[Food] Miam Miam @ 1Utama

An interesting restaurant with very interesting menu. The aglio olio with miso ( forget the name ) was amazing.
Spaghetti coated with a flavorful sauce with a distinct Japanese taste.

Aglio olio with miso! Forget the name

Some kinda egg souffle! Also forgot the name but it's definitely my first time seeing this. A wobbly eggy foam sits atop creamy rice. Didn't taste great to me, and is very cloying.

Egg souffle! Forget the name also

This Japanese curry rice was also nice, it was very rich and well covered with the sweet Jap curry sauce.
Some rice with Jap curry
Dessert seems to be their forte here. There are many interesting desserts to choose from. Green tea souffle had a very fragrant green tea aroma.
Green Tea Souffle!

Their famed French Toast. We had to wait quite some time for this. It was nice, the bread was soft inside and went well with the cream. I was kinda expecting ice cream here but it was cream instead. Not sure if this really deserved the fame and the wait. Don't get me wrong it is nice, just not as great as the hype.

Their famous French Toast.

[Food] Clan Dim Sum @ Sri Petaling

Dim sum! One of my favourite breakfasts. Clan Dim Sum is said to be one of the best around.
I found the Kai Woh Pau amazing, nice porridge and good siu mai.
Unfortunately the Har Kuen is just average.
The Har Kow is bad. Skin is too thick, prawns overcooked.
Ahhh I should really start looking for good Har Kow places, right now I can't think of any dim sum place serving amazing Har Kow. Maybe it's time to try looking at hotels?

[Food] Tokyo Kitchen @ One City




I visited the newly open One City recently. It looks promising. With a nice view ( kinda? housing view? ) and interesting open rooftop. Not many shops were opened yet, so I settled for Tokyo Kitchen.



 The deco was nice but unfortunately not the same for the food. Looks like it was run only by foreign workers, the food was bad and not what I expected for the steep price. Salmon sushi tasted like it was from Jusco. I really hope this was because they have only recently opened. It would be a shame as there were interesting items on the menu but if the quality remains as this low level I doubt it would survive. Plenty of other Jap restaurants are also opening nearby and even one on the rooftop level which has prices lower than this.

Awesome Pumpkin Tofu

Salted Egg Mantis, hard to go wrong

[Food] Garage 51 @ Sunway


     It wasn't that long ago when Subang and surrounding areas did not have any decent coffee nearby. Now with several like Coffea coffee and Flat White opening in SS15, finally Subang has some nice cafes to choose from. SS15 has always been a crowded nightmare, thankfully Coffee Societe has opened a cafe in Sunway instead, amidst the car garages ( thus the name ).


I was there just for coffee, and it was good. I am no expert so I can't tell what beans from where or any other fancy coffee descriptions. For me, it tastes good then it's good :)

[Food] BBQ Thai - Old Klang Road


Tuk-tuk in KL!

   Located on the busy Old Klang Road, right beside Coco Steamboat, BBQ Thai is a beautifully decorated Thai restaurant with good food. I like the deco, simple and nice. A lot of it done with recycled materials, pails for lamps, water containers for a bar.With nice little huts separating the diners it gives a little more privacy to enjoy the meal with your friends.






Deep fried kangkung

Can't go wrong with Salted Egg Squid

Lovely otak-otak

Nice sour tomyam, For me maybe it needs a bit more sweetness.

Amazing pork neck. I would say it is nicer than the one in Awet Thai

The bill came up to around RM 155 for 5 people.
