But , if you wanna have a great taste of dinner without causing too much burden to your body, this is definitely a good choice.

Lan Jie Steam Fish Restaurant (Branch)

The signature dish served by this restaurant is their steam fish, and the culture of this restaurant is they will serve the fish each for a person. But believe me that the portion is just right and nice for you with order for 2 to 3 more side dishes.

Fried egg with fresh bitter gourd

Steam Fish for 2 person with 2 side dish

I did try this out , together with 2 more side dish. I recommend that if 2 person, 1 side dish is preferred. The steam fish is really fresh and you can taste the tenderness and sweetness of the fish meat. There is also only one kind of fish available, so please do not order and ask for what kind of fish is available... (only africa freshwater fish is available - 非洲鱼)

The price is also consider cheap where the meal for 2 person is only cost for RM30-40 . So it is definitely a good choice for everyone, where you can have such a great dinner, and at the same time bring less the burden to your body.

Kin Kin Chili Ban Mian @ KL

Perhaps there is plenty of you all have no idea what " ban mian" is. Let me do a little explaination for it. " Ban Mian" is just actually noodles, just it was lengthen in it's width, like 1/2 inch, then flat and long. It was something like " kuey teow" but was thicker than that.

"Ban Mian" was usually match well and cooked in soup based style. But, in this shop, you can only found one kind of noodle, which is in dry based, and the boss named it as " Chili Ban Mian" .

Restoran Kin Kin

When the boss served the noodle, it was just looks so plain and there is no diffrent with normal dry-stir noodles. Then I was decided to have a taste of it and it just taste simply plain and can can is zero taste at all.

However, after i put in a scoop of the dry chili which prepared on the table, miracle happened!! The taste have an overturn of 360 degree which you will ever feel that this was the most delicious noodle that you ever ate before. I will suggest that when you are there and having this, you increase the amount of the chili powder gradually as the tastiness is different for each individual.

What special about this Ban Mian? What make it outstanding from others? The secret is inside the chili. Beside spicy, it has its special fragnance. Is it garlic, onion or whatever which enhance its fragnance?? There was a notice sticked on the wall showed that: "Don't steal the chilli." Now you know how many opponents it has who try to steal its recipe.

For majority who live in kl or study there, there is currently a few branches for this shop. However, I would still recommend that all should come to this original shop and the it definitely provided the authentic taste of this chili ban mian. (This is share by my friend whoever visit the branches)!!

Chili Ban Mian served together with fried egg (Original looks before adding the chili powder)

Lastly, the price of this chili ban mian is only RM 4-5. It also serves with a big portion. It also kinda inconvenient if you are not driving.

Italiannies @ Paradigm Mall PJ

Italiannies has several branches in the country. The one I visited was at Paradigm Mall.  From the minute you walk into the restaurant, you will be greeted with black and white photographs  decorating the walls, warm, yellow lighting and dark wooden furniture which all add up to Italiannies homey ambiance. The open kitchen where the chefs bake the pizza attracts people to stop their move and watch. The chef put the dough into an old style wood fired oven to bake it. Can imagine that the pizza must be delicious.

The wall was decorated with black & white historical photographs.

Minestrone soup quite nice.

artichoke crostini

complementary bread

       You will be served with complementary breads. The appetisers we ordered was artichoke crostini. The layers texture of the artichoke gave us a special taste. The cheese melted on the roasted bread and we already half full after ate it and the minestrone soup. The minestrone soup quite nice too.

     We decided to ordered pasta as our main courses. Penne Bolognese was nice. The bolognese sauce and the minced meat made you can't stop your spoon in order to finish the penne. In addition, Parmigiana which was a  Southern Italian dish was made with a shallow-fried sliced filling, layered with cheese and tomato sauce and then baked. This was match with the angle hair pasta and definitely full and contented after eaten.

Ribs King 排骨王@ PJ

     This is a small shop which hidden inside a residential area, Taman Paramount. There is no traffic jam problem, not over crowded until you have to queue outside in order to get a table, so definitely suitable for busy citizens to have a meal here. There is equipped with air-conditioner, environment is clean and magazines prepared. The TV there was  showing Taiwan Programme and I didn't know whether their restaurant ideas were came from Taiwan. 

      Since this shop names it as 'Ribs King', so we ordered the pork rib as it was signature dish. There was variety of cooking style and we ordered few of it. Pork Chop in Red Wine Sauce was special! There was really red wine smell and taste and abundant in amount. The pork chop was fried in a good tender texture too. The red wine with pork chop was a amazing match! It has alcohol smell and tastes sweet and little sour.

Pork chop in red wine sauce RM 7.90

     Another recommended dish was Spare Ribs in Spicy Milk Sauce. This taste like curry plus milk scene. Very good to eat with rice. Little bit spicy and full of milky aroma. This was really nice indeed. You will wanna to try it again if next time you come back here. 

Spare ribs in spicy milk sauce RM 8.90

     Apart from that, you can try another freshly cook style-- Lemon Sauce Pork Chop. The fried onion rings and lemon slide were on top of the pork chop which gave it illusion's effect. The tender, succulent pork chop was soaked with the sour sweet lemon juice made it has a  freshly flavour but not oily taste. Suitable to eat in a hot afternoon. 

Lemon sauce Pork Chop RM 7.90

      All the sets were included fried eggs, carrots, french beans ,corns, cucumbers and tomatoes. There was no service tax or government tax. So it is quite money saving to have a meal there. Spend with little money and you can fill your stomach as well as your wallet.

Bar B. Q. Plaza @ Berjaya Times Square

     Berjaya times square is a nice shopping complex in KL. Beside shopping, there is a theme park too. After playing the theme park, you may feel hungry and don't know where can eat. So, Bar B.Q. plaza is one of the choices where you can enjoy the BBQ! (note: it's non-halal)

Supreme Mixed RM34.90

 BarB Gon is the mascot of Bar B Q Plaza. He is a cute cheerful dragon.

      The menu is variety in combination. They have family set, supreme set, economic set and bbq items. So the price range from affordable to little bit pricey. The way they decorate the food is fascinating. This enhances  our appetites too. The set includes the meats and vegetables where we can experience self-grilling. Such cooking experience makes dining at Bar B Q Plaza enjoyable and mesmerising. The air convection is good so you won't feel smoky and stink after the meal. The meal is also accompanied by specially prepared sauce, which taste just right for grilled food. There is also lemon juice, chili and garlic prepared. You can mix them with the sauce or cook it with the meat. All up to you as you are the chef!

     The supreme mixed set has sirloin,beef, bacon, chicken, squid, udon, shrimps, lettuce and other vegetables. The meat are cut into thin slides and easy to grill. You will see the beef turn into brown in less than 1 minute time. Dip the meat with their sauce and it tastes sweet! It is good to eat without the sauce too. Besides, the shrimps are really fresh and nice! You can add on the water in your pot. So that you can cook the soup which has accumulated all the meaty essence. The soup was suitable to cook the vegetable and meatball. You can also boil your meat or shrimps.

Supreme set 

Grill the meat on the center of hot pot and boil the water which surround the center.

     The appetiser we ordered was soft crabs salad. The soft crabs were crunchy and salty whereas the salad was sour sweet and crunchy peanuts gave another texture to this dish. Not bad.

Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant @Solaris Mont Kiara

      This is a restaurant which located at the 3rd floor of the building. When I first visited this restaurant, the staircase was in dark and the basement was lighted up by using few candles. First I thought it was purposely designed like this, such romantic idea. But the truth was always cruel..Light bulb was spoiled..

     When I stepped in the restaurant, it was happening. Here has no luxury design and quite disappoitning at its interior design..or I should say it has no design at all. Every table will have a big sizzling pot. The environment was little bit crowded and the air convection was really quite bad. You will feel hot and the smoke kept came out from the sizzling pot which may make you breath harder if there was no fan there. 

     

     Nevermind, we focus on its food. It's famous of Korean traditional food: Dak-Galbi. They fry the chicken, cabbage, rice cake and sweet potatoes on a big sizzling pot in front of you. They will put their special sauce and make it appears darker. Basically, just mix up all the ingredient. So the taste was really not so great..I like the ramen (with additional price of RM6) and the sweet potatoes.Beside that,  I really can't find  any special thing in this dish except the way they cooked ( cooked in a big sizzling pot in front of you and made you smell like stinky after backed home).

     Oh ya, another special thing is you have to wear the apron to protect yourself. Otherwise, the gravy or ingredient may spilled on your cloth. Don't put your handphone or purse on the table while they are cooking unless you wanna taste your phone or purse too. 

     The menu was really limited. The price also little bit pricy, RM22. There is a rule that you must ordered at least 2 people portion then so they will cook the Dak-Galbi for you. I think 2 person meals was enough for 3 small appetite girls. The sides dish they gave were merely kimchi (not really nice, strong preservative taste) and salad. 

     The impression it leaves: It is just good enough to come once time. Quite unique experience as you have to wear apron and enjoy the waiter cooks with the big sizzling pot in front of you, good interaction.

Pitstop Cafe: coffee~ dine~ games @ PJ

   
     When you are waiting for your meal in a cafe, what would you do? Playing candy crush? 4 pic 1 word? or just Facebook or twitter? The modern technology makes us indulge into our Ipads or smart phones and less connectivity between human. Let's us abandon our technology devices and start to play a game with friends while we are waiting our meal!

This game only suitable for 3 years old child.

     As you can see from the photo, this <Pitstop cafe> provides variety of games on the shelf which includes board games, card, etc. But some games lost its instruction papers so this confused us as we were not familiar with the games XD

     Recently, it has valuable promotion! 1 course meal + 1 drink + 1 mushroom soup + 1 free flow ice-cream with price RM 18 ~ RM30 according to the main course you choose. The food taste normal. The chicken chops basically quite nice and cheap. The <black and white chicken chop>  was chicken chop with mushroom and black pepper sauce. The <honey brown  sauce chicken chop> taste sweet and quite nice.  I like the wedges as it was crispy! But personally I found the mushroom soup was not really nice, it was too dilute. The apple soda drink also not recommended, taste like colouring drink only. 

     The portion of meal is quite big and the price is reasonable. The comfort environment and games provided attracts a lot of customers. Another attractive point is their self-serving ice-cream top up. They will give you a biscuit cone and you can go take your ice-cream as much as you can! The flavours includes chocolate, Oreo, mints, yam, strawberry, etc. But when I went to take it, almost all flavours finished and left orea and chcolate flavours only. That time was only 1830. I wondered why they don't top up the ice-cream...Haiz..

disappointing mushroom soup..

My Elephant Thai Restaurant @ Section 17, PJ

     This restaurant located at a hidden place, hidden among the flats. However, a lot of people still able to find it and always full house. You have to call for reservation for the dinner time. Today, I decided to have a lunch here.

     This is a very small restaurant and very happening. Small square table with white cloth and a white square mahjong paper on top. Small glass of flowers as a decoration. The air conditioning equipped attracted a lot of people come for lunch at the hot noon time. The another reason is their cheap set lunch.

     I ordered a Tom Yum soup with rice. The Tom Yum was more sour than spicy. If this can be more spicy, balance the sour taste and it will be pretty better.  The set lunch also includes the Pandan Drink. It was very nice especially at the hot afternoon. Sweet with good smell. 

     The other set called Chicken Merry Land. A big fried drumstick with green curry. The green curry was not spicy, more on santan (coconut milk) taste. A big different with what i have tried before, it was not spicy at all. 

     All set lunch have watermelon and the salad. It was quite cheap to have such set lunch at PJ area.
