If I’m not mistaken, it has only been open for about two to three weeks and I actually think this is the soonest we’ve ever visited a place since it’s opening.</p> <p>On the same row as Kanna Curry House, it was a quiet Sunday as we turned up before 12pm (The Grind’s opening time) and took our seats in the still-empty restaurant. The Grind sounds a lot like The Daily Grind, and the decor looks a lot alike too but what makes The Grind preferable to us is that it serves pork (yay!!) and the prices are definitely a <em>lot</em> cheaper than at The Daily Grind. Less talk, more pictures!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ze6pLP0YiIE/UVFWVXLwCRI/AAAAAAAAJeQ/3sh35amCGwI/s1600-h/P1240711%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240711" border="0" alt="P1240711" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-tGdBMEu-Kt0/UVFWWJyGqqI/AAAAAAAAJeY/lwaDnljaKK4/P1240711_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-H-5OEl1DWPU/UVFWWqje3zI/AAAAAAAAJeg/CCktA6eSzFA/s1600-h/P1240708%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240708" border="0" alt="P1240708" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ur7S0uoLQPI/UVFWXLa_a3I/AAAAAAAAJeo/3iUJHHsxS4c/P1240708_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="225" height="338" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-QrSyxjobmts/UVFWXuZOpVI/AAAAAAAAJew/xbtHqWgsmOM/s1600-h/P1240710%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240710" border="0" alt="P1240710" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-nTcnNoChhF8/UVFWYOvp_II/AAAAAAAAJe4/n3-oVLSOWrU/P1240710_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="225" height="338" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-HDPXbFheXSM/UVFWY0w5pZI/AAAAAAAAJfA/GUchBzSnLnw/s1600-h/P1240704%25255B12%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240704" border="0" alt="P1240704" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OenKvcli8Q4/UVFWZFRK3wI/AAAAAAAAJfI/Ik68cAMgo7c/P1240704_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="225" height="338" /></a> <br />Vintage pin-up girls holding burgers race the brick and white walls; sauces and condiments; the empty (but not for long) seats. <br />The Grind Burger Bar is cozy, comfortable and well-lit.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-tKWse7TRswA/UVFWZxk-wCI/AAAAAAAAJfQ/pOE_0NXCiqw/s1600-h/P1240701%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240701" border="0" alt="P1240701" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-lclMzLykmuE/UVFWaYg2IPI/AAAAAAAAJfY/zJvORV76ccg/P1240701_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-fNoEDoLivzc/UVFWaxS4RzI/AAAAAAAAJfg/P2KNofaeqCQ/s1600-h/P1240717%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240717" border="0" alt="P1240717" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-9S_ZrkhonKw/UVFWbb3qrdI/AAAAAAAAJfo/CPQGE3pjXo0/P1240717_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br /><strong>The Fiery Peppercorn Burger (RM16)</strong>; pork patty with crusted peppercorns, natural cheddar, greens, onion silvers, fresh tomato and mayonnaise.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-aMN6yuNoz7s/UVFWcSwitFI/AAAAAAAAJfw/0FqJV6YO1Lo/s1600-h/P1240721%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240721" border="0" alt="P1240721" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-KEIUeQGmdyQ/UVFWcy80HSI/AAAAAAAAJf4/TTV8wSSa-yw/P1240721_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8F7dPVlOK_M/UVFWdU5xz7I/AAAAAAAAJgA/9pOrjpWxUN8/s1600-h/P1240730%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240730" border="0" alt="P1240730" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-p3K1T1Go0zQ/UVFWeHf4_bI/AAAAAAAAJgI/ILFq8xbyYdc/P1240730_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a> <br />All-pork patty encrusted in pepper.

Located on a corner lot of 8333 Santa Monica Boulevard, Basix’s menu boasts a large selection of breakfast offerings, from power breakfasts to muffins and buttermilk pancakes. The lunch menu is extensive as well, with interesting sounding pizzas, sandwiches and pastas. </p> <p>We arrived at the Cafe at around 12.30pm and already the inside was packed to the brim. Luckily for al fresco seating and for outdoor heaters as the chilly wind almost froze our socks off. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-QFCDOTLMZAM/UUaqTxjWr2I/AAAAAAAAJao/nPQnxPZxKpo/s1600-h/P12301055.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1230105" border="0" alt="P1230105" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-axxftornUbM/UUaqUlPfy7I/AAAAAAAAJaw/PhkuMp5ePGQ/P1230105_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a> <br />The <strong>Tuscan Tomato Bread Soup (US$6.50 per bowl)</strong> was a slow-simmered thick broth with ripe tomatoes, basil, rosemary croutons and a parmesan cheese crisp.

For me, the best ramen I’ve tried so far still remains as <a href="http://gluttonssquare.blogspot.com/2011/08/ronnycakes-and-wils-reviews-hokkaido.html">Santouka</a>, but I think I’ve finally met another bowl of ramen that could definitely give Santouka a run for it’s money. </p> <p>Ippudo originated in 1985 from Fukuoka Japan, and claims that they were the first to refer to broth by colour which soon became a standard industry practice (as seen in <a href="http://gluttonssquare.blogspot.com/2012/06/ronnycakes-reviews-menya-musashi-1u.html">Menya Musashi</a> as well). The Shiromaru and Akamaru style of broth are still considered as Ippudo’s signature ramen. Ippudo has since expanded all over the world to Sydney, New York, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Sydney and Singapore. The founder of Ippudo, Shigemia Kawahara is no small fry either as he is considered Japan’s “Ramen King”, winning the title in a competition in 2005. As for Ippudo, it has won Tokyo’s Ramen of the Year Award for 2010-2011 and even Santouka Ramen was opened by one of his disciples. </p> <p>With all that, how can I not be excited to try it out myself?</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sM7D5FYlY-U/UTa9ibBckiI/AAAAAAAAJVY/k_RpKsCpFLY/s1600-h/P1240559%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240559" border="0" alt="P1240559" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-i0u4vhccmkE/UTa9jMXMmtI/AAAAAAAAJVg/5qdfaf8DuAA/P1240559_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="left">We went early to skip the queue, but even at 11.30am, the shop was already almost packed to the brim, and as we left the place, we saw a queue slowly starting to form.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-jBtdTPnb0uQ/UTa9j0ieWaI/AAAAAAAAJVo/0elzn2Vd7F8/s1600-h/P1240591%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240591" border="0" alt="P1240591" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-yFSW_iQ_aFE/UTa9k9hT4HI/AAAAAAAAJVw/31ljkxMTpGk/P1240591_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />The interior design is of spotlights and wooden fixtures, with white-black-red being their main colour scheme.

Deep-fried spring rolls with a crispy exterior and soft curry-cheesy interior. One thing definitely worth mentioning about Ippudo is that unlike the other ramen chains that make ramen the sole offering of the menu (with the exception of rice or other generic Japanese dishes), Ippudo actually has a very extended side dish menu varying from fried corn to miso tofu in a stone pot.

I found the soup to be lovely and flavourful and somewhat lighter than the one at Santouka. Another plus point at Ippudo is that they let the diner decide how cooked they want the ramen to be. That’s definitely something my mum would appreciate because she always complains that Santouka’s ramen is too undercooked.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-eWJI5C2D0HI/UTa9qT4-4oI/AAAAAAAAJWY/8vkrEdsDS1w/s1600-h/P1240571%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240571" border="0" alt="P1240571" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cLEiWKOPjyk/UTa9rNZP8iI/AAAAAAAAJWg/qVO9c_WkQek/P1240571_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/--vF363IYOpc/UTa9r0Yw7bI/AAAAAAAAJWo/ok-yLXpdb3U/s1600-h/P1240577%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1240577" border="0" alt="P1240577" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-O21dW55dS3I/UTa9u0mB_MI/AAAAAAAAJWw/hmJeUKqhCLE/P1240577_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a> <br />Wils had the <strong>Karaka Tamago (RM30)</strong>; which is tonkotsu broth flavoured with special spicy miso and ground pork with a flavoured egg.

It’s been 10 years since my last plane trip and I’ve never travelled further than South East Asia before, so the long-haul flight and 16 hour time difference was especially hard on me. The first few days I looked absolutely horrifying in photos because I was so god darned tired. XD</p> <p>Anywayyyyy, I only have one word to summarize our trip: FUN! :D <br />Especially Disneyland... gosh, it’s like my idea of heaven. I know, I know, I sound like an absolute child. But really, I had such great time. The rides were awesome, the “cast members” were ultra polite, and everything was super whimsy and vintage and old-school Mickey. </p> <p>Food there was pretty expensive though, but on our last night at Disneyland Park, Wils and I decided to splurge and have a meal at one of the park restaurants, and we went for Carnation Cafe which has made a name for itself for serving honest American fare at prices that are not too cut-throat (for American standards that is). </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-f1YbBaOTrzs/UPz34-ZyamI/AAAAAAAAJME/lZgRDBmm8yY/s1600-h/P1210815%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1210815" border="0" alt="P1210815" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-jcmd3Jrt-Nc/UPz35mc0c6I/AAAAAAAAJMI/eyC_6QowdUw/P1210815_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />I had a <strong>Warm Spinach Salad with Grilled Chicken (USD14.99)</strong>, Grilled Chicken, Spinach, Boiled Eggs, Sauteed Shiitake Mushrooms, and Pickled Onions tossed with Warm Pancetta-Mustard Seed Vinaigrette. <br />One thing good about the USA is that all portions are at least twice the size of the ones you get here in KL. Salads over here would hardly be enough for a <em>snack</em> let alone a meal. So anyway, this warm spinach salad was one of the best salads I had over there... it was such a change from the generic romaine lettuce, and the dressing was tangy and savoury.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-R5JrWWIXnbw/UPz37R_A16I/AAAAAAAAJMU/gqZzuxGHO4w/s1600-h/P1210811%25255B12%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1210811" border="0" alt="P1210811" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-7ofA3YSbCxY/UPz38aNmXzI/AAAAAAAAJMY/8PjzgAsAKsY/P1210811_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-NIUxR46g6XU/UPz39GhHXVI/AAAAAAAAJMg/9Pr0Es6OGmQ/s1600-h/P1210823%25255B10%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1210823" border="0" alt="P1210823" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jlJyASwBN8A/UPz3-M-x_8I/AAAAAAAAJMs/c8L5tJ-H-Gk/P1210823_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-7A_ZvcA2Oo4/UPz4AEHGHUI/AAAAAAAAJM0/ltFVCXo_T_M/s1600-h/P1210818-2%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1210818-2" border="0" alt="P1210818-2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_zTVbiBG5Ew/UPz4A6POecI/AAAAAAAAJM4/ogNl7BkItPI/P1210818-2_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-XNW8u2LWxWA/UPz4BomEDyI/AAAAAAAAJNA/C_mHuWpfQSg/s1600-h/P1210821-2%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1210821-2" border="0" alt="P1210821-2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Zh7LgIFzvso/UPz4CpjTk-I/AAAAAAAAJNI/IZj5qHjJVpo/P1210821-2_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />Wils had his <strong>Main Street Cheeseburger (USD11.99)</strong>: Angus Chuck Patty, Tillamook Cheddar, Tomato, Red Onion, Lettuce and House Sauce on Toasted Brioche.

But since Wils and I will be jetting off to LA next week, better save our stomachs (and our pockets) by spending over there instead. :D</p> <p>I recall saying that macarons were probably not my most preferable sweet but recently by some mysterious power I’ve found myself <em>slightly</em> addicted to them... maybe because I just haven’t managed to find good ones in the past. After spotting these Crumbs x Luxbite macarons on Facebook, I immediately had to have Wils get me a box because they were just too damn adorable.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-VDwbqDo5M9I/UMbacWXjLFI/AAAAAAAAJH8/0eb9ZspJS1k/s1600-h/P1200681%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1200681" border="0" alt="P1200681" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_XjPH_NZMJw/UMbadYKSkSI/AAAAAAAAJIA/m-Q4pXziYo0/P1200681_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="left">The super adorable Teddy and Santa macarons are 100% handpiped (!!!) and designed by Aleena from Crumbs, whilst the two conventional looking ones are imported from Luxbite Melbourne and are anything but conventional in taste.

The lo mai kai there is savoury and best of all, super juicy; none of that crappy dry generic lo mai kai you get at other places. But I digress.</p> <p>On recommendation from vkeong, we headed over to Min Huang one afternoon; a little skeptical about the place because surprisingly on a Saturday afternoon, there were hardly any cars around and parking was aplenty.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YDtGSBdcYv0/ULxxHRISFwI/AAAAAAAAJDg/scR-xB4LdVU/s1600-h/P1180428%25255B14%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180428" border="0" alt="P1180428" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-dKUy9wmcsr0/ULxxIW0Z7aI/AAAAAAAAJDo/htSiMnlJsy8/P1180428_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Min Huang’s <strong>Steam Dumpling with Shrimp Roe (RM3.80 per basket) </strong>was springy, yummy and full of prawn meat, albeit being truly bite-sized and a bit small for our appetites. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ja1SApZn_xE/ULxxJa4be_I/AAAAAAAAJDw/Zhe52vfOlvs/s1600-h/P1180390%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180390" border="0" alt="P1180390" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ht3tedfu3pQ/ULxxKd4M55I/AAAAAAAAJD0/wqB3l2euxHU/P1180390_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a> <br />The <strong>Pan-fried Yam Cake (RM3.80 per portion)</strong>, crispy and savoury and full of dried shrimp.  </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-41y4yZyQugw/ULxxLca1EJI/AAAAAAAAJEA/nHtkP3VaNSo/s1600-h/P1180393%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180393" border="0" alt="P1180393" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8uhrdNVGxfM/ULxxMYusYjI/AAAAAAAAJEE/1r4SF5YXjog/P1180393_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-mzxDVTkWnTA/ULxxNQ-RzII/AAAAAAAAJEQ/UIMkgnz9CrY/s1600-h/P1180412%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180412" border="0" alt="P1180412" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-P98taUUMkUk/ULxxOTPJAoI/AAAAAAAAJEU/XCLhnevKHAQ/P1180412_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-S_Ho1xgsVHI/ULxxPQbhYII/AAAAAAAAJEg/nCAzhK8A-Ps/s1600-h/P1180402%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180402" border="0" alt="P1180402" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_5xhcCfY3Dc/ULxxQjXuzKI/AAAAAAAAJEo/4M1l0OBFEVM/P1180402_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />One of the recommended dishes at Min Huang was this <strong>Shanghai Special Fried Bean Sheet (RM6.80)</strong> which is very similar to kuey teow except that it’s more translucent, a little stickier and chewier.

This <strong>Shanghai Steamed Herbal Dumpling (RM7.20) </strong>was full of herbal soup (a nice twist to a classic dim sum dish) and just super good.

I’ve definitely had better porridge elsewhere. </p> <p>Min Huang has firmly planted itself on our list of dim sum haunts, and plus the fact that it’s relatively nearer (Kepong) and prices are not super steep, AND the food is yummy. You really have to come and try it for yourself! <br />Relatively few bloggers have blogged about this place yet so if it’s your first time hearing about it, don’t hesitate to go and have a taste of their dim sum because most of the offerings on their menu are seriously yummy. Stay away from the porridge though unless you <em>must</em> have porridge to go with your dim sum. Ramen and other fried rice dishes are also served but we haven’t tried those yet, so that’s another thing to add to the list!</p> <p>Address: <br /><strong>Min Huang Restaurant <br />12, Jalan Metro Perdana Barat 3, <br />Taman Usahawan Kepong</strong></p> <p>Map *<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Min+Huang+Restaurant+Jalan+Metro+Perdana+Barat+Kuala+Lumpur+Federal+Territory+of+Kuala+Lumpur+Malaysia&hl=en&ll=3.214688,101.639757&spn=0.011055,0.021136&sll=4.18646,109.48935&sspn=11.398212,21.643066&oq=min+huang&t=h&hq=Min+Huang+Restaurant&hnear=Jalan+Metro+Perdana+Barat,+Kuala+Lumpur,+Wilayah+Persekutuan+Kuala+Lumpur,+Malaysia&z=16">here</a>*</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-MyMgipIzMno/ULxxfPiSYlI/AAAAAAAAJGM/rqmZjL2GViU/s1600-h/gf1banner%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="gf1banner" border="0" alt="gf1banner" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-qn6YSZS1IDc/ULxxf5u0OBI/AAAAAAAAJGU/rmoFRH6DC2k/gf1banner_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="240" height="54" /></a></p> Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07449221272745245636noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648315243668830199.post-92105995676319755032012-11-28T17:36:00.001+08:002012-11-28T20:16:59.011+08:00ronnycakes reviews: Barn BBQ, Bangsar Village<p>Today when I opened up this blog to take a look at it, I swear I saw some dust blow off my keyboard. It has been <em>that</em> long since we updated this space, and been quite a long while since we’ve actually stepped out of the house to actively seek for new eateries *hangs head in shame*. I’ve recently been bitten by the baking bug and spend almost every weekend at home dressed in oversized shirts and shorts (like a true housewife-in-training) baking up a storm. Soon I’ll share my results and these recipes on this blog too! :D</p> <p>I think I’ve found my new favourite place for value-for-money gourmet sausages. Barn BBQ is a deli and grilled meats restaurant that is right next to Ben’s General Food Store in BV, and brings with it some deli items that are similar to those at BGFS but a wider variety. On the opposite side of the deli is a fridge chock full of sausages, steaks, lamb shanks that are grilled fresh to order. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-7dQvqXk1KJU/ULXaHG-5jKI/AAAAAAAAI5w/hCJHdegPyDE/s1600-h/P1200225%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

The first time I went, I had the <strong>Chicken Cheese Krainer</strong> and <strong>Dynamite Chicken</strong>. Barn BBQ serves their sausages by grams, and all varieties of sausages on the menu (be it lamb, beef, chicken) are priced at RM8 per 100g. Minimum order is 200g, and 200g roughly gives you about 4 sausages take or leave a few grams. <br />The star of the show for me was definitely the Chicken Dynamite, which I found deliciously spicy and flavorful and grilled to perfection.

My personal recommendation would be to try the sausages (especially the Chicken Dynamite one) but stay away from the more generic chicken sausages as they tend to be average (downsides of not eating beef or lamb). A 3rd return trip is definitely on the cards to try their burgers and more of their deli items. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-MiVsDOViNkE/ULXa9TVjJiI/AAAAAAAAI_g/VUHpL0syDNY/s1600-h/P1200250%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1200250" border="0" alt="P1200250" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-JVkQJHIPgYk/ULXa-IX_L8I/AAAAAAAAI_o/Y7otetQOn9w/P1200250_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p>Address: <br /><strong>Barn BBQ <br />G17 & 18, Ground Floor, <br />Bangsar Village 1, <br />No. 1, Jalan Telawi Satu, Bangsar Baru <br />59100 Kuala Lumpur</strong></p> <p>Map *<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Bangsar+Village+II+Kuala+Lumpur+Federal+Territory+of+Kuala+Lumpur+Malaysia&hl=en&ll=3.130832,101.671343&spn=0.022111,0.042272&sll=4.18646,109.48935&sspn=11.398212,21.643066&oq=bangsar+village&t=h&hq=Bangsar+Village+II+Kuala+Lumpur+Federal+Territory+of+Kuala+Lumpur+Malaysia&z=15">here</a>*</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-VYWjeR-zP2o/ULXa_eqYsAI/AAAAAAAAI_s/m5pFtZx3TcU/s1600-h/gf1banner%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="gf1banner" border="0" alt="gf1banner" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-nCm1zkkDuNk/ULXbAL3yQkI/AAAAAAAAI_4/xfErkL7eZCU/gf1banner_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="240" height="54" /></a></p> Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07449221272745245636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648315243668830199.post-31316992432968666912012-09-13T16:01:00.001+08:002012-09-13T16:11:21.407+08:00ronnycakes revisits: Wondermama, Bangsar Village I<p>Remember we said that we would be highly anticipating Wondermama’s new additions to the menu in <a href="http://gluttonssquare.blogspot.com/2012/08/ronnycakes-reviews-wondermama-bangsar.html">our last post</a>? So on a night where Wils was craving for burger, Wondermama popped into our mind and we became curious how they would give the classic burgers a twist with their fusion concept.</p> <p>The day that we went over, Wondermama had already introduced two new burgers into their menu; the Prawn Katsu Burger and the Kimchi Beef Burger (sounds super unique right!), but sadly the kimchi burger wasn’t available so we opted for the prawn one. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-VYQjTRLdNDg/UFGSYowRZrI/AAAAAAAAI1M/SM_ThE5kk2g/s1600-h/P1190195%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190195" border="0" alt="P1190195" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-xXddoYzfk7U/UFGSaGKL1dI/AAAAAAAAI1U/Z8DSXtB4PQY/P1190195_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-N7z1LW18p28/UFGScElE7hI/AAAAAAAAI1c/ekJ4RMRSm4U/s1600-h/P1190209%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190209" border="0" alt="P1190209" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-7hI2XQc9QQk/UFGSedXcS0I/AAAAAAAAI1k/u11vVUTXJ_8/P1190209_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />The <strong>Prawn Katsu Burger (RM15)</strong> combines Asian and Western together, with fresh crispy deep fried prawns with a hint of tartar sauce on a sesame bean bun. We opted for potato salad instead of fries to go with our burger, and the burger also came with a small serving of sautéed mushrooms. It was no doubt delicious, but a little on the small side for our appetites. :p</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wZPfmz0VqfQ/UFGSfvgPuuI/AAAAAAAAI1s/lceHRyCibJI/s1600-h/P1190207%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190207" border="0" alt="P1190207" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-IYYd30QAMu4/UFGSg6tqxeI/AAAAAAAAI10/h5ERIhHlnAg/P1190207_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-by1KJ1_pN4w/UFGSiEc2QfI/AAAAAAAAI18/KRPqZBCXxZY/s1600-h/P1190203%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190203" border="0" alt="P1190203" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-WGCB6IC3fdY/UFGSjYTUl2I/AAAAAAAAI2E/q7sqqJoeRoU/P1190203_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Potato salad with croutons!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-rjlfYwViW5k/UFGSkw1LyUI/AAAAAAAAI2M/n_bxJAhbprQ/s1600-h/P1190231%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190231" border="0" alt="P1190231" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BO6Qef6dtWY/UFGSl_MEQyI/AAAAAAAAI2U/xNdX-y9T-h0/P1190231_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-cyv_6ScP_FM/UFGSn7nzxOI/AAAAAAAAI2c/33_kA7DWdjE/s1600-h/P1190225%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190225" border="0" alt="P1190225" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-s7Z2Pr43lTA/UFGSpArtYxI/AAAAAAAAI2k/t2iFq0-gfcA/P1190225_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a> <br />We were given the chance to try this <strong>Clam Vongole</strong> before it was introduced on the menu.

What makes this stand out is the inclusion of deep-fried soft shell crab as a substitute for the classic fried chicken, and this Japanese-Malaysian twist works! Loved it.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-eKEHO0LIR_k/UFGSwKZhweI/AAAAAAAAI3M/KehzWnUMmHI/s1600-h/P1190213%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190213" border="0" alt="P1190213" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-BR61VftQ_ss/UFGSxcUz8iI/AAAAAAAAI3U/Byib5uVdsxk/P1190213_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-dz81kSbNNxA/UFGSyj_JbJI/AAAAAAAAI3c/sErAUlH5S4k/s1600-h/P1190219%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190219" border="0" alt="P1190219" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-CNr-prqckXQ/UFGSz2sNbBI/AAAAAAAAI3k/_2l8RtqUom0/P1190219_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-GJAKGrsLmas/UFGS02uvpxI/AAAAAAAAI3s/vtEWiXgSJdI/s1600-h/P1190245%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190245" border="0" alt="P1190245" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-aVKeHE88EKg/UFGS2sRtOOI/AAAAAAAAI30/kxXgfErHXQA/P1190245_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Kk0N-kzvAVk/UFGS4OM5CII/AAAAAAAAI38/4nmtqUxYk-c/s1600-h/P1190247%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190247" border="0" alt="P1190247" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-WBCLViVJBso/UFGS5S6bmTI/AAAAAAAAI4E/wtdW5miFh9M/P1190247_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />To wrap up another great meal, we had this <strong>Chocolate Ice-cream with Beef Bacon</strong>.

Okomen at Desa Sri Hartamas is a Japanese eatery that specialises in okonomiyaki and according to the owner Alan (who also prepared all the food for us), Okomen was <em>the</em> first restaurant in Malaysia to bring okonomiyaki into the country. </p> <p>Located in a fairly secluded nook of Desa Sri Hartamas (the row of shops behind the Desa Sri Hartamas Maybank), business was good on a Sunday night that was otherwise very quiet in the area. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-1IJKQmOi0sg/UE2s-gAlZVI/AAAAAAAAIpc/Kq5mYQy9F_M/s1600-h/DSC_0042%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0042" border="0" alt="DSC_0042" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-VE1OyobK7iE/UE2s_sSrrjI/AAAAAAAAIpg/faSK4EOZk3s/DSC_0042_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="431" /></a> <br />This is Okomen’s signature dish, the <strong>Tori Oko (RM15.80)</strong>. The last time I had okonomiyaki was more than 5 years ago, and the one that I had had a forgettable taste, but this one from Okomen was really good. Pieces of sliced pork with egg, onions and the delicious mix of sweet sauce and mayonnaise, it was a wonderful start to the meal. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-MsTVxuE3DvA/UE2tAs_lGtI/AAAAAAAAIps/q1nI8zegQnw/s1600-h/DSC_0044%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0044" border="0" alt="DSC_0044" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ZCEug-uX29Y/UE2tBvpgeOI/AAAAAAAAIp0/-HbRaN8e494/DSC_0044_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="528" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-N0tJr25Mz2E/UE2tDooJDrI/AAAAAAAAIp8/mOl2qOckzsM/s1600-h/DSC_0045%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0045" border="0" alt="DSC_0045" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9WeNH_arz54/UE2tEiBjcHI/AAAAAAAAIqE/vLND-kOdlTM/DSC_0045_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="528" /></a> <br />You should sprinkle some bonito flakes on top of your okonomiyaki before eating it as the dried fish flakes add more flavour. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-SE_ZZh3Eyoc/UE2tF61tkJI/AAAAAAAAIqM/g8XrwpPxTd0/s1600-h/DSC_0088%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0088" border="0" alt="DSC_0088" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-MoT-rZIsjKA/UE2tGyS9QwI/AAAAAAAAIqU/OHoAZpGk_K4/DSC_0088_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="431" /></a> <br />Okomen provides a nice pictorial guide on how to eat your okonomiyaki on every table. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-38KOdoUN-uc/UE2tHy9Ed8I/AAAAAAAAIqc/mXAgWhDU7L0/s1600-h/P1190356%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190356" border="0" alt="P1190356" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bb8QVJWiaic/UE2tJH1UITI/AAAAAAAAIqk/njx3rz1CjEE/P1190356_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-qtJVQ1XKJF4/UE2tKJvEhKI/AAAAAAAAIqs/O7rlMkiB5ug/s1600-h/DSC_0070%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0070" border="0" alt="DSC_0070" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/--LC59-5j2EE/UE2tLGHNtnI/AAAAAAAAIqw/yN2jmoYTxpc/DSC_0070_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="347" height="525" /></a> <br />Next was the <strong>Omu Tori Yaki Soba (RM13.80)</strong>, with a filling of fried Soba Noodles.

I especially love the intensity of the curry leaves.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-56Gn02ovp_k/UEWl3XYWg3I/AAAAAAAAInk/XOQIE-b0ziU/s1600-h/P1190300%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190300" border="0" alt="P1190300" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-U8B4opVuzX4/UEWl5A8oI-I/AAAAAAAAIno/nLxNYHHKhtQ/P1190300_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="left">All in all there were a few hits and misses at dinner, but all the seafood was very fresh. On the downside, food at Bali Hai is not what you would call cheap (the meal cost about RM1000 for 9 people) and the captain gave us a larger portion of prawns than she should have due to the amount of other dishes that we ordered. Maybe I’ll go back just for the fried chicken wings. :p</p> <p align="left">Address: <br /><strong>Sunsuria Avenue,  Persiaran Mahogani <br />Kota Damansara PJU5 <br />47810 Petaling Jaya <br />Selangor</strong> <br />(nearby the Tune Hotel in Kota Damansara)</p> <p>Map *<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=bali+hai+kota+damansara&hl=en&ll=3.154909,101.590812&spn=0.002769,0.004823&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.41771,79.013672&t=h&hq=bali+hai+kota+damansara&radius=15000&z=18&iwloc=A">here</a>*</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-sKT0SD6wz9I/UEWl51ZZLDI/AAAAAAAAInw/iXCbIlTSJ6g/s1600-h/gf1banner%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="gf1banner" border="0" alt="gf1banner" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-EwPTvALcnEw/UEWl6lwaXgI/AAAAAAAAIn4/HITvB4jHE8E/gf1banner_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="240" height="54" /></a></p> Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07449221272745245636noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648315243668830199.post-37714697539180193252012-08-30T15:12:00.001+08:002012-08-30T15:12:40.550+08:00ronnycakes reviews: Ramen Taiko, Mon’t Kiara Shoplex<p>It’s been a while since I’ve last reviewed a ramen place, and this one has been sitting in my files for quite some time. Having lived in Mon’t Kiara for more than 10 years, there are still some places that have been around for a long time which I still haven’t tried, and one of these is Ramen Taiko. Located in a rather quiet corner inside Mon’t Kiara Shoplex (for those that are unfamiliar with the names, Mon’t Kiara Shoplex is where Baskin Robbins and Las Vacas is located), Ramen Taiko specializes mostly in ramen but offers a variety of other Japanese dishes as well. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Jqceif7LMGI/UD8SJx9CwGI/AAAAAAAAIiQ/Ei4d2k5PVNM/s1600-h/P11509605.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1150960" border="0" alt="P1150960" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-FyqPxO3gWiM/UD8SLO_SziI/AAAAAAAAIiY/lVHuzazy59c/P1150960_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-P7eIU-6tIZI/UD8SME-fbQI/AAAAAAAAIig/kMc1JQLAcRA/s1600-h/P11509725.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1150972" border="0" alt="P1150972" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-bNGUeiE7VyM/UD8SNNUzgEI/AAAAAAAAIio/gGvMitL8fA8/P1150972_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />I had the <strong>Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen Set (RM19.80++)</strong> which came with free flow tea and 3 pcs of gyoza. Whilst no ramen will ever beat <a href="http://gluttonssquare.blogspot.com/2011/08/ronnycakes-and-wils-reviews-hokkaido.html">Santouka</a> in my books, Ramen Taiko’s serving was pleasantly tasty, with a soup that was rich, milky and savoury from the pork bone broth. Definitely something I would recommend.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-AO_ZWm5NF4U/UD8SOBJGfGI/AAAAAAAAIiw/BTjyv2X1mmA/s1600-h/P1150976%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1150976" border="0" alt="P1150976" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Q9bnA-sGhX0/UD8SPYTrPKI/AAAAAAAAIi4/-vcOEekHXu4/P1150976_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a> <br />Favourite candy egg!

On my list of tastiest ramens, I think Ramen Taiko can take the 3rd or 4th spot. Do note, prices are a bit steep if you don’t order a set lunch, and set lunches change every month.</p> <p align="left">Address: <br /><strong>5-0-2B, <br />Mont Kiara Shoplex, <br />Jalan Kiara, KL  50480</strong></p> <p align="left">Map *<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Ramen+Taiko+Japanese+Cuisine+Malaysia&hl=en&ll=3.166183,101.652771&spn=0.002962,0.004823&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.41771,79.013672&oq=ramen+taiko&t=h&hq=Ramen+Taiko+Japanese+Cuisine&hnear=Malaysia&z=18">here</a>*</p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-psCrZmw7gx4/UD8SWqX0QFI/AAAAAAAAIjs/5jqtTGxwWMk/s1600-h/gf1banner%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="gf1banner" border="0" alt="gf1banner" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-PSwhbLDQwBw/UD8SYOj9obI/AAAAAAAAIj4/amlhzDZWX0M/gf1banner_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="240" height="54" /></a></p> Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07449221272745245636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648315243668830199.post-42841316512957917562012-08-22T16:03:00.001+08:002012-09-13T17:04:14.884+08:00ronnycakes reviews: Kungfu Paradise, Paradigm Mall<p>If you’re looking for a casual dining spot with affordable food to hang out and linger at, Kungfu Paradise may be somewhere you should add to your list.

I didn’t have enough space in my stomach or the time to try the gelato on that day but I vowed (to Wils) that we would come back another time if only <em>just</em> to try the gelato. </p> <p align="left">Cielo (pronounced ceh-lo) means heaven/sky in Italian and Dolci comes from “dolce freddo artigianale” which means artisinal frozen desserts. The owners were inspired by gelato in Italian and according to their <a href="http://cielodolci.com/about.php">website</a> (beautifully whimsical as well!), their gelato makers were professionally trained in Italy so you’re getting 100% authentic Italian gelato. Cielo Dolci also educates us on it’s website that gelato is worlds apart from ice-cream, mainly that gelato has a cloud-like smooth quality and more intense flavours as compared to ice-cream.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-aYKik06EyfI/UCyXRYY2hFI/AAAAAAAAIVM/sgZPb-zOUi8/s1600-h/P1190015%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190015" border="0" alt="P1190015" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-uDIbniJG1Qw/UCyXR5MbkfI/AAAAAAAAIVU/ert4f0j4d5A/P1190015_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Beautifully illustrated gelato cups.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ZVGHTneYR8Y/UCyXSrFb-II/AAAAAAAAIVc/iTLFo1PPxLk/s1600-h/P1190004%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190004" border="0" alt="P1190004" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-UveutkY9TYA/UCyXTgtNCSI/AAAAAAAAIVk/IQc5jOjeTc0/P1190004_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-wgRkL81kha0/UCyXUYqwkBI/AAAAAAAAIVs/2UHd3M3-KJ0/s1600-h/P1190001%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190001" border="0" alt="P1190001" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ek6cI6xtVUs/UCyXVCnH8yI/AAAAAAAAIV0/h94azDmPgUs/P1190001_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Gelato galore!

What sets Cielo Dolci apart from some of the other gelato places is that you can taste the ingredients in your gelato. In other words, the hazelnut gelato and hazelnut bits whilst the vanilla one had speckles of vanilla beans. Super yum and value for money. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-rI0PsEbuRnU/UCyXinJItII/AAAAAAAAIX8/qHnojxSiGR0/s1600-h/P1190023%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190023" border="0" alt="P1190023" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bVaEidlouuc/UCyXjPUF79I/AAAAAAAAIYE/U884n7eCsb4/P1190023_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a></p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-sss7WmaUBHA/UCyhMpyWl8I/AAAAAAAAIZw/L3n2Z_LWkyk/s1600-h/page%25255B5%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="page" border="0" alt="page" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-FPhxohiFmb8/UCyhNw9OmoI/AAAAAAAAIZ4/VzQxBk_SnHY/page_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="648" height="402" /></a> <br />There’s a story behind the drawings on the cups!  <br />Now isn’t that beautiful. :)</p> <p align="left">Address: <br /><strong>Paradigm Mall, Level LG-Lot 50, <br />1, Jalan SS7/26A, Kelana Jaya, <br />47301 Petaling Jaya</strong></p> <p align="left">Map *<a href="https://maps.google.com.my/maps?q=paradigm+mall+kelana+jaya&hl=en&ll=3.105474,101.595774&spn=0.002962,0.004823&sll=3.130000,101.680000&sspn=0.380000,0.620000&t=h&start=0&hq=paradigm+mall+kelana+jaya&z=18&iwloc=A">here</a>*</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-VpxOxGgaJEM/UCyXjkRaGNI/AAAAAAAAIYM/zDXHAEoefpk/s1600-h/gf1banner%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="gf1banner" border="0" alt="gf1banner" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-glUm5B2ttVY/UCyXk79n6aI/AAAAAAAAIYU/JQ6SyQOsMBI/gf1banner_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="240" height="54" /></a></p> Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07449221272745245636noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648315243668830199.post-43824194405215604942012-08-13T17:41:00.001+08:002012-08-13T17:45:18.240+08:00ronnycakes @ Taman Tun Dr Ismail Ramadan Bazaar<p>This whole Ramadan season, we haven’t been to a single bazaar because we’ve either been too busy or it just keeps skipping our mind. After reading posts on Ramadan bazaars by boolicious and vkeong, we figured it was high time to get to one before they all disappear (Raya is just this end of the week!). One of Wils’ favourite bazaars to visit is the one at TTDI, which stretches along Jln Mohd Faud 2 daily from 4pm onwards. Since we went on a Friday, it merged with the pasar malam that usually sets up at the TTDI so there were fruits, clothes and knick-knacks on sale too. </p> <p>One thing about bazaars is it brings out the inner greedy in us. The spread of stalls and food galore reminds us so much of a buffet and we just walk along the stalls and point “I want this, that, this, that”. I basically just pointed in all directions until it seemed as though we had overbought… XD</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-i2WI1_rje3o/UCjMJA2qa2I/AAAAAAAAIUA/eOwMO3xPnMY/s1600-h/P1190152%25255B15%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190152" border="0" alt="P1190152" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-xUz9afjutvI/UCjMJ3o27uI/AAAAAAAAIUI/sH8ylAGWTHM/P1190152_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a> <br />Beautiful looking percik wings.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-xh34rBv-qag/UCjK6STntYI/AAAAAAAAIKw/2eYqmx2gAUs/s1600-h/P1190110%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190110" border="0" alt="P1190110" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DU8EEKICoz4/UCjK69_f7kI/AAAAAAAAIK4/uqQe1EON64A/P1190110_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Raja Murtabak (RM3 for biasa, RM7 for special) wrapping up some sizzling murtabak. <br />I got too close to one of these and ended up with a flying speck of oil on my thigh. :(</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-_Zg251cbj-A/UCjK7U79sLI/AAAAAAAAILA/sGfrJc7beYY/s1600-h/P1190113%25255B15%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190113" border="0" alt="P1190113" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-iydvQXOPUEI/UCjK8KgyIrI/AAAAAAAAILI/Ep-rYGKoumk/P1190113_thumb%25255B9%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a>  <br />Murtabaks galore in beef and chicken!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-XYhnUVTEu_U/UCjK8jGBh9I/AAAAAAAAILQ/O62jLf8llG8/s1600-h/P1190086%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190086" border="0" alt="P1190086" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-tk8_5Ds26fY/UCjK9VGMb9I/AAAAAAAAILY/P64Os-rdhYA/P1190086_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a> <br />Filling kebabs for hungry patrons.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-qzpjsr-WPI0/UCjK-ZDagjI/AAAAAAAAILg/hP5fvVL6WxY/s1600-h/P1190085%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190085" border="0" alt="P1190085" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-599sffN3Ll8/UCjK_EyAnUI/AAAAAAAAILo/HVcSjABrfcM/P1190085_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ZAazbSQ6bHE/UCjLDoW-2XI/AAAAAAAAILw/FsEHx_jozr8/s1600-h/P1190084%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190084" border="0" alt="P1190084" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-sHa2QJd40_o/UCjLEUd7WzI/AAAAAAAAIL4/2PLo2ZPm0_c/P1190084_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="675" /></a> <br />Slow-roasting kebabs.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-OMi6X4HStvE/UCjLExIzeZI/AAAAAAAAIMA/el9V8bk54-w/s1600-h/P1190092%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1190092" border="0" alt="P1190092" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-g7P-u_6Ehcg/UCjLFcmcVzI/AAAAAAAAIMI/zbeRGl9n-t8/P1190092_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />There were several stalls selling Ayam Percik and since we weren’t sure which one was the best one, we went for the one that looked like it was going to finish.

Before we had a chance to try it ourselves, we had already amassed some information about the place from other bloggers.

You’ll see things like paper calendars, tiffin carriers, clay pots and ceramic bowls, and that is indeed what makes it so endearing. It reminds me of all things old-fashioned from my childhood and from my mum’s hometown which you can hardly see in modern places nowadays. Notice the Chinese rosette cookie mould (google it and I’m sure you’ll recognise it!) used as a stand for the specials menu.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-IJO8HUy-uuk/UCNkxDk0G_I/AAAAAAAAIC4/W4HM8P58EnI/s1600-h/P11806995.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Woks or light fittings?" border="0" alt="P1180699" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-kpPYqy16rAA/UCNkxtM-75I/AAAAAAAAIDA/rP5xjqKyQ-I/P1180699_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />I think these are iron woks turned upside down and painted pink! </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BY1tI9VaPgo/UCNkyMaJW5I/AAAAAAAAIDI/nQsC45VP1-Y/s1600-h/P118070514.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180705" border="0" alt="P1180705" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-A69hh2RSJrw/UCNkyhcFphI/AAAAAAAAIDQ/8WkRy8xyfTQ/P1180705_thumb6.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Old fashioned medicine pots!!

It was a lovely appetizer, but the only thing that didn’t make it stand out was the fact that both kuihs were a tad too dry.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-x_v7SHTBSJk/UCNk8QWJ5UI/AAAAAAAAIEs/uhgZQVzr1GA/s1600-h/P11806535.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180653" border="0" alt="P1180653" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-tCpWfEK4XVw/UCNk9aWhF3I/AAAAAAAAIE0/jGdekvnnN1M/P1180653_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-DCUpwq4A8DQ/UCNk9w-mlxI/AAAAAAAAIE8/i3F9Z_EqeIQ/s1600-h/P11806615.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180661" border="0" alt="P1180661" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-d-mlz_CgqN4/UCNk-d5dC5I/AAAAAAAAIFE/ifFPxHb9ISM/P1180661_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />For starters we had the <strong>Dancing Squid (RM15.90) </strong>which was panfried squid with butter, celery, and cod roe. What would have been a boring dish was saved by Wondermama’s sambal. Fiery and savoury, it was so good we even dipped our kuih in it!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-nM08P4Al4sA/UCNk_C6-JXI/AAAAAAAAIFM/UQxMt6h3iX0/s1600-h/P11806475.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180647" border="0" alt="P1180647" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-q5gYJU7Q8L4/UCNk_5XI78I/AAAAAAAAIFU/rdUEXUQg6ME/P1180647_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br /></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-CXrjgtZKwwg/UCNlAa4fVKI/AAAAAAAAIFc/CWnhfTHFpRk/s1600-h/P11806495.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180649" border="0" alt="P1180649" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-1DqLC64OsTY/UCNlAxh00SI/AAAAAAAAIFk/Q44pcjrcg5A/P1180649_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-zVBmfROlaA0/UCNlBnwSkcI/AAAAAAAAIFs/c2IBQiDItCw/s1600-h/P11806505.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180650" border="0" alt="P1180650" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-MiCYU8NeHOE/UCNlCUgA5SI/AAAAAAAAIF0/P8e2IF12kqI/P1180650_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />One of their recommended dishes: <strong>Spicy Seafood Maggi Goreng (RM14.90) </strong>which was served up with pan-fried salmon, prawn, sotong and an egg. Despite the hefty price for maggi goreng, this plate of noodles was amazingly good! It was described on the menu as being fried with home-made spicy sauce, and we could taste the slightly numbing spiciness. Wok hei was strong in this one, and Wils eagerly tried to fight me for the last bite.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CYT8rBKSjDM/UCNlC9Oa4nI/AAAAAAAAIF8/yL1482edCEg/s1600-h/P11806695.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180669" border="0" alt="P1180669" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-JrZHQhszNmE/UCNlDQXQpdI/AAAAAAAAIGE/AyeGaC6kGi0/P1180669_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-89rMIDbDRiw/UCNlELRTlWI/AAAAAAAAIGM/fIQQTBbAi3Q/s1600-h/P11806715.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180671" border="0" alt="P1180671" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-EOnr5PKpydI/UCNlEmiElwI/AAAAAAAAIGU/2Ydhyo1QBV8/P1180671_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-W5gd9s9QJ7I/UCNlFsexKMI/AAAAAAAAIGg/REKJKNei-Zk/s1600-h/P11806675.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180667" border="0" alt="P1180667" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-nAxu1UprVpQ/UCNlGQZ_EsI/AAAAAAAAIGo/GRDQY54amoQ/P1180667_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />The next thing we had was another fusion blend, <strong>Otak-Otak Naan Pizza( RM14)</strong> which is the first of its kind we’ve come across. The naan is crispy with a filling of spicy otak otak, and a drizzle of mayo.

If you’re reading this, thanks for the amazing hospitality! :D <br />Whipped cream, a smattering of marshmallows and  a dollop of vanilla ice-cream topped two pieces of Pisang Goreng.

Thanks to my huge sweet tooth, I’m always on the prowl for the newest and best desserts to sample. Crumbs Café is located in Lucky Garden – same row as the famous pork noodles that I’m sure everyone is familiar with – and is so small that you’ll almost miss it if you go by too fast. However, if you’re looking closely, you won’t fail to notice a mug with a mustache on it as Crumbs’ logo, which I think is super cute.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-OeES3dYBMVA/UB9eOsSjQ6I/AAAAAAAAH9g/kic2PagCZ7M/s1600-h/P11802005.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="Mustache!!" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ykKsOO30DXw/UB9ePPKYA_I/AAAAAAAAH9o/M5jysm8RmBg/P1180200_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> Crumbs is all about mustaches.</p> <p align="left">Crumbs is a homely café and a cosy nook of a restaurant that is adorned by plenty of whimsical and humorous illustrations pegged to the wall. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-1-RQbRTASAg/UB9eP_V-iVI/AAAAAAAAH9w/0sQHZ9O1u9c/s1600-h/P1150489%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Wall of wit" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-kdgKGO9NoG4/UB9eQdZ2tcI/AAAAAAAAH94/KA1XZHxVHM4/P1150489_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-DQPcMshUaVk/UB9eSJ-x22I/AAAAAAAAH-A/RVGdUjtIHDo/s1600-h/P1150485%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Carpe Diem" border="0" alt="P1150485" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-WnIEv6_IVGc/UB9eS0AYKKI/AAAAAAAAH-I/YnesHI5uxFo/P1150485_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-PYOH4-wyDJc/UB9eTlQ1YCI/AAAAAAAAH-Q/fvSgXf2sVWQ/s1600-h/P1150487%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Irony!!" border="0" alt="P1150487" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-i06Xhu9Z9sw/UB9eUGYVL4I/AAAAAAAAH-Y/eFu8QpgSNYM/P1150487_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-3JDmAU4FKJs/UB9eU-_qhnI/AAAAAAAAH-g/1TWAjLmn55w/s1600-h/P1150462%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Cosy Crumbs" border="0" alt="P1150462" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gKM1m9s6HFs/UB9eVVqOFKI/AAAAAAAAH-o/1Q6F-aZ8lSI/P1150462_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-D9MH0ap0kM0/UB9eWdY8sOI/AAAAAAAAH-w/FEFiP7s8fkI/s1600-h/P1150493%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Menu Board" border="0" alt="P1150493" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-tUtg5pjJ9B4/UB9eXM30bvI/AAAAAAAAH-0/wAgvXfTFe_M/P1150493_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="left">Crumbs doesn’t only serve desserts and cakes but they also have healthy sandwiches and wraps, and a wide variety of drinks.

Snowflakes used to be <em>the</em> place that everyone headed to to satisfy their Taiwanese-style dessert cravings but I hear that nowadays due to overwhelming demand and business, they have begun to machine make their taro balls instead of hand making it like they used to. Thankfully, we still have UFO who serves us authentic hand-made Taiwanese desserts. </p> <p>We haven’t had a chance to properly try out UFO yet, so the food review invite from ChopChop came at just the right time, and we were incredibly fortunate to sample almost everything they had on the menu.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ffLU88P28vE/UBO2Jg9ma3I/AAAAAAAAAfU/o7B6ItODY1Q/s1600-h/DSC_0041%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

The <strong>Winter Melon Tea (RM3)</strong> tasted fragrant but was a tad sweet (we chose 100% sugar level), whilst the <strong>Aiyu Lemon Green Tea (RM4.50)</strong> was refreshingly tangy with soft aiyu jelly offering something to chew on with every sip. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9LfMXfuqgtU/UBO2Txq44gI/AAAAAAAAAhk/UJh6RpYnn_g/s1600-h/P1180510%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180510" border="0" alt="P1180510" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-1uY6PJN_wHE/UBO2UUxzs9I/AAAAAAAAAhs/AFAZ4Eh9uPY/P1180510_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-lkmeOQKWUi8/UBO2U17g3PI/AAAAAAAAAh0/BCjeZ-xmTfw/s1600-h/P1180471%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180471" border="0" alt="P1180471" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-qQY-KPvBTNg/UBO2Wfv5BtI/AAAAAAAAAh8/NprnxHa9kZA/P1180471_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />Left: <strong>UFO’s Pearl Milk Tea (RM4.50)</strong>; Right: <strong>Honey Peach Yoghurt (RM4)</strong>. <br />What’s worth trying here is the Pearl Milk Tea, which also came highly recommended by UFO. The pearls truly make the drink stand out as they are not too hard nor too chewy at all, just the right amount of springy. Much better than the commercialized versions from Chatime and much cheaper too.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-pjrCkvtoipk/UBO2XM9ahkI/AAAAAAAAAiE/se0lfOEebdo/s1600-h/DSC_0057%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0057" border="0" alt="DSC_0057" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-eMYvvNzsiq4/UBO2XhJxatI/AAAAAAAAAiM/BtcZj_lQYlc/DSC_0057_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="431" /></a> <br />Here come the main attractions!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-hj4BEb09SHs/UBO2YFcXokI/AAAAAAAAAiU/jU91wJmCuuI/s1600-h/DSC_0043%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0043" border="0" alt="DSC_0043" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-g096mJJ-GjY/UBO2YqoxsEI/AAAAAAAAAic/7YCBMgB7Yso/DSC_0043_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="528" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1NXB_FOi090/UBO3bG5e-xI/AAAAAAAAAmg/ejQxQ7RcTsw/s1600-h/DSC_00537.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0053" border="0" alt="DSC_0053" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-tY3XSvbZ1C8/UBO2Z5exD2I/AAAAAAAAAis/QPobj_qOPLw/DSC_0053_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="528" /></a> <br /><strong>Soya Ice Series with Red Bean, Taro, and QQ Balls Toppings (RM6.00)</strong>. Comparable and perhaps even better than the one they have at Snowflake. The QQ balls were really nice and chewy and had strong taste of taro and sweet potato. <br />On the right is <strong>UFO Lemon Aiyu with Aiyu Jelly and yoghurt popping balls (RM4.50)</strong>. I absolutely loved the yoghurt popping balls! And it’s an incredibly refreshing concept because I don’t think I’ve seen anywhere else with this yet. The only thing that comes closest to is the coffee pearl thing that they have at Ochado, which is too sweet for me. UFO’s yoghurt popping balls pop in your mouth and release a burst of sweet and sour flavour in your mouth.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Emf3x-0PWJQ/UBO2ae5gNgI/AAAAAAAAAi0/j1v9g24Ts1c/s1600-h/DSC_0042%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0042" border="0" alt="DSC_0042" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-NZcXo2B-FTo/UBO2a8OzDlI/AAAAAAAAAi8/tIQNPD4QyLY/DSC_0042_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="431" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4kQzr7goOyM/UBO2bfeu6zI/AAAAAAAAAjE/7VQhJaY9QFc/s1600-h/DSC_0045%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0045" border="0" alt="DSC_0045" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-F6fzR7X74f4/UBO2b-uaZLI/AAAAAAAAAjM/5PkPFA9dBfE/DSC_0045_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="679" /></a> <br />For those who prefer something hot to warm their tummies up, you can opt for <strong>Hot Grass Jelly with Mini QQ Balls</strong>.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NOBYizsLqSM/UBO2cdUGFFI/AAAAAAAAAjU/2zMttgDT9wc/s1600-h/DSC_0047%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0047" border="0" alt="DSC_0047" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-R15GhgBxnVc/UBO2dP3ZUDI/AAAAAAAAAjc/9Pxx4OWkPF8/DSC_0047_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="528" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-N1R7lmtrowo/UBO2d19M_VI/AAAAAAAAAjk/wlhKLZAVQOk/s1600-h/DSC_0055%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0055" border="0" alt="DSC_0055" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-q2OAXhmSdio/UBO2ec_sb9I/AAAAAAAAAjs/m5HIAlgdu6g/DSC_0055_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="528" /></a> <br />On the right is <strong>Grass Jelly Series with Sweet Potato, pearl and QQ balls topping (RM6.00)</strong>. Pretty much the same as what you can get from similar chains outside but the difference is in the QQ balls (handmade of course) and the ice which packs a punch in grass jelly flavour, unlike the increasingly watered down versions of some other places.

Unlike any ocha balls that I’ve tasted before, the ones at UFO actually taste like ocha and have none of that weird bitter after taste that I find are present at some other places. It’s a perfect complement with the refreshing Matcha Ice (another unique one!) and the tangy yoghurt popping balls. Hands down the best one.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-gkirmqOxN4E/UBO2icuccwI/AAAAAAAAAkY/85HInnNajPw/s1600-h/DSC_0064%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0064" border="0" alt="DSC_0064" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-z8XOf8k-WVc/UBO2i_TaO5I/AAAAAAAAAkg/cFE68_4BHYI/DSC_0064_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="431" /></a> <br />Don’t worry if you’re craving more than something sweet!

We loved the cheese fries and the wasabi fries especially (the wasabi ones gave our tastebuds a kick!). Chicken fillet, calamari rings and cheese hot dogs are also available at UFO but we didn’t get the chance to sample them that day as the franchisor hadn’t delivered it to the outlet yet.</p> <p align="left">UFO is definitely a place to watch out for, with such good offerings for such reasonable prices, there is no reason why you shouldn’t head down there right now to curb your sweet tooth craving!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-sryrOfUZ05c/UBO2nl702xI/AAAAAAAAAlo/diELCBxhK1M/s1600-h/P1180461%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180461" border="0" alt="P1180461" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HLxQ324Zkjo/UBO2oAPxsjI/AAAAAAAAAlw/b37rm7dsWzk/P1180461_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="left">UFO is affiliated with ChopChop; which means that you can scan the code directly from the cashier and collect your loyalty stamps via smartphone instead of traditional loyalty cards.

I had the <strong>Spicy Prawn Diablo</strong> which came with a side of grilled vegetables: zucchini and onions. Portion was quite generous with five or six large prawns. We were told by the waitress that the diablo would be <em>incredibly</em> spicy but even for someone like me (low spice tolerance alert) it wasn’t very spicy at all. Anyway, it still tasted delicious and would have gone great with the Mexican Rice offered in the buffet spread.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mVEPwdQHMmU/UAqXRTQyILI/AAAAAAAAAbY/-4MRrimB3Cg/s1600-h/DSC_0385%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0385" border="0" alt="DSC_0385" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-9tEhrfauEY4/UAqXSx070bI/AAAAAAAAAbs/J3-Cq5QIwIU/DSC_0385_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="431" /></a> <br />Grilled vegetables.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ESNUOjjVPBw/UAqXTyuD5rI/AAAAAAAAAb0/wH4lswCbzXI/s1600-h/DSC_0384%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_0384" border="0" alt="DSC_0384" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-jc6VsIZCm5k/UAqXUn-4erI/AAAAAAAAAb8/z45JU6jKf9s/DSC_0384_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="431" /></a> <br />Wils had the <strong>Maple Glazed Salmon</strong>.

For RM50++ per pax, it’s a bang for your buck. Frontera doesn’t hold back on portion and doesn’t compromise freshness for price. So head over to Frontera this Ramadhan for a truly satisfying and value-for-money meal that won’t disappoint. </p> <p align="left">Thanks to Frontera for having us and visit their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fronterabar">Facebook page</a> for more information!

Fru-t-pop is run by an Indian lady, who hand makes all her popsicle sticks without added flavouring, sugar, additives or coloring. Basically what you see is what you get, if the label says apple and orange then you’re getting 100% apple and 100% orange.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Y65vjM2VQSs/UAkZttTdy7I/AAAAAAAAH5Q/I9M2gmAmFkA/s1600-h/P11705945.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1170594" border="0" alt="P1170594" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DEWMmUoL4Uk/UAkZuV_w9FI/AAAAAAAAH5Y/3P5m3DTnhlA/P1170594_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a></p> <p align="left">I absolutely loveeeeee love loveeee the deco of the place! Everything is so colourful and whimsy (think pastel chalk covered menu boards). According to their website, the owner was inspired by the Beatles “yellow submarine” book and adorned her café with bright happy colours! Also, the girls in those photos are all her daughters.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Y4JnGG3rKRM/UAkZvVQPtlI/AAAAAAAAH5g/8rhjHMjEhqw/s1600-h/P11705745.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1170574" border="0" alt="P1170574" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-AAKA8wxRq_U/UAkZv6yCo1I/AAAAAAAAH5o/gomxwUJMgX8/P1170574_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />No sugar and no flavouring!

The lady boss of Fru-t-pop was incredibly nice, very helpful and recommended to us what were the more popular flavours. In the end we chose <strong>Pineapple and Mandarin (RM4.90)</strong>. First bite and you know that everything that went into that popsicle is 100% natural. The pineapple taste was strong, with bits of pineapple flesh for us to chew on too! However, the mandarin seemed a little subtle. On the downside, the size of the popsicle was pretty small for the price but of course you’ll expect to pay a little more for ingredients that are wholly natural.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-EVhlZ16a9fU/UAkZ2F8ldAI/AAAAAAAAH6w/CnynyXgx7Mc/s1600-h/P11706075.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1170607" border="0" alt="P1170607" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-vCqUfhSztak/UAkZ2snGNjI/AAAAAAAAH64/s1HFMCqz8pM/P1170607_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Cool fruit indeed.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-OP3fubZvqsM/UAkZ3VEfivI/AAAAAAAAH7A/A-UPM7ErHl4/s1600-h/P11705765.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1170576" border="0" alt="P1170576" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-lRXQ6hc1xXI/UAkZ363g_RI/AAAAAAAAH7I/F0Dyo2ND8BI/P1170576_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Fru-t-pop also serves healthy wraps which we didn’t try (already had our lunch next door teehee).</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-DwmqN2Qr_Wo/UAkZ4R9jYYI/AAAAAAAAH7Q/umHJor5O5XU/s1600-h/P11706135.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1170613" border="0" alt="P1170613" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-DoucZ3hF9gI/UAkZ458DKGI/AAAAAAAAH7Y/_l9FJUphoQM/P1170613_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-thmC6c_-VG8/UAkZ5tfASlI/AAAAAAAAH7g/rQ35cwdSaWQ/s1600-h/P11705875.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1170587" border="0" alt="P1170587" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/--9CyREM2j-I/UAkZ6KfDe9I/AAAAAAAAH7o/CxPAS_dzsFw/P1170587_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />Me and my sweet tooth. :D</p> <p align="left">Fru-t-pop definitely warrants a return visit to check out all the different flavours that they have (I spied a coconut and dragonfruit one!) and perhaps to sample their healthy wraps too.

Half of these we have no idea about. So when Wils spied one of his friends heading to Mukha, we were glad of another new place for us to discover.</p> <p>Tucked in a more quiet street than the more “happening” side of Lorong Rahim Kajai (where <a href="http://gluttonssquare.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-am-strong-advocator-of-proper-greasy.html">Sid’s Pub</a>, <a href="http://gluttonssquare.blogspot.com/2011/05/clarissane-reviews-brunch-tom-dick.html">TDH</a> and <a href="http://gluttonssquare.blogspot.com/2011/04/wils-reviews-42-east-restaurant-bar.html">42 East</a>) are located, Mukha sits beside Surisit (a Thai kopitiam we have yet to try) and is quite hidden so that if you weren’t looking properly you might just miss it. The first time we went looking for it, we completely drove past it before taking another round and going “it’s there, it’s there!!”.</p> <p align="left">Mukha is inspired by the seaport of the same name in Yemen and hence most of the food there has Middle-Eastern notes and influences. Shisha is also available for anyone who wants to puff on while having a long chat with friends. <br />The interior of the restaurant is cosy and warm, rough brick walls and a huge blackboard along the bar where the menu and the specials are written for all to see.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-P0reJJwDjfQ/UAUoz0146RI/AAAAAAAAH14/RSyYWnf8eAw/s1600-h/P1170651.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1170651" border="0" alt="P1170651" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-w21rFGzdK_0/UAUo1OXPs2I/AAAAAAAAH2A/-A0Ng2iSorI/P1170651_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-t3oPa3-jaX8/UAUo2XOlx2I/AAAAAAAAH2I/3o7xhqEXE-4/s1600-h/P1180148%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180148" border="0" alt="P1180148" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-UMiS-m9_iys/UAUo3Ws5UYI/AAAAAAAAH2Q/Duxpb2pr0zk/P1180148_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="350" height="525" /></a> <br />Left: <strong>Mint Hot Chocolate (RM7) </strong>was one of the specials of the day when we visited – full of minty chocolatey goodness! <br />Right: <strong>Virgin Mojito (RM8)</strong>, a highly refreshing blend of mint and citrus.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-MoGrFkGN4E8/UAUo5Ry3TbI/AAAAAAAAH2Y/g99Cb4Bsof0/s1600-h/P1180154%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1180154" border="0" alt="P1180154" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-LVpA-2GxZf8/UAUo6t7iByI/AAAAAAAAH2g/ch9pnYC_OtU/P1180154_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Most of the time when I go to Mukha, I have their <strong>Chicken Kebab (RM13)</strong>, which is total comfort food.

You have to pay for your dessert at the counter before the lady serves it to your table. The hazelnut torte that we had scored highly looks-wise and tastewise! It was moist and you could taste hazelnuts in almost every bite. Extra points for the truffle chocolate on top of the torte! :D</p> <p align="left">In conclusion, Mukha is definitely a place to check out. Prices are not at all expensive and the food that you get is good and value for money. The epitome of comfort food that keeps me wanting to go back for more.</p> <p align="left">Only downside is parking (as always), but if you get here early maybe before 7.30pm there should be quite a lot of spaces still.</p> <p>Address: <br /><strong>Mukha Cafe @ TTDI, <br />15, Lorong Rahim Kajai 13, <br />Taman Tun Dr Ismail.</strong></p> <p>Map *<a href="https://maps.google.com.my/maps?q=Mukha+Taman+Tun+Dr+Ismail&hl=en&sll=4.109495,109.101269&sspn=32.727555,39.506836&oq=mukha+taman&t=h&hq=Mukha&hnear=Taman+Tun+Dr+Ismail,+Kuala+Lumpur,+Federal+Territory+of+Kuala+Lumpur&z=16">here</a>*</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-kyfPpOQKuAM/UAUpVXwDO0I/AAAAAAAAH4o/weYsUbF78j8/s1600-h/gf1banner%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="gf1banner" border="0" alt="gf1banner" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-gDzZ-8dDBTA/UAUpWXpbz-I/AAAAAAAAH4w/SwTSQT8pTc0/gf1banner_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="240" height="54" /></a></p> Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07449221272745245636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648315243668830199.post-28820959723124560502012-07-06T12:15:00.001+08:002012-07-06T12:15:35.680+08:00ronnycakes reviews: L.table by Lavender, 1U Bandar Utama<p>Ever since Lavender set up shop at 1U, the bakery has been receiving an endless patronage of hungry bread-lovers.

L.table’s version is somewhat different that the ones we’re used to because instead of bacon, lightly grilled pieces of chicken breast are served instead, and the chicken sausage are reminiscent<strong> </strong>of hotel buffet-type sausages. All in all, it was good but not really something to shout about. Extra points for the skillet though! :D</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-oL2QhnBSX8o/T_ZmMVWK9bI/AAAAAAAAH0k/mDe2DLFhtwI/s1600-h/P1170205%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1170205" border="0" alt="P1170205" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-t7guo0-iG0c/T_ZmNZJ7pbI/AAAAAAAAH0s/M1owROSDhq8/P1170205_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Sunny side up eggs.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-zShdvjSwFLM/T_ZmO-yO4-I/AAAAAAAAH00/zYBP1oUe-nE/s1600-h/P1170206%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1170206" border="0" alt="P1170206" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-31boj015K3I/T_ZmSxYN_1I/AAAAAAAAH08/5aKMXGkLpNU/P1170206_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="650" height="433" /></a> <br />Lightly grilled chicken breasts which were seasoned well.

The duck meat was plentiful and had a soft melt-in-your-mouth sort of quality but I thought the sauce lacked a bit of oomph. It was a tad too bland for me and ended up being a little too thick for my tastebuds. If you’re ordering this I recommend that you share this dish as it can get quite satiating after awhile. </p> <p align="left">All in all, Lavender is a good enough place to visit once in awhile and has an interesting enough menu for you to experiment with, without blowing your wallet as prices are quite reasonable.
