Food Review - Pizza San Fransisco

Friday night as usual is the eat out night and last Friday was not an exception. We wanted to go western that night and just then we thought of the pizza place at the junction of BBB going towards the Seremban highway. This place is called Pizza San Fransisco.

We noticed this place is always packed with customers and now we not why. Let me share with you our experience here.

This place is super fast and the employees here are VERY friendly, polite and courteous. I mean this and felt so welcome here. They also took the time to explain about the menu should we don't really understand. Al maklumlah, akak nie kan melayu...so menu org putih kadang2 tak paham....

This is what we ordered...

The nachos

Strawberry float
Mushroom soup with garlic bread

Spaghetti bolognese - the food was really presentable, tak sempat ambik gambar, the cuties were already mixing this

The pizza
The dessert - cheese cake

The cuties had a great time, the food was excellent and awesome!

And my ratings....5 for all!!!!

Food Review - Nasi Lemak Ayam Kampung Bandar Baru Bangi

Last night, I was so exhausted coming back from work that this was written all over my face. I was also thinking what should I cook for the cuties and would prefer to just prepare simple dish since I was not really in the mood to cook.

Seeing this, my better half suggested for us to eat out instead. Usually, I am against the idea of eating out except for our usual Friday night happy hour. But, I know I have very limited energy that night, and thinking I have to fold the clothes as well, I accept his idea.

Next predicament, where to eat...We drove around BBB and came across this place near the Tasik Cempaka, BBB called Nasi Lemak Ayam Kampung. The ambiance is interesting, exactly next to the lake.

I know I am supposed to be on diet but I did not have any food during the day except for a very light breakfast so I thought I can have a plate of Nasi Lemak Ayam Kampung(nie kira statement penyedap hati, padahal, no rice langsung sepatutnyer)

My better half and my princess had the same dish I ordered while my hero ordered a plate of spaghetti bolognese. My baby, who just had an early dinner at my mom's place, settled for a Pau Kaya.

Now the review :

Ambiance - 3 -Love it at first until the mosquitoes there start assaulting my feet.

Taste - 3.5 - The sambal was awesome. The rice was ok and the ayam kampung was cooked to perfection, not too crispy and not too soggy, just right

Location - 3 - great location, right in the middle of BBB

Service - 3.5 - fast and courteous.
Price - 3 - reasonable, we felt that it's the right price to charge

To those who live in BBB area, why don't give this place a try. They have variety of menu from Nasi Lemak to Western food. They also serve Char Kuey Teow but the time we went, that stall was closed. Children would love it there, but careful. Jangan bagi anak2 terjun tasik dah ler...

Selamat Menjamu Selera!

Food Review - De Palma Cafe

Why were the cuties looking so restless. Did Liza wrongly put the title for this entry...Isn't it supposed to be the food review entry...

Well, this was our wedding anniversary dinner. Not really planned cause we thought to have a simple affair this year. Just dinner and presents were not made mandatory (though my better half cheated by getting me a very nice name card holder and he argued because he thought I need that for my job, ye lah bang!). We don't have a good idea where the dinner should be. Then, I remembered while driving around BBB, I saw this De Palma Cafe located in the PKNS building. If I'm not mistaken, this is part of the De Palma Hotel management.

We arrived there around 8.05pm. There were not many people around which we were so glad thinking we will not have to wait so long for the food. How wrong was thought.
Baby had mushroom soup which arrived 30 minutes after we ordered. And that my friend, is only mushroom soup.

My hero ordered buttered chicken rice and came 15 minutes after baby's order. He was starving and immediately digged in the food. He did not talk to anyone while eating, pandang kiri kanan pun tak. That's how hungry he was. Similar to my princess who ordered Chinese Fried Rice. Sampai tak sempat ambik gambar the food dah habis.

I ordered this sour sop juice and rib eye steak. Arrived over an hour after ordering. My appetite has been spoilt so did not actually enjoy the food.

And why no food for my better half? Well, he did order the ribs which did not arrive even after all of us finished our food. So, he went to the counter and calmly told the waitress to cancel the order, went on to pay for the food and we left after that.

I know him and if it's not our anniversary dinner, he would have gone beserk there and then.
The review? Tak payahlah, not worth reviewing food, tak kiralah the quality of food, and the you wait forever waiting period.

Food Review - D Asria Garden Cafe

Yet another food review....

As usual, Friday nite is the eating out nite. And usually we will choose new venues for this occassion.

This time around we had dinner at this place in Bangi Lama called D Asria Garden Cafe. We drove by this place a couple of times but did not really stop to try the food there. One reason, this place only opens 4pm to midnite and we usually drove by this place during the day.

We ordered quite a number of dish. Siakap Masak Cili, Tomyam Campur, Paprik Campur, Sotong Goreng Tepung and Telur Dadar. Not to forget, Kerang Rebus.

This place offers quite an extensive menu selection. Not only the Thai food menu, there's also Nasi Lemak Ayam Kampung, Nasi Bubur and many more.

Now the review :

Ambiance - 3 - nice and cosy, they have this man made waterfall which I find blends well with this place
Taste - 2 - quite dissapointing. The tomyam was too sour and the fish was not fresh. You can really feel the taste of fish just left the freezer
Location - 3 - ok, just about 15 minutes drive from our home. But, need to really look cause the road there is quite narrow
Service - 3.5- excellent service, fast and courteous. If only this was complimented with good food
Price - 3 - considering the food was not that good, I find the price was really on the high side.

Overall, I don't think we are coming back here. Not worth the money lah.

Food Review - Vacation @ KB - Yati Ayam Percik

The final nite @ KB was the nite where we were searching for another good dinner at KB. I went to this one place while doing some work at KB before, so I thought that would be a good place to go for dinner.

The place is called Yati Ayam Percik. It's about 5 minutes drive from our hotel and when we reached there, the place was quite pack.

The cuties were excited watching the chicken and beef being grilled right in front of their eyes.

We ordered Nasi Kerabu accompanied with Gulai Kawah, Ayam Percik and Daging Bakar. The food was as good as how I remembered it to be.

My better half just couldn't resist to try one of the dessert. He said it was awesome!

Now the review :
Taste - 3.5 - suits my taste very well
Location - 3.5 - not having to drive that far was very ideal for us Service - 3 - oklah, but mcm slow skit
Price - 3.5 - very worth the money, cheap!

It's quite sad to leave KB the next day. We pledged to come here again and this time with more money...for more shopping!!

Food Review - Warung Dusun Sup Gear Box

We are preparing for our family vacation. We planned this since January which is something we don't usually do for vacations. Usually we would be the pack-and-go type but we thought no to risk it as the place that we planned to visit is hours away from Bangi.

So, we decided not to stock up the fridge and to cook whatever is available during the day and to eat out for dinner. We are ok with this arrangement as it is only for 2 days.

We often drove by this venue, right after the Kajang-Bangi PLUS to exit but never had the chance to really stop and try the food here. This place was also recommended by my better half's colleagues. So, we thought to give it a try last night.

What can I say, I was not dissapointed. We ordered white rice, sup gear box(the speciality here), paprik campur, ayam goreng kunyit, telur dadar and kerang rebus. My baby did not feel like having rice so she had mee hailam instead. The service was superfast! There were quite a crowd in the outlet but we waited less than 10 minutes for our food and I am not kidding nor exegerrating. That is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And yours truly was very surprised and was not able to hide her happiness considering she did not eat anything the whole day so that she can have a nice dinner.
The ambiance was very nice. With waterfall and everything, the cuties enjoyed it.

The main dish, Sup Gearbox. Was having trouble explaining to the cuties the gear box name origin and as usual I will just respond - Soalan tu susah lah, tanya papa jer lah.

My hero trying the straw thing which he did not enjoy at all. But for my better half, this was his favourite part. I was trying to explain to him on the calories content and cholestrol but he just ignored me and kept on sipping.

Now the review :
Taste - 3.5 - not too bad, love the soup but the paprik kureng skit. The kerang were really fresh though
Location - 3.5 - very convenient, we can choose the trunk road or the highway
Service - 4.5 - SUPERFAST and to our disbelief!! And before you ask, the food was hot and freshly cooked, I know, I can tell
Price - 4 - not bad. For all that we ordered with drinks, it costs us RM41.

So, care for Gearbox, mari ler ke Bandar Baru Bangi.

Food Review - Haji Rony Tomyam

As usual, Friday nite is the eating out nite for our family. I wanted to blog about this earlier but forgotlah! Last Friday we had our dinner at Haji Rony Tomyam & Seafood.

Sorry the picture is not so clear. I forgot to bring my camera so was using my better half's mobile to take the photo

This place was introduced by my former boss and we have been frequenting it since then. It's located at Jln Kuchai Lama right after the exit of NPE. It's just next to the old Pondok Polis Kuchai Lama. There are many stalls there but this one located right at the corner.

The speciality of this place is the ikan siakap masak stim. I don't usually eat steam fish cause takut rasa hanyir. But, here it's different. The steam fish is so nice and the gravy is simply awesome.

We will also add on sotong goreng tepung, tomyam and telur dadar. That's the usual.

The price is very affordable. For all that we ordered plus the large glass of fruit juice, it costs us RM42. Not bad for KL area.

Now the review
Taste - 3.5 - for this visit but usually the taste deserves 5 points, tukang masak tak sihat kot
Location - 4 - quite convenient for us now as we will go through this road to go back to BSP
Service - 4 - fast and courteous
Price - 4.5 - very affordable...mmg murah

And before you ask....No, I don't know who is Haji Rony :)

Food Review - Umbai Seafood Galore @ Melaka

The moment we have been waiting for...Okaylah, at least, the moment I have been waiting for. The main reason why we decided to be in Melaka. Of course, to have a seafood fiesta at Umbai. Very famous and well know for the fresh and delicious seafood.

We left after maghrib prayers and the place was already jam packed. We felt it's gonna be difficult to get a parking space so we parked quite a distance from the makan area, in front of the nearby houses. It was about less than 10 minutes walk to the place.

We were recommended to visit the first stall called D Muara. We managed to get a place to sit and when my better half and I wanted to choose what fishes and seafood to have, we were denied from our right to order(haiyoo, why sound so serious), apparently the kitchen couldn't cope with the current orders. So, we decided to change to another restaurant, and the only place that have table for us was at the last stall, called Parameswara.

We ordered butter prawn, lala masak pedas, sotong goreng tepung, ikan jenahak bakar, sup cendawan and of course eaten with of course nasi lemak! When all the food arrived, we thought...banyak giler! Sapa nak makan nie...

Actually, the food was finished selicin-licinnyer...Yup, I forego my diet for this one night. Seminggu sekali takpe, make sure buat heavy work out tomorrow to burn all those calories.The total bill was only RM100. That was below than what we expected. Now the review :

Taste - 4 - really sedap! We were afraid we will be dissapointed since we did not eat at the recommended stalls but we were so please with the food! Hingga menjilat jari!
Location - 3.5 - Ok, if you are already in Melaka, I admire those those who are willing to drive for good food, wish I have the guts to do that. And this place that we ate, it was facing the river so the breeze was really nice
Service - 4- fast even there were many customers around
Price - 4 - cheap, we thought it will come to at least RM200....

What I learnt today?

It was a good thing we have this family bonding thingy before we start with a New Year where life will be back to the normal hecticness. And wanting to ensure I keep one of my New Year resolution, I have started to make early planning of the holidays in 2009. Again, work just need to stop when it's time to be with family!

Food Review - Village View, Bangi

This entry is not only for the food review, this entry also done inconjuction to my better half's birthday celebration we had last night. We chose to go to this place as it was recommended by Mrs Green. For those living in Bangi area, this place is located near Soho and the furniture centre, behind Petronas.

I have pre-ordered earlier just to be sure we don't have to wait for the food. I was also told this place can be quite packed so we better make reservations.

We arrived around 8.30pm and not even after 3 minutes upon our arrival, the food was served. And the food was still hot!

This is what we ordered
Tomyam Campur

Ikan - we ordered 2 type, one is Siakap Masam Pedas and the other one, Kerapu Ladprik

Sayur campur, sotong goreng tepung, paprik campur and telur dadar...of course with sambal belacan.

The cuties simply love this place as it is surrounded by fish pond full of japanese cub(betul ke spelling nie). The view was nice and reflect the name of the place, Village View.

Coincedently, my parents were staying at our house so it's so nice to have them join the celebration.

Now the review :
Taste - 4.5 - one of the best tom yam I have tasted and the fishes were really fresh

Location - 3.5

Service - 4.5 - the staff was polite and was also fast

Price - 3.5 - not bad...

Happy birthday sayang, hope you enjoyed your birthday present and celebration!!
