Restaurant Good Time @ Bandar Puteri

After a long shopping at KL the whole day it was time for dinner. So decided to try out this place in Bandar Puteri which served steamboat buffet. Since it's raining the whole evening so steamboat should be the best dinner. It's located across the street from Public Bank.

Saw my favorite fast food while scouting around the bar, french fries. It's hot, soft and salty. They also served fried wanton and also other tit bits for appetizer while waiting for the water to boil.

This is one of the tit bits which really worth mentioning, pandan chicken. It's wrapped with pandan leave and once unwrapped come this juicy succulent pandan flavoured chicken. Damn it's really nice.

Over here they served fried chicken wings which I tried and tasted not that bad. At least you don't need to fight for your wings over here.

OK, now for the best part of the steamboat. They served inductive type steamboat and also the conventional carcoil type. So I opted for the latter. Don't worry, they will heat the charcoil up before they served to you.

There is three type of soup over here, which are Tom Yam, Herbal and also Fish Head. We choose the fish head and also herbal. I like the fish head as there is also sea weed and also salted vegetables in the soup together with some sliced fish. Nice~!!!

They served the usual dishes which you can see in any other buffet steamboat restaurant but over here it's a bit more fresher. As they will changed or chilled the food once in a while.

Like the pork balls and also the mixed pork intestine balls. I think I ate more than 15 altogether. Damn full at the end of the meal.

Other then all those meat there are also varieties of fresh vegetables to choose from.

Here is my favorite section which served the fried stuff. Yes, I know it's weird eating this at a steamboat restaurant. But I like it, so what the heck.

They have two fridge full of ice cream of your desire. So no long queues and plenty of ice cream to choose from. But no Hagen or Baskin over here. LOL!

Altogether there are over 100 foods to choose from the two long bar. The food is always replenish by the staffs. I like the service really much.

Food is plenty, fresh and clean. No long queues and service is good. Tables are sufficient and organized. Quite a good place for a gathering or a dinner with friends. The price for the buffet is RM19.80++ per head. Definitely an alternative for me from Yuen Steamboat. But there are a few more buffet steamboat around the area. Will try to test it out in the future.

Weng Hing Pork Noodle @ Imbi

This has got to be one of my favorite pork noodle house. It's located at Jalan Imbi opposite the Honda showroom. Decided to pay the place a visit as I was going to Pavilion for shopping today. The place was packed when I arrived around 11am.

As usual, ordered myself a loh shi fun pork noodle with extra lard. When I say extra they really covered the whole noodle with pork. Believe me, underneath all those lard are some noodles too.

This is the sliced pork (Sum Kang Chong). I am not so fancy on these but nevertheless, I finished it up without any complaint.

Other then the pork noodle stall, other stall worth mentioning is the Char Keoy Teow and Egg Tart in front. At night, there is a Hokkien noodle stall outside which is really famous. So do come over in the morning for their pork noodle or Hokkien noodle at night if you're craving for some nice local food. (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)

Chung Hwa Chicken Ball Rice @ Melaka

Was craving for some Hainan Chicken Ball rice and where is the best place to have it? Melaka of course. So I drove down to have my lunch over at Chung Hwa in Melaka. OK, a bit dramatic. The truth is, I have a meeting down at Melaka and decided to have my lunch over at Chung Hwa. It was not as unhygienic as some of my friends had described to me. The place was organized and clean.

Walk over and told the boss, "Tauke, Pe Qui Phua Chiak, No Ge Lang". OK, for those who doesn't know Hokkien (or don't understand what I translated even if you know Hokkien) it means, Boss, Half Steamed Chicken Rice for two pax. LOL!!

The steamed chicken was really soft and juicy. Just the way it should be.

One plate of rice consists of 5 rice balls. We had ordered a second later on. I am OK with the texture of the rice but my boss like his balls to be harder (no pun intended).

Was looking for some thick soya sauce to go with my ball rice but was told that they don't have it. Gosh~! Wasted~! Can't really enjoy my rice ball or chicken rice without thick soya sauce. Production was good as balls were seen coming out from the kitchen and customers started to poured in during lunch hour.

Overall it's a nice lunch to have and not that expensive too. The whole lunch cost us RM21.60 inclusive of drinks and extra 10 rice balls. Can see a few Japanese girls ordering the dish and taking some shots at it. During holidays or weekends, the place is so packed that we can't even find a place to sit. The place is located at the end of Jonker Street near to the bridge next to the Red Post Office building. (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)

Tenji Japanese Buffet Restaurant @ Solaris Mount Kiara

This is my 4th visit but first dinner over at Tenji. The booking was for 12 pax at 6pm but the guy on the phone had made a mistake and only booked a table for 6 pax for us. So the staff were looking for extra table for us. The final count was 9 at the end and we maanged to get our table at the end of the corridor near to the toilet. We don't mind the distance as we wanted to get a feel of the out door experience and enjoy the scenery while we eat .

Food was not to say that different from the lunch buffet that I had before. Coconut is still the same, where we need to wait for a while for them to replenish the stock, which I had 8 tonight. Was disappointed that we didn't see any soft shell during dinner time. It was available during lunch. Sushi wan't that much of a choice compared to Jogoya but I am not a sushi lover so no complaint over there. The rest should be around the same and there wasn't any special VIP dishes tonight as they are doing some promo of stuff. So even though my friend is a VIP, we didn't get any special dish like Jogoya have.

What I did see was an additonal grilled lamb stall outside. There were a long queue of people waiting for their piece of meat. But nothing special to me as I had tried this during my first visit. The variaty of food wasn't that much and the quality of their food isn't as good as the time I visited the first time. Some of my friend did say that they preferred Jogoya. So it all depends on individual, but for me it's a dinner well paid as we had only paid RM67nett for the whole dinner. This is because the birthday boy is a VIP and he used his cash voucher all together. So just wanna say thanks again to Hor and wishes him a Happy Birthday.

Oriental Craving @ 1Utama

Was walking around 1Utama with my brother's family when we decided to eat at Oriental Craving. This had got to be one of my brother's favourite restaurant in 1U. It's located at the same floor as Lacoste and Ralph Lauren.

There is a lot of old pictures hanged on the wall which gave you a feel of nostalgic. The ambiance is really nice and quiet as it is located at the furthers corner of the building.

Pork Curry with Steamed Rice. It's recommended by my brother and you have to ask if they have it as they don't have it everyday. Basically it's nasi lemak with pork curry. Pork curry was nice and the peanuts and anchovies is still crispy. Other then the curry it's just a normal nasi lemak.

Claypot Loh Shee Fun cooked with minced pork and diced musroom. Sadly to see that the fresh egg was not intact when they brought it over that time. But it's one of the better dish over there. It's not as good as Mama Claypot @ TTDI but still a decent good pot of loh shee fun.

Rice Wine Chicken Mee Sua. The dish availability is based on the availability of the homemade wine. So better ask if you want to order this dish. There is a lot of ingrediets in the soup which consists of chicken, omelette, musroom and vegetables. The amount of chicken was really generous and the scent and taste of the rice wine was really strong. Must try for wine lover.

Claypot Emperor Noodle. It's basically emperor noodle cooked with prawns, squid, pork slices, button mushroom, dried Chinese mushroom, Chinese cabbage and egg. Well to me it's Ying Yong with Emperor Noodle. I am not a Cantonese style lover so not much I couldn't say bout this dish.

Overall our lunch was nice and the service is good too. You should know by now that the place served non-halal food and it's not easy to find a non-halal restaurant inside 1Utama. So if you're looking for lard cook dishes, you can have a try over at Oriental Craving. The whole meal cost us RM60++ inclusive of 3 glasses of Chinese tea. Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0
