I highly recommend going to Damansara Uptown to this quaint little hawker cafe for several samples of their GuangZhou Roast Duck. Absolute heaven with the plum sauce. Drippingly juicy and succulent in every bite. Dangit,I'm making myself hungry now! Cheers!
Middle Eastern food has never tasted so good! Diners are treated to a gastronomic journey at alNafourah where the food is as authentic (methinks) as they get over here in KL in an extremely elegant setting with a choice of dining in their multiple private rooms or in the open dining hall. The entire setting and decor definitely does take ones breath away.
Lamb and chicken kebabs with dip.
Fish,chicken and lamb targine. There was also another steamed fish dish, but I failed to sample or take a pic of it, possibly because it was so good my colleagues lapped it all up before I had the chance.
Lamb rice baked in a pie. Wonderful!
The piece de resistance, garlic cream. Oh so heavenly! We had to order a few more helpings of it. I'm so glad Orpha requests for this. Really sets the tone for every dish I ate this with and brings the aroma and flavor to new heights. So light,frothy and aromatic, I ate it like it was ice cream. Just melts in your mouth. I gotta learn how to make this!
And between sampling all the delish delicacies, you can expect a belly dancer to pop in out of no where to entertain you with her moves and curves.
My almond and honey ice cream for dessert...oh sooo GOOD!
And the every anticipated Baklava to wrapped up the meal. Everything was so good and satisfying and despite our tummies filled to the brim and begging for respite, it was sad the meal had to eventually come to an end. Definitely a place not for the faint wallet.
Had lunch at this quaint dining establishment located on the ground floor atrium of the Pavillion. We arrived in the nick of time for their buffet lunch menu before they took it off in preps for tea-time and dinner. Think their lunch menu is available from 12pm to 3pm. Just the answer to a healthy ( and suppose to be light but...) meal. Love their selection of cold salmon and salad greens at the bar. My only gripe is that there's still no sign of any sliced radishes I crave that seems to be missing at every salad bar I've been to save for one particular restaurant called 'Sireh' I think, located on the ground floor of PJ Hilton. You can see what I live on. The pic with the huge slices of cheese is my friend,Ezat's plate. They even have hot soup, quiche and beef stew among the few hot food available at the bar. And dessert includes a couple of cake and cookie choices. Tea and coffee is included in the set menu. If memory serves me well,think the lunch buffet will set you back about RM 25++ per person. Quite worth the dollar considering shameful me cleared up the salmon plate prior to the last call. Lovely! My idea of a good lunch.
Definitely the place to take your loved ones. Wonderful ambiance, great food and great service. I was impressed with the wide variety of selection available at the buffet spread. Ok,here's how it works. The restaurant at Le Meridien/Hilton provides diners with the option of selecting a set course from about 6-8 choices on the menu. With that, the diners get to partake from the appetizer and dessert buffet spread and will expect a piping hot main course on it's way once the diners have had their fill of the appetizers which can range from sushi sashimi, to a variety of antipastos, hors d'oeurves, soup, seafood, salad bar, spare ribs, Indian cuisine, caviar and the list goes on. Here are 2 pics which we've selected from our table. The steak is juicy and succulent while my cod was wonderfully seared to a light and soft fragrant flesh with crispy outer skin,topped with eggplant chip and asparagus and cream sauce. Loveeellyyy! You have a choice of grilled prawns, chicken and even duck is on the menu if you prefer. The restaurant totes a very tempting chocolate fountain and beautiful spread of cakes and ice cream,cookies etc. Definitely well worth every penny and is quite affordable at the price range of RM 125++ per set on the menu. You can expect high quality service and excellent cooking from the cooking range.
Ok,I wanted to try out the sushi kit for so long and finally bought myself one from the Jusco supermarket. Here's the ingredients for the beer batter prawns. Excluding the parsley. Just focus on the tempura flour n beer. All good.
TaaDah! The results. Crunchy,tangy and wonderfully paired with the Japanese mayo.
And the ultimate sushi feast....check out the slices of salmon belly. Gorgeous! Always love the taste testing period....mum and Debs too.
Me giving good thick slices to the already bloated sushi rolls. Hey! It's my first attempt. Delish though nothing to brag about in terms of presentation and execution.
I bought some caviar cream paste to squirt on top of the sushi roll. Mum relishes on them.
Didn't take us long before we started devouring all of my hard work.
Here's a shot before the carnage. I made a simple butterhead,pumpkin seed and yellow tomato salad with dressing and lox on the side...accompanied with fresh sliced radishes and avocado. A nice healthy dinner if not for the prawns. A wonderfully satisfying and delicious meal.
Check out the variety of sushi dishes available during the promo. There were more which we chose from the conveyor belt,but was too busy eating them than shooting them. My favourite was the unagi sushi plate.
This one was set at the regular price of RM4 per plate. Egg stuffed salad thingy. Delish!
Tempura sushi. Wish it was a bit more crisp tho and warm...oh well...it's sushi. For RM2,can't complain. Can't complain at all.
My dear,salmon...where have you been all my life?
This lovely chap dishing out all the goods to us hungry customers. We got the seats strategically positioned right at the counter in front of the chef so we get first dibs at the chow. Very well,worth the wait for our seats.
Go into a shopping mall here and hopefully you're bound to find Johnny's Steamboat. A healthy alternative eatery thats affordable and and satifying. There are choices of set meals depending on the how many heads per party. And there's also the option of ordering a la carte dishes such as assorted noodles,rice and veggies. It's very ideal when it come to introducing a group of your friends to have a very enjoying meal while cooking for yourself. For 4 people,you could opt for the set steamboat meal which comes up to RM56++. Giving us the little extra allowance to opt for some dessert later. And they don't stinge on the dessert menu. I had the vanilla ice cream which washed down nicely with the hot soupy meal earlier.

Everyone having fun digging in and cooking their own food.
Aimo making a face.
My brother and sis-in-law,Carol, was so kind enough to cook dinner for us all last Saturday. And the menu spanned from totally greasy yet simply divine Baked Sea Tiger Prawns (courtesy of Carol's parent's from Sandakan) in Cheese and Olive Oil, very salty green veg in Oyster sauce dressing and roasted garlic, battered squid,egg omelette patties and black pepper beef in onions.
