Cheesy Pork Lasagne RM26
The amount of cheese was really generous. The cheese literally covered up the whole dish! Minced pork meat cooked in bolognese sauce & cheese sauce were generously spread out in each layer of lasagna sheet, resulting in a moist, flavourful and wholesome dish. I enjoyed this dish a lot but some of my friends think that it was tad dry. Recommended.

A while ago when I was performing my daily routine of browsing livingsocial and groupon for irresistible deals, I stumbled upon a deal at living social on Traditional English Afternoon Tea at Piano Lounge, Grand Dorsett Subang Jaya for only RM30 for 2 pax. Grand Dorsett is a five star hotel, and it is located quite near from where I live. My heart was itching. I've always wanted to experience a full English Tea. Mum's birthday was around the corner. LIGHT BULB MOMENT. I purchased the deal for my mum as her birthday present =PThe ambient there was tranquil, calm and peaceful. I immediately felt so relaxed once I step into Piano Lounge. The red carpeted floor, paired up with the black coffee table and yellowish gold sofa chair give the place a sleek, contemporary feel.Their ceiling, decorated with round glasses that resembles Chinese lanterns The bar, where all the drinks were prepared. The sound and aroma of the coffee machine grinding coffee bean was soothing to the ears and noseFor the drinks, we were given a choice between English Tea or Freshly Brewed Coffee
Being a coffee lover it was my automated response to opt for coffee
The coffee has a strong and aromatic body. Loved it =) It took quite a while for our three tier tea time delight to deliver to us. Not a bad thing, as the ambient was really soothing and relaxing =) more family bonding and interaction time Scones with jam and cream and Sardine Puffs
The Sardine Puffs feel very out of place. It was too Malaysian to me. I was hoping for a full English tea but the sardine puffs really tasted like curry puffs LOL. But nevertheless, the crust was rich in butter aroma, crusty and crispy. Delicious but I prefer if it was replaced with some other pastry which is more English =P

The scones were aromatic, fragrant and has a loose texture. I've tasted better ones at Cameron Highlands but the scones served at Piano Lounge was definitely one of the best scones I've ever tasted! And I think this is the best scone I have ever eaten..in Subang Jaya =p It's so hard to find a decent scone in Klang Valley :X
However I find the cream a little tasteless. It felt like it was homemade but it didn't really suit my liking.Fruit Tartlets, Chocolate Brownies and Raspberry Financiers
After reading the menu Grand Dorsett posted on Livingsocial, I realize it wasn't supposed to be chocolate brownies but OPERA CAKE. But the chocolate brownies were REALLY GOOD so I didn't mind heh. Rich in chocolate flavour, the chocolate brownie was moist and soft. It immediately melted in my mouth as a took a bite! Wonder why they gave us THREE of it not FOUR. Probably trying to make us fight? LOL

The fruit tartlet was filled with chocolate and cream cheese, and topped with a strawberry glazed with corn syrup. The crust , rich in butter aroma, flaky, PASS. The content, chocolate+cream cheese, texture was smooth and creamy, tasted not too sweet, paired up with the sweetened strawberry perfectly. PASS! Of all the pastry we tried, I personally preferred this the most. Yummy!

Financiers dusted with icing sugar and topped with raspberry
I find this too dry, and the raspberry was really sour. I didn't like it.Salmon Finger Sandwich and Egg Finger Sandwich
Two piece of de-crusted white bread slathered with butter and mayo, sandwiching two slices of fresh salmon, cucumber and tomatoes.
Finger sandwich was pretty normal. Brother claimed that he can DIY at home too LOL.
They used wholemeal bread for the egg sandwich which I found a tad dry

Komugi Cafe, a bakery cum cafe that has just opened in Subang Parade.
Komugi cafe has a small sitting area located at the far end of the bakery, and also an outside sitting area for smokers. I loved Komugi's pastry. I often buy em for breakfast whenever I go shopping at Sunway Pyramid/Mid Valley. Since the Subang Parade's branch is a cafe, they also serve hot meals such as pizza and soup. We decided to skip the pastry and go for their soup instead Mushroom Bread Bowl RM9.90
My byfriend and I were pleased with the presentation and happily dig in to the soup. However, the soup was not hot at all. In fact it was no where near warm! We sent the soup back and requested it to be warmed up.

*****

Sure enough, we received a new soup bowl. Steam were seen pipping out of the soup. After making sure that everything is alright, we dig in again!

The soup was thick, chunky, and flavourful. Each mouth full was filled with the wholesomeness of fresh mushroom. I enjoyed it really much. The bread bowl was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. It possessed the qualities of a good baguette. The bread soaked up the warm soup, softening it, making each bite so tender and flavourful.

The only complain I had was the mess we made ^^" The waiter did not provided us with knife, and I couldn't find any knife at their counter so we ended up painstakingly slicing up the bread bowl using our fork and spoon. And yeah...you could imagine how barbaric we were LOL. But the main point is I enjoyed it very much

The Grind House Burger (RM19 for Pork, Rm21 for Beef)
Pork/Beef Patty, bacon, fried egg, caramelized onions, natural cheddar, crisp green, onions, tomato and their special dracula mayoCheck out the MAASSSSUVE GINORMOUS size of the burger! This certainly has to be the largest burger I've ever eaten! It was soo big it couldn't fit into my mouth and I had to eat the burger Asian style (using culteries lol).

The burger fell apart as I embrace it so it's hard for me to taste the burger as a whole ^^". I ate the by two components, pork patty + caramelized onions + bottom bun and top bun + bacon + fried egg + dracula mayo I find the pork patty a little dry. The reason being was stated above. I ate it one its own rather than eating it with its accompanying condiments/compartments. It'd be awesome if I ate the burger as a whole! I really liked the draculla mayo. Don't be put off by it because it is pink. It actually tasted pretty awesome! It forms a perfect medley with the fried egg, bacon and top burger bun. The caramelized onions were cooked till perfection, soft, sweet and satisfying, adding flavours to the burger. The fried egg was really well done too, with the yolk spilling all over the burger, infusing with the melted cheese, adding richness to the burger.

However, I wished if they slathered on more draculla mayo on our burger. It wasn't messy enough, on my humble opinion =P I'm a big fan of messy burgers heh.

Kinoko Gohan Burger (RM17 for Pork RM19 for beef)
Short grained rice patty,
I went all "awww" when the burger arrived. It looked so cute! Like a sushi. Or am I the only one who thinks this way?
This was my dad's order. He opted for Beef patty.
The beef patty was really juicy. The juice came oozing out with a bite. It was very well-marinated. The rice patty was really something new to me. It was slightly burnt on top to give the patty a crisp and aroma. Oh no worries the patty wasn't hard at all! It was done to the perfect amount of tenderness. Or hardness. I was amazed and I wonder how did they manage to stick the grains together. Am also awestruck, how this whole burger come together so wonderfully. My dad just gave me a smaaaaaallll portion of his burger but I addiction kicked in with a bite. I sooo wished that I had ordered this burger instead =(

This burger is for the win.

Somehow I felt as if I was eating a fusion sushi when I was eating this burger too =P You know, those sushi roll you get from sushi zanmai?
