Dim Sum @ Blossom Restaurant, Swiss Garden Spa&Resort Kuantan

Last Sunday, me and my family had our breakfast at The Blossom in Swiss Garden Spa & Resort, Kuantan. This restaurant served dim sum during the weekends, to avoid disappointment with vast human traffic, it's better to be there early says before 10am.

In Kuantan, there are not many nice dim sum places for breakfast and people usually go to MS Garden Hotel or Zenith Hotel that open just recently, avoid Zenith dim sum but that's another story.

This was my second time in Swiss Garden and wow they did good in surprising me with more than an ordinary dim sum menu. Why? They are serving "xiao loong bao" now! and it's really something hard to come by in Kuantan. Taste wise they are still some margin to left par with... say Ding Tai Fung or Dragon-i. 

Nevertheless, Blossom do serve the ordinary prawn dumpling and siew mai as well..

Oh ya they have this spring roll in squid shape, just another gimmick on presentation but they will need to add more flavor to give it a kick.

Besides, they also have smoked duck dumpling but I'm disappointed with it because I can't taste the smoked duck.

Last but not least, thank god there is this Charcoal Egg Tart was there to save the day. I just can't get enough of it and I had all three tarts by myself! And I'm craving for it now! Uurggghh

As usual ala carte menu from RM5.90 and additional RM3.90 for soup, beverage and dessert

Choice of beverage range is from coffee, three layers tea or jasmine or ice lemon tea or etc..

We ordered a Nelson Tan Sausages Omelette Spaghetti at RM7.90, it looks interesting uh?! about the taste it's edible

We also ordered ordinary dish like Creamy Fish Fillet Rice at RM6.90 and their cream sauce taste different as compare what we used to have, but it's not a wow either

Hwangsil Korea BBQ @ Damansara Neo, D'sara Perdana

Scratching head of what to eat and what I'd just did last week is that, I walk down from my apartment and walk across to Damansara Neo and try out a Korean BBQ which is Hwangsil Garden

At first I thought not many people would know this place since it looks pretty isolated hahaha.. but who knows there's actually Korean who dine here.

The best thing in Hwangsil is that you can order 1 type of BBQ meat instead of 2 types! so I'd ordered a Pork Belly at RM25 and had grill it at another stove instead of in front of us and just serve us the pork belly once they had grilled it.

And before we are being serve with our pork belly we thought that we will not be serve with their regular appetizer/cordinments but we were wrong and ta~da~ they just serve along it when they serve the pork belly hehe..

 love this anchovies, it's crispy

 steamed egg is FREE

Besides the pork belly, we had ordered a Sundubu Jigae(hot soup with tofu) at RM18 and it comes with a white rice so we save up RM5 for one bowl of rice hehehe

At the end of dinner, we was served with watermelon and also a complimentary beverage which either a cinnamon tea or ice coffee and we had chose Cinnamon tea and it was soooo sweeet and it's rich with cinnamon taste.

Bird Man Cafe & Restaurant @ The Strand Kota Damansara

Guess what I'd return to Bird Man again and this time it's with my beloved Joo, I knew she's unhappy and at the same time she is having her off day. Anyway had a good conversation with her and we enjoy our lunch in Bird Man and sadly do not have any real Birdman perform for us hahaha opps oooops

Anyway Joo had ordered a Pepperocino with Green Mussels at RM16.90 and it's really rich in pepper!

And as for me I'm not having a very good appetite the other day maybe I knew I had a sinful dinner on the same night so I keep it simple and ordered a French Toast with hard boiled egg at RM5.90(if not mistaken or might be cheaper) I love the taste of the toast and the combination it's just awesome ;)

Betty's Midwest Kitchen @ Aman Suria

Jeng jeng jeng... back to Betty's Midwest again and last Tuesday is my 4th times and had dine with Pam and Maggie and we had try out something else even how much Maggie missed the Pull Pork Burger hahaha...

We was given a complimentary Dog Food(fries with gravy and cheese) at RM9 it's because our previous visit we wanted to order it but the stove is not working so then was told we will get a compliment Dog Food on our next visit keke... The taste was a little cheesy and Maggie loves it!

We also crave for their pork ribs! yummmmmmy! it's the Soft Pork Ribs (400g) at RM29.50. It was really tender and the sweetness of the marination is fantastic! you'll definitely ask for more hehe...

We had also try out th Beer Boston Pork(marinate with beer, really!) at RM27.50 the meat it's really juicy and tender and don't worry you'll not get drunk after having this hahaha.. guess wart?! once you slice the meat, the meat will just melt!

All of us is pretty satisfy but still have some sweet tooth but not Maggie, co she does not like sweet stuff, so after awhile some digestion progress, me and Pam had decided to order a Apple Crumble with ice-cream at RM8. The vanilla ice-cream is so rich and the apple crumble is a bit warm and both combination is just awesome! and I have some models with the apple crumble too, check it out ;)

 Pam with tiny boobies, opps =P

 ta~da~ with Maggie and my hair is so ugly right now hahaha

Bird Man Cafe & Restaurant @ The Strand Kota Damansara

What is your first impression when you see such a shop name?

My first impression is that.... what shop is this even they said it's a cafe and restaurant but I'm still doubt it's a decent place looking at the signage like this, despite I'm surprise that the interior it's pretty stylish.

Anyway I'd went in and explore during my lunch on last Monday and guess wart? they actually serving a pretty good lunch set menu starting from the price RM5.90 and additional RM3.90 for beverage and dessert/fruit

 

 

I'd ordered a Black Pepper Chicken Rice at RM5.90, the taste is edible even I don't taste much of the black pepper sauce but it's good enough for the overall taste

Oh ya before I forget, it actually comes with soup as well either the choice of mushroom soup or tomyum.

And Ms Mah had order a Unagi Rice at RM15.90, not worth the money to eat this with the portion of unagi and actually the actual name for this dish is longer and I couldn't remember hahaha sorry =P

Joseph @ Kitchen @ Solaris Dutamas

Over the weekend, I'd went to Jospeh Kitchen for a late lunch as I had some appointment going around on that day. Deric had brought me to Joseph Kitchen where we almost lost our way coz Solaris Dutamas it's not fully constructed yet and it's stills in a messy environment with construction works still going on and messy parking. But luckily Joseph environment it's pretty cozy.

Anyway, we had decided to Joseph and I'd ordered a refreshing juice where it consist of passion fruit and fresh orange and obviously it's a thirst quench drink and it's not bad tho.

I'd alsp ordered a tomato base marinara spaghetti, and I found that the tomato base taste somehow makes me feels that the more you eat the more unpleasant feeling you had and the spag is getting dry. This main course is around RM15

Deric had ordered a vegetarian fried rice RM12, I tasted the wedges and it was awesome and for the fried I think there's too much of pepper in it.

Last but not least, we had ordered their Raspberry Cheesecake and it was yummy and fresh and was told if it's not fresh, it will not be charge and they have limited piece only, so be early! hehe
