Restaurant Murni Discovery

Well I'm not going to talk about the location because Murni Discovery is scattered here and there.

Here's a LINK to see where's the nearest Murni Discovery to you.

Anyway, this place is awesome! Ok, where to start...

First thing up is their portion. Be sure to bring a friend along if you're going to order certain dishes on their menu, for example their Mee Raja. I seriously laughed (nah I'm not that bad) at the poor, unsuspecting lady at the nearby table as the plate was brought to her table. Her face was literally saying 'wtfisthismountain'. I'll try it and see if I can gorge it down the next time I go there :3 But the dish I ate was Soft Shell Crab Fried Rice! :) It's RM15, which is DEFINITELY affordable for the portion they're about to slap me with.

 By the way, I've already eaten a portion of it if it looks small :)

Crabby!

So how did it taste? Exquisitely good, especially the crab. The portion? A crabload! They gave me 3 pieces of fist-sized soft shell crab, an almost 1 1/2 bowls of fried rice (laced with many crab sticks, squid slices and prawns), and french fries (which was awesomely crispy). For dipping sauce I had black pepper and chilli. Even me, for a heavy eater, was dreading to finish the whole plate. I gave up when I reached them fries :P I gave half of em to my friend.

For light eaters you can always opt for their flying bread (Roti Canai hahaha), unleavened flatbread (Chapati), or their kandar rice which you can self-service and take as per your gastronomical needs. If you're having kandar, be sure to have their pandan roast chicken. It's drumstick-lickin-awesome.

A thick concoction of sirap bandung or milk + rose syrup. Now that's what I call quality!

It's an overall 'quality discount' shop if I may call it. The restaurant serves heavy meals at a light price. That means more fill for the tummy, and less wings from your wallet/purse! :) Awesomesausageness!

"C... can I have some?"

Restaurant Pastry House

Restaurant Pastry House

Food, oh delicious foodz. This time around I’m gonna write about a restaurant called ‘Pastry House Kuala Lumpur’.

Despite parking being hard to find, the food here is extremely acceptable. The serve all sorts of morsels and chunks of things that pretty match up to what you call ‘food’.

I went to this restaurant 3 times, and 2 out of 3 are good experiences. Taste their nachos and spaghetti, it’s good no joke, especially if you’re a fan of duck. Cuz they serve duck spaghetti! :D I love it, and I’m sure you’ll like it. Quacker quackem. Go quacker go… and stuff.

But do not EVERRRRRRRRRRRR taste their Chicken Gordon Bleu. It tastes like what Gordon’s chicken blew out of its… err, you get the idea. I mean SERIOUSLY =__= worse dish I have eaten in my whole entire life. It’s like, total ugh-ness. I think they replaced cheese with snot, and I forced myself to eat the whole thing… seriously not a good experience.

Their soup is GOOD. Check out their… onion soup, and cream of mushroom, if you’re a fan of those two. You can also opt for pastries, which they sell it at discounted prices at times (hopefully not because it’s on the verge of going bad).

The restaurant rating for me is overall 5/10. Their restaurant concept is good, but food still needs improving.

TOODLESSSSSSSSS

Ramadhan Special: Palace of the Golden Horses

Surprise surprise! Palace of the Golden Horses (PGH) invited me for the launching of their Iftar Ramadhan buffet, starting next month, throughout the month of Ramadhan at Carousel International Restaurant, in coorporation with Mines Wellness Hotel. Oh gosh. I must tell you how I miss Ramadhan food. I haven't had it since like, a century ago T_T

Anywho, the hotel was kind enough to invite small children from orphanages to the event as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Others among me were the media, bloggers and invited guests.

Love their backdrop. Simple and clean, and guess what?

The 'crescent moon' you see is an actual food layout, photographed from above!

That mosque you see? It's actually made of cake and icing. O___O

Hmmm, I don't know who all the bigshots are xD But I know that

The dude on the far right is PGH's Operation Manager. Oh, and the

middle lady is the orphanage caretaker I think.

AND NOWWWWWWWW IT'S TIME FOR TEH FOODZ!
OH GLORIOUS FOOD.

Oh wait, before that they had a prayer of course.

He's from the orphanage

AND NOW FOR THE FOOD! I'll just let the pictures do the talking.

Sushi here... O.o sounds legit.

You'll never believe how big of a gearbox they gave me!

Howley sheet I can eat all of that

My bread, Roti John. xD

The chefs were sporting enough to help the children

With ghazal band performance!

I think he likes me. o_o

OK, that's all for today. But one thing's for sure - OMG. It was so tasty. I heard from the chefs that they will have 3 different menus rotating daily during Ramadhan, so people will always find something new if they come here. What dedication!


Toodlessssssss~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Restaurant Sushi King

I gotta tell you, some of the dishes here are surprisingly better than Sakae Sushi, and this is at Mines Shopping Mall as usual =_= Key locations are Palace of the Holden Horses and Mines Wellness Hotel since those are the only place I can think of. Hmmm, speaking of which I have yet to talk about food there. Maybe in the future then.

Besides tastier dishes, Sushi King also serves LESS EXPENSIVE FOOD! Which is awesome pawsome for my wallet. Here's what I ate:

Can't remember but I think it's called a 'Mix _______ bento' or something :P

Salmon is tasty and decent in portion and so is the fish/chicken karaage.

Things missing from the picture are two slices of takuan (Japanese pickles, info here) and a chunk of rice since I'm too damn starving to snap a picture before eating xD Or rather, tasted it and thought it is too big of an opportunity to post something delicious :D

Ina-chan says hi! :D

Restaurant Sakura Kristal

Now who the hell used such a gentle flower on a totally hard word, especially starting with "K" of all letters, to name a restaurant? Such foolishness I tell you, blasphemy! If it's Crystal I wouldn't mind but please, this name is damn icky. Such an 'unsmooth' restaurant name. Well, hope the food is good, right? :)

Now me and my department went to this restaurant which newly opened in Mines Shopping Mall. Probably landmarks around here are... Palace of the Golden Horses, Mines Wellness Hotel, Besraya Toll? Lol. I'll use those more frequently to let people get familiar with this place if they ever wanna come here.

Now let's go straight to the point. It was Tuesday and their set menu was drink, 2 fried dumplings, and a dish of the day. I chose Beef Fried Rice. Looks like a nice dish! Right? RIGHT?

Well they call it beef fried rice but you can't really see any beef in it. Just microscopic cubes that even bacteria find it hard to detect (ok, too exaggerated but yea xD). That 'black sauce' is misleading because it's actually black pepper. OK. So, does this mean it's BLACK PEPPER Fried Rice instead of BEEF Fried Rice? Well, I personally think so. They probably think cows poop black pepper seeds and think the poop is associated with beef since it came from a cow. =P

At any rate, the dish was... hmmm, interesting. The taste is acceptable, and if you're a black pepper lover you'll surely love this. But for the portion... Let's just say it'll fit you if you're on diet ;)

But still, it's good. But fail. And good at the same time. GAH. I'll have to explain I guess:

Rating:
Dish naming: FHAIL WHALE
Taste: 60% pass if you wanna eat beef but don't mind getting black pepper instead of beef.
Portion: So-so


P.S: The tomato and cucumber was lovely. Made a great couple.

On a side note! I came across this xD

The Oatmeal strikes again lol.

Adieu~!

Restaurant Thai Up!

So liek yezzerdai mah deparhtmenz zesided tweu ghoe thew Thai Up! (k I will cut the slang)

Now I still can't eat spicy stuff due to my stomach bacteria so... yea, going to something that is spelled 'Thai' is mindslapping. But no worries, I can always order something that isn't spicy... right? RIGHT? Right.

Introducing the high and almighty Thailand. Where Tom Yum, Tom Yam and other spicy slash (/) sour stuff lingers. But the lil ol' me is going to have Thai-Style American Fried Rice! Beat that. Here's a pic.

Well sorry for the low resolution pic but DOESN'T IT LOOK YUMMY? Let me tell you the details.

Ingredients:
1) A tad bit sour yet moist fried rice
2) 1 sunny side up egg
3) 2 cucumber slices
4) 2 tomato slices
5) 2 octopusausages (friends fingers not included but you may chew on them if you want)
6) 1 extra crispy drumstick (which you sadly can't play drums with)
7) 1 white plate (unless you're expecting it to be served on a table)

The price? An affordable... RM13.50++ ish. For me? It was worth it because it's a big portion. Much bigger than the set menu that my friends had, which had a small bowl of curry and plain white rice. Price is around RM9.90++ ish? Forgot (innocent face) xD

Till next time, folks! Ahieack!

Restaurant Chilla Cup

Yesterday my department decided to go to Mines Shopping Mall, which is nearby Mines Wellness Hotel and Palace of the Golden Horses. Now I must say that most of my colleagues have a taste for the more expensive things in life so we decided to drop by a restaurant called 'Chilla Cup', or what my boss calls it, 'celaka' xD (meaning 'cursed' or 'infernal' in Malay or Indonesian).

Now the restaurant had a nice concept, and it's self service to order at the counter. As I was on err, a very restricted diet (because of the stomach ache), I cannot take stuff with iron, milk or antacids. Chicken contains iron, as well as beef and lamb and beans and bean curd and others, so it's kinda hard to choose. After a loooooooong contemplation, I decided to go with a Continental Breakfast, which thankfully was served throughout the day.

Now the good thing is that I can choose the stuff I want as they have like a mix and match system for my dish. Which is good because I can only eat certain things. I went with a set of 5 options, and had 2x hash browns, 2x omelettes and x1 sauteed mushrooms. Seems legit.

Looks awesome? Tastes good.

What lovely presentation. Well, I mean better than simply slapping all of the hash browns on the plate, they actually stacked it up neatly. Why look, combined with the bread, it looks like a smiley face! :>

Yes my mistake but sauteed mushies are supposed to be salty... and I just ate them on its own. X_X What, I don't have any other choice did I? I basically ate everything separately, though one of my colleagues stacked his meal into a burger and uh... gorged it down.

Overall the food was quite ok. Everything was acceptable including the infamous oily hash browns which are not overly oily like some restaurants serve them. OH. AND DID I MENTION THEY HAVE MAPLE SYRUP? Yea that's my fav so I kinda dipped my bread and even omelette into it. Tastes excellente~

By the way R.I.P to one piece of bread that flew over the table halfway to my boss. Was trying to cut it but I guess it refuses to be eaten :(
