Food Review - Roma Pizza

I am not a pizza person. The overswhelming taste of cheese sometimes make me dizzy and high. Hence, I would usually avoid having pizza especially those with cheese. However, this time around I made it an exception since I am having lunch with someone whom I hardly meet nowadays due to work commitment. Sorry Fadzillah, sibuk skit lah sekarang.

Hence, I wanted to eat at somewhere is not that crowded and where we can talk and do some catching up. I suggested this place located in Avenue K called Roma Pizza.

Roma Pizza is a small outlet but the ambiance is very nice and comfy. Not too many tables located in the pizza place and they have more outside the place. They also have this bar stool like table which create a casual scenario.

What special about this place is the pizza is served on a plank. Very unique which you don't really find in other pizza place. Other places usually served on a pizza pan - biasa je lah.

I love the BBQ Chicken Wing here. The dip is also nice, the normal chilli sauce with added spices and herbs. Awesome!

Ambiance - 3.5 - love how they decorate this place, very suitable if you are having lunch with friends

Location - 3 - Strategic!! Just next to KLCC LRT station.
Taste - 3.5 - prefer the pizza here, very crispy and

Service - 2.5 - lembab skit ler, pastu mcm tak pay attention jer....

Price - 3.0 - for this kind of food, I don't mind paying....

Try this place. You won't regret it!!!

Food Review - Harrods KLCC

I always love Harrods. Back when I was younger and still enjoying my dad's entitlement working with MAS, we went to London quite frequent. Apart from visiting Asda, Queen Anne and other locations, Harrods was another venue which is a must to visit.

So, when I heard Harrods KLCC is opening, I was very excited. I miss all the trips we used to have and having to have one store which I adore right beneath where I work is something I really look forward to.

However, I was quite dissapointed. The variety of products were very limited and it looked like a bakery rather than a real Harrods. What do I expect? If I want a real Harrods, it should be as big as Suria KLCC kan?

Anyway, one day we went to have our lunch there. Never felt so English before. Again, the menu was very limited and not really suit the Asian taste. I guess they really bringing the authentic Harrods to Malaysia.

I had the roaster chicken while a friend of mine had this beef steak with this custard thingy, entah apa namanyer, forgot lah.

The review :

Ambiance - 3 - not too bad, overlooking the KLCC water fountain
Location - 3 - If I am already in KLCC, convenient lah.

Taste - 2.5 - dasar perut melayu so not really to my liking
Service - 3 - very polite and courteous, however, the food was a bit slow and I was really starving!
Price - 2.0 - mahal siut. Meals for 3 person was RM160!

I will only come here again if someone else is paying. Otherwise, makan kat food court jer ler.

Food Review - Bangi Kopitiam

Kopitiam, kopitiam, every where you go there's kopitiam with all kinds of name. Oldtown lah, new town lah and many more to mention.

However, the kopitiam I am gonna talk about is the Bangi Kopitiam located in Bandar Baru Bangi. Was told this place is owned by Kid, the former Search guitarist. Not sure how true this is and was made to understand this place also have several outlets in the city.

This review is a combination of 2 visits to this place. First one was just me and my better half and the other visit was with the cuties.

The first visit, we ordered Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang, toast bread with scrambled eggs and bread with chicken curry. And of course, what's a visit to kopitiam without having the kopi o kaw!

The second visit, we had mee hoon hailam, nasi ayam hainanese, asam laksa, toast bread with half boiled eggs on top and toast bread. Having difficulty to load this photos, will do so once I get the freaking internet to work here in BSP.

My ratings :

(4 being the highest)

Taste - 2.5, ok lah, not up to my expectation but not too bad either

Ambience - 3 with real kopitiam ambience, the furniture and decorations were suitable.

Location - 3 suitable with ample parking.

Price - 3 oklah, not too bad just like other kopitiam's pricing.

Will I come here again, maybe if I am craving for the kopi o yg memang kaw and the tasty toast bread with butter and kaya. The rest, not so lah.

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 - Warung Kak Aishah, Bandar Baru Nilai

We have ran out of ideas on what to eat. We had tried practically most of the outlets in BSP and don't feel like driving to BBB.

My better half just drove around Bandar Baru Nilai in search of food. We were starving, the clock showed 3.15pm and we have yet to have our lunch.

Then, while driving to Desa Melati(yer kot, forget2 remember lah!), we came across this place called Warung Kak Aishah. We saw quite a big crowd here, and assuming the food must be good since many people were enjoying their food.

My hero and princess ordered Laksa. Sedap!!!

My better half and my baby had Nasi Ayam. Biasalah, perut melayu, tak dapat nasi tak sah.

While I ordered Kuey Teoe Goreng and requested for this to be extra spicy.

We also ordered ABC, suitable for the hot weather.

If you noticed, my hero ordered Laksa kan but now he is eating Kuey Teow. After he finished his laksa he tried my Kuey Teow and love it! So, he ordered another one.

So, the review :

Ambiance - 3 - oklah, just like the typical gerai place

Location - 3 - Along the shoplots so quite convenient. Parking will not be a problem.

Taste - 3.5 - excellent, memang sedap giler!!

Service - 3.5 - excellent! fast and sopan sungguh

Price - 3.0 - not bad. for this good food, very affordable.

Will surely make another trip to this place again. The kuey teow goreng is to die for!!!

Food Review - Breakfast @ Bangi Lama

We(ok lah, I didn’t, only my better half and the cuties went as I have my own gotong royong at home which is more important!) attended this gotong royong organized by the resident of our neighbourhood. This event was officiated by the Adun of our area. It started very early, around 7am. Sape lah yg bangun tidur pukul 7am on a weekend kan? Well, not me! I will always go back to sleep after solat subuh.

They went to the gotong royong around 8.30am which was a good thing cause the gotong royong only started around that time. Kalau sampai awal, jenuh ler nak tunggu.

The gotong royong ended around 10 and coincidently, my gotong royong at home ended around that time. So, it’s time for breakfast and we made our way to Bangi Lama since I need to send my pants for alteration(best giler sluar slack smua dah longgar so kena kecikan). We saw this Nasi Lemak Stall right at the smack of Bangi Lama. And no name was indicated in front of this stall so takde ler teman tau apa namanyer.

They also served Lontong and Soto but all were sold out by the time we arrived. Tinggalah nasi lemak but the variety of lauk for the nasi lemak is still very wide.
Each of us had different type of lauk : I had Hati Ayam, my better half telur goring with sambal kerang, my princess sambal udang, my hero ayam goreng and my baby sambal sotong.

Here’s the review :

Ambiance - 3 - love it, really like the gerai environment
Location - 3 - very convenient to where we live, about 5 minutes drive but parking may be a problem

Taste - 3.5 - sedap, nasi and the sambal was a fab!

Service - 3.5 - very polite and courteous

Price - 4 - I have to give a four, you know why, with all the above plus drinks, we only paid RM12.50. Murah sungguh ke salah kira!

Love this place and will surely come again. Perhaps a little bit earlier next time so we can taste the lontong.

Food Review - Teh Tarik Place

We were so tired after visiting this sale that we need to stop and have a drink for awhile before we continue our journey to visit this.

We don't really know where to eat. Food at The Curve is not that enticing to us. So, we walked further and we came across this place called Teh Tarik Place.

The place was quite pack with people which can mean few things ; the food is good, the food is cheap or people just sat there cause there are many people who sat there i.e. going where the crowd goes.

So, we ordered variety of food in the menu. Of course, Teh Tarik, otherwise what's the point eating at a Teh Tarik Place.

Nasi Goreng with Telur Mata.

Nasi Lemak Sotong

Kuey Teow Goreng

Mee Hoon Goreng

Sup Kambing

The service was quite frustrating aka lembab!!!! We wanted to order air kosong cause the cuties drink was finished while waiting for the food to arrive and that itself took about 10 minutes. And to make matter worse, due to communication barrier, we ordered one thing and they sent something else. Tension betul!!!

Now the review.

Ambiance - 2.5 - quite hot, dah ler service lembab so makin hot.

Location - 2.5 - The Curve is ok but the place is quite secluded. If you don't walk around you may not encounter this place

Taste - 3 - oklah, like typical mamak shop, the teh tarik was nice though

Service - 0.5 - this is me being kind! If me being honest, they deserve negative points.

Price - 2.0 - dah le lembab, mahal pulak tu.

So, there you have it, my take of this place. Remember you merchandiser out there, no matter how good your food may be if the service is lembab, no pointlah brother!!!

Food Review - Delicious Cafe, Jalan Pinang

One of my workmate just got promoted and she had booked our time to give us a treat over lunch at this place near KLCC called Delicious Cafe. The exact location is below the MARC apartment at Jalan Pinang. (picture courtesy of googleimage)

I wasn't sure whether I could make it as I was tied up with another engagement however, since Salwa really wanted for us to be there, I still proceed to the venue and was the last one to arrive.

Maryam was kind enough to pre-order for me, I just told her order me anything which resembles beef steak and she choose this dish which was delicious!

They also served this appertizer some sort like cracker dipped in this patte made from liver. I tried it once and did not really enjoyed it. For the second try, I had only the cracker.

The girls ordered 2 type of dessert, one this chocolate brownie with ice cream on top and another one is the bread pudding. They said it's delicious!

Now the review...

Ambiance - 3 -oklah, the typical cafe environment, like Dome, Starbuck etc....
Taste - 2.5 - Only the steak caught my attention. The rest, so and so lah

Location - 3 - high traffic area and walking from KLCC is not that far but when you combined hot weather and walking, what is near seems to be very far

Service - 2.5 - when I wanted to order drinks, the first 4 choices I made were not available. So, I had to ask them, what do they have, and end up ordering Coke.

Price - 2.5 - took a peak at the bill and quite pricey.

Despite the good food which I was told off, I think this place is not my cup of tea. Nevertheless, thanks Salwa for the treat!

Food Review - Nasi Beriani Gam Putrajaya

Last Saturday, we wanted to watch the Dragon Boat race and exhibition in Putrajaya. We thought this will happen until night time however by the time we reach there around 6.30pm, all stalls have started packing and ready to go home. I guess we were too late and actually the event ended at 5pm. We told the cuties we will come here again.

My baby was already hungry and I don't feel like going to Alamanda. Bosan ler pulak every weekend we have been coming to Alamanda.

I suggested to my better half, why don't we take the cuties to Nasi Beriani Gam Putrajaya. We've been there once and that was without the cuties. Since it's not that far to drive, we made our way to that direction.

We ordered Nasi Beriani Gam Ayam for the girls while my better half and hero wanted the mutton beriani. My baby actually wanted Ayam Masak Merah but it was all sold out. So, she settled for Ayam Masak Beriani instead.

Here's the review :

Ambiance - 2.5 - It's like a typical stalls so nothing to shout about.

Taste - 2 - For this trip, quite dissapointing. The first trip was much better. This time the gravy tasted a bit bitter, like the spices were too much.

Location - 3 - at that time quite strategic, but parking maybe a problem

Service - 3- not bad and quite fast

Price - 2.5 - On the high side. The beriani ayam costs us RM11 each while the mutton RM13 each.

I don't think we will come here again. Don't want to be dissapointed again

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.
