The Smoke House Restaurant & Bar @ Bangsar


Hi... I am back!! Here is an equation to explain everything:

Tired + Lazy + Sick + Busy = slow updates.

Forgive me for that!

Here is another update- The Smoke House Restaurant & Bar by SMOKEHOUSE HOTEL & RESTRAURANT CHAIN. I have always wanted to visit the outlet in Ampang but am not so sure if it is still there.

Anyway, I visited The Smoke House Restaurant at Bangsar- a restaurant that serves traditional English and Authentic Thai Cuisine ( by Chef Noi, former Head Chef of well known Rama V Restaurant).

Kung Pun Ooi @ Rm 15.00
Minced chicken and shrimp wrapped in sugarcane. Love the crispness of the bread crumbs and the tasty mixture of minced meat and shrimp with slight sweetness in the middle- a result from the sugarcane skewer.

SH_7

Pasta with roast chicken @ RM 15.00
Pasta's texture - just nice. Sauce was good too. The only not so satisfying part would be the roasted chicken chunks.

SH_8

Kao Pad Pao @ RM 15.00
Fried rice with crab meat.

SH_9

Plamuek Yang @ RM 18.00
Grilled squid served with tangy, sweet and spicy sauce. Well marinated and perfectly grilled. Love it so much- I would probably go back only for this and some beer/ wine? *Grin*

SH_20

Bombe Alaska @ RM 28.00
And lastly, a dessert to end the dining session. My long awaited for- Bombe Alaska!! Yummy!! Ice cream with nata de coco with cookies as based wrapped within the baked meringue and then fired up with rum. A satisfying flaming dessert!

Bombe Alaska

Baked Alaska also known as glace au four, omelette à la norvégienne, Norwegian omelette and omelette surprise is a dessert made of ice cream placed on top of a pie, cookies, sponge cakes or puddings. (Source from Wikipedia)

Whereelse Bombe Alaska, is another variation. Dark rums are poured over Baked Alaska with lights up . The heat turns down and the whole dessert and it is flambéed while being served.

I believe there are more to be explored in this restaurant. All looks tempting though! If you are planning for a quiet dinner or to unwind after a busy day, here's a another suggestion.

Marmalade Cafe @ Bangsar Village II


Marmalade cafe- A marvelous choice!

Purposely drove all the way to Bangsar for breakfast on a beautiful Sunday. And revisited after a week or two for dinner and cakes.

Hearty Brekkie @ RM 25.00
2 eggs, chicken sausages, beef bacom (replaced with chicken ham), baked beans, garden greens and toast.
Definitely brightens up my Sunday!!

Marmalade_9

Choice of hot coffee/ tea & fresh orange juice served with Hearty Brekkie

Marmalade_8

Cappuccino @ RM 8.00
A cup of black coffee is not enough. Here's another cuppa to add a boost.

Marmalade_10

Lebanese Wrap- Turkey Ham, Spinach & Cheese @ RM 17.00
Plenty of vege -healthy enough? A great try!

Marmalade_11

Smoked Salmon Quiche @ RM 17.00
Baked tart with combination of eggs, cream cheese, smoke salmon, onion and leek.
Crust is thick but not flaky. A little bland after a few scoop of it. Too full ??!!

Quiche

It's a French cuisine, baked dish based with pastry crust. Pastry based is baked before adding ingredients for a secondary bake. Ingredient used are normally mixture of eggs and meat/fish or vegetables.

And here comes our dessert!!

Marmalade_12

Carrot cake @ RM 11.00
Little rabbit gone mad after seeing carrot cakes displayed at the counter. My best pal fancy carrot cakes. No doubt, it's good. Love the toppings too- Nice and tangy marmalade. Thumbs up!

Marmalade_14

Blueberry Yoghurt Cake @ RM 11.00
I wanted to try the Lemon Tart but, there is only a piece left. Fussy me doesn't want the last piece and opted for Blueberry Yoghurt Cake- Another satisfying piece of cake, served with yoghurt. Portion is too big though.

Enjoyed my brekkie and dinner here!

Kedai Kopi & Makanan Mooi Mooi @ Happy Garden, Kuchai

Another quick review- Another coffee shop that I visit quite often for it's roasted pork. Be early if you would like to visit as it's always crowded.

MM_1

Kedai Kopi & Makanan Mooi Mooi @ Happy Garden

MM_3

Well marinated with salt and five spice powder and perfectly roasted with crunchy effect. Well, it explains why the coffee shop is always crowded.

MM_5

Besides roasted pork, they serve char siew (BBQ pork) too. Well seasoned and grilled with sweet with sticky sauce.

MM_4

Other than roasted pork and char siew (BBQ pork), you may opt for roasted chicken or steamed chicken as well.

MM_2

And with all of the above, it is served with a plate of aromatic rice

Remember, be early! It's always crowded.

Pasta De Gohan @ Sunway Pyramid Mall


I have been busy. These photos has been sitting in my back log for quite sometime. Here's a very short post on Pasta De Gohan. More to come.....

PDG_1

Pasta De Gohan @ Sunway Pyramid Mall
A Japanese pasta house that I have always wanted to visit and finally I did! What's the outcome???

PDG_9

Kimuchi Al Aglio Oglio Lunch Set @ RM 15.80
Just nice!

PDG_9a

Corn and tuna toast comes with Kimuchi Al Aglio Oglio Lunch Set
(choices of corn and tuna toast, tomato toast or potato salad toast)

PDG_10

Cream Potato & Bacon Set @ RM 16.80
Kinda disappointing the al-dente feel is missing. Pasta's overcooked with very soft texture. Taste wise was just alright.

PDG_10a

Tomato & Basil Gratin comes with Cream Potato & Bacon Set
(choices of Wafu Tuna Gratin, Spicy Cod Roe & Potato Gratin or Tomato & Basil Gratin)

It was a quick and not so pleasing lunch. But, I do like the looks real and tempting handcrafted replica food decoration on the wall. With all the beautiful interior and exterior design that creates much excitement to me, I was expecting a much better experience.

Try and share your experience with me- If you would like to.
