BBQ Chicken...

BBQ Chicken - Koreas No.1 Chicken Restaurant Barbeque....so they claim :P

Tried their outlet at Jaya One as the tagline simply hits me and probably cause they serve chicken as well? ahahaha...well i'm a CHICKEN meat fan....Anything goes with Chicken definitely attracts me....by the way when i mentioned Chicken as in Fowl OK? Apologies as I have to emphasise due to some friends different mindset :D

Starters, the price was quite attractive as the set lunch we had was quite affordable...I mean for a set lunch at about RM 14 that comes with a drink, chicken meal set with coleslaw as well as fries plus an ice cream for dessert? Seriously it couldn't get any better or could it? The staff was very friendly albeit quite clueless about the menu (at least she apologised as she's still new)....

We sat down just quite near the front as it's brighter...love the natural light that is directed in the premise with a good set of glasses around....but on the setback is like your actually feeling like a fish in an aquarium being watched while eating :P anyways the deco for the restaurant is simple yet nicely decorated...much better than desserts bar. Comfortable seats and the premise can easily seat for 30pax with much comfort though during that time there were a bunch of ladies laughing away loudly near our table....did i say ladies? hmmm.... :P

Luckily for us the crowd ain't many ...only about 3 tables and therefeore we quickly ordered our meal and before 3 minutes we received our drinks and soup... the soup for the set lunch was corn soup and it tastes quite good ....sweet enough for me...next come our main meal which is freshly served...

The Jerk BBQ is made of a whole leg chicken ( quite small for my standard ) which is soury and spicy but if you blend in together with the fresh coleslaw and the softly fried fries; perfecto! As for the other dish is the Korean Charboiled; a 2 piece tender leg chicken meat cooked with natural spices as described in their menu is simply juicy and tender and it also comes with fresh coleslaw and fries...

We finished our meal less than 10 minutes with filled up tummy....yummy and then came our dessert...i wanted a chocolate ice cream ( my favourite )but the staff insisted they only have strawberry... i wonder if its true but i guess i we have to finish it anyways since it would be a waste if not eaten rite? :D it was nothing to shout about as i feel the ice cream does not have that spongy feeling to it at all....

Overall, the meal was affordable and worth every cents even though the chicken is a bit smaller & we do not have choice of ice cream flvour but with the drinks, dessert, coleslaw and fries; 1 would be contented with the filling meal... well I am a small eater :P
Recommended for chicken lovers if you have yet to try as it's really worth it and with the comfortable ambience to take your partner as well cause it has this classy feel (well compared to normal stalls - though i'm not against those stalls)

Dessert's Bar...


Visited Dessert's Bar located @ Solaris Mont Kiara together with my buddy WING while awaiting 4 our dinner at Tenji... This is my second visit as the previous was with my "Ah Ma" few months back which I was not into blogging yet.


We were seated at the sofa that's quite near the entrance as I wanted to seat somewhere close to a powerpoint to use my laptop as well as it has natural lighting and yes they do provide FREE wireless internet connection but you do need to get the password from the helpful & cheerful waiter/waitress. I quickly ordered the same drink I had the last visit I was there which is the Grapes Smoothie while Wing ordered his Orange Smoothie.


I noticed the interior is beautifully decorated even though filled with simplicity with large glasses for more natural light. It has a large red bar counter where they make the delicious smoothies for us with comfortable counter top seating as well all garnished in RED. The ambiance is quite nice apart from the soft music which is near unnoticeable....


Our drinks came shortly within 5 minutes from ordering. The color of my drink seem to be lighter than the previous trip that I came. Even though it's suppose to be made of fresh red, black and green grapes...hmmm...but the taste was still sweet + sour and as good as before. You really can feel the freshness in it. Wing did not comment much on his drink but from the looks of it, you can really see it's as delicious as it looks as well..


Strangely is that the price for both drinks is prices differently albeit quite affordable with the amount of fruits they blend to make the drinks. My smoothie is priced at RM 11 while Wings orange is priced at RM 8.

Overall a good location to hang out as it's not as packed as Starbucks and the price of the drinks is quite reasonable, fresh and healthy! The net connection has quite a decent load speed as well with friendly and cheerful staff.

Tenji Japanese Buffet @ Solaris Mt Kiara


As promised d photos and below will be some personal opinion of d food as well as d location of d above mentioned restaurant.

Firstly, location wise...it's situated inside Solaris Mont Kiara which is coincidentally in Mont Kiara; 1 of d more exclusive locations around in KL. Solaris Mont Kiara is developed by Sunrise group (more on Solaris Mont Kiara development ~ http://www.sunrisebhd.com/mktg/smk/main.html ) and completed about a year ago only and it's already buzzing with lot's of activities from pubs, grocery, cafes, restaurants, offices etc.

great view from d outdoor dining

Secondly, the design and traffic flow of d restaurant...when I first stepped in, I was amazed by d neatly designed lobby though its not fantastically GRAND but good enough 2 make me feel GRAND...well probably I've not been 2 these kinda places 4 quite sometime now :P As we confirmed our reservation, 1 of d waiter guided us 2 our table which is about 1 min walking distance and yea, u will be surprised how issit that u need 2 walk 1 min? d design layout is in a way that from d lobby u have 2 pass through a balcony whereby there r seatings as well overlooking KL city and then only u r able 2 move in 2 d main dining location. Impressive deco and with well ligthed locations where is needed...d sushi bar has a good traffic flow whereby is rectangular in shape...meaning u have more space 2 move if there were quite a huge crowd and easy access 2 d foods around...spacious seating space as well...

NOW 4 d food...overall I feel it's quite FRESH which is all my point of view...d sashimi is sliced 2 a comfortable size ...while d grilled stuffs r grilled 2 perfection with d smell and taste... amongst all d dishes, i love d most is d FRESH OYSTER as well as d LOBSTER SALAD....crap...i dun think i can be a food critic as i can't described d details of d food...hahahhaa....well dun juz take my word 4 it...look at those pictures and u will understand why and if not convince try it out.....

Wings Promotion Celebration...

"ah ma" with her 2 "sons"
Wing got promoted to Agency Supervisor on November 2008 after achieving minimum total revenue of RM500, 000 in sales....a feat which I've yet to reach :( Our "ah ma" wanted 2 celebrate his promotion by treating us dinner and she decided on Tenji @ Solaris Mt Kiara. Supposedly 1 of our mate is 2 go with us 2gether but since he is so bz with trying 2 get a wife in India while learning d bollywood dances as well as bathing with holy water; we opt 2 go without him ..... :D

"wing enjoying his sashimi"
Alice Teh (my "kai-che") was supposed 2 join us that nite but due 2 unforseen circumstances, she is unable 2 make it as well. Anyways we were there earlier as "ah ma" has booked d place for 6.30pm. We were greeted with sweet and polite staffs and they are so organised that they had a waiter showing us d way to our table which took about a minute walk? It's actually quite a long route 2 walk 2 our table but its worth it as it has an outdoor view overlooking Mt Kiara while facing KLCC location...

"wing testing out d chocholate fondue"
We were d 1st patrons there and felt simply awesome with d size of d restaurant as well as d amount of dishes of foods served. Cozy place it is till we stayed up till d closing time at 10.30pm where we were escorted out of d restaurant. Hahahhaa...
More on Tenji and the foods (pictures and comments) coming soon....

Restoran Vicchuda, Damansara Uptown

RESTORAN VICCHUDA
Was feeling hungry already around 5pm as I had an early lunch (Tmn Tun famous 'kai si hor fun') about 12pm...Therefore invited Nor 2 go 4 dinner at Restoran Vicchuda, Damansara Uptown which is famous 4 their Tom Yam soup....It's situated facing the LDP at Damansara Uptown comprising 2 shop houses....



TOMYAM CAMPUR

The last I was there was a few months back and that was during the month of Ramadhan ~ Muslim fasting month (which was packed then)... To9 d crowd aint that many but at least still occupies easily 1/4 of the shop...We took our seat at a outmost corner as its more breezy especially so since its drizzling....Another reason 4 that is that definitely I would be sweating non stop after taking d Tom Yam....dunno why but each time i take something hot, sour & spicy...I will sweat non stop :(

KANGKONG GORENG

We quickly ordered our meal after browsing through d menu...The delicacies that we ordered are Tom Yam Campur without d beef , Ayam Padprik , Kangkong Goreng, Kerabu Sotong & Telur Mata Kerbau ...all yummy stuffs! Didn't ordered fish as on a tight budget as the restaurant is oso famous 4 their fishes!

AYAM PADPRIK

Our order arrived shortly even b4 I really had d chance 2 take some 'shots' at d internal deco of d restaurant...when i said shortly, its less than 5 mins! WOW! how do they serve these foods so fast? From wat I believe, they must have cooked it b4 hand and just heated it up...anyways since we're so hungry we juz helped ourselves on d food but of course I took some 'shots' first...


SOTONG KERABU

The Tom Yam Campur was good ( I believe could be better if they have fresh chicken and prawn in it ) even though d soup colour is a bit clearer than their Thai counterpart...I feel that they need 2 notch up a little on their spicy portion as well as d kick is not there even though I was already sweating half way through my meal...The kangkong goreng was tasty indeed with the sauce but couldn't agree on d prawn as it's not fresh enough. Ayam padprik was so-so only as I feel d chicken is not really that fresh ...The Mata Kerbau is really not up 2 standard as u cant c d MATA at all! The only dish I had no complaints is d Sotong Kerabu where d mixture of sour + soft tender squid meat is wonderful!
Btw can u guess how much d total price 4 d meal is? It's not cheap at all! It's RM 41.20 inclusive of Teh O Ais & Air Suam for drinks and it's juz a dinner for 2! :(
Apologies 4 not getting d address down but if ur from PJ or KL u should not have any problems looking 4 this Restaurant at all....if ur from Sunway going 2 1 utama via LDP it would be on ur left hand side only....just look out for it!
HAPPY EATING!



a walk in d park...

The sound of waterfall that soothes me

Refocusing a healthier lifestyle rather than clubbing is my objective now...therefore I started to exercise again...yupz! Though it's been awhile but somehow or rather one have to re-aligned back to its course rite? So I set up my alarm at 7AM as I wanted to go jog as well as take some nice photoshoot of the sun rising but instead I got up about 8.45AM! I guess I must be really tired after the office party...

Mommy Monkey on prowl for food

Took time to prepare myself and reached the Taman Tun Park aka Taman Tasik Lembah Kiara (in Malay) @ around 10.00AM. The sun was glaring furiously when I reached the park but it did not faze my determination as I am there for a reason! WOW! Talk about determination... :P

Well decorated PARK

Started off the track by taking the longer route by simple walks and I am always amazed by the freshness of the air around the park. Even though it's seated in the Kuala Lumpur City address with housing development around...the park is able to give you a feeling like you're back to nature. It has well laid jog path and greenery is just everywhere. It's comfortable and cooling especially if you take the longer path as it's just beside a Forest Reserve.

Green Lizard on prowl

From time to time, you can actually get a glimpse or two of faunas around the park such as the 2 shots above that entertains my photoshoot. There are more critters around if you carefully observe your surrounding in the park.


Condo beside the PARK

After a walk around the long route, I started to jog and it seems my stamina is not what it used to be anymore :( I took the short route this time which is around the lake that passes by a man made waterfall and the jog ended up only half the route....seems like I need more practise and definitely will be back for more!

HAPPY SATURDAY!
