BBQ Chicken (Jaya One)

At first glance, this restaurant looked like a normal but colorful restaurant with simple table arrangements compared to other restaurants in Jaya One...
But dont be fooled...it has the best grilled chicken i hav ever had...the chicken literally melts in your mouth. The herbs used to marinate the chicken are heavenly.
Best of all, this restaurant uses only olive oil to prepare all their food including french fries...talking about eating healthy



Jerk Chicken - This is really one of the best grilled chicken done perfectly, leaving the outer skin a lil bit charred while inside remains tender..


Grilled chicken burger - Imagining of it makes me salivate..it is the best burger one can hav, consisting of only grilled lean meat sandwiched in between two soft buns(dislikes normal burger patties which contents are unknown). The juice from the griled chicken oozes out and drips in every bite. It represents the healthy side of burger.


The fries are also another attracting factor on the platter. These fries are delicious, with large cuts and fried to golden brown..its best to go with the BBQ/Tomato ketchup


Nothing to shout about the "oh, so normal" garden salad..priced at the high side..i dont think it is value for money


compared with my version of the salad done at home..(half the price with prawns in it too)..delicious....




Pros: Tenderlicious chicken, nice fries + good bbq ketchup sauce

Cons: Dull design(Jaya One branch), long waiting time, Price just increased 30% recently. The fat undeneath the grilled chicken needs to be minimized or taken out for health purpose.

Result: 8/10

Noble House buffet

This is another outdated, old posting...

Noble House in Imbi offer a buffet lunch exclusive on every sunday at the price of RM 39++ for buffet plus a bowl of braised shark fin.... For person who wanted to feel more 'duluxe', they can try the RM 50++ buffet which come with double boiled shark fin in chicken wings...

The best part of the restaurant is not just the food but the ambience and the landscape and design of the whole restaurant.


The buffet lineup is seperated to few parts - dim sum, soup, claypot food, main course, and dessert.

Here go pictures and more pictures to summarize this post...

Fong Lye Taiwan Restaurant (The Gardens)

I made it a point to try the food in this restaurant coz it seems so darn good, whereby long queues of customers are willing to wait outside of the restaurant before they can obtain a table...(they are also served with green tea while waiting)

The immediate feel was that im actually in Taiwan coz their waiter and waitresses doesnt look like locals...the guys look like taiwanese from the mountains (traits like superstar taiwanese singer A-Mei)

The menu includes rice sets, mini steamboat, and other typical taiwanese dishes..(the fried sweet potato ball are quite popular).
The prices are not exhorbitant considering that it is located in one of the most exclusive malls in Malaysia.

However, there seem to be limited space and my table is placed too near to another customer's table(around feet), creating an uncomfortable and no privacy to chat while waiting for food to arrive..


This is not the typical ice kacang(ABC)- includes sweet potato, yam, green + red bean, and ice cream
But does not justify its price(very expensive for just a normal dessert)


This set comes with rice set and claypot chicken cooked with a type of very fragrant leaves...
The rice, topped with pork gives a very nice fragrant and taste to the bowl of rice(cant help but to finish it)...



This set comes with fresh fish fillet cooked in tomato+eggs (the eggs tasted very tangy and fresh)




Pros: Nice ambiance, good taste, good service

Cons: Tables too close, waiting time for food too long

Result: 7/10

Restoran Sifu ( Mahkota Cheras)

This restaurant was previously established selling solely "lap mei" products..eg. chicken/ duck, egg, pork instestines etc, soaked in a dark soy broth for an aged effect and to make it tastier...the demand was poor...

Fearing that the business might not last, the boss reworked the menu and came out with some really good dishes to whet our insatiable appetite...and the results was an instant hit, filled with customers to the brink during dinner

located just opposite the Mahkota Cheras mini lakegarden + children's playground, the view is perfect during the evening when childrens and adults filled the playground and jogging path...

Anyway, lets come back to the food...
The presentation of the dishes there are quite unique..



Tofu + Egg on hot plate


Fish fillet + crispy chicken skin + kung pow chicken dices


Honey marmite pork ribs


Sambal Kangkung (very crunchy)


Fish in soysauce cooked in a huge claypot - this has the best presentation whereby the waiter takes the claypot still covered, then poured fresh onions etc. and then mixed it before serving



To wrap it up, the Unique presentation caught my attention, the taste of the dishes are "ngam ngam ho"(all dishes complements each other),

Bonus:Nice view of the park

Result: 7.5/10 (0.5 is for the view..haha)

Fireman Steamboat BBQ ( Jaya One )

my first encounter with this style of steamboat dates back to 3 years ago when i had a buffet sushi package for lunch in the japanese restaurant located at the upmost level of Sungei Wang(with a trademark train used to revolve its sushis)

It was interesting at first coz the upper part will be used to grill meat while the part below is similar to traditional steamboat where u can just throw in literally anything and wait for it to cook....

However, it turned out to be an unpleasant meal coz all the butter used to grill the meat and the charred residue will eventually fall into the broth, creating an unpleasant dark broth...anyway, the restaurant is not related to this post as i will introduce Fireman BBQ Steamboat today..

I found out that they were having promotion at RM 19.90 per person for buffet dinner...seems like a good deal since the price is slashed from the original price of RM 29.90 per person

The ambiance was quite relaxing with clear flow of fresh air and humidifiers, which is important since its an indoor steamboat restaurant and u wouldnt want the customers to complain about the hot and stuffy air inside...

Customer service was meagre coz the waiters are all foreigners, and only one speaks simple english, hence there are communication breakdowns...However, i presume u dont need waiters with good command of english since customers will just need to tick on the leaflets and pass it to them for more servings of food..

The restaurant uses electric stove instead the gas stove, hence, safer and lesser heat generated...

When the grilling and cooking session started, there was a sence of dreadfulness due to my previous experience of the dark and oily broth...
However, after dozens of chicken cutlerts, pork ham, etc are grilled, the broth still remains clear...This may be attributed to the use of a piece of pig fat to oil the grilling part, Hence, substituting the butter while minimizing charrs during the grilling process..




Theres also a performance by the "fireman"


Chicken grilled was quite tender which results in melt in ur mouth sensation


Varieties of other vegetables and meat related products offered


Saw that piece of pig fat on top?? Very useful for grilling + substitues butter


Pros: Nice ambiance/refreshing, the broth stays clear from charred residues, performance by Mr Fireman

Cons: Lack of variety of dishes (felt bored after requesting for same dishes over and over again), poor communication skills by employees

Result: 5/10

Pasta De Gohan (Sunway Pyramid)

The name Gohan reminds me of the son of Son Goku from the Mutiara Naga (BM version of Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama). Hence, its kinda weird to relate it to pasta...coz when i see the name, Kame Hame Ha and Gelombang Jiwa comes into my mind...haha

However, decided to try it after passing by so many times while shopping at Sunway Pyramid..

I expected to be pay a premium for the pastas there when i step into the restaurant...
However, to my suprise...theres actually discount for meal sets up to 30%-50%(only applicable in the afternoon if im not mistaken)...and it was a darn good deal..

So, i proceeded to the orders and found out that items listed in the menu are quite unique from the conventional italian pastas...this is kinda like a hybrid of pasta with an ummph of japanese influence since its named after Son Goku's son...



Fish Roe with Potato baked in cheese




Chesse Pasta with Grilled Pork Strips



Pasta pan fried with mini chicken cutlets


Overall, it was quite satisfying especially the super rich cheese they used in the baked dishes

However, the richness of the cheese has overpowered other natural taste that should complement each other on the platter...

Rating 6/10

Thai Fish Farm Restaurant

Last week, we planned for a BDO gathering and celebrate all good things

1. Farewell
2. Find New Job
3. Birthday
4. ACCA

and all sort of thing under the sun....

So of all the place, Justine and Christine Loo decided to go for Thai Fish Farm Restaurant in Hulu Langat. I do some research about this restaurant and all I know is we need a 4 wheel drive to make our way there.....But basically when I told my friend this, my friend said, Waja also got 4 wheel what so can go la....

Ok Ok...fine....So we headed there....We have to use trial and error formula to find this place since none of us know the place...

What happen next is nightmare....Frankly speaking to come this place beside needed a 4 wheel drive, what you need is BRAVERY!!! Yeah..that is the polite word rather than saying GUTS...

The road toward the restaurant is 100 time more challenging than driving to Genting... No light, rocky road, full with bump and hump, sloping and hilly, thick forestry and slippery....That is the condition of the area....This is why I personally thinking we are more to expedition to hunt a tiger rather than eating

So we end up there around 8.40pm with empty stomach. Though we have make booking earlier, there is no table to put 19 of us....So we waited for 15 minutes....Than we were ask to carry our own plate...That is Ok....Then they give us all forks and spoon while all of us waiting for the person to clean the place....

Then we all seated and waited for our food... We order 2 plate each for
1. Kangkung Belacan
2. Paku Belacan
3. Sei Tai Thian Wong (4 majesty vege)
4. Ginger steam chicken
5. Lime leave fried chicken
6. Tom Yam Soup
7. Steam sweet and sour fish (which end up super HOT)
8. BBQ cheese Japanese Clam (Escargot)
9. BBQ Crab
10. BBQ Cockle
11. BBQ Squid

Long story cut short...2 hours later we end up eating only:

1. Kangkung Belacan 1 plate
2. Paku Belacan 2 plate
3. Steam Fish 1 plate
4. Tom Yam Soup 2 bowl
5. BBQ squid 2 plate
6. Lime Leave fried chicken 2 plate
7. Ginger chicken 1 plate
8. Sei Tai Thian Wong 1 plate

and total bill......RM 180...quite ok la but service wise...not so good...Waited so long, see those who come later get to eat those crab while we waited and waited just to know the crab is sell off....

Not worth for the journey and your car tyre....

So we end our night at Look Out Point and have some drink...

Sorry no photo since we all are hungry like fresh release prisoner...So all food finish within second...Imagine 19 of us....Haha

Ogawa Restaurant

When you hear Ogawa, what is the first thing that come to your mind?

A massage chair? Am i right?

Few days ago, when my friend treat me to Cafe SavahnToo in Plaza Mont Kiara we bump into this restaurant name Ogawa. Since we do not want to spent so much money eating at the cafe as we just wanted to go in and have some drink, so we decided to have dinner here.

The food here wasn't that bad and i spotted that majority of the customer are japanese. I believe this mean the food here must be very 'JAPANESE' then....

It might be quite pricy but for the service and food, I think it is quite reasonable. If you don't mind treating yourself a good lunch and enjoy with someone you like, this place is truely a place to be....
