I can’t imagine that there is such a stall to make this kinda dishes. I just went to have a dinner @ Pudu Plaza food court. At first, I was quite discouraged with the environment of the place because it was just an ordinary food court with not many stalls opened. However, when the first dish came, I was amused by it (especially the big lobster lying beautifully on the plate). Hehe. The taste was not bad and the price also quite reasonable. The only flaws was the environment was not so pleasant looking. Just the first dish alone was enough to fill up my tummy. The portion was huge.

Some pictures I took just now. Sorry bout the flash as I forgot to turn it off and also the poor angle that I took (everyone was asking me to hurry up as they were hungry).

The Lobster Variety Plate (Duno what is the name of the dish)

C-O-C-O NUT Dessert (Taste like bubur cha cha but with only yam & ginkgo in it. Nice!)

Dim Sum Lunch

Had lunch at Shangri-La for dim sum today. Erm…the dim sum was okay. Nothing great. For the same price you are paying here, I can say that you can get better dim sum else where. Worst, they do not have many choices for you. As for desert, I had the durian pan-cake. However, I still prefers the one at Mandarin Oriental. Theirs is still the best durian pan-cake so far I have ever tried.

Dinner @ Antique Restaurant

Why did I call it an antique restaurant? Because everything looked so antique in this restaurant. Me and my family went to Sek Yuen Restaurant @ Pudu for dinner (one of the historical restaurants in KL). It was run by those old folks where they started their business many many years ago. You can see their tables, chairs, fan, clock, and including their waiters were old. No joke, man!!! Even the crew (cooks) in the kitchen were all “old old”!

As for the food, what really impress me were their noodles. The taste of their noodles were kinda special. The style of cooking it was just different from many other restaurants out there. My dad said that this was the kind of taste back to the old days. Many people now do not know how to cook it in this style nowadays. But I do not know how true was that lar. I was not even born yet in those days. Lolz!

A scene from the kitchen. Notice the old man there? He is one of the cook.

Notice the chinese wordings that look like a tea-pot? I wonder what it means.

Some of the dishes I tried there but was so-so only. The noodles still the best among the rest. Guess what? They serve you the dishes with those old fashioned plate. Btw, please do not mind my poor camera skill. Hehe.

I read about this cafe few days ago on the newspaper. It happens that me and my colleagues went to Sg Wang yesterday. So, we gave it a try.

The setting up of the cafe was quite okay. Cozy & comfy. Some of their waiters were quite friendly. However, the food were so-so only. Slightly below my expectation and the price were not so reasonable (for this kind quality of food). I ordered the pineapple seafood fried rice while my colleagues ordered the nasi lemak ayam and claypot prawn vercimilli (forget how to spell it).

Let me start with my fried rice. 2 words - nothing special. It did not impress me at all and it tasted like ordinary fried rice. The portion was kinda small. It was so-called the “seafood” fried rice but the only seafood I can find in the rice were a few crabsticks (cut into small cube) and 4 medium-sized prawns.

I also tried my colleagues claypot prawn vercimilli. It looked kinda appealing. But again, the taste was not up to our expectation. The taste of the black pepper were too strong. You will first taste the black pepper then only the prawn. The black pepper seems to drown the taste of the prawn. However, I would give a thumbs-up for the size of the prawn. It was really huge.

There was also an incident that pissed my colleagues off when we were asking for our bill. The owner of the cafe, a lady, noted that we were asking for the bill. However, she proceeded with her PR’ing (mingle) business, talking to the customers instead of bringing us the bill. She did not even ask her staff to do so. And there were people waiting at the queue to be seated and yet nobody seems to care about us (asking for the bill). Only after a few attempts and waited for about 10- 15 mins later, we finally managed to get someone to bring us the bill. Gosh, what kinda attitude was that? (I mean the owner). At least you settle people’s bill first before you mingle around and do your PR-ing.  My colleagues were damn pissed off and said they won’t be going back there for lunch again!

I was craving for sushi since Sunday. Though I had sushi @ Kiku Zakura for lunch on that Sunday itself but dunno why my crave for sushi still strong. Hehe. So, I ended up having sushi again for dinner last nite @ Rakuzen. Sushiiii…deliciiioousss! Oh ya, guess what? At Rakuzen, those jap sushi sifu was speaking Malay. So farney !!!

Month of May has ended. Finally….phew. It was a tiring month for me but I learned lotsa things tho.
