My Birthday 2010

Dinner @ Victoria Station, Taipan

A simple yet joyful dinner with my hubby tonight. No cake, no candle and no birthday song.

Here comes our main courses.... I had "All Poultry" (with chicken sausages, fillet and pate) and honey dew juice. And for him is his usual Fish & Chip and Ice mocha latte.

Dad's Birthday Dinner

18 July 2010, Sunday @ Restoran Loon Sing (Kuchai Lama)

We visited this newly opened restaurant for dinner last night. The captain is not well trained to recommend the dishes, may be due to the restaurant just opened. Furthermore, we have to wait more than half an hour for our food and yet the restaurant is only half loaded.

The had few dishes but the cod fish is quite nice. Serving is a portion per pax.

My little nephew at the restaurant.

Cake cutting ceremony at home after the dinner. Very yummy chocolate cake from 'Just Heavenly'.

Italiannies @ Empire Shopping Gallery

8 May 2010, we went to the new Restaurant Italiannies located at ground floor in Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya, with Chee Hong and Mun Leong for free lunch! Thanks to Mun Leong for informing us about the free food during their training session.

The four of us... very satisfying after the heavy meal.

We have to sit in 2 separate tables.

My "Giant" cup of Hot Mocha!! Hahaha!

Our food... Classic Pizza and Grilled fish. Both taste very good! Thumbs up for it! We also had Minestrone soup, which is good too! The servings are big, the two main dishes can be shared among 3 person.

Tiramisu as dessert... yummy!

Breakfast @ Delifrance Cafe, Leisure Mall

Today, after visit to the gynae, we went to Leisure Mall in order to fill up our spare time before the sales workshop. Although it's lunch time, we ordered their All Day Long Breakfast Set. which comes with free flow coffee/tea. The presentation is very nice and the set is just above our expectation. Yummy! Very good! Must Try!

Roast Duck & Char Siew at Restaurant Spring 99 @ Shah Alam

This my second time visiting this restaurant. This shop is famous for their Char Siew. I drop by here when i'm in Shah Alam area. I know that there are not many non-halal and yet good food in Shah Alam. I might be wrong to say this as I don't stay around this area. We discovered this restaurant from our GPS system last year. We come for lunch, ths place is quite empty may be because we visit this place during odd hours. It might be packed during peak times, I guess so, since the food is quite good.

We ordered a 3 combinations dish, roast duck, charsiew and roast pork, in medium serving @ RM28 for the 3 of us. And also a plate of bean sprout. My husband commented their Char Siew tasted better during our first visit. I suggest that Char Siew is the MUST TRY when u come here!

Address: 3, Jalan Peniaga U1/35,
Hicom Industrial Park,
Glenmarie, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor.

Western Food at Bayou @ Alamanda Putrajaya

It is our second visit to this restaurant at Alamanda Shopping Centre, located at Lot G88, next to Starbucks. Other than western food, they also serve Italian food eg. pizza and pasta.

 

I ordered Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast served with mashed potato and salad (RM18.00), the meat is not too tasty, gotta dip with chilli sauce or the tomato basil sauce. I like the food deco tho'.

And Crispy Chicken Burger served with chips (RM14.00), this is delicious!

Western Food at Restoran Chop & Steak, Seri Kembangan

This western food restaurant located in Serdang Jaya, facing the roundabout. Just 2 minutes aways from Serdang Police Station and 5 minutes away from South City Shopping Centre. It opens since March 2008. I had been always wanted to visit this every time I passed by. The restaurant has very good business, most of the visitors are Malays. The overall design is also more towards traditional Malay design. The inside is quite stuffy, so we decided to sit outside, it was quite windy.

Although the restaurant is packed, they served the food quite fast. The juices are cheap, at only RM2.50 per mug. I ordered a honey dew juice, a Grill Chicken served with baked potato, baked beans & coleslaw (RM9.90) and Chicken Gordon Bleu served with fries and coleslaw (RM10.90). We have no complain for the price, it is quite filling. But the taste is just so-so, not too good but also not too bad. Before you leave, don't forget to take the order chit and pay at the cashier.

My Ratings (out of 10): 

Food and Drinks: 5 (The serving is big, quite filling, do not expect too high for the taste, juices in big mug only at RM2.50)

Ambience: 6 (Open air, stuffy inside, nice traditional-styled decoration)

Service: 7 (It's table serving, fast in taking order and serving the food)

Price: 9 (Cheap for western food. Average Spending RM12-RM20 per pax)

Hokkien Fried Mee at Keong Kee, Taipan USJ

Right after the Italian food at Pizza Uno, we wanted to have some "Tong Yuen" as dessert. So we went to the Kopitiam also at Taipan to search for the Tong Yuen from Port Klang. But to our disappointment, the stall is no long there. So I ended up recommend them the Hokkien Fried Mee. Since we have no more room for food, we just ordered a single serving, costs RM6 for everyone to try. I like the mee here, but my mum in law prefers the one in Puchong (next to Tesco).
The Ice Kacang looks delicious too!

My Ratings (out of 10): 

Food: 7 (I like the Hokkien mee, but not the fried kuey teoww, too oily)

Price: 8 (Average Spending RM5-RM7per pax)

Italian Food at Pizza Uno, Taipan USJ

It has been few years since we last visit to Pizza Uno at Taipan, USJ 10. And now there is a new outlet in Bandar Puteri Puchong, which is nearer to me. I was impressed that now they have moved to the row at the back and renovated to a 3 storeys restaurant. 

Thanks to Ida for the photo shooting and our cousin sister, SY for treating us the dinner.

And here comes the food.. Yummy!! Yummy!!

My Ice Chocolate top with vanilla ice cream RM11, Cream of Mushroom RM9 and Garlic Bread (on the house, because they forgot about our fish & fries).

Our main course... Napolitana RM14 (Spaghetti in Traditional tomato sauce with herbs , vegetables and parmesan cheese), Marinara RM30 (Spaghetti & Seafood with tomato sauce),  Carbornara RM24 (Fettucine in Lightly fried beef bacon and onion in a creamy sauce), Garden Salad RM8 and Margherita Pizza RM16? (Pizza in Tomato sauce, cheese , oregano and basil). Oh! And our Fish and Fries... we waited too long and were too hungry. So Ida forgot to snap a photo of it. Haha!!

Overall, thumbs up for the meal.

However, I think their servings are a bit small, just right for small eater like me.

International Buffet Dinner at KL Tower

Seri Angkasa Revolving Restaurant @ 28 March 2009

This is my third time visiting this revolving restaurant at KL Tower. Still remember the 1st time of my dinner was in 2001 with by ex-boss and ex-colleagues. 2nd time was with my families, can't recall when was that. And my 3rd visit is perhaps my last time here. Thanks to my sis for their complimentary vouchers. This place is fully booked always, because it is flooded with tourists, we have to booked few weeks in advance in order to get a table for 2. We did not really enjoy ourselves for the food because we are busy taking photos of the beautiful night scenery outside. We have to wait for about 1 hr for a full rotating cycle. And we have difficulty shooting the photos and the floor is revolving while the isle near the window is still.

My Ratings (out of 10): 

Food and Drinks: 6 (They serve local and international cuisine, overall I would say just average)

Ambience: 10 (Need not to say, the night scenery is excellent and with live band performance)

Service: 6 (Average, we have to order few times for the coffee)

Price: 7 (Expensive, RM 135++per pax)

Family Dinner at Jun Kee Restaurant @ Taman Midah, Cheras

This restaurant was formerly same row as RHB Bank and Maybank facing Jalan Loke Yew. However, it is now moved to the row at the back, opposite to Public Bank. Very good in business especially during peak hours.

Some of the pre-ordered dishes.

Lobster combination dish, served in 2 styles, cold lobster meat with mixed fruits salad and also deep fried lobster meat roll. Yummy!!

Fish served in 2 styles - deep fried mini fish rolls and steam slices of fish with ham in soy sauce.

Very nice decoration and most important of all, it tastes good!

 Very cute little sweet dessert in shapes of gold fish, pears and oranges.

Hmm...Very satisfying after a good dinner.
