Revisit - KhunThai Restaurant @ Desa Aman Puri, Kepong

Whenever I saw any advertisement (cheap flight to Thailand) or news regarding Thailand, the first thing ever come into my mind is always their delicious, tempting food with full with aroma and flavor. Oh~ just by imaging it I already feel so heavenly...

I know that I had review this Khunthai restaurant this year, but the food is really worth going back for more. I know there is not necessary for the intro therefore, let straight away go for the food;

Tom Yam Seafood - RM23.00

I don't think there are a need to review for the soup already, after seeing the fresh seafood floating above and the hot piping charcoal which make the soup keep on boiling. Huh~ I wonder is hot or spicy now?  

Pandan Chicken - RM15.00

Well, this is one of they all time favourite dish which I saw most of the table ordering, so is tempting. The chicken is tender and marinated well, and this is the first time I saw the fried Pandan chicken added sesame seed, which had make the perfect combination.  

Kerabu Chicken Feet - RM12.00 

I think I would rather had Somtam / Kerabu Mango then this Kerabu Chicken feet, reason? I prefer sourly type of kerabu then the salty type. The chicken feet is tender and the taste is quite salty for me and is not even spicy so this dishes is just average. 

Umbra with Sour Plum - RM3.80

For a simple early dinner this time, we only order 2 dishes and a soup which is perfectly for 2 pax. As for drinks, I just have Chinese tea at 50 cent and my friend is trying their Umbra with sour plum. I believe is good since she enjoying the drink so much~ 

White Rice - RM 2.40 for 2 pax

I always love the way they serve the rice in an aluminum pot. Look so-Thai... hahaha~

As for the environment, with the Thai music and song, we will totally enjoy not only the food but the dinning experience with I think better than some of the restaurant I visited in Thailand. 

Inside the restaurant 

The outdoor hut 

The total bill come to RM60.10 inclusive of GST at 6% ( RM3.40). I really do enjoy this place and I rather choose to dine inside the restaurant because of the air-cond rather that the outdoor hut which I think is nice but I scare of the mosquito bite. LOL~

Dim Sum Kitchen @ Damansara Utama/Uptown Damansra

It seem like it had been a habit of mine to indulgence myself with dim sum during the weekend. Understood that not many place offer dim sum nearby damansara, except the famous Jin Xuan  restaurant which there had several branch and it was really pack with people every weekend morning.   Damansara Utama or I love to called it uptown which I remember during my university days, where use to hang out here and they even had the night market almost everyday. How I miss this place once upon the time?

Since I decided to try something new, therefore I wouldn't go for Jin Xuan restaurant for the dim sum, after making a round at uptown Damansara, we decided to dine in here - Dim Sum kitchen. Firstly, we are lucky to get a parking may be around 50 meters from the shop. Trust me, you will not even think of getting a parking here during the weekday, even no chance for one to double park too. At first I was quite surprise as there are not many people, but since I had decided, so let get sitted and start the indulgences.

Fish Ball - RM3.40

The fish ball is ridiculous small and disappointing. This is the fish time I saw such dim sum which had kill my appetite. Don't ask about the taste, it totally not worth to try at all. I also ordered, prawn dumpling (RM4.80),beancurd prawn roll (RM3.80), fried prawn roll (RM3.40) and stir fried carrot cake (RM4.50).

Stir Fried Carrot Cake - RM4.50

I would like to say that only the stir fried carrot cake is up to standard and it do taste nice. This is the only highlight of my dim sum breakfast for the day. Others, I am sorry to say that, it was way below my expectation and I am not border to take anymore picture of the food.

Overall, the bill come to RM21.80 which include of a pot of tea at RM1.50/pax. I understand one shouldn't have such a high expectations , however, I wish they could improve their Dim Sum. Lastly, all the review is based on my own opinion and experience at that point of the time.

Nasi Kandar Salam @ Damansara Perdana

This is my first time reviewing a so called 'Mamak Restaurant', if you are Malaysian and PJ-rang, I am sure you will know the most famous restaurant like Kayu Nasi Kandar or Syed. There are lots of Mamak stall or restaurant around KL or PJ and it always crowded, why? Because it was always the best place for youngster to hang-out and is reasonably affordable or  it suppose to be cheap when I was a kid. I seldom go for a meal in Mamak restaurant if I have a choice because I am not a Nasi  Kandar fans or I find their food is quite oily... (Scare fat lor)

If you seriously looking for dinner at Damansara Perdana on Sunday night, I will wish you good luck which most of the shop is close and the variety is very limited if you reach there after 8pm. Both me and my husband was attract by the newly open Nasi Kandar Salam which newly open with the big signboard which I don't think anyone will miss it. There are not much crowded when I reach around 8pm and we are easily get a sit and I saw they even giving free WiFi, this is definitely a hangout place.

Soup Kambing - RM6.50

Whenever I went to a Mamak restaurant or stall, the first question I would ask if they offer mutton soup. It always been my favorite since when I was kid. Some of the place did not serve the bread with the soup but this one does. It reminds me of the mutton soup I had during my Penang trip. 

Soup Kambing or Mutton Soup

Well, I really enjoy the soup which the spice and the mutton is so tender. The soup is really thick and creamy but luckily is not salty. It really one of the best so far I had since I move to Petaling Jaya area. Also, I have to agree, it do taste nice to dip the bread inside the soup.  

Nasi Goreng Kambing - RM8.00

Mutton or Kambing in Bahasa Malaysia, which had always been our favorite. My husband order this fried rice with mutton and can said it didn't look very presentable but the taste is superb. The most surprise me was the mutton is so tender and it didn't taste hard or dry. The fried rice might be slightly expensive for a dinner however, it had become our recommended dish where I seriously think it taste better than others Mamak Restaurant in PJ.  

Roti Telur Bawang - RM2.20

Since I never expected the mutton soup come with the bread therefore, I had order my usual Roti Telur Bawang or is a type of Prata with egg and onion. I usually had this or Roti Canai for my breakfast during my younger days which really make me fat as today. LOL~ if you ask me the to rate this Prata, I would say nothing special and it didn't even up to my standard, therefore, I will skip this for my next visit.

As for drink, I had Limau Ais/Lime with ice and my husband having his usual Teh Tarik, which both our drinks come to RM3.00. The total cost of the meal is RM20.90 inclusive of GST at RM1.20. Overall, the place had a good ambiance and there are more people hang-out at this place after 9pm either for supper or hang-out till late, since this restaurant is operating 24 hours.

Huang Di Noodle Palace @ Bandar Menjalara, Kepong

Wondering where to have a good meal but with limited budget especially during the month end? hahaha~ well, I understand how it feel, truly. I thought of having soup since it been almost a week that I did not have any, therefore after look around the net, both me and my husband decide to try Restaurant Siong Ben Soup House. It was located at Bandar Menjalara, Kepong and trust me the parking is really full and pack during lunch, after about 20 minute we finally manage to get a parking and we decided to have lunch at the Huang Di Noodle Palace instead because we park directly in front of the shop. There are another reason why we decide to dine-in there;

Whole Charcoal Roast Duck - RM19.90

Hahaha~ this is the exact reason, once we saw the promotion and it was unable to resist. As you may see the whole roast duck is not as meaty as expected and I had to agree, may be this duck is too thin but I do like the crispy skin, Does it remind us on the Peking Duck?

Shark Fin soup - RM9.90

I know some people are again having shark fin and I am not really fan of shark fin. However, that is the only soup on promotion so no harm trying. The soup is just so so and shark fin? I am not sure if it really shark fin or fish fin but still not bad since they serve it hot.

XO Chicken Feet - RM6.00

This is the only dish that I feel not worth, and the taste not my favorite, and is totally different from the picture. Besides, I think they might put too much wine or vinegar it make the bean-curd taste bit sour, well, it seem like is my husband favorite dish - chicken feet... 3 pieces of chicken feets + 4 pieces of beancurd, is it worth the price?

Herbal King - RM5.50/each

This is totally the King price, this herbal drink which cost me RM5.50 but trust me is really nice and smooth, if I not mistaken I do taste fresh shark fin melon with longan and lou hon guo. Not only it was refreshing but it really had open my appetite.

Another thing which I felt is quite pricey would be the rice at RM2.00 per bowl. They have lots regular whom come for for the noodles. Overall, the food is recommendable. Next time, I would be back for they noodles for sure. I think we make a good choice to try this restaurant after all and it must thanks to their big banner at the entrace.

shop entrance

I was impress on their COKE collection

My table number~ nice ler

The total bill come up to RM 50.80 with no service or GST charge. So far is still affordable right? The best thing happen is we happen to park in front of the shop because it was raining by the time we leaving, lucky perhaps?! Now, I do believe in fate, do you?  

    

Crayfish Party 2015 @ Ikea Restaurant

Staying nearby IKEA make me can't miss any food promotion form Ikea Restaurant.
I had mark my calendar on 14/08/2015, Friday to attend the Crayfish Party or I would say is another buffet offer by Ikea Restaurant. Since I did not purchase the ticket in advance, I actually quite worry if they are sold out but since I had learn from my previous experience on the Mid Summer Buffet, therefore I choose the first session which start at 5:30pm till 7:30pm instead the second session start at 8pm.

Sticker for the buffet entrance 

I reach around 5:30pm and it had started, so without delay I went to purchase the ticket at RM35.00 per pax and we are also given RM10.00 cash voucher to shopping at Ikea. Out of curiosity I went to the serving place and look for Crayfish. Wow, is really prawn with big craw. Wondering how to eat, after taking a full plate of food then I walk slowly to get a sit while looking at how other customer enjoying the crayfish.

Fresh Water CrayFish

'I look so fresh or so life?!'

well, since is my first time to have this and I really don't have any expectation towards this big hard shell prawn. The only part that eatable is the body, the head and shell are all discard so only left a small chunk of meat. Feel wasted right? I really wanted to try to tear open the craw but is useless and somehow I feel is empty. Besides, crayfish, there are also other side dish such as below;

Crayfish Party Menu

Crayfish

• Green salad, Cucumber salad, Hardboiled eggs with mayo and shrimp
• Shell on prawns

Breads

• Ikea Crispbread & Crisprolls
• Thin bread

Warm Dish

• Meatballs, Mashed Potatoes and Lingonberries 

Dessert

• Assorted cake and cookies
• Almond cake

Beverages

• Soft drink
• Hot Beverage (coffee/tea)

The variety is not much but the main is the 'Shell on Prawns' - crayfish which I still think is a catch.

The crayfish is fresh and tasty either you may eat straight or dip in any sauce is perfect. I had mine dip in the mustard sauce with lingonberries, yum yum~

Hello~

Looking at the crayfish head did remind me of the 'Sebastian' from the Little Mermaid story. It make me think are you mini lobster? or maybe the 'Sebastian' is a crayfish instead of lobster? Hahaha~ I am sorry as I know is very rude to play with the food but... only this one, k?

Overall, I did enjoy dinning in Ikea restaurant and besides the crayfish, my all time favorite is the Meatball and Almond cake, which is they signature and almost all the table having this 2 dishes without failed. I just hope they could remain the same price for next year so I can try again such a rare 'fish'~ cheers!!!

  

 

Shogun2u Delivery @ Klang Valley

If you all remember my visit to Saisaki Japanese Buffet recently, and I did mentions about this Shogun2u delivery. I have to admit that I try the delivery is due to the 50% off promotion during the Raya months for both main course and sushi. Let see, first - how to order?

 Overall the food taste quite nice and this is my second time order, even though my first time order is disaster which the food arrive after 4 hours but the second time is only late by 15 mins due to the rains. I got the fried bun for FREE due to the my previous order came super late and the bun taste super nice like the chicken Char Siew bun that put in deep fried with the crunchy skin.

I enjoy the chicken Teriyaki and Sushi and as for the Yakiniku beef is nice as well, all the main course serve with 2 slice of pickle and vegetable with the thousand island source.

Boat Noodle @ Empire Damansara, Damansara Perdana

Boat Noodle again?

Haha~ I know, another Thai food again. If you all remember that recently, I did visit a similar restaurant at Kota Damansara, Aroi Thai Boat Noodle. Actually, I had been to this Boat Noodle house in Empire Damasara for few times but yet I never review it.

This Boat Noodle restaurant is located at Empire Damansara, if you familiar with Damansara Perdana this wouldn't be something new to you, however, it actually located before the LHDN or next to the new hotel Qliq. Anyway, the best way is to find it >>> google map lor~ Sorry, as I am not good in giving direction.

The Entrance and Menu

Now, let see what I had;

Ka Num Toay - RM1.00/set of 2 pcs

I love this dessert so much, and they serve this dish first may be is an appetizer? Well, who care, since I always can't wait to try. This dish remind me of Kuih Talam, if you had this pandan and coconut kuih before trust me is the same in term of taste >> Sweet~

Beef/Chicken Pathumthani/Ayutthaya Rice Noodle - RM1.90 each bowl

Well, please don't ask me which noodle is which flavour now. I am also got confused, but I do believe the one with the sheered meat is chicken and the one without should be beef.  Hahaha~ well, I do love the unique taste of both flavour, either beef of chicken did not make any different for me. I do enjoy the mini serving and please don't deceive by the picture, the real serving is really small.

Order Guide

I, myself had 3 bowl for minimum. So can you guess how small is the serving? 

Grilled Beef Meat Ball - RM5.90/set of 2 stick

The beef meat ball do taste like the one grill in Thailand, I think the sauce do make a trick of it as well. the spiciness which blend with the sweet taste really make one craving for more. It had somehow, become my favourite now. I should have try the chicken meat ball next.

Ice Blended Thai Green Tea - RM8.90

As for the drinks, I settle wit the Ice Blended Thai Green Tea. Well, first it didn't taste like green tea but it delicious, the sweetness and the smooth of the ice blended which make the drink close to perfect. Even though is quite expensive for the drinks but I still think is worth to try. Since how often do we seen anywhere serve Thai Green Tea? 

Interior of the restaurant

Even though the place is quite small and crowded but they did a good job is their interior. It do give a retro feeling to the customer. Overall, the experience is not bad and I did go back from time to time. As for the final bill, me and my sister had total of 6 bowl of rice noodle @ RM1.90 each and others as shown above, the bill come to sub-total of RM27.20 and RM30.30 inclusive of 5% service charge and 6% GST. Still affordable right?

Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee @ Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya

Hokkien Mee is always been my favorite since I am kids. This dish is a very popular dish in KL even there are few good and famous restaurant or stall selling Hokkien Mee in KL. Some of the place even offer charcoal Hokkien Mee. Besides Hokkien Mee, sometimes I do craving for Loh Mee, and I don't know since when the Loh Mee had become my favourite instead of Hokkien Mee. I know there are few version of Loh Mee depend where you from, I like my Loh Mee that using big yellow noodles which the same noodle they use to fried Hokkien Mee. If you thinking the Penang or Singapore Loh Mee, I can tell you that this is totally different.

This restaurant had been in uptown since long ago when I first try their noodle I think should be somewhere 7 years ago. This place is still crowd at night especially dinner time, either weekend or weekday. So if you would like to drop by here for dinner, you might want to come as early as 5pm or 6pm.

Fried Rice for 1 pax - RM8.50

The fried rice as shown above, the taste is just so-so. I feel like it was slightly oily and the serving is not as big as expected, really just enough for 1 person. The ingredient is just simple and I only found 2 or 3 prawn inside. Nothing much to praise about. 

Loh Mee for 1 pax - RM8.50

This Loh Mee is totally, way under my expectation. When the noodle arrive, I was surprise and the first question prompt in my head is how come the white in colour? I even ask the staff to verify and they told me this is Loh Mee, and even hand me the vinegar. Once the first impression had kill my mood, I can tell you everything been sucks till the end. The noodle is just normal, the soup is tasteless and watery. Is a total failed for me and I don't understand how can they be famous?! may be is their Hokkien Mee alone is the best and which make them famous?!

The Restaurant Signboard

Their service is fast as there have lots of worker, and they even order using a smart-tablet, how advance. Our food is actually arrive faster than the drinks. Both me and my husband ordered Herbal Tea at RM2.00 each. The total bill come at RM22.25 inclusive of 6% GST at RM1.26 for our meal. I don't think I will be going back again. What a disappointed experience, and if compare with the first time I had my meal here, I would say it totally getting worst.  

However, my husband told me that they had a branch in Kota Damansara and the taste is much better than this. With the price that we are paying and overrated food, I definitely rather try others restaurant around Damansara Uptown which also offer Hokkien Mee as their signature dish as well.

Wun Nam Restaurant @ Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya

I come across this restaurant in one fine day, which I am sick and went to see doctor nearby. I pass by this place several time but never notice that is a restaurant here in Jalan PJU 8/5B, Damansara Perdana. Therefore, I told myself that I would like to try after I recover, so here I am on Friday night for dinner.

I was quite surprise they have quite a crowd for dinner. The restaurant is quite cozy and we manage to get a seat once entered the restaurant. The price in the menu is quite reasonable but some of the fish and seafood is not written any price, well, I guess is normal where they will follow market price. Since only both me and my husband dining therefore, simple dishes is just nice for us.

Claypot Fried Kangkung  - RM12.72 

Their signature dishes, fried water spinach in claypot. The staff highly recommend this dishes as a must and I saw most of the table also order it therefore, we decided to try as well. The water spinach is very crunchy and it not that old like I expected.  

Sweet and Sour Pork - RM16.96

The sweet and sour pork is just common and I think the pork is slightly overcook which make it slightly hard eat. If you ask me, I might not order this dishes again.

Old Cucumber Soup -  RM10.60

Lastly, we had the old cucumber soup, and this one is very nice. May be I am a soup person and I like the rich flavour of the soup and it do taste like double boil soup even though it written there steam soup. There are few variety of soup, and mostly it finish if you reach there late.

For drink, I ordered Chinese ice tea, RM0.53 and Herbal Tea, RM1.59 for my husband. Besides, we also have 2 rice at RM1.59 each. All the price above is inclusive of GST and the bill come to RM45.60 include of GST. So far the food and the price is still acceptable, however my revisit to the place recently which we ordered a fish which already cost us almost RM60.00 plus. 

If you around Damansara Perdana and don't know where to have your meal, especially with a family, friends or guest. I would suggest you may want to try this cozy restaurant. 

Overall, the food is quite a standard and the price is still affordable for me. The next door of the restaurant is selling wine, I wonder if we can have the wine and dine in there as well. Hahahaha~

Cheers~

Saisaki Japanese Buffet @ Wisma UOA II, Kuala Lumpur

Hello...
Sorry as been MIA for quite sometimes. Well, no worry I am just taking a break recently and now I am back with more review and updates. I am regretted to not able to review on the buffet that I had during Ramadan month and now even pass the Raya celebration already.

Anyway, I still want to review and share my experience on Saisaki Japanese Buffet. Well, nothing new and most of you had been there couple of time but for me, is was my first time having Japanese Buffet in Wisma UOA II,KL. The restaurant located at  1st floor of Wisma UOA II, if you are a first time there like me, you will wonder if you are at the correct place since the building is quite creepy after the office hour and most of the shop is closed. My husband and I reach there around 7pm, just before the buka puasa start. Upon reaching you are welcome and guide to the counter to pay first before seated. The price for the buffet on Friday is RM65.83 nett (inclusive tax).

The Entrance - taken from the cashier

The buffet selection

Personally, I like their interior which when I enter the restaurant is totally feel different compare to the outside which the Wisma UOA II is too quiet and dim as most of the shop are closed. The Sakura flower design really does give us the Japanese feeling. Since is Ramadan months, there also offer local delight or Traditional Malay food as well. With the Ramadan months, I can see there are lots Malay family waiting and having their buka puasa here.

My first thing to do in a buffet restaurant is to check on all the dishes available and my first thing to attack is my favourite;

Fresh Oyster and Scallop with Thai dressing

Heavenly the seafood is so fresh!!! I almost can't stop eating the fresh Oyster~ The Scallop is nice too and I find it quite a unique taste with the Thai salad. Thumb up~

Fried Seafood - fish, baby crab, scallop, mussel, oyster, bamboo clam & vege?!  

Did I mentions that I love Seafood? therefore, nothing going to stop me now... more seafood, from the deep fried to bake and even Kam Heong fried bamboo clam. Delicious...

Sugar Cane Drink and White Fungus with Sweet Dates Drink

As for drink, there are a wide selection and there are hot and cold too. Since I am more interested on their food, I only help myself with hot green tea and I also try some sweet drink as above. Well, it do taste nice and refreshing.

Steam Patin with Soy Sauce and Fried Tempura + Satay

The best fish I ever had, the Steam Patin taste so nice and the tag written Australia Patin Fish. Wow?! As for tempura is not bad and there have quite a variety. 

Lala and Mix Teppanyaki

Since we are getting full, therefore the food order getting smaller portion. I really enjoy the food there and I feel the freshness of all the food either raw or cooked. It make me drooling even while I blogging about it.

Soup - Buddha Jump Over the Wall & Shark Fin soup

If I not mistaken, there are 3 variety of soup to choose for, Buddha Jump Over the Wall, Shark Fin Soup and Fish Head Soup. All of them are my favourite but there are a limit with my stomach. I love the shark fin soup, it was so nice and I can taste every slice of the shark fin. 

Grill Seafood & Cawanmushi 

more food?! Since is a buffet.... why not? after trying all the seafood in variety cooking style, I just realise this is a Japanese buffet, therefore sashimi is a must. I have to give up on the sushi even though they look so tempting but I already reach my limit.

Sashimi & Fruits

Finally, dessert. I like the coconut jelly, it do look transparent and you might not realise in the picture since the place is white in color. Look up closely at the Kuih Talam, next to it is the coconut jelly.

Local Dessert - Herbal Jelly, Kuih Talam and Coconut Jelly

Ice-Cream 

They had 8 variety of ice-cream to choose, for me I like my ice-cream with some fruits and peanut. They also had Cendul and ice-kacang (ABC) DIY at nearby the drinks corner.

Overall, most of the food is up to my expectation and for a buffet, I never expect the food to be this delicious. All the food is very well prepare and most important is the freshness of the ingredient which bring out the prefect flavor to all the dishes. Honestly, now I understand why is the restaurant full house even though it located is such place. Well Done!!!

*ps; By the way, we get free premium membership to sign-up for Shogun2u delivery, and I did try it recently and will share with you guyz later.
