Boston @ Soho KL

We decided to have a cosy chat and wine at Boston. While browsing through the food menu, this restaurant serves oriental fusion. Somewhat like Chinese dishes mixed with Western style.

We ordered a bottle of Yellow Label Cabernet Sauvignon which cost a whopping RM103.

Bar Counter

This place is comfy for a chat with friends. Maybe this restaurant is still new as it is kinda quiet with not so many customers.

The interior of the restaurant

This place is open until 12.30am and located at a corner lot, first floor. There is also an open area outside but I find it quite stuffy.

Cheers~

Ole Ole Bali

A cosy Saturday nite dinner at Ole Ole Bali; SohoKL, Mont Kiara. We were seated outside the restaurant on a big wooden chair with big cushion pillows under an oversized umbrella. The ambience was cosy and comfy - great place to hang out. The interior and decos of this restaurant is very much Balinese style. Got to know that Ole Ole Bali is a sister company of Bumbu Bali which is located at Puchong. My friend told me that the food menu is the same!

Drinks were served first. Barley Lime juice is a concoction of barley juice and lime. The taste is extremely refreshing! A jug of barley lime which cost RM18 can serve up to 5 person. A better bargain if you go for a glass of barley lime which cost RM6.

Barley Lime Jug - RM18

So-called appetizer for the evening is sate lilit. Grilled meat paste (not sure what meat it is; most probably chicken or seafood) on serai/lemongrass stalks. This sate is not the usual satay you get from those satay stalls. This sate is minced meat so when you take a bite on it, it is soft and juicy. yummy~

Sate Lilit (4 sticks) - RM15

Another appetizer, Grilled Squid Salad. You can opt either grilled squid or chicken for this salad. Slices of oranges and keropok add a lil' twist to this salad. There are cherry tomatoes, chunks of carrots and cabbage in this salad served with grilled squid. The squids are tasty though a bit burnt.

Grilled Squid Salad - RM14

Now comes the main dish - Nasi Campur Ole Ole. A big plate of nasi campur with rice, grilled fish, chicken rendang, grilled squid and prawns, fried kangkung, acar-acar, sate lilit and keropok served with chilli sauce. I wonder how could 1 person finish this whole plate! I would really recommend this dish to you as this whole plate of nasi campur taste so good especially the grilled fish!

Nasi Campur Ole Ole Bali - RM33

Next is Nasi Kambing Bumbu. Again, a big plate of rice served with pan fried mutton, fried kangkung, acar-acar and keropok. The mutton is fried with basil leaves and dried chillies. The mutton pieces were soft and tender.

Nasi Kambing Bumbu - RM26

Ole Ole Trio is a combination of sate lilit (4 pieces), grilled chicken wings and deep fried sotong (also known as fried calamari). Among the three, I liked cumi-cumi goreng (deep fried sotong) the most.

Ole Ole Trio - RM38

Deserts time! Ice Campur is an ice concoction of bits of fruits (watermelon and honeydew) in santan milk with sago and mango slices. The santan taste very strong - not to my liking but my friend love it so much that she cant stop scopping this desert to her mouth :p

Ice Campur - RM11

Another bowl of desert - Banana Bowl. 3 scoops of ice cream served with banana and wafer pieces ; drizzled with chocolate and strawberry sauce.
This time, my turn to scooped the ice cream non stop :p haha..

Banana Bowl - RM13

Overall, the food is nice and the ambience is cosy. I would definitely come here again.

Teow Chew Meng

Restoran Teow Chew Meng is famous for its mee suah tow. When we first stepped in to this restaurant at SS2, we were surprised to see only 2 tables being occupied. Usually this place would be packed with people.

Mee Sua Tow is a pot of mee sua with your choice of either seafood, chicken or fish in thick broth. We ordered seafood and this pot is filled with fish slices, crabstick, squids and prawns. From the last time I tasted this dish which was last year, I think the quality of this mee sua tow has degraded.

Mee Sua Tow - RM11 per pax

Next is a salad dish which compromise slices of green apple, dried shrimps and beancurd - served with sweet and sour sauce. My fave dish for the evening.

Apple Beancurd - RM10

After that comes Fried Oyster Mee. A bowl of this mee comes with loads of oyster served in thick oyster sauce. Reminds me somewhat of Shilin Street Snack's mee sua oyster noodle just that this dish tastes slightly better.

Fried Oyster Mee - RM15

As for tom yam noodle, you could also select either seafood, chicken or fish. We picked meehun with seafood. The tom yam soup taste just nice - not too sour and not too spicy. A recommended dish.

Tom Yam Noodle - RM11

This plate of fried rice taste good as well. It taste like the normal fried rice that you can get from those 'dai chow' stalls.

Fried Rice - RM10

Pepper Lunch @ Pavilion, KL

You like pepper?
If you do, this newly open Pepper Lunch restaurant might be something for you.
And the good news is, you may forget about the service charge & gov tax. It's tax free !!
As overall, the concept is kinda new in m'sia. Give it a try !!

"Featuring Beef from Australia and New Zealand, Norwegian Salmon, Japanese Curry and our special pastas, all seasoned with Freshly Ground Black Pepper and served on a sizzling Hot Plate.
Sizzle it Your Way" from "http://www.pepperlunch.com.sg/"

Follow the steps to enjoy a fabulous lunch.

Beef Pepper Rice RM17.80 nett. Add on frizzy drinks or miso soup at RM2.50.
Oops... before I could snap a nice pix on what I'm gonna eat, the waiter kept asking me to mix well my rice with the butter else it's gonna get scorched. The real pix should look like this >> Looks gooo0od huh

Loin Fillet Steak RM33.80.
FYI, you need to follow the steps above as things are raw when served. Sizzle it till desired doneness.
I kinda like this loin fillet steak, as the meat is so tender and juicy. The combination of sweet corn and raw bean sprouts with the special sauce prepared make the set lunch yummier.

Dao Rae Korean BBQ @ Puchong

Craving for korean BBQ? Give a try at Dao Rae. This korean BBQ restaurant have a few branches in Klang Valley and Petaling Jaya. We went to the one at Bandar Puteri, Puchong this time.

Do notice the variety of side dishes served - bean sprouts, sweet potato slices, pickled radish, "ba li tong", mashed potato (it taste sweet - kinda weird), kimchi, spinach and pickled parsley.

We ordered KimChi Jigae - RM16. Kimchi soup with pork belly served in a hot stone pot. I am not a kimchi lover but this soup taste good. It doesn't taste sour and itz loaded with tofu, veges, tang hoon and pork belly.

Korean white rice which cost RM5! This is not the normal white rice you eat at home or chicken rice stall. These grains of rice is very soft and filling. Eventhough RM5 is pricey for a bowl of plain white rice but I really recommend you to try :)

Next is Daeji Gal-bi RM27 - Pork ribs marinated in special sweet soy sauce. This dish was recommended by the waiter.

Another shot of the side dishes.


Pork Special - RM35. Itz selection of cuts from pork slices. This dish was recommended by the waiter also. After the pork slices were cooked, you need to dip it into sesame oil and chilli paste for more flavour as it was not marinated.

Fresh lettuce served FOC with every BBQ dishes ordered. You eat these lettuce by wrapping the bbq meat with bits of side dishes, sesame oil and korean chilli paste. yummy~

Pasta Zanmai @ 1 Utama

This is my second post for Pasta Zanmai ; however, with more food to intro this time :)
Let's start with temaki or known as hand rolled sushi.

Chicken Teriyaki Temaki (RM4) and Soft Shell Crab Temaki (RM5)

For temaki, you could opt for either tortilla or seaweed wrap. This time we go for tortilla wrap and it was surprisingly good! A change from the normal seaweed wrap. Chicken teriyaki temaki is chicken in teriyaki or sweet sauce wrapped in tortilla with rice and lettuce. As for soft shell crab temaki - soft shell crab with rice, lettuce and fish roe wrapped in tortilla.

In case you wonder what is tortilla - itz some kind of a bread/pastry ; almost same like pita bread.

Meat Omu Set - RM22

This set comes with a bowl of salad and miso soup. This dish is acutally rice wrapped with egg served with tomato based meat sauce. Taste somewhat like you are eating spaghetti except itz rice.

Kani KouraGratan - RM10

This dish is something like au gratin. Pieces of crab meat baked in cheese served in a crab shell. When you first dig into this dish, it taste salty as they put rough salt on the edge of the shell. This dish is not worth the money coz itz really small.

Unagi Set - RM20

This set comes with a bowl of salad and miso soup too. Slices of unagi or eel drizzled with sweet sauce served with a bowl of rice. yummy~

Asari Curry - RM26

You can choose this bowl of noodle soup for wafu soup (clear soup) or curry. This time we chose curry. Asari is actually lala/clams. Handful of lala served in curry soup. Worth a try.

Sirloin Steak Set - RM30

This set also comes with salad and miso soup. Strips of grilled sirloin steak with teriyaki sauce? served with rice. Side dish for this steak is mashed potato. The steak taste ok but after a few strips I began to feel 'fan wai' ; maybe because it was half done. Then I pass the whole dish to my bro. Haha..

Hotate Pizza - RM26

This dish is my fave!! Hotate or scallops with mushroom baked pizza. I cant remember the sauce they put on top of the pizza but it is so yummy yummy~

Sansu Mori - RM12

Desert time!! This desert comes with 3 scoops of ice cream - black sesame ice cream, macha/green tea ice cream drizzled with azuki/red bean sauce and chocolate ice cream served with crispy waffle slices, drizzled with chocolate sauce. My pick goes to black sesame ice cream! which taste the best among all.

Strawberry Parfait - RM15

This glass of desert comes with a few layers. Top part was strawberry ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate sauce; then a layer of cornflakes ; then a layer of strawberry ice cream again ; finally strawberry puree at the bottom of the glass. Yum~

**************************** by kecikmiao ****************************

Add-On to the above: My first visit to MidV Pasta Zanmai.The food served is just as delicious as the one in 1U.

Special Ice Green Tea RM 3/glass- the taste is different, not sure what they mixed in. It could be some milk powder or creamer, but I kinda like it.

Salmon Sashimi to Ikura Okonoshi no Pasta RM26/set - Raw Salmon & grated radish with salmon eggs. Set comes with a bowl of fresh salad and miso soup.

Ebi to Mochi no Cheese Pizza RM26 - Prawn and Japanese Rice Cake Cheese Pizza.

TGIF @ The Curve

We have our Christmas dinner at TGIF and decided to order the RM39.90 set dinner menu.
For RM39.90 you would get an appetizer, main course and desert.

The set menu is divided into 2 categories choice of food : healthy or sinful

Lets start with the healthy alternatives :

Boneless Wings (Appetizer)

Strips of marinated boneless chicken wings served with celery sticks and mayo dressing. The chicken wings taste sour - not to my liking.

Shrimp Martini (Appetizer)

As the name suggested, handful of shrimps cooked with cucumber and tomato dices served in a martini glass. Doubtful that the shrimps are cooked with alcohol though.

Chicken Caesar Salad (Main Course)

Loads of lettuce with croutons served with chicken breast. The chicken was good but they put too much mayo dressing. Not so healthy huh.

Key West Whitefish (Main Course)

Whitefish as mentioned would be sauteed dory fish served with brocolli in a special sauce. This is my fave so far.

Cookies & Cream (Desert)

2 big pieces of chocolate chip cookies served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzled with caramel and chocolate sauce. yummy~~ this desert taste much better than the choco cake below.

Next the more sinful option which means more calories loaded food.

Mac & Cheese Bites (Appetizer)

Deep fried hand battered flour bites with oozing macaroni and cheese on the inside. yummy~

Chicken Alfredo (Main Course)

Spaghetti in creamy white sauce served with a strip of marinated chicken breast.

Chocolate Malt Cake (Desert)

This cake taste like the ordinary chocolate cake that you could get from any bakery shop.

Merry Christmas everyone!! Do stay tune for more posts in the future.
