Where to hang out? ………. Riverside!!

Nowadays night life is getting much more popular than the old times. Back to the old times, people often stay at home during night time but guess what? Compared to now, people often stay at home during day time and hang out during night time.

I’m sure mostly people hang out during night time is at those restaurants so called “mamak”.

But don’t you guys feel bored by hanging out the same place every time?



Riverside Grill & Bar @ The Heritage @ Serdang

Today, I have a suggestion for those people out there who like to hang out during night time, the "Riverside Grill & Bar ".  Riverside placed near the shopping mall name The Mines, where Riverside actually based in condominium area named, The Heritage.

 

Let's take a look the environment here... ... relax... isn't it??



The surrounding of Riverside is much more suitable for couple to dine in. Of course, spending your good time with family also a good choice ^^

Guess what? It's girls night

Look at the design of the MENU, CREATIVE!!  

No doubt!! It's REAL swan! Soooooo cute! Many customers are sharing their food to this cute thing ( I'm one of them)

Just beside the restaurant there is a lake with those lovely swan and fish swimming around.  Unlike those mamak out there, the surrounding of this restaurant is quite and relax.

As usual... Coke is a MUST, ** TADAA~~** Ice Mocha (Strongly recommended)

1. Fish & Chips is not bad. 2. Tom Yam Fried Rice is awesome. 3. Tom Yam Soup still okay. 4. Garlic Butter Cheese Chicken Chop is special.

Okay… Now it is time to talking about the food. The food here is great, especially the steak. The price is reasonable, not expensive at all! Couple dating with budget, this place is definitely suitable for them.

You can see that almost everyone's table have this, we called "Shisha" 

Oh yeah, guess what there’s “shisha” too… For those shisha lover you guys really to visit this because it is awesome!!

Restaurant Lan Je @ USJ

“一人一鱼”- One fish per pax? Haha... ...

Few years ago, I have always wanted to try Lan Je Steamed Fish, but the main branch is too far away, the main branch is located at Rawang.

The other outlets stated & some news articles about this restaurant is paste on the board

Lan Je is getting more famous with more branches sprouting in Klang Valley as far as Balakong and Kota Damansara. This outlet is at Subang Jaya (USJ) and has been opened since 2011. From my place to here just need 20minutes, it’s very nearby and has been here numerous times and the quality of food has been consistent.

To share my experiences, I did have my lunch and dinner at the same restaurant in one day!! Sounds crazy right? I just can’t control my saliva when I’m thinking the sweet flesh of the fish…

This restaurant is "Pork Free"



Here is always crowded in anytime!



I love the fish!! Fish love me!! The only fish serving here name “Talapia”.   Yes, it’s kind of low price seafood. But, this dish is compatible to others fish. It comes with non spicy, mild spicy or extra spicy. The talapia has been "detoxicated" for a while (to take away any muddy smell) before serving it. Mmmmmm…the fish is just perfect matched to the soy sauce.



Lunch - Non spicy & Dinner - Mild spicy

They do not serve pork, so for your other carnivorous needs, you have chicken cooked either Kung Pao style (with onions and dried chillies) or Sweet and Sour style. The chicken is BONELESS…so that every bite is bliss. All the other dishes are nice too.

Lunch - Fried Yao Mak & Dinner - Fried Choy Tam and Sweet & sour chicken

Ordering your food here is a breeze. No menus, no daily specials. Steamed Talapia is a MUST. The only downside is probably the dish took 25min to arrive despite only 2 tables. The prices their charged is reasonable.

You can see almost everyone is having a fish each. Most patrons order a fish each, to fully savour his/her own fish, without the need to fight over the best parts. But, we like to share with others, because… “Sharing means caring”!

Crow Crow ~~

If someone ask you: what kind authenthic cuisine that Ipoh have?

For sure Ipoh Bean Sprouts Chicken will first come into your mind.

Actually Ipoh not only famous in Bean Sprouts Chicken but  the special salt-baked chicken is also well known. We can found few selling Salt-baked Chicken outlet in town, but

 An Qionglin Salt-baked Chicken is the most famous outlet among others. A lot of tourists and local people will either dine in or take away to enjoy this special dish.



Besides crowded STILL crowded... they did provide "drive thru" service also... Haha (Only local will know it)



 

In some day, I took few [local] KL friends hanging around in Ipoh (small town) :D

After some visiting, my friends are beginning to nagging about their stomach was in fierce protest =='

I took them to An Qionglin Salt-baked Chicken to settle their lunch to avoid my ears suffering from the "sound pollution". This shop is not much table available for dine in customer. So, I order and then take away back to home enjoy my salted chicken in a very comfortable environment.

Here we go ... ... say "Hello" to our meal  =D



I can't wait!! I can't wait!!

Wait... This is not the normal chicken that usually we eat. This is typical "village chicken", which mean the meat of the chicken is more chewable than the normal one. And... Look at the skin's color, it is must more "Golden color" and attractive! But, it's not expensive at all, this whole chicken only cost RM16.

The whole chicken left only bone and skin surround within 10 minutes!!  

I got the drumstick~ happy~~

They were very happy and satisfy because they NEVER ate salt-baked chicken like this before. Oh gosh! I'm speechless at that moment. Actually, I'm feeling really happy because I share this nice food from my lovely hometown to them.

 

Feel like wanna have a bite on it? Please get it from the address below or else you have to beg me

**evil smile**

Have a nice day ahead yaa my dear readers!

Onn Kee Bean Sprout Chicken - Ipoh

When you once in Ipoh you MUST eat "Tau Ge" or what we usually called it as beansprout! Because it’s only at this lovely place that you will get to sink your teeth into the fattest, juiciest and crunchiest bean sprouts ever! Don't believe it? Reason is due to the ‘magical’ limestone hill water gives the plants nutrients. And... Have you heard about many pretty girls and handsome boys are cames from Ipoh? Yes, the people who stay near the caves or hills, their skin look fair and soft like baby... Hehehe **wink**

Another MUST from Ipoh will be the chicken rice. There is so many chicken rice shop in Ipoh but the really nice and tasty one were limited. So, here I got the combinations of bean sprout and chicken rice at one shop, this restaurant I would like to share to you all were located in Ipoh -

Restaurant Onn Kee Bean Sprout Chicken.

Restaurant Onn Kee



The workers just busy chopping the chicken and serving the food



Onn Kee is well known for its tender, freshness of the chicken and the noodle - Kuey Teow. I can bet you can't get any other noodle from outside like Onn Kee gives to you. It's smooth and you can feel it melts inside your mouth! The stock is flavoured by the sweet essence of chicken and just a dash of pepper to give that extra zest.

Other than the chicken and noodle, another thing is the pork / fish ball is also a delighting one and a recommended one to try on.



Kuey Teow have to choices- Soup or dry in soy sauce




A plate of poached chicken together with soy sauce and spring onions, a table filled with yummilicious food



Years ago, this restaurant operates only at night after 7p.m. to late midnight. Now, they are open at 12.30p.m. to late midnight. An asides, the restaurant is also well maintained and it is clean. Yet, here is under air conditioning environment. You can enjoy the nice food with sweat-free, especially they running their business during the noon time.

Although is 2p.m. now, it's FULL HOUSE!

Me and mummy after enjoyed the nice food ^^

As you can see from the picture, there are many photo hanging on the wall in the shop which is many HK and other countries artist was been here and grab a taste of the chicken rice/noodle.

Restoran Chongqing Chicken Hot Pot @ Kuchai Lama

What is Hot Pot ?

       "As one branch of Sichuan cuisine, Chongqing cuisine is noted for its distinctive spicy and pungent flavors. Chongqing is the birth place of the hot pot in China. Once upon a time, it was a seasonal food designed to protect against the low temperatures and frigid winds of the winter. People would sit around a table, eat hot pot, and revel in the instant warmth that would flood their bodies. Hot pot has become more and more popular today, and it is widely enjoyed by people and regardless of seasons and regions"

The colorfull is good for eye catching

Chongqing Chicken Hot Pot- From it's name, I thought that here only served chicken meals, but, I was wrong, except from chicken, you can have  pork, beef  or fish in a pot and you can also select the level of spiciness – mild spicy, medium, and super spicy. The pots come in small, medium or big serving.  Me and my friends were kinda greedy and hungry. We are craving for spicy foods all the time, so, we ordered 2 small pots, which is 1 mild spicy beef hot pot "牛魔王" and another one medium spicy chicken hot pot "鸡公煲". The design on the table was cute~ There is a picture showing the intructions or steps of the processing that how customers should do, which is once you enter the restaurant until you left the restaurant.



Environment from here - getting crowded



The little cute stove

That's only few minutes time, this retaurant is full-house and being crowded. Usually, during 6p.m. until 9p.m. were they super busy business hours and you can see many people standing around to wait for the table.

My friend- Heng Yee and I (one more is missing because he is not willing to take photo =[  )



While waiting for the food come, we decided to ‘explore’ the fridge where the side dishes were stored. For sure, we wont miss out any chances to take photo to keep the good memories.There were baskets/bowls tagged from  RM1 to RM4 of vegetables, bowls of pork / fish balls, noodles, mushrooms, beancurd  and so on. We took a basket of vegetable and 2 baskets of meetball then we returned to our table.



Beef Hotpot                                     Chicken hotpot



First to arrive was the chicken hot pot , the aroma filled our nostrils, triggered a generous flow of saliva .The  flavour was a blend of sweet, sour and spicy . The every single pieces of chicken were tender and very  tasty. There were also quite a lot of vegetables in the pot : carrots, celery, garlic, onions and lotus root. It's very nice indeed, because I like vegetables ^^

Within 10minutes, beef hot pot were served, another sizzling and aromatic pot. There were slices of beef, beef balls.There were plenty of vegetables like inside the pot just like the chicken hot pot does.

When we looking into the pot, we are feeling annoying about the sauces is going to finish. The waiter came by and ask whether we need to refill the soup or not. It's same, the soup also can select the level of spiciness. Then he poured soup into the pots and then the hotpot turns to steamboat like, so, this is where the side dishes come into the picture. The soup were kinda salty but goes well with rice.

Tips: Try not to get in the way of the steam from the soup as  I found myself going all teary-eyed from this.

A short break~

Every college students always busy with tons of assignments, midterm and lot of homework. During the busy assignment week, Jeffney and I had date out after class, to have a short break at Charlie Brown Café. It is located at KLCC, the first was opened at Penang's Straits Quay.

Recently, Charlie Brown Café becomes a hot place to go for the KL people; even other state people also wish to pay a visit. Due this café is a Charlie Brown theme café. The café is fully furnished with the Charlie brown’s characters, no matter entrance, seats, tables and also the bar counters. The café keep on playing the Charlie Brown cartoon’s theme song. The environment there was so great. It brings us back to the childhood time.

The foods there were all designed in Charlie Brown’s characters too. It was so cute and adorable. The taste is just okay, not that great as we think.  

Life is full of challenge and obligations. Even how hard we also have to go through it. A life must goes on. Sometimes, even how busy we are, we can also try to stop awhile and take a break.

As taking rest is for the sake of going further. 

Little Pantry @ IOI Mall

To make a decision where to lunch or dinners are always a headache for me. I have to think of what to cook or what to eat if it's eating outside. So, when I am clueless, I would plan to turn to some new places to eat. 

Few days ago, Little Pantry is my solution. It is a newly opened restaurant in IOI Mall which is serving Western and Asian fusion with European Home concept.

 This restaurant is decorated in two dominant colors: PINK & WHITE.. The interior design and decoration is very detailed and neat yet sweet!! Dominated with mainly white and sweet pastel pink color, it is divided into three sections: the inside, the garden and the street.

I'm playing the decorations thingy while wauting for food ^^V



And since White Valentine just gone. The place was also adorned with heart shape balloons deco and lovely presents with music playing softly in the background.

  

The decorations for White Valentine's Day



The MENU they provided also in PINK color... Awww~ just sweet~



All the waiter and waitress are dressed in cute matching uniforms. Especially few girls dressed in pink color maid costume.

 

The food portion is quite big. The food is yummylicious as what we expected since we step in here.

Beef Bolognaise (Me), Al-Funghi Fettuccine (Stephy)

This place is perfect for BFFs and couples and even family - lunch, dinner or even tea-time.

A Doctor Treats You with Meals

Restaurant, cafe, and bistro spring up across the city like the mushroom after rain, to stood up itself, it might have something special or unique to grab the awareness. 

I was pay a visit to my aunt's house at Johor last week, cousin-sis was hosted and brought me around Johor, the one which most impressed me is this, Tabletop Enterprise. 

La~la~la~~~

Tabletop Enterprise is a hospital-themed restaurant, just as its name implies, here are decorate like a hospital.

The counter / reception

This hospital-themed décor with hospital beds and wheelchairs as seats, yet waiter and waitresses clad in nurse uniform and the Western-style meals complemented with sauce-filled syringes for a unique dining experience.

Besides that, as this restaurant is targeting teenagers and young adults, they were prepared variety of board games like Bohnanza, Power Grid and Alhambra. Too bad we didn't take the chance on those board game. 

Reserved zone

You can wear the doctor's robe which prepared by restaurant

Wheelchair as seat

Syringe as the container of sauces is amusingly

What an experience from this hospital-theme restaurant, the decoration of hospital equipments such entertaining and diverting, it's such "professional" and "well-found" like a real hospital.

Wish there are more and more theme-restaurant will set up in our country, let consumers have a good place to go. Take a look there when you are around Johor  =)
