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~

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 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.

Midsummer Buffet @ Ikea Restaurant

I forget to post about a buffet that I had last month...
If you are an Ikea Family member, I think you had already known or even went to Midsummer Buffet on 9th June 2015. Let start by how I getting know about this buffet, from email of course.
This is what I received.

Tempting right? Who can resist???

So out of curiosity, I went to Ikea and bought the ticket for 2 pax (me & my hubby of course). I bought the ticket as earlier on 28 May, so I can get the early-bird price at RM30.00/pax with the cash voucher of RM20.00/ticket. Is so worth right?!

RM30 for buffet with RM20 voucher

After a long wait and thinking how would it like and don't know what to expect so I am excited on the actual day.We had choose the second session which is from 8pm till 10pm. We reach there as early as 7:45pm and there already a super long queue. Wow... it really scary. I am so hungry and had to wait in the long queue and saw people taking a few place and from what can I see is the buffet place is so small and people in the queue are not moving.

After half an hour queuing, finally I reach the place where we had the plate, after taking 2 plate of each of us. Patiently queuing to get the food. May be due to I am too hungry, I am trying to fill everything in my plate and actually starting eating some biscuit while in the queue.

Hungry fest after queuing for half an hour

I believe there are no need to comment of the food, as expected from Ikea Restaurant. The food is yummy and very filling. To my surprise, I am full after finish my plate and looking at the salmon ball I feel so guilty if I end up never finish it. The variety of the food is not much choices but we did enjoy the food. 

If you ask me which would be my favorite, of course the meatball and salmon ball. I hope they will have another buffet like this again. 

Ps; I received an email that Ikea Restaurant is having the Ramadan Buffet as well. ^ ^  

Hee Lai Ton Restaurant (Pudu) @ Shaw Parade, Kuala Lumpur

This restaurant is recommended by one of my husband friend. Understand that he love dim sum therefore I follow to join the food - eating. This Hee Lai Ton Restaurant is located at 3rd floor, Shaw parade, Jalan Changkat Thambi Dollah off Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur.

We went there during the weekend, so I already assume it will be difficult to get parking - for car and table - for dim sum. So I take my own sweet time to reach there around 10am and lucky enough I manage to get a parking inside Shaw Parade and a table once I reach the restaurant. Once we seated, we are asking us to order by filling the quantity in a form. My husband ordered a tea for 2 pax, and been waited more than 10 minutes before we ask the captain for the tea to be serve.

Finally the Tea serve and the sauces 

Well, I understand the place is crowded and they are running full house but their service is really can't comment at all. We pass the order which written in the form given to us earlier and patiently wait for the food to be serve. Well, we only order 4 type of dim sum which I saw the portion is quite big.

Fried Eggplant Roll - RM6.80

Crystal Har Kau - RM7.50 

Har Kau with Vege - RM7.50

Premium Beef Ball-RM8.00

You might be surprise with the Premium price, as I was stunned a bit when I go though the order form. Once I feel the service is poor therefore, I am quite reluctant to stay long in the restaurant. The serving is quite big and among the four dim sum I order, I love the Fried Eggpland and the Beef Ball the most. Especially the Fried Eggplant which is something different and the taste of the crispy eggplant really appetizing.

The bill come come out at RM39.10 with 6% service charge and 6% GST. Even though is pricey but with the portion they offer I think is more suitable if you come with a big family or group. Else, you can't even order much and you might be getting full pretty fast with their big portion. When we left, I realise they had a hall next door which serving full moon lunch. That might be one of the reason why they are sort of staff.
