Famous French Toast Smile Dec 11, 2013   (Related Review)

Categories : French | Restaurant | Pizza/Pasta | Sweets/Snack

Famous French Toast (RM 16.80). Two thumbs up for this, the best french toast I ever had. Unlike the other french toast you had in OldTown or Hong Kong style cafe/ restaurant, this french toast is not made by deep frying stacked sliced bread with butter peanut filling dipped in beaten egg, served with a slab of butter topped with syrup or honey. The bread is thicker (it is Japanese bread?) and not scorched, soft and rich in custardlike flavour, not too wet and soggy. The beaten egg/ custard is really entirely penetrate and saturate every nook and cranny of bread.

 
Besides, the toast is lightly dusted with powdered sugar to give a slight hint of sweetness. Smooth and creamy home-made whipped cream and maple syrup are also served together with the toast. Eat this toast together with the whipped cream and a dollop of syrup for a taste of heaven. Overall, Miam Miam serves really unique and palatable foods, but the prices are slightly high, especially for the drink.

Miam Miam Spaghetti Smile Dec 10, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : French | Restaurant | Pizza/Pasta | Sweets/Snack

Miam Miam, a French-Japanese Cafe which named after the French expression "yum yum", is located at the ground floor of Gurney Paragon.

 
I'm clueless about the appropriate term that I can use to describe the design or concept of Miam Miam. Perhaps traditional-meets-modern concept? Quite eye-catching though.

 

 

 

 
The menu of Miam Miam is charming. Picture is included for all the food items in the menu. But choices are limited.

 
"Miam Miam" Spaghetti (RM24.80) is the signature spaghetti. This spaghetti comes with half poached onsen egg, egg plant, bacon, shimeiji mushrooms and sausage. The most special spaghetti I ever tried. This is a Japanese style spaghetti carbonara where spaghetti is topped with onsen egg (slow-cooked egg) instead of cream. The onsen egg is the highlight of this spaghetti. Mix the onsen egg and the other ingredients with spaghetti on the plate and eat. I promise you this will bring you a delightfully rich and satisfying toothsome chew. In addition, this spaghetti is not too oily and the portion is big, for 1 to 2 persons.

New York Pizza is famous for their pizza as well as charcoal burger (pork free). This pizza outlet is quite spacious.

 
The interior design of this pizza outlet is more of retro feel with many vintage photos/ posters hanging on the wall as decorative items.

 
There is a bar-height/ bar-type table at one side of the outlet where you can sit there to enjoy your foods while seeing how they prepare the pizza.

 
I would say the price of both the pizza and burger here is quite affordable as compare to other pizza outlets. We ordered one value set of chicken patty charcoal burger and an additional seaweed pizza. The burger set comes with a soft drink and garlic bread.

For the soft drink we chosen lemon lime flavour 7 up (original price RM 2.50), a perfect match with pizza and burger because it is quite refreshing.

 
The garlic bread (original price RM 3.90) is just like any other classic garlic bread. Toasted and crispy topped with butter.

 
Liberty chicken charcoal burger (original price RM 11.90). This is a burger of grilled chicken patty topped with chicken bacon, cheese, lettuce and coleslaw. The burger comes with fries. I like charcoal bun but their charcoal bun not to my liking (during my visit), not as soft as the other charcoal bun which I had tried. The grilled chicken patty quite soft, savoury but not juicy enough. This burger tastes even better with the chicken bacon.

 
Seaweed pizza (RM 9.90), also called Pearl Harbour, is a 6-inch classic hand-tossed pizza which they cut into 4 small pieces, just nice for one to two persons. The ingredients for this seaweed pizza including crab meat, pineapple, mozzarella cheese, seaweed and thousand island sauce. The ingredients are quite abundant and they are all fresh. The key to a really good pizza is the crust and their pizza is really a good thin-crust pizza. The seaweed mimics a salty taste, the crab meat mimics seafood taste, these two in combination with the cheese turned this pizza into a flavoured one with very heavy seaweed taste. Scrumptious. We love it at our first bite.

Namoo On The Park is the first Korean dessert cafe and bistro in Malaysia. I'm not a person who fancy about Korean foods, but then Namoo On The Park did caught my attention. Namoo means “tree” in Korean. Hence, most of the decoration items in Namoo are made of wood and brown is the main color, which then give people a comfortable and natural feeling.

 

 
In addition to Korean specialty desserts (both warm and cold desserts), Namoo also serves some Korean main dishes (from rice and noodles to burgers). For a complete list of foods serve in Namoo, kindly refer to the two photos of menu below.Back to the foods, rice burger is the reason why we are here. Namoo serves only three type of rice burgers: Bibi rice Burger, beef rice burger and shrimp rice burger. We ordered the chef recommended Bibi Rice Burger (Grilled chicken breast and mixed vegetables with sesame Bibi sauce, served on a grilled rice bun and fried egg) which costs RM 19.90. The rice buns are sticky, firm and dense. The texture of the rice bun is similar to our local sticky rice in bamboo. Not sure what rice they are using to make the rice bun, but it contains sesame seeds and seaweeds which add extra flavours. This rice burger is good and irresistible. Not to forget to mention, the Bibi sauce gives you an overall sweet, sour and spicy mix of sensation.

 
Besides rice burger, we decided to order a cold dessert since Namoo is a Korean dessert cafe. Final decision goes to the chef recommended cold dessert with a bombastic name, The King's Bing Soo (RM 12.90). Bing Soo or Bingsu means shaved ice in Korean. It is one of the popular summer dessert in Korea. The King's Bing Soo is a green tea shaved ice with rice cakes, red beans, mix fruits (kiwi, strawberries and banana) and ice-cream sprinkled with multi-grain powder. A perfect combination because a person like me who hate red beans also can't resist this. The fruits are fresh.

 
Thumbs up! Both the rice burger and shaved ice really make my day.
Total spending: RM19.90 + RM12.90

Goku Raku Ramen which located at Gurney Paragon serves really awesome ramen delights with rich and flavourful soup. Speaking of the restaurant interior design and environment, it has a very simple decoration (just like any other Japanese restaurants) with wooden chairs and tables, but cozy enough for you to dine in to fix your ramen crave.

 
For your information, Goku Raku Ramen serves two different types of soup base, namely Tonkotsu and Tokyo. Tonkotsu soup is a pork flavour soup whereas Tokyo is chicken flavour. Then for each of this soup base, you can choose your favourite from original soup, miso or shoyu soup. Both the soup is finely cooked for long hours over high heat and carefully stirred to enrich the broth aroma.

Super Char Siew Tonkotsu (original/miso/shoyu); Price: RM22.90(S), R26.90 (M), RM27.90 (L)
During our visit, we opted for super char siew tonkotsu and we chosen miso tonkotsu soup instead of original tonkotsu or shoyu tonkotsu soup. It is a ramen topped with homemade char siew, spring onion, bamboo shoot and lava egg. We ordered a small one for the price of RM22.90. The portion is okay only for a small bowl of ramen, so you should order at least the medium or large bowl of ramen if you are a big eater.

The miso tonkotsu soup is really thick, creamy and flavourful. The best ramen soup we ever had. The homemade char siew is not sweet like other char siew you have outside. It is with mild saltiness, so tender that it can melt in your mouth the moment it touches your tongue. The same goes to the lava egg. The egg white is solid and the egg yolk is soft and runny. It is so delicious. Your ramen is incomplete without this lava egg. As for the ramen (the noodles), thick and slightly springy.

 
Ebi Gyoza; Price: RM 10.90 (5pcs), RM15.90 (8 pcs)
It is a pan-fried shrimp, pork lard and chives dumpling. A rather unique combination, not too oily and a bit similar to Taiwanese guo tie. It is served together with a special sauce and salt & pepper. For the sauce, it tastes like sweet soy sauce. On the other hand, for the salt & pepper, it is slightly salty. To our surprise, it tastes really good when you eat the dumpling together with it rather than with the sweet soy sauce. As for the filling of dumpling, we expected more filling but in overall it is still acceptable. The prawn is fresh.

 

 

 

This restaurant is highly recommended for all ramen lovers.
