Pacific Coffee Company Cafe @ Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang

Walking around the new Gurney Paragon Mall and saw this Paciffic Coffee Company having this all-day breakfast set promotion. There are 4 choices of set meals from RM9.90 including a fresh brewed coffee. Topped up RM2.00 to exchange for a Latte or Cappuccino.

Breakfast Set @ RM9.90 + RM2.00 (upgrade)

It comes with a Tomato Strudel and I upgrade to Cappuccino. The Tomato Strudel is a pastry topped with lots of brown sesame and stuffed with dry tomato paste. The paste is very sourish and tasty while the strudel pastry is very crunchy. It's addictive eating it.

Cappuccino

This is my first time drinking pacific coffee and i was stunned with the thick foam on top of the cup but did not overflow. The foam is quite thick and taste with a mild coffee aroma. The cappuccino is quite nice and i can really taste the light bitterness without adding sugar. 

Mochaccino @ RM11.90

Different between mocha and mochaccino is that Mochaccino will have more foam than mocha. Yes 2 inch of foam on top. The portion is huge for a tall size. Taste wise, it is actually quite mild of both choco and coffee. For me, i prefer a stronger and thicker taste.

 Breakfast Set : Chicken Pie @ RM7.90 (with Coffee)

The chicken pie was heated and served hot. The pastry on top is super duper crispy. Everything turn a mess when I start cutting my pie. Despite the ugly situation, the pastry really taste crunchy and delicious with the strong buttery taste. Inside is stuff with minced gravy and just one or two chicken dice. It's like thick campbell soup base in it. Taste soft but acceptable. 

Breakfast set: Turkey Cheddar Sandwich @ RM7.90 (with Coffee)

You can choose to have it heat up or not. Comes with wholemeal bread, turkey ham, 2 slices of cheddar cheese and lettuce. It taste good and the combination of turkey ham and cheddar is delicious.

The cafe is operate by a young man who is the barista too. The environment is cozy and comfortable. There are sofas corner which is a nice place to relax.

Lam Mee Ya @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang

LamMeeYa has been opening several outlets is major shopping centre nowadays. It was like ages since my previous visit at the 1Utama branch. Their food is getting more variety and recently serving the double boiled soup and all kinds of healthy fruits juice too in Empire Shopping outlet.

Lam YeeMee

Order the Lam Yee Mee for myself instead of the normal thick yellow noodle. Sick of the thick noodle on my last visit in 1U. This time the yee mee taste really better as i like the aroma of yee mee noodle. It's served with prawns, meatball, sliced chicken and some vege. I'm glad that they removed the prawn shell for me. Everything is delicious.

Special Chilli Sauce

The gravy mix well with their special chili sauce. Feel its not so spicy this time. Great !

Steam bread with kaya and butter

Find it funny that day served bread here too! The bread is steamed soft but its not heat enough to melt the butter. Somehow i just feel it taste normal. Nothing special about this.

Royal Milk Tea

The milk tea here really not bad. Nothing to complain from a Noodle Shop. Smooth and fragrance of tea is strong too. I'm not sure what is the difference between this royal milk tea and their normal milk tea. Visually is the mug that makes the different and both has so much bubbles on top too. There is a difference of 20 cents on price oh.

Pastis Cafe & Dining @ The Gardens, Midvalley

Pastis Cafe is located next to the escalator to basement car park. The cafe looks bit high class, something like hotel's lounge bar. Basically they are more towards western style cakes & coffee, with some pasta and sandwiches. Saw most customer here to enjoy the hi-tea.

Hot Mocha @ RM9.90

It is served with a piece of biscotti. Taken a hard time to stir the mocha because the cream is almost half of the glass. The coffee is very creamy and sweet at the end because lots of chocolate jam are not melted. Will request for light cream the next round. I feel so fattening now.

Mushroom Soup @ RM15.90

It comes with a huge serving bowl or i should is a plate instead? Only the middle is sink into where the soup are filled. It's served with 2 soft bread too.

Mushroom Soup

Quite disappointed with the mushroom soup as it was over extremely salty The texture and taste is actually very good and nice. But just too salty. I wonder does the chef added triple portion of salt in it. We requested for a cup of hot water to add in, hoping to dilute the saltiness. I saw the table next door is smiling and i think they did the same too.

Lamb Pie @ RM19.90

The lamb pie is topped with a chunk of mashed potato and some salads at the side. It was showered with delicious brown sauce. The mashed potato is quite rough but can easily taste the real potato taste. The pastry of the pie is delicious, and there are lots of lamb meat cube in it with some potato cubes too. Even the salad is nice with their salad balsamic sauce. Afterall its delicious but again quite salty.

Came across Restoran Soon Hock through a friend. The restaurant is located at Desa Aman which take the 3rd turning at the round about of Sierramas Sg Buloh. Go further in at the left side will see this 2 story building. Beware the roads are quite bumpy.

The Restaurant owner ran out of the restaurant when seeing us puzzling where to park our car. He lead us to a proper space and mention that any where can be park even in front of the 2 houses next to the restaurant and opposite has a covered car park too.

I order a coconut first due to the hot weather recently. It's not sweet but very cooling with a mild coconut taste.

Steamed Tilapia - RM23

This is one of their signature dish - Ka Heong Steam Fish (家鄉蒸魚). The fish is almost 1/3 soaking in the soy soup broth with lots of sliced mushroom, to fu, tofu pok, black seaweed, spring onions, ginger, garlic and etc. The soup is sweet and taste bit like there are chinese wine added. Its quite spicy too with the chili padi in it. 

Salted Egg Bittergourd @ RM10.00

The bittergrourd is sliced super thin and deep fried with salted egg. It is perfectly crispy and aromatic taste of salted egg tasted like snacks. I can hardly feel the bitterness of the bitter gourd. It taste something like fried potato.

Fried Tofu with Pumpkin sauce @ RM12

The whole metal bowl is full of pumpkin sauce. It's like a golden treasure box. Many ''treasure'' inside besides the fried tofu, there are also generous of green peas, prawns, button mushroom, and bottom is a layer of steamed egg. I enjoy my rice with the pumpkin gravy. 

Fried paku vege with sambal belacan @ RM10.00

The paku vege match well with the sambal belacan. It is quite crunchy and smooth. 

The food portion served here is actually quite big although we order all smallest portion. Price is reasonable too despite just behind the high-end area. Total bill comes to RM55 for 3 person excluding the drinks.

Out of the above, I love the 3 in 1 mille crepe the most as it tasted just like soft ice cream cake. The mango mille crepe is very flavourful too.

Dontaku Ramen Japanese Restaurant @ 1 Utama

Dontaku is a Japanese Restaurant located at the lower Ground of 1U shopping centre. They are specialised in Ramen, bento sets and hot pot sets. Nice japanese decoration and photos all over the wall and also the ceiling.

Salmon Sashimi @ RM12.80

It comes with 5 pieces of salmon, fresh lettuce, threaded white radish, some preserved ginger and wasabi. With the price given, i would request for a better and thicker chunk of salmon sashimi. Their salmon is abit darker in colour but luckily tasted fresh. Besides, the white radish are juicy with strong aroma of radish.

Weekend Special Bento Set @ RM19.80

This is a pork meat set inclusive of a hot pot, tempura, sushi, salad, gohan, pork chop, pork char siew and 3 type of pork pickles. The hot pot comes with many sliced of pork meat, cabbage, and bean sprout.

Shabu Hot Pot

The pork meat texture is like shabu shabu because the meat is so thin and attached half portion of fats. It not very flavourful but got the natural sweet taste and dipping in the sesame shoyu sauce makes it delicious. 

Side dishes

Tempura is prepared fresh that comes with a prawn, eggplant, ladies finger, and sweet potato. The crumbs are very crispy and flavourful with the tempura shoyu sauce inclusive of garnish radish. The sushi roll with tiny crabmeat stick tasted normal. 

Side dishes

Two sliced of pork meat and pork chop at the side tasted tender and crispy. A bit oily from the pork chop though. The 3 pork pickles are quite similar ingredients. The only thing can differentiate is the color of the sauce. They tasted, salty, sweet and miso respectively.

Hot Green Tea @ RM2.00 (refillable)

Village Park Restaurant @ Damansara Utama

Village Park Restaurant is well-known of the famous Nasi Lemak in Klang Valley. The restaurant located at Damansara Uptown which is always crowded. I always reluctant to wait for a seat when I was young. That time there is one unit of shoplot. Currently they had extended into two units shoplot, it is much more spacious and tables to cater the crowd.

Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng @ RM7.50

This is the most wanted Nasi Lemak in Village Park. Comes with some cucumbers, ikan bilis, fried ground nuts, hard boiled egg and the chili sambal. The rice was nicely cooked with coconut milk fragrance. Best mix with the sambal and ikan bilis itself. Glad the sambal is not very spicy, it is slightly sweet with lots of onions in it. 

The ayam goreng generously a big whole thigh. It was fried till golden brown in color and very aromatic. Marinated with their secret recipe, the skin is so crispy with spices taste so delicious. 

Fish Ball Noodle Soup @ RM5.50

The fish ball noodle comes with lots of fish balls, fish cake, fu chok and lettuce. The fish ball is very bouncy but taste is just mild. I just like the fish cake and fu chuk in this bowl of noodle soup because they taste better. The fish ball soup is not standardise. I think it depends who is the chef. Sometimes it's quite tasteless like water.

Cham Tarik

The cham tarik which mix of coffee and teh is very thick in taste and tarik till very smooth texture. The sweetness is just alright to take care of our health, its not very sweet afterall. 

Tropical Blend @ RM3.70

I like this tropical blend with the mix of pineapple, orange, and carrot. Very refreshing and cooling.

Pontian Wanton Noodles @ SS15, Subang Jaya

Pontian Wanton Noodles shop has been opening several outlets in the Klang Valley. I always feel the chinese name 笨珍 funny. I totally din't aware that they are a restaurant selling wanton noodles and laksa until one day my friend took me there for makan.

Pontian Wanton Noodle (w char siew) @ RM4.50

The noodle is top with 2 deep fried wanton, few pieces char siew and some veges. I love the deep fried wanton because it's very crispy and taste pretty well. Noodle is springy too. There are 3 types of sauces to be picked on for the noodles: original soy sauce, chili sauce and tomato sauce.

Besides, they have this pickled green chili is so sourish delicious. Recently is hard to find in normal restaurants because most of the restaurant are lazy to prepare it.

Pontian Wanton Soup

Dry noodle comes with a bowl of soup and 2 wanton in it. The soup broth is quite good and taste strong. Although the soup wanton is quite tiny but can really feel some meat in it.

Pontian Char Siew Noodle @ RM10.90

Pontian Wanton Noodle (only wanton) @ RM10.90

The wanton only noodles without char siew comes with 4 deep fried wan tan (2 extra for replacing the char siew). The wan tan meat is actually little too small piece, can't even feel it if i'm not concentrating.

Pontian Noodle (w Chicken Feet)

The chicken feet are braised perfectly with the black sauce taste. The skin is so soft and easily tear. This time i order the noodle with tomato sauce. It taste funny like just mixing with kimball tomato sauce but its quite unique and the more I eat the more I accepted the taste.

Pontian Curry Laksa @ RM10.90

Their curry laksa is rich with coconut milk and very thick broth. The taste is bit mild therefore mixing with the chili paste enhance the taste better. Inside comes with fu chuk, hard boil egg, cockles, bean sprout, and some mint sauce on top.

Red Bean @ RM10.90

Red bean is quite diluted and it comes with sago in it too. Very sweet piece of dessert.

Lime Jelly Ice @ RM10.90

This is really very refreshing. Comes with jelly and sourish lime, flavourful and cooling.

Not too bad overall. Price is cheap and reasonable. Instead of having it at those hawker stall which is so hot, may as well enjoy my meal in an air conditional shop.
