Chili's

Recently, I made my first visit to Chili’s. I have heard a lot about this restaurant from my friends but I have never being there.

The portion is huge and quality food is served. It’s suitable for sharing (2 pax). The 2 dishes that I have tried so far are quite nice.

Restaurants: Degrading Quality

During the times of economy crisis, I noticed that some restaurants in the effort of cutting cost, has degraded their food quality. My recent visit to some of my favourite restaurants below has been disappointing:

1. Momo Japanese Restaurant @ Centre Point, BU
2. Uno Pizza @ Centre Point, BU
3. Ichiban Boshi @ Pavilion

The quantity is a bit less and the taste is a bit out for Momo Japanese Restaurant. As for Uno Pizza, I noticed that the quantity has decreased as well. As for Ichiban Boshi, they no longer served free warm water and I noticed that there’s some decreased in the food quality. The salmon skin appetizer in the set has been replaced by some tasteless little crackers. The dessert shown in the menu is orange, but they always serve with watermelon. They told me that the oranges are out of stock for all my recent visits.

I wonder if everyone has this same experience when visiting their favourite restaurants? Or it’s just a coincidence that they served me poorer quality of food…

Kampong Claypot Loh See Fun

This claypot loh see fun shop in TTDI is highly recommended by a friend. We went there during lunch time and it was almost full! Of course, the customers there all ordered claypot loh see fun. A medium one is suitable for 2 pax.

Wong Poh

I would like to recommend a seafood restaurant for crab at Aman Suria – Wong Poh. This restaurant sells a variety of crab. The highly recommended dish there is its butter crab. I have tried other varieties such as sweet and sour crab and marmite crab. They taste normal though.

Ichiban Boshi

Recently, Ichiban Boshi at Pavilion has a new set meal for RM 17.90 (excluding tax and service charge) – fried chicken, fruits, miso soup, appetizer (salmon skin), combination of mushrooms, egg and tofu, and rice. It’s nice and the portion is huge!

Full House

Recently I found this cute café/restaurant called Full House in Niu Ze Xui @ Ara Damansara. The concept is Korean-based. The shop consists of 2 levels and the decoration is quite unique. They even have their own mascots! They also sell some decorative items and clothes there. However, the food is so-so only.

Team Lunch @ Moussandra

Last quarter, my team had our team lunch at Moussandra, which is located at Jalan Bukit Bintang. They are serving Mediterranean food and tapas there. The drinks there – limited selections and they are package drinks. As for the food there, overall, it is okay. Many of the food there are not to my liking – blue cheese, Moussaka. Some of them I find it okay only. My dish is nice though.
