot Korean Bailey Tea or Cinnamon Tea which have strong flavour and taste and also nutritious. 

I am definitely coming back due to the affordable and tasty food.

Cubs & Cups  Smile Nov 15, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Café | Pizza/Pasta | Desserts

Cubs and Cups is a community cafe that is very unique as it is catered for those with dogs. Not many cafes and restaurants allow dogs to be brought in. There are many house rules on the wall, such as owners need to pick up after their pets and are not allowed to bring in aggressive pets and that if dogs are unleashed, they need to be guarded by the owners.
There are two big husky dogs, Nachos and Mocha that are owned by the Korean owners. They roam around as the cafe is their playground and home. One of them wear a diaper, to prevent them from pooing everywhere. They roam on the upper ground and mingle with all customers who are definitely dog lovers. The darker fur husky that is older has less energy and lies in the middle of the place.
I like playing with the puppies and dogs here. I especially like the puppies belonging to other customers such as terriers, pomeranians, spaniels and shih tzu. They all roam around freely but some are a bit shy because they do not know who are the customers.
The other good part about this place is the tasty food at affordable prices. When it comes to taste, we can be rest assured if we have a team of Koreans at the kitchen and as barrista. The Hazelnut Latte (RM 13) was quite delicious with hazelnut taste inside. The heart on the foam is slightly not that perfect. There was a special offer of a free pink lemonade with any LIKE on their Facebook page and order of any drinks.
We love the Churro Waffles (RM 20) that are coated in sugar and served with little caramel and chocolate sauce. The waffles are sweet, crispy and delicious to be eaten like finger food.
The Avocado Pizza (RM 28) is also quite special. Since to me, avocado is tasteless, I requested for them to add in pepperoni at RM 3 which made it more filling. The pizza is very thin and crispy and was still tasty even after it was cold. It was done like classic Italian pizza.
I am definitely coming back here as it is a fantastic place to make friends and to get rid of loneliness.

Olive Garden  Smile Nov 10, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Restaurant | Pizza/Pasta | Seafood

I just discovered the Olive Garden Restaurant in Mid Valley mall. I was drawn inside by the waiter who informed us that any main dish can get free unlimited soup or House Salad. Everything is served together with grated cheese. 

I ordered the Five Cheese Ziti Pasta (RM 29.90) which is very cheesy with tiny minced meat sprinkled on top with grated cheese. The pasta is simple yet quite good. 

With this al dente pasta, we could get a free soup that comes together with soft bread. The bread is even better than the one at Dominos and Pizza Hut. The best part is also the bread is not oily. 

We could have a choice of 3 soups but of course me being the food reviewer, I tried all of them that are Pasta e Fagioli, Alfredo Chicken and Gnocchi and also Minestrone. If not for this promotion, each soup would have cost RM 11.80 per soup. The Pasta e Fagioli is a tad too salty for me with beans, onions, beef, tomato and pasta. 

Alfredo Chicken and Gnocchi soup is just normal with a bit too much cream. There are pieces of chicken and carrot inside with cream. 

The Minestrone is so delicious with no cream. There are shell type pasta inside together with capsicum, carrot, carrot. The soup is not as salty as the first one. 

I thought that every Italian place has great coffee so I ordered the Cappuccino (RM 8.90) but it turned out to be terrible that I could not even finish it. There was simply too much foam and bubbles inside and not taste of coffee at all. 

The other main dish I ordered is the Shrimp Aglio Olio (RM 28.90) which was done al dente and not even oily. There are cooked it together with capcicum cubes and has 4 big prawns. 

With this main dish, we could order the unlimited House Salad which comes served in enormous glass bowl. The salad contains fresh green salad vegetables and croutons, shredded carrots and purple cabbage. 

The Hot Chocolate looks tasty but I was not sure about the taste because I have no chance to try it. The Lipton Iced Tea (RM 9.90) was too sweet.

Secret of Lousiana  Smile Nov 09, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Western variety | Restaurant | Pizza/Pasta | Seafood | Burgers / Sandwiches

This is a place with very good ambience for romance as it is by the Kelana Jaya lake where you can enjoy the breeze. There are yellow lights on the rail that creates this sort of fairy tale feel together with plant leaves falling from above. In fact, from far, one can see the yellow lights illuminating the place. If it had not been raining, I would have wanted to take a photo outside and also go for a stroll around the area. My friend said this is the ideal place to watch sunsets. 

A lot birthday gatherings are done here too. This is a fantastic place with awesome Lousiana food. When I first arrived, I was so fascinated by the lights and view outside as well as the interior which has country feel. 

I ordered the Oysters (RM 28) which were too small to be worth the cost. I like the garlic toppings on top. 

We were famished so I ordered the Crayfish Bisque (RM 28) which was a delight to the tongue and tastebud, with its sourish taste and also capsicum, onions and 2 crayfish and 2 big prawns. The soup comes served with a breadstick. The crayfish is so fresh and tasty. There are a lot of live crayfish in the aquarium. 

The Da Vincci Code Cocktail (RM 26) was quite tasty and it came together with shaved ice. 

The iced tea was of top quality as we could taste the bitterness of the black tea. 

I ordered the recommended Rack of Lamb (RM 75) which is so tender, succulent and juicy. There are baked potatoes and also salad that comes together with it. It was truly never to be missed if you come here. The lamb does not have too much of fats too. 

Since we were still hungry, I ordered the Jerky Chicken (RM 32). This place is famous for chicken so I decided to try this. Jerky chicken is made with some perservatives as the sauce thereby making the chicken stand out. It is served with fried rice which was too hard for my liking. I have requested for the salad to be served with balsamic vinegar instead of thousand island and it turned out better.
