My Cook Book @ Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara (CLOSED DOWN)

John had keep asking me to go to his restaurant and try out the food and last week it's the time where I gather friends to go over and try out.

The restaurant had filled with modern contemporary furniture and setting and it makes you feels like you're dining in a expensive restaurant.

 I like the clock, it's combination of kitchen ware.

Kick off with a few chilled sour plum juice where it claims to make it fresh everyday from the sour plum itself and here you go seeing Alvin sucking hard on the sour plum just like the ice-cream of the younger days. and if not mistaken this is selling at RM8.90

Eddy had ordered a hot lemongrass juice, and it's not nice if you did not add enough sugar to it.

We also ordered a few appetizer where the price range is from RM8.90 to RM11.90 whereby the dining experience for the appetizer is that you are paying low price for a fine dining course.

and we have the Yong To Fu, it's a mixture of tofu and meat which had blend in together

Cheese ball with potato, and it's not that yummy as I expected tho

The best appetizer I tried before and also trying again this time is the Black-Eye Pea Cake with Salted Egg Yolk and CookBook Chilli. This is really 5 stars rating!

Wen Hao had ordered a chicken rice and the gimmick is that the chicken is in a silinder shape and same goes to the rice and it comes with a chicken soup where that top piece looks like a tofu  but it's actually a process chicken!How cool is that?! and all this surprises element of the chicken rice is just at RM13.90, eventhough the taste of chicken rice is just like an ordinary chicken rice, but the presentation and walk through is awesome!

Me myself had ordered the weekly special Crispy Oyster Salad at RM15.90, the oyster taste like nangka and I love the overall taste! you taste the crisp of the lettuce, the fragrant of the oyster and the dining experience as well!

Last but not least, Eddy had ordered a curry noodle and the bowl is so cool, a huge transparent bowl, and yet to say their  food presentation is really amazing with the price you paying is low and the taste of the food and presentation is just so fine dining! good job My CookBook!

Ben's General Food Store @ Bangsar Village (I)

Been to Ben's since last two weeks ago and been busy after that which makes me got no time to update my blog.

My first impression to Ben's is that they are like a high school cafeteria, where they have a salad bar and also the seating arrangement is a sharing long table, where you will feel warmth and full of surprises coz you will never know who is sitting next to you.

I love the cutleries holder and their mineral water bottle too, it's like in a country homes

And the area for the crew to refill water is cool! "drinking water, NO HAND WASH" hahaha

Ok done with some introduction and here comes my appetizer from the salad bar, combo selection of Pesto Penne(RM8.90) and Caesar Salad(RM11.90) so total up is RM20.90 and the portion is as below and the Caesar Salad is gorgeous especially for the toasted bread and not to left out the fresh lettuce!

My main course of the day is Breakfast Pizza, which it consist of egg, sausages, bacon and cheese. It's like you having a big breakfast in a pizza way ;) RM19.90 and the pizza cutter is cool, you needs to roll it and cut it yourselves, a good gimmick tho

Besides a General Food Store they do have a store next door selling imported groceries with nice concepts too

The Apartment @ The Curve

Many people comment and said The Apartment food sucks! and after so long since it operate, finally I give it a try and also hoping that they had revamp their menu as what they suck previously.

The overall look and feel in the premise is cosy and comfortable with dimmed lights on and also homie furniture just like what they name themselves "The Apartment" 

I like their serviette with a nice print on it

Anyway, I saw a bunting of theirs promoting the Lamb Rack earlier on, so that come across my mind to order so Lamb Rack at RM38.90, the presentation of the dish is perfect and the taste of the herb was a awesome combination, last but not least the meat is so tender, definitely they had revamp their menu and recipe! and I'm craving for more lamb rack now!!!

Besides being a carnivor, I try to tame down and had also order a Jamie's Duck Pasta at Rm26.90(with a chef recommended sign) for sharing, from my opinion I think the the combination of duck meat and tomato puree does not blends well,  perhaps they can implement on this, but the taste is still edible not that bad tho, it just I expect to have more duck meat bites ;)

Before I forget their beverage is a bit pricey, for a glass of fresh juice with the selection of watermelon, mango, orange, etc it's RM12.50 and they do not serve plain water but mineral water which it pretty costly as well from 300ml at RM5 to RM12, so instead of ordering water, I'd choose a better option which is a Fresh Orange Juice hahaha...

William Itallian Mamak @ Taman Mayang had moved!

Last week I'm craving for William's, so I'd went to Taman Mayang and upon my arrival, i saw the location where William's is had been demolished!! I was wipe-out and start google it to search where is the new location of it and ta~da~ I found it and actually William's had moved to the shop lots area which is the same row with Tea Time coffee shop but there are at the other end of it.

As you can see William's is in a better environment now but still remian it's no signboard and menu style hahaha...

And there are plenty of seats now and more hygiene!

Had compile the picture into frame to make it more interesting. Tried their Seafood Spaghetti Carbonara at RM35. The taste is stills remain but their garlic bread is not fresh and it's cold and hard, not a go at all.

Richard just after work and had join me when I'm eating half way and he had ordered the Chicken Aglio Olio and the meat portion as usual is a lot and it's a bit spicy too on the spaghetti.

Nambawan @ Sri Manja PJ off old klang road (pork burger)

Wow it's been like 9 months i never come to Nambawan for their pork burger and saw some comments saying their pork burger price had increase from RM6.90 to RM9.90 but no I'm still paying RM6.90 for the big fat juicy pork patty burger! hehe..

And I bet still many of you might not find this place yet, so hopes this coordination helps you to find the location of Nambawan.

So here it is the Pork Burger in Nambawan with the price remains at RM6.90, still same big fat juicy ones ^^

Their menu is getting lesser as compared to my last visit on September 2010, but they do have specialty on the day where we also ordered a mushroom soup which they have it and it was so smooth and creamy and it just for RM3.40

Once more specialty of the house on last Saturday it is the Pull Pork Burger at RM9.90 and this is really irresistible! The aroma is good with the fragrant of the meat on how it was cook. Totally a must order if they have it for the Today's Special.. Totally no regret!!

Their beverage is cheap too for a big mug of Orange Juice at Rm3.90 but a bit tasteless hahaha and the Wheatgrass Juice at RM2.50 and it stills taste like the same as you can find in other coffee shops
