  • Klang Valley: Signature Cake @ Thirty 8, Grand Hyatt Hotel

    Klang Valley: Signature Cake @ Thirty 8, Grand Hyatt Hotel

    Klang Valley: Signature Cake @ Thirty 8, Grand Hyatt Hotel – KL has so many nice food place to explore! I am starting to miss the time exploring those beautiful cafe & restaurant in KL already. Although they are rather pricey, yet, I try to spend it budget-ly and experience the ambience and food fully.
    So Thirty8 @ Grand Hyatt Hotel, located just right beside of Kuala Lumpur Convention, the name seems to be very ‘atas’ high-end and it’s not overly high-end as I expected. Haha. It get a bit confusing at first because I was not welcomed by the hotel lobby once I stepped into Grand Hyatt, instead I have to take the elevator to go to 38th floor, where the real Grand Hyatt Hotel’s lobby is, pretty interesting.
    At just a level down the lobby, 37th, it’s where Thirty8 is, the hotel’s lounge. Having a 360 degree view of Kuala Lumpur, the view from here is just magnificent, and you will just in love with it. Pick a good spot, facing the Petronas Twin Towers preferably and enjoy your moment there.
    It was an afternoon for my and Clarice. I think it would be even better at night, but afternoon gets to photograph easily with plenty of natural lighting, but then night view would be stunning too.
    So, our main purpose was just to try their Thirty8 Signature Cake @ RM25 which literally is chocolate cake, but it’s more like mousse cake which is very soft. The special part of it is the presence of dry ice that create the smoking vapor effect which ‘WOW’ people. Topped with caramel and side with a banana ice cream, this dessert is very sweet! Yes, I mentioned very sweet. So beware if you are not into super-sweet dessert.
    Next time, if there’s a chance again, I would like to try their ‘Straight From The Oven Chocolate Cake, Raspberry Sorbet, Vanilla Anglaise’, which is a highly recommended cake too!

  • Klang Valley: Awesome Tiramisu @ Alexis, Bangsar Shopping Centre

    Klang Valley: Awesome Tiramisu @ Alexis, Bangsar Shopping Centre

    Klang Valley: Awesome Tiramisu @ Alexis, Bangsar Shopping Centre – I am starting to miss this tiramisu from Alexis. The world is so big that there’s so many better food out there! Before this, I always thought of China House at Penang has the best tiramisu cake, but actually not, Alexis has even better one!
    I actually get to know about it by a friend that she claimed that Alexis has a better one. This sparked my curiousity and no doubt, it is. Talking about Alexis, they serve various western cuisine, as well as fusion food too, but my visit was just for the sake of tiramisu. They have a few outlets, one at The Gardens, Mid Valley, another one is outside of Bangsar Village Mall, one is at Bangsar Shopping Centre (the one I went) and another one at Ampang.
    It’s kind of ‘atas’ to me with a nicely decorated minimalist interior and if you come at certain nights, they have relaxing jazz music accompany your meal. Pretty cool! Too bad I am already back to Penang, don’t get much chance to visit again. Hmmm!
    RM15 per piece. What’s good about the cake that it’s the sweetness is just nice and the cake is overloaded with caramel peacan which resulted the sweetness and the crunchyness of it. Cake itself is not too soft but the thing lack of is the alcohol taste. Some might not like the sweetness of it, but not me and comparing with China House, I’ll take this. Yay.
    Dear Clarice with the cake!

  • Klang Valley: Acme Bar & Coffee, Troika, Kuala Lumpur

    Klang Valley: Acme Bar & Coffee, Troika, Kuala Lumpur

    Klang Valley: Acme Bar & Coffee, Troika, Kuala Lumpur – Troika is one of my favourite building in Kuala Lumpur, designed by Foster & Partners architect and it’s standing beautifully just right across the KLCC park. It’s actually a high-end city condominium with restaurant at the mid-level sky bridge and also at the ground floor. Of course, it’s a high-end fine dining restaurant at the sky bridge on 24th floor, there’s also a bar as well as another Italian restaurant (unfortunately, only the Cantaloupe fine dining restaurant can get the best view of KLCC).
    Coming back to Acme Bar & Coffee, or ABC in short, is another restaurant at Troika, but located on the ground floor. The restaurant, of course serve western cuisine, as well as food with a fusion of localized taste and price starts from RM25. It’s rather pricey, although some accept it because of the location and interior setup of the place. Don’t expect the premise to be big, it’s actually smaller than I expected, but the raw steel and wood design, blend with English-style design actually attracted my senses quite a lot.
    Let’s talk about food. When people discusses about ABC, the first thing comes to mind must be their famous Cempadak (Jackfruit) Cake, but that’s desserts and served in the end. Of course, they have a good Smoked Buffalo Wings which we didn’t order, unfortunately. The menu’s variety is quite choice-ful and me and my friends were confused picking out our main course.
    Just Mac & Cheese – RM27.
    Angel Hair Pasta with Scallops – RM-forget.  Another interesting dish with lots of pan-fried scallop.
    Sambal Hebi Aglio Olio Spaghetti – RM31. Interesting combination of local and western taste with lots of shrimp.
    Grilled Jumbo Hot Dog – RM-forget, but I know it’s the lowest price of all and my friend said it’s good! Yes, it indeed looks good.
    Marinated Grilled Lamb Shoulder – RM-forget but it’s the priciest of all you see here. The portion is quite big which I promise a full stomach after this.
    Cempedak (Jackfruit) Cake – RM15. The famous cake of this restaurant. Truly, the taste of jackfruit is very strong and powerful which will be pleasant for jackfruit lover.  Many complains it’s overrated, but yes I still like it, but not the price.
    US! The food gang, the interior designers.

    Yes, the food is very over-priced in my opinion, but it seems to be a nice place for hangout with friends actually. Food taste is still up to standard in my tastebuds and service was pleasant. If there’s a chance, I want to go back for a breakfast as they have different menu. After all, the down point is still the price, really pricey. Bahhh.

  • Klang Valley: Three Little Pigs & The Big Bad Wolf

    Klang Valley: Three Little Pigs & The Big Bad Wolf

    Klang Valley: Three Little Pigs & The Big Bad Wolf – The pork crave still haven’t ends in me yet since the last pork meal at S.Wine, it’s not the craving for siu yok or cha siu, it’s Western version of pork dish and I want more! Last weekend, I went to this pork shop – Three Little Pigs & The Big Bad Wolf at Bangsar Village Mall (what a long name?!). Very easy to spot as it’s located just by the car park.
    I was there for a late birthday lunch with Clarice, it’s almost 3pm already, but the restaurant was really packed with people, mostly ladies! I wonder where are the guys? Almost tea time and the people just never stop walking in from the front door.
    Since it’s just two of us, we got a table pretty quickly. Without much hesitation, my order went to the two famous dishes The Wolf’s Favourite (RM27+) and also the Mighty Pork Burger (RM24+). Serving was pretty fast, surprisingly for that much people in the restaurant.
    The Wolf’s Favourite is their signature pasta which basically is carbonara enhanced with smoky pork and mushrooms, further topped up with a beautiful poached egg. It’s fragrance is good, the pork feels like bak gua to me and the combination of poached egg creates a unique carbonara experience, without the cream. It’s a little bit salty on my taste buds, but undeniably, still OK-good.
    If were to choose between the two dishes, my choice went to the Mighty Pork Burger which has a thick juicy pork patty which I still can imagine biting a mouth of it right now. Egg was just a compliment to the burger which I find it like McBreakfast egg, but still, I like the tender pork patty. Will come back again for some other pork dish!

  • Klang Valley: Banana Leaf Rice @ Sri Nirvana Maju, Bangsar

    Klang Valley: Banana Leaf Rice @ Sri Nirvana Maju, Bangsar

    Klang Valley: Banana Leaf Rice @ Sri Nirvana Maju, Bangsar – Wanted to try this for quite some times, and finally I’ve got a chance. I’ve heard quite some good reviews and seeing it always packed during lunch and dinner, the Sri Nirvana Maju Indian cuisine must be good I assumed.
    Located right opposite of Bangsar Village Mall, this little Indian restaurant serves rice on banana leaf as well as other Indian dish with a blend of local taste. I’ve read that people complained about the price went up in just a year and two, however looking at the crowds, the price increased did not shoo people away.
    Banana leaf rice was the dinner for me and my girlfriend. Each set costs RM7 and comes with rice, papadum and 3 vegetables – deep fried bittergourd, cucumbers and cabbage, as well as deep fried chillies. You can opt for 3 types of gravy to add a bit of spiciness and aroma to the rice – dalcha, chicken curry, fish curry. That’s the vegetarian meal of banana leaf rice. I find it too vegetarian and added 2 side dishes – sambal boiled egg and chicken masala.
    Everything was fine, spiciness was at a good level and the portion was just too big! Ended with a satisfaction and Clarice couldn’t finish her rice. It was indeed pricey at RM27 for 2 person, but nevertheless, it’s a good meal.
    Sit back, wait, see and enjoy your meal.

  • Klang Valley: S.Wine Cafe @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas

    Klang Valley: S.Wine Cafe @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas

    Klang Valley: S.Wine Cafe @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas – Oh pork, recently I am addicted to pork and found this nice pork restaurant at Publika, Solaris Dutamas. To be exact, it’s located in the grocery – Ben’s Independent Grocers (B.I.G.). I actually went there once but failed to eat because we were late and ended up with Namoo On The Park. Lesson learned, and I was there earlier than before!
    When you go to grocery shopping in Malaysia, normally the pork section is separated from the rest because it’s Non-Halal. Well, the S.Wine Cafe is located at the Non-Halal section and also right beside the alcohol section of B.I.G. Pretty interesting.
    Pork is the main thing there and so all the dishes were all about pork. We’ve got pork chop, pork meatball, and pork sausage wrapped with bacon. Yummeh. Food presentation and the interiors are quite nice. Taste on the other hand is heavier than Betty’s Kitchen (I prefer the gravy at Betty’s though) and what I like about is the texture of the pork, it felt nice comparing to local Chinese pork dish. Wonder what pigs do they use? Haha. Well, the price was on the high side, but given a good atmosphere and food, it justifies. S.Wine, I’m pretty much I will come back again, perhaps bring my parents for a try.
    Good food and good people. Good people of the night – Siyi, Connie, Jason, me, Henry, Hooipheng and Quenna.
    Caesar sald.
    Tomato soup.
    Mini pork sausage with bacon.
    The pork chop!
    Look at the oily part of the pork, I just can’t put that into my body! Sinful!

  • Klang Valley: Namoo On The Park, Publika

    Klang Valley: Namoo On The Park, Publika

    Klang Valley: Namoo On The Park, Publika – So many to write about in my blog, my Taiwan’s trip, some cool food in Klang Valley, my internship experience and the Miao Hui in Penang that happened last month. Stay tuned to my blog, keep reading, keep sharing, I will bring more good photos and content to you all. =)
    Few weeks back in KL, I went to Publika for dinner. The initial plan was S.Wine at B.I.G, but then when we arrived, the lady told us that the kitchen has closed! What a bad timing, and we ended up at Namoo In The Park, a contemporary Korean-Fusion restaurant with a cute name and contemporary atmosphere. I pretty much like the interiors of this little restaurant that locates on the first floor of Publika.
    Recently have been eating a lot of nice restaurant food lately, going broke but I just can’t stop myself from exploring more of them. HAHA. Talk about the food, it’s Korean Fusion, so it’s Western-Korean mix. The rice burger is uberly nice and big portion. Fish & Chips was huge too, but a little bit too standard and the famous potato cake was not my type of desserts, too sticky with a mooncake feeling.
    Afterall, not bad, can come back again. So is not bad, can come back again.

  • Klang Valley: 鸟人 Bird Man Cafe & Restaurant

    Klang Valley: 鸟人 Bird Man Cafe & Restaurant

     
    Klang Valley: 鸟人 Bird Man Cafe & Restaurant – What a funny name for a restaurant – Bird Man! The person who started the restaurant is really very ‘bird’. So jiao. During high school, I always call those playful and talk cock people as bird man. Haha. Anyway, I have 7+ months left to reside in this big city of Kuala Lumpur, so I have to explore as much as I can including Bird Man.
    Me, Jason and Henry.
    Siyi, Hooi Peng, Quenna, Connie, me, Jason & Henry.
    So, after work, I went to meet up my friends who are interns at another company for dinner at Kota Damansara and they brought me to this Bird Man. At first, I was like ‘What?! Jiao Lang? Bird Man?????’, then I saw it, it’s really a restaurant with a lame name. The owner must be a very bird bird man.
    Grilled Black Pepper Chicken Chiop.
    Shabu-shabu Beef Rice.
    Unagi Rice.
    Ramen with full boiled egg instead of half boiled tamago egg. Hmmmmm….
    My Portugese Cheese Baked Chicken Rice. =(
    Toast with Ice Cream, the only thing that looks good.
    It seems to be tempting with the tagline of ‘contemporary international dining’. The menu does indeed looks interesting ranging from Western to Asian Oriental food and it made me confuse of what to order. From the recommendation of the bird staff, I ordered my self a Portugese Cheese Baked Chicken Rice (RM12.90). Hmm, hmm, hmm, not that nice as I expected. Perhaps it’s not a good cheese and the chicken was just fried chicken. Bad choice for me. I asked my friends how their food taste like and all of them gave me a very neutral answer of OKOK-only.
    So, this Bird Man place is place that I will go for once only. Enjoyed the gather, not bird food. Blahhh. Time to sleep and thinking of where to eat in this coming days. =D Perhaps you can intro some nice food at Kota Damansara to me too?

  • Klang Valley: Seng Kee Famous Claypot Lao Shu Fen, Petaling Street

    Klang Valley: Seng Kee Famous Claypot Lao Shu Fen, Petaling Street

    Klang Valley: Seng Kee Famous Claypot Lao Shu Fen, Petaling Street – I always thought that Petaling Street is a tourist area that don’t really has good food and they are mostly target for tourists which price are high and food at a normal level. But then I am wrong, turned out that Petaling Street has a good food!
    Beng Tian
    Hock Sheng
    Blogger me.
    One of which is the Seng Kee Restaurant (胜记) which is famous for Claypot Lao Shu Fen (沙煲老鼠粉) and Roasted Pork Noodle (Siu Yok Mee 烧肉面). So on last Sunday night, I went to try it out to see how good it is. I ordered one Claypot Lou Shu Fen (RM8 – small), and a plate Siu Yok Mee (RM10 – small). Price wise is OKOK, not very high but the portion is a bit small for 3 person  Haha.
    Siu Yok Mee.
    Claypot Lao Shu Fen.
    Taste wise? The Siu Yok Mee is really good which sweet crispy roasted pork and the noodle used is the same as Wan Tan Mee (生面) with some soy sauce and garlic. I like it. On the other hand, Claypot Lao Shu Fen turned up good too with plentiful of minced meat, but yet I prefer Murni’s Claypot Lao Shu Fen.
    Nevertheless, this is a place that I will come back again. It’s a must eat at Chinatown Petaling Street of Kuala Lumpur. =)

  • Klang Valley: Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

    Klang Valley: Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie

    The exterior of Levain. Looks pretty cool.

    Klang Valley: Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie – ‘Boulangerie’ means bread shop and ‘Patisserie’ means a type of French or Belgian bakery that specializes in pastries and sweets and ‘Levain’ is the name of the restaurant/cafe/bakery that located near the very busy area of Jalan Imbi/Bukit Bintang, but then it’s hidden around that area on a row of bungalow houses.

    The restaurant.
    They are famous for macaroons!

    If you are from around KL, then you will know about Levain, but if you are like me from Penang. nevermind, let me bring you there now. I’ve heard some good reviews from my KL friends and finally I get to visit it during a lunch with my dear Clarice. It’s not very hard to find actually, but GPS leaded me there.

    Ohhh, so many cakes! So pretty!

    It looks pretty awesome inside with bakery at the entrance and sittings inside and also outside. Since it’s my first time, I don’t really know how to order, the person asked us to find a seat ourselves and that’s it. After asking again, it’s actually order your food at the counter, you can pick some pastry too, and then tell them your table number when ordering, pay it and wait your food to be served. It took me some times to do the ordering because I didn’t know what to order at first, there’s so many nice food on the menu and I want them all.

    Wahhh, OKOK-only.

    So, I ordered their famous a Spaghetti Seafood Aglio Olio (RM12.50), a Mushroom Chicken Soup (RM6.50) and a Turkey Ham & Cheese With Rice Pizza (RM18 for Large).

    I like this! Mushroom chicken soup!
    Spaghetti Seafood Aglio Olio. Yums.
    Turkey Ham & Cheese with Rice.

    Wanted to try more by stomach couldn’t take more already. I like the Mushroom Chicken Soup, it’s so creamy and the Spaghetti Seafood Aglio Olio is nice too. For the pizza, I feel so-so only, because I don’t really fancy rice on it, and not that much of meat. You maybe will like it, but not me.

    Me and Clarice.

    Clarice looking happy after the meal!

    Overall, it’s a nice place, and I’ll come back to try more, perhaps the fresh baked pastry.
