Maiu Japanese Restaurant @ The Place, D'sara Perdana

Maiu had taking over Umaiya in The Place, Damansara Perdana. But nothing is too bad about Maiu, they serve fresh food and scrumptious Japanese maki and bento.
I still can't figure out how did they grill the teriyaki chicken until the chicken skin is crispy and crunchy and yet it's not oily like what you will predict whether it was deep fried or not, there's no doubt on it. This bento set cost RM22 which it's reasonable and come along with miso soup, salad, and fruits.

 

I just crave for soft shell crab and here comes my soft shell crab maki ^^ RM16 for this

Jeng jeng jeng... this is absolutely must try. Berjaya Garden Maki. A different recipe to make a maki with baby octopus and avocado on top and the bite of it it's just simply delicious and also crunchy in the inside with a touch of fried tempura and this is also for RM16

Laris Cafe Authentic Kelantan & Thai Food @ Solaris Dutamas

Was invited over for a dinner by Mune to his two weeks old cafe restaurant. Laris mainly served Kelantanese food from 8am-6pm and from 6pm onwards they serve Thai food. Laris is located at Solaris Dutamas and I bet a lot of you might be confused with Solaris or Solaris Dutamas right? Well, Solaris Dutamas is actually another area after by pass SOHO Solaris. If you know MAP Publika, so that area is call Solaris Dutamas and Laris is just the shoplot right behind the shop of the main road.

 Typical pot for Malay cuisine to wash your hand before you dine.

 Menu on board!

Superb tomyum! with mix ingredients like squid, beef, chicken, prawn, etc. The tomyum taste is purely tomyum and it's spicy and sour enough. it's not ordinary tomyum you eat out there with tomyum paste and this is pure with assam jawa! woot woot!

 It's so cheap RM6 for a bowl of tomyum and you can add noodles without extra charges.. cool isn't?!

Sirap limau is a must!

They serve Nasi Dagang everyday from 8am-6pm and you can choose either to have a curry fish or curry chicken for your Nasi Dagang. I don't really fancy bout Nasi Dagang even I was from the east coast and can have this everyday, maybe it's because of the rice it's sorta hard haha and the fish taste which i dislike =P

It's my first time having Nasi Kerabu, reason being of the colors that freaks  me out but after knowing from Mune aunt, the purple color it's actually from the flower petals. This dish is also only serve from 8am-6pm

This is "budu" where it acts like a chilli sauce but in fact it is not spicy but sorta salty.

You have to mix the Nasi Kerabu with the rest of ingredient in the plate such as coconut, vege, peanut sauce and eat it.. the taste is somehow different with good aroma.

Zhi vern's favourite Laksam, even he had finished the plate of Nasi dagang and he can still finish 60% of this. The taste of the flour noodle is plain but with the fish gravy it was ok and me practically don;t really enjoy it hahaha...

Murtabak Diraja Kelantan! this is really good and you can only get it from Laris, due to the supplier it's really from the royalty and this murtabak is only cater for the royalty but now you got lucky coz you can have it now in Laris! as they able to engage with the royalty murtabak supplier ;)
Got no idea how should I describe the taste, but it was delicious with layers of meat. This is only a quarter of the normal size of royalty murtabak. Imagine how huge is the actual size ;)

You have to pair the murtabak with the marinate onion, it's also a recipe from the royalty supplier.

 

Mune join us later on enjoying his dinner after staring at me and Zhi Vern finishing all the main course as he said he just after gym so it's not good for him to eat immediately hahaha... He had "Mee Kungfu" which it's a fried "beehoon" with gravy. After you eat this you will be as strong as Bruce Lee! hai yaaaa katcha!

Thai Mango Sticky Rice is also one of Laris special desert. the glutinous rice is not so sweet as compare what we have elsewhere and you have to eat this pair with the coconut syrup to get a enrich taste of it ;)

Pulut Inti, it's also looks like "kuih koci". I love the coconut aroma roasted with "gula melaka" it's simply delicious ;)

Laris have take-away door delivery service as well for the residence in Solaris Dutamas ;)

It's located at SS2/61 in PJ. A middle shoplot located in the same row as Red Island cafe.

As usual for the typical way of eating frog porridge is plain porridge with frog but the specialty for Geylang Frog Porridge is that.... you will have a gravy frog pair with plain porridge.

And I'm going to show you how to eat it ;)

First, order a most popular Chilli Frog.

 And a plain porridge

You have to mix both of this together

 To get this...hahaha

You will not believe how delicious it was even you mix the gravy of the chili frog into the plain porridge and yea it might looks strange for us people in Malaysia, but believe me you will as for more ;) nice gravy, fresh frog! yummy! For 2 frogs is RM22 and a pot of plain porridge RM3

Muse Restaurant & Bar @ Jaya One

 

I will not aware bout Muse if i do not have a leaflet giving by their staff at the lift area. Saw their lunch promo which is Rm15++ and you can get a soup, a main course and a free drink! what a good deal.

The interior it's more like a bar, so I think maybe because of this no one dare to walk in during lunch.

Check out their air-con exterior, it's damn cool with the army prints!

 my cool look to match the green bottles ;) LOLx

 For the money you pay for and you can enjoy a good ambient with cutleries arrangement on table.

 I chose green tea as my drink and you can also chose ice lemon tea, soft drinks , etc

 Check this out RM15 with drinks and soup and the cutleries it's modern not those lousy one.. who say not worth to pay?!

 Fettucine Carbonara Beef Bacon. This is awesome! I love the crispy bacon in it and the carbonara it's not too rich and they add in some lime leave to balance the taste. It makes you crave for more, especially the crispy beef bacon ;)

 Macaroni baked cheese. Nothing much to shout for this as the taste is so-so only =P

Taste : 7/10
Value for Money : 7/10

Operation Hours:

Monday to Friday 12noon - 1am, Saturday & Sunday 4pm to 1am

Kita No Zen @ The Gardens Mid Valley

 It's a new japanese outlet in The Gardens, was there 2 weeks ago and the week before I dine there, they actually had open their store but not the restaurant. it's the same concept like the Zanmai group. Kita No Zen, it's also another sub company of Rakuzen coz their design is more or less the same hahaha and even the menu.

 Duncha feel that their interior looks like Rakuzen in Empire Subang?

 Open concept kitchen which is the trend for all restaurant nowadays.

 table ware

 Jay said my arrangement like praying for my soft shell crab handroll ^^

 Dinner beef set with sushi! you can have beef with rice and also the same time sushi. two crave in one time! what a good combination ;) and it's only RM36 if not mistaken ;)

 this is the side dish which comes with the dinner set and this octopus is tasteless and it's pretty hard to chew

 Unagi dinner set! a huge scrumptious unagi! worth the money! RM26 if not mistaken

 I love this picture a bowl of rice

 Dessert is the green tea ice-cream with waffle and it doesn't taste good and not worth the money RM8.80
