S'Mores Bar-Restaurant-Chill Out @ Bangsar South

I know it's been a while since my last update but heck I am getting lazier now to post. Don't ask me why. Maybe due to life commitment or work. But it's upsetting to see my blog left unattended for so long. I still eat around and snap lots of pictures but I don't really have the time to update them in here. After a long morning of sorting out my pictures from my phone, so here goes. S'Mores is located over at Bangsar South which I heard about since last year. I was actually looking forward to their beef burgers but was disappointed that I can't find any over there during my visit. 

So I browsed through their set menu and saw some pasta under their set lunch. Decided to go with that. I ordered a mushroom soup as usual to warm up the old stomach before the main course. Well, it's your usual mushroom soup from the cane if I am not mistaken. Better save the money. 

I can't decide on either ordering their chicken or pasta and at the end decided to go with their cream sauce pasta. Damn, I made a huge mistake. The Alfredo based sauce is too watery to my delight and the portion is that sufficient either. Looks nice but don't really fancy me at all.  

My lunch buddy decided to go for their Pesto base pasta which was a good choice indeed. Well at least it's way better than mine. The mint flavor from the Pesto sauce is quite strong although I still prefer the one from Louisiana better. But this is acceptable for me. 

 In short, cream sauce fail, pesto sauce save the day. Although it's just a set lunch I do have quite high expectation on my pasta. And this cream sauce just didn't pass the average line. 

There's plenty of seats inside and it's air condition which is really good. Like the atmosphere as it's good to bring your customer for a lunch or meeting ending with some beers on the side. 

They do have some promo going on for Happy Hour kakis at night. They served beers and liquors too. Not sure how's the crowd at night but I heard it's quite alright. Maybe you can drop by some day and let me know how's your lunch/dinner goes. Cheers~!

Tom, Dick & Harry's Restaurant

It's been really some time since my last visit to Tom, Dick & Harry (TDH). The place hasn't really changed that much. Well maybe just getting older. But the crowd is still there. Seeing lots of locals sitting back and hitting the beers when we arrived. Actually our objective for that night would be Hoofed but sadly it was closed for a private function. So we didn't really wanna travel else where so we just dine in down stairs. 

Ordered something small to share around. Fried button mushroom. It's a bit too plain and tasteless for all of us. Luckily  there's sauce and mayo to go with it.  

It's either this or the Pork Burger. Well, since it's Harry's favorite so I guess it's the cheese burger instead.   The set comes with some salad on the side and a whole lot of fries too. 

It's a 150g beef patty topped with a melted cheese and sitting on a piece of large slice of pineapple. Some sort like a Hawaiian style burger. Patty was almost juicy but a bit too salty for me. Isn't that bad but I had better with Hungry Hog and for half the price too. 

The bangers and mash comes with a sausage sitting or rather sleeping on top of the mash potato. Friend said it's not that nice. A simple dish which goes wrong I guess. Didn't really tried it since I was getting really full from the dessert coming soon. 

My friend wanted to try out their Creme brulee but it was also another disaster. Well not as much as the next one. The upper layer part of the dessert is a bit too thick. Maybe they added too much sugar on top when they torch it that time. 

 This could be the best part of the dishes that night. I know dessert supposed to be sweet, but this is way too much for all of us. It's actually snickers and mars chocolate bar fried to crisp. It wasn't oily which is good but damn it's sweet. I think it's not a really good choice to mix them around. But luckily the dish did come with a small vanilla ice cream at the side for you to mix it around. Well that helps a bit but we didn't even finish off this dessert. 

We ordered some some beers and hang around before making our quick get away. The place seemed to get more crowds  in after 8pm. As usual I guess for a place serving beers. Food is still not  the important part of the place I guess. But I do expect better quality of food in a place like this. Overall, we did had some good time chatting with my other friend fiddling with her iPhone whole night long. They have another new branch over at Scott's Garden along Jalan Klang Lama. Maybe it's better over there.

Movida Kitcher.Bar.Kitchen.Lounge

 

I was actually wanted to try out Cravings over at Sunway Giza but ended up at this place called Movida. It's actually a bar cum lounge which served food during lunch hour too. My ex-colleague told me that this place served some kind of a buffet during lunch hour. Actually I (we) are still looking for a place other than Louisiana for some good all you can eat lunch.  Coming back to Movida. We arrived around 12.15 and we are among the first to arrive. Not much sign of the buffet available but we did asked the waiter and he confirm it's available. 

After reading the above, I realized that their 'eat-all-you-can' has a 'catch' on it. As you can see above, the buffet style lunch only provide a all you can eat on their dessert and soup. You can only choose one main course for the price of RM14.80 NETT. This is a bit of a let down as who can drink 5 over bowl of mushroom soup or 5 plates of salad?

This is the salad section with tons of fresh salad for us to feast on. But as I mentioned earlier, how many plate do they expect us to eat? Unless you are on a diet and salad is your new best friend. 

They are serving mushroom soup that day. My favorite kind of soup but we will see how it really taste later.

 

 Salad isn't that bad but not much to brag about but fresh. 

Back to the soup. Totally disastrous. This had got to be one of the top 3 worst soup I had. I like my soup thick but this is just too much. It's too thick and worst, the powder isn't diluted well. And when we queried the waiter bout this, he had the nerve to say it's just the way they serve their soup. WTH?!!

Let's go to the main course now. Hopefully the main is better than the appetizers. I had ordered their grilled lamb with pasta on the side. The whole meal really does looked appetizing after the sad start on the appetizers. Grilled lamb was a bit hard to bite off but tasted alright. Spaghetti was really bad. Couldn't really taste anything. Sad sad meal. 

My friend had ordered their chicken chop and it wasn't what he expected. Maybe the taste is good? Portion was really small. Chicken was normal and the only thing worth mentioning is the croquet potato. It's actually potato mixed with cheese and cooked to crisp. 

OK, overall, I can summarize this place up pretty easy. I think you can guess what is my answer too by now. Not worth my money at all. Only spend your money here if someone is buying. Maybe the bar is better at night. Not sure how good is the ala-carte dishes in the menu, but not sure I am taking that chance again soon.

Skewers @ Subang Avenue

 I had actually been to this particular place called Skewers 1 or two months back for some beers with my gym mates. Then I saw their menu which offers one of my favorite dish, burgers. Fat juicy patties. So I had finally managed to give place a visit during my birthday. Babe don't have any preference when it comes to dinner venue. So I had to find a place where it's convenient for the both of us since we had movie over at Pyramid beforehand. So this place would just be perfect. It was around 6pm when we arrive that day, so there wasn't much customers. Good~ Heard that their patties are good so decided to have that for my main.

Since I know I won't be satisfied so easily, I had decided to ordered some side dishes to go with my main. So many to choose from and finally decided on their gourmet chillies fries. It's actually steak fries topped with chilli corn carne and melted mozzarella cheese. OK, the mozzarella part caught my attention. It's like putting A&W corny dog sauce on top of hot melted cheese and fries. Not bad, but make sure you finish it fast or the fries will become cold and soft.

I am contemplating whether to order their double patty or single and finally decided to go with their Ultimate glutton burger since I had ordered one side dish. My choice is correct. The single patty is damn large all together. As you can see, other than the burger, you have the salad and also steak fries too. This is really large. The burger consists of a 150g patty mixed with herbs & spices. Again it's mixed together with chilli corn carne (which contain beef), melted shredded cheddar cheese, fried egg, tomatoes, salad leaves, tortilla chips, gherkins & jalapenos. Man, that is a long list of ingredients to pack into one single burger. Trust me, it's huge.

As you can see, the yolk is oozing out from in between the patty. Damn it's so damn glutton as the name says. I am not sure if they do it on purpose or accidental, but I like my patty really much. Not the best I had but definitely one of the good ones. And recommended too. I'd read before that their patty are too dry, but maybe they had improve it after some feedback from the customers.

Babe decided to try their sandwich as she is not that hungry that night. It's boneless chicken with special Thai lemongrass marinated on it. On the side you have some of their pilaf rice and butter vegetables. The bread seemed a bit plain but babe like it. She particularly love the pilaf rice as it's so delicious according to her. Heck, it's not even the main in the dish. Sandwich to me was alright. Nothing spectacular but filling. I mean for the price you're paying, it's quite generous.

What to drink? A good pint of Hoegaarden of course to cleanse all those food down. Ambiance is alright and the service is good. Maybe cause there's not much crowd at that time. During the dinner, an ex staff came in and she shouted at the other staff. Found out that she was requesting her salary but in a really rude and loud way. Kept on telling the other people to F**K OFF!! Damn~ I am paying for food and a good show at the same time. It's also a good place to chill out with friends having some good beers too.
