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.

Marmalade Cafe @ Bangsar Village II

Serves specialty salad, soups, pasta, scrumptious sandwiches, oriental dishes and delicious cakes and smoothies.

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!!

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

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

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

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!!

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!

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.

Kedai Kopi & Makanan Mooi Mooi @ Happy Garden

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

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

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

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.....

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???

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

Corn and tuna toast comes with Kimuchi Al Aglio Oglio Lunch Set

(choices of corn and tuna toast, tomato toast or potato salad toast)

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.

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.

Low Maji 老妈子 Restaurant @ Bandar Puteri , Puchong

My hot and spicy experience at Low Maji!

And if you are looking for a place for hot and spicy soup base steamboat. Here is another suggestion .....

Low Maji 老妈子 Restaurant @ Bandar Puteri , Puchong
Another steamboat restaurant that serves hot and spicy soup base.

Yin Yang Soup base

Ready to eat........ 1.....2..... start!!!

Fresh seafood, you can pick those in skewers and request to be grilled. The result was good! Pretty good....

More than 80 varieties of ingredients and 10 different choice of sauces and condiments.

Some said it's nice, some said it's not! Some said ingredients are fresh, some said vice versa.

My hot & spicy experience was a satisfying. Everything was alright. Price is reasonable too although less varieties compared to others but then again it's considered on par already.

Buffet price:

RM 21.00++ for adults
RM 10.00++ for children

Purple Cane Tea Restaurant 紫藤茶原@ The Gardens, Mid Valley

My third visit to this restaurant! Wonder why I have not posted any review earlier? -I lost those pics! Same goes to Delicious Cafe, D'lish Cafe... etc etc... all those pics are gone....

Purple Cane Tea Restaurant by Purple Cane Group, serves light and flavorful tea flavored dishes. Let's see....

Purple Cane Tea Restaurant @ The Gardens, Mid Valley City

Purple Cane Tea Reastaurant by Purple Cane Group a popular Malaysian Chinese tea retailer.

Lotus Root Soup 莲藕茶汤- RM 5.00
Burdock Tea Soup 牛蒡茶汤- RM 5.00
Kutzu Root Soup 粉葛茶汤- RM 5.00

Soup are served in small tea pots, to be sip from the tea cups. Clear and appetizing soup with modest trace of tea flavor in it.A nurturing dish indeed.

Green Tea Rice 绿茶饭@ RM 1.00/ bowl

Homemade Braised Bean curd in Tea Sauce 自制茶豆腐 RM 18.00

Smooth and silky bean curd topped with minced meat serve in light and tasty tea sauce. The preferred dish among all. Simple and pleasing.

Abalone Mushroom with dried chili and tea 宫保鲍鱼姑@ RM 18.00
Tasted good!

Honey Chicken 密汁茶鸡@ RM 18.00
Deep fried, crispy chicken prepared with honey, topped with sesame. Nice!

Spicy Kang Kung @ RM 10.00

The tea art concept is good, pairing tea with food is good too. Although the concept of pairing tea with food is not strongly proven- as in not being able to taste strong tea flavor in every dish, I still like the concept behind! Preparing light and flavorful dishes with tea, less oil, salt, sugar and no artificial flavoring is used.

Sense the flavor and you will find traces of tea in each dish.

Come to think about it, strong tea flavored in every dish, - what's your comment again?

Purple Cane Tea Art Restaurant has it's own typical Chinese mannerisms- worth trying!

Austin Chase @ The Gardens, Mid Valley

Coffee sounds good on a Friday! The last working day of the week.
Here's a munching session with my fellow colleagues at Austin Chase Coffee, The Gardens, Mid Valley Megamall on a Friday.

Thick, freshly brewed coffee!- comes with the lunch set. Yet to try the others.....

Tikka Chicken Sandwich with choice of coffee/ tea @ RM 12.90
The combination of hot cheese with Chicken Tikka was good and aromatic!

勘八 Kampachi @ Pavilion KL

Kampachi, a signature Japanese restaurant by Hotel Equatorial group with a widespread reputation that you can't resist!

Kampachi by Equatorial @ Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

The restaurant offers varieties of fine Japanese food selection ranging from bento set , teppan style dining, soba and udons as well as mouth watering sushi. How I wish I could stomach everything!!!

Sawara Saikyoyaki @ RM 32.00

Beautifully grilled mackerel served with rice, miso soup, chawan mushi.

Sawara refers to the king of mackerel and saikyoyaki is actually the Japanese Miso Marinade which is used as the seasoning before grilling. Great!

FYI: It is believed that grilled seafood are served with lemon to cut the oiliness.

Soba/Udon & Tendon @ RM 38.00

I have opted for soba in soup instead of cold soba. The set comes with soba, grilled salmon and rice topped with deep fried prawns and vegetables (tendon, refers to tempura rice set/bowl). Soba noodles was great!- Fine in texture ,good in taste! Enjoyed the delicately grilled salmon very much. And the rice with sticky soy sauce and deep fried succulent prawns was good too!! A pleasant choice indeed.

Fuka Hire Chawan Mushi @ RM 15.00
Steamed egg with shark fins, smooth and silky texture- absolutely delicious!

Tempura Ice Cream @ RM 15.00

I was very full by the end of the meal, but still, I wanna try this! Fried bread wrapped with a layer of mixed nuts and vanilla ice cream topped with strawberry. Hot outside, cold inside!

Too bad, no more space for sushi in my tummy. Ahhhhh............Blurp!!!

Pretty satisfying! Nice ambience, delicious and fine Japanese food.
