Tony Roma's, The Curve

I will do the updates since Xtine is so lazyyy, you watch out! So last Saturday we had class gathering at Tony Roma's, The curve on the 19th of July 2008. It was quite awesome though, still okay. Spent damn a lot on that day itself, die lar! Already so broke, still need to spend till I burn a big big hole in my own pocket. DAMN!


Somehow, I just feel this picture should look better than it is. Trust me, it doesn't look that suckie in reality. Chocolate Sundae Avalanche Martinis - RM12.90; chocolate brownies with chocolate syrup and scoop of vanilla ice-cream.


Onion ring, Xtine's all time favourite! - Okie, so shit! Forgotten the price. More or less about RM12.90 too. *she loves the sauce!*


Tony Roma's is okay, I won't say it is heavenly but not too bad also. And I personally feel the price i slightly too expensive, not so reasonable. ~ A shop more to American style~

PHOP @ The Curve (re-re-revisit)

Had our dinner at Paddington, The Curve. Serious, no joke we love it. Service was quite good, it's just that the staff look quite pervert and he walked very near to you while talking. I should give him a warning, else his saliva will spit all over my face. HAHA =) I'm such a meanie. Ok enough.

As a reminder, a small glass of water costs 50cents and it is not refillable nor bottomless. So bear in mind of that before you order H2O.


Double G Sausage - RM22.50. Sorry, I can't remember G stands for what.


Okie, I serious love this dollar pancakes. Chocolate Chippies Banana - RM12.50


San Francisco, it was actually dory fillet - RM20.50


Tokyo - RM18.50. We feel that One Utama's branch Tokyo dish taste better.


They topped something which looks really like hamster faeces on mashed potato. Wait, we did asked them what's it but I forgotten what you called it. Xtine feels that it looks like tavia.


Overall, no comments and it was just great. Don't know la, I like! =)

PHOP (revisit)

Yeah, I finally revisit PHOP just for their pancakes. And found out that it's called Sweet Dipping Dollars, not Sweet Dipping Chocolate. Came with three different dippings of caramel, peanut butter and chocolate; and ample of little dollar pancakes with slices of banana and apricots with peanuts. And yeah, with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream topped with strawberry jam. =)


Sweet Dipping Dollars - RM17.00


Waaa, not bad la me. At least I returned there and got a taste of the pancakes that I've longed since my last visit. I like banana! Dipped it with chocolate. Eat it together with dollar pancakes. Tasted so GOOD! I like!

Paddington House of Pancake

4th July 2008
Finally had our brunch at PHOP @ One Utama branch. It was indeed a fantabulous brunch and we really enjoyed it. Quite a great recommendation though! ;p The menu is so thick and heavy, flipped and flipped and flipped, made me feeling ordering this , and that and everything. Okay, enough of exaggeration. As I know, they are famous for pancakes!

Well, Xtine ordered ....... Pannekoek. And it tasted great. Except for the raw vegetable which taste so raw-y. Got such word? Ahaha, whatever. The smashed potato was very fine and smooth.

Xtine : this tasted really nice except for the vegetable wrapped up in flour (issit flour?) bcuz it tasted so 'empty' i meant it was so tasteless ofcourse.. hehe n this dish is called TOKYO (RM 18.50)


I wanted a heavier meal and hence, decided to order Honolulu which look exactly like a crispy crust pizza with tomato, pineapple, mushroom and chicken ham toppings. And CHEESE! I personally think they came in a large proportion, or maybe not that large, just slightly more than average.



Honolulu - RM19.50


As for Karmen, she ordered pancakes which erm, I can't remember what is it called. But it was almost perfect. Pancakes with mapple syrup, banana and strawberry jam. Did I left out any?
Ya Ya, i hav to agree with san that this pancake tasted really nice.. definitely will go back for more!!!



Pancakes, not sure about it's name. I will return for Sweet Dipping Chocolate Pancake for sure!! I'LL BE BACK!


Honestly, I did not regret dining at PHOP though it was quite expensive, at least those delicious food make worth my money. And if you celebrate your birthday there, you will be rewarded a special birthday pancake. Overall, it was a great journey to PHOP. *wink*

Wendy's Bistro

24th June


I received a call from my bro saying that he wants to take me out for a lunch.

He heard of Wendy's Bistro at Sunway Mentari recently, since its so near to my coll ofcourse we went there to try out. Reached there around 1 pm.


The environment there was quite comfortable and peaceful bcuz there was very little customer inside at that time. We sat down n looked at the menu. As i was flipping through, i realize that there are no steaks served, feeling a bit disappointed, i looked for lamb but there is only one choice. They dun have many varieties of pasta there. Then only i realize that their main specialties are pork. @.@. i dont feel like ordering porks for their price (quite costly) so i got no choice but to order some chef recommendation dish other than porks.

After ordering, i looked around the restaurant and realize that the have open kitchen style. their kitchen are small. N the worst part is the chef. I dont know should i refer them as chef or maids.. bcuz there are two women standing inside the kitchen who looks like indonesian maids to me.




Then i turned to my bro, "Their chef look so not professional le"

My BRo, "Erm.. "

Me, (trying to make ourselves feel better) "but never try never noe la hor"

Bro, "Yes" (can hear that he is trying to convince himself that they can cook nice food) swt =.="




It cost around RM30++. Tasted nice at first but then it got quite yucky after eating 1/2 of it.. also the salmon tasted average onli..



My brother ordered their set lunch (i forgot the price). He ordered the grilled pork belly. It tasted like our normal chinese hawkers stall char siew, even some of the hawkers char siew tasted better than theirs. Their porks are not smooth at all n its quite hard swallowing the same thing after eating quarter of the porks.


WHile we are trying real hard to force those food into our stomach, to my horror, i realize that the waiter can just walk freely into the kitchen n start cooking >.<>

Then i saw one guy so busily walking up n down ordering the waitress to do this do that, so i just stared at him because he might be the manager there. He looked back, "Hows the food? can? can?" Me n my bro looked at him with a big YUCK on our expression, "Not that good"

But he just walked away @.@ BAD!
*seriously, this shop really gonna cheat people's money. don't ever step into this shop.*

Guess that will be my first and last visit to Wendy's Bistro. First, food sucks. Secondly, Unhygienic, Thirdly, Quite costly >.<

Xtine's favourite (probably San's too ^^) - RAKUZEN

Hie peeps!! ^^
this is xtine's first post!! and it so happens that today is my birthday *cheers*,
ofcourse i MUST HAVE a PERFECT meal!! I'll start of with a great dinner at rakuzen in my first post.

I'm too lucky this year for my bday cuz i manage to eat at Rakuzen yesterday and also today! *big wet eyes* haha. but both dinner with different people ofcourse, cuz i'm probably the only one around me that never gets bored with japanese food ^^

but unfortunately i din get to snap pictures for my dinner with my mom yest cuz i FORGOT *smacks forehead* =.=" but its okay, cuz yesterday's meal wasnt that great, i had it in waterfront desa parkcity bcuz its just within walking distance from my house.

But TODAY, me n my bf headed to the other branch (which i prefer better) which is located at Plaza Damas (Hartamas Shopping Centre). This is my third trip there. Firstly, this outlet's environment is much more comfortable and provides you more privacy bcuz they have small and big compartments for couples and also for families. Secondly, i personally find that the salmon here are more fresh and the food here are tastier (but no worries, the outlet at waterfront is still up to quality). Thirdly, there are lots of real japanese people coming, so i assume they will care a lot for their food's quality, and also its located in hartamas (haha i dunno y but i feel its relevant swt)

Ok Ok! Photos photos and less crappings! >.< First dish - Seasoned baby octopus * RM 10, i felt its a bit expensive bcuz of the small proportion but oh well, luckily it tasted good!*











Second dish - Salmon Sashimi Zen (My favourite not his)
*RM 30, 7 thick and juicy salmon sashimi which is VERY FRESH, couldn't have enough of them >.<. All the salmon lovers out there, this dish is a MUST!

















* Itz soo thick n juicy,mmm (Mother yanx! now u understand y me n san kept raving bout the salmon in rakuzen XP) *yeah, both Xtine and San love this dish very muchie!!*

Third dish - Stamina roll
RM 28 - This dish is surprisingly large bcuz they really give u a whole roasted eel as stated in the menu @.@ there's also omelette within the rice, overall this dish is still not a bad choice ^^





Fourth dish - Chicken Terriyaki Zen
RM 28 - My bf ordered this bcuz we havent try their chicken terriyaki b4. This dish was also ok. Perhaps when it doesnt taste bad, its considered good enough already. ^^



Fourth dish - Dragon roll (this is highly recommended!! XD)
RM 28 - the dragon roll is me n my bf's all time favourite after my salmon sashimi. all thanks to my sis-in-law for recommending it haha. the taste of the fried shrimp is perfect with the avocado topping and the mayonnaise. This is another one that i couldnt get enough of it also!!! *omfg!! I freakin' lurve this dragon roll laaaa.*

it looks so wonderful rite?? ^^

That's all we ordered. Thx to the waitress who gave a such a small table so we ended up cramming everything we have in the small table >.< but i like the seats though, so small n cosy ^^ haha n we even purposely waited for all our dish to come so we can snap picture of all the dishes in one shot. look how crammed our table is ....

BUT we managed to finish up everything on our table!!! haha such appetite me n my bf have.. Our bill sum up to RM 146++. actually it's just RM126 thx to the RM20 of service charge n tax >.< After leaving Rakuzen at ard 9.30 pm, we decided to walk around the shopping centre but was surprised to see 95% of the shops are all closed ady, so early rite? but luckily we still managed to get a tiramisu from san terri cake house which is located near the escalator, on the same row as rakuzen, since i dun feel like getting a cake for my bday. The tiramisu taste nicer than the first time i tried it in san terri (manjalara) with san n mother yanx (haha yanxia u sound so old la)
RM 7

there goes my first post for the blog, forgive me bcuz this is my first time havin a blog and i'm not very good in explaining the taste of food in detail. And this simple blog took me almost 2 hours swt=.="

OMG i forgot to say something bout my dinner at rakuzen on saturday. Me n my mom shared a unagi to sushi zen (something like that) and also a spider roll.

Again, i can never get with unagi haha.. This Unagi to sushi zen cost RM48 and it tasted as usually NICE :) but the spider roll was disappointing to me. The soft shell crab was not as crispy as it used to taste and the crab was so meat-less. What disturbs me the most is the shell, isnt it suppose to be soft? its barely edible that i had to spit it out .. =.="

But its okay, at least the sunday dinner was very satisfying to me :)

Bel Pasto Italian Restaurant

27th June 2008
Had our dinner at Bel Pasto together with YX & Karmen. This food trip was located at Aman Puri somewhere near Kepong area. Well, it is directly opposite of Aman Puri's Mc Donald, quite easy to find, no worries at all. This shop is owned by two English man, they are the main cook too. Food served was quite good, friendly service with a smile given (make each penny of the 10% service tax worth), and a pretty romantic ambiance with Italian classical songs being played.

Penne Arabbiata. This is the cheapest pasta among all. As I can remember, it costs less than rm10. Consists of penne, tomato sauce, olive and vegetables. Not bad after all.


Chicken Lasagna. The top layer looks cheesy and tempting ey. =)


Italian Risotto Rice. Also known as chessy fried rice in Italian style.


Pizza Quatro. Four different toppings of ham, beef, pineapple and pepperoni.


The complimentary dessert, Tiramisu. I would say this dessert is perfect and very satisfying. Remain scrumptious eventhough we were all bloated up. ;p


Overall, this Italian dinner wasn't bad and it was an enjoyable one. So, why not give a try there when you have no suggestion on where to eat? Cheers! =D
