Mak's Chee Authentic Wonton Noodle @ Midvalley

-
 Wonton Mee is always my go-to choice whenever I eat at kopitiams. It's quick, simple and nice. Mak's Chee is one of Hong Kong's famous eateries so when I heard that they had recently opened an outlet in Midvalley, I was beyond excited. My expectations were really high as I've read good reviews about it. My friend and I went there around 6:30pm and to be honest, I wasn't expecting to wait in a queue so when I did, my expectations got even higher. We waited around 10 minutes before being seated. 

 All the noodles here comes in either small or large. We didn't know how big is the portion for large so we went for the small. When it comes to wonton mee, I prefer eating the dry version as I love the sweetness from the oyster sauce.
 I had the Wonton Dry Noodle with Prawn Roe [S:RM14.90] that comes with wonton hidden at the bottom. I've not tasted prawn roe before so I didn't know what to expect. I find the noodles really dry that they are all clumped up together. I can literally lift the whole pile of noodles just in one chopstick lift. 

 Noodles were thin and chewy. I prefer my wonton noodles to be slightly thicker and smoother aka the Malaysian way. However, the wonton deserves an applause. Juicy and sweet prawn wrapped in silky smooth wonton wrapper. 
 My friend went for the Wonton and Beef Tendon Soup Noodle [S:RM14.90]. The soup was very flavourful. I'm sure that I would've enjoyed the soup version more even though I only had a sip.
My friend also prefers the soup version over the dry one.
 Their Deep Fried Wonton and Dumpling [4+2:RM16.90] which I think it's overpriced was just alright. I only had one of the dumpling as I'm not a fan of deep fried stuffs. 
 Although I've not tried the milk teas in Hong Kong which I regretted for not doing so when we were there earlier this year, I find their Champion Milk Tea [RM5.90] just passable. It's almost tasteless and it's not too sweet, which I was really glad about but there really isn't anything to shout about.

 To summarise, I wasn't satisfied with the portion of my noodles with the given price. Our bill came around RM60 which is quite expensive for some street food dishes. But the fact that it's in a mall and you have air-conditioners and comfortable seats, it does make up to it. Still, I think I'll still stick to my usual wonton mee at my regular kopitiam that costs half the price and suits my tastebuds more.

OVERALL VERDICT:

FOOD: 5/10

PRICE: 6/10

AMBIENCE: 7/10

WOULD I RETURN?: Hmm... maybe just once more, to try the wonton noodle soup and that'll be it.

Is Eating Suki-Ya As A Vegetarian Worth It?

-

EAT WHAT LEH?  Last month, my friend and I went to Suki-ya for lunch. As you know, the best part about Shabu-Shabu is the free flow of meats. We planned this in January, before I went on my meat-less diet. I didn't want to cancel the lunch as it was my treat for my friend's birthday and we had been waiting for it for months. As the days got nearer to our lunch date, I thought to myself "What exactly am I going to eat? Will it still be worth the money if I don't eat the meats?". We went there on a Friday afternoon and it was really crowded and if not mistaken, there weren't any empty tables. I did called a week before to make reservations but they said that they only allow walk-ins now.      If you're unfamiliar with Suki-Ya, it is a Japanese restaurant. They have ala carte dishes but people mainly go for their all you can eat buffet. There's the buffet bar that has a good selection of items for your hot pots, a variety of sushi, dippin

Newly Opened Starbucks Reserve @ Four Seasons Place, KLCC!

Another Starbucks Reserve has recently opened in Kuala Lumpur and this time it is at Four Seasons Place. I'm not a regular at Starbucks so I didn't know that Starbucks Reserve was already around. Seeing that I was just nearby, I thought I would drop by to take a look and see how it differs from the ordinary Starbucks outlets. They kept the interior minimal and only has a statement decoration which is the lighting fixtures, that gives the whole space a modern yet sophisticated look. Below, is the coffee making space for the reserved bean's drinks. Right across is the normal ordering counter, cake displays, merchandise etc. I love this part of the cafe the most. Really love the dark grey walls that is decorated with copper decorations. I talked to one of the barista there and she told me that the ones that will be brewing the "Reserve" drinks are actual coffee masters. Pick the type of beans you want and the brewing method! They also hav

EAT WHAT LEH?   I've recently started becoming a vegetarian (literally 6 days ago) and no, it's not because of religious reasons. I'm not sure how long will I be vegetarian for but I would definitely try to stick to it as long as I can. Becoming a vegetarian is not a problem for me because I personally don't really fancy meats. The only problem is when it comes to eating outside. I had been on the internet so much recently, searching for vegetarian restaurants near me and I managed to come across few blogposts that really did helped a lot! This is also one of the reason why I am starting a blog. To help people to search for places to eat! So if you found this post, Ola! Allyna to the rescue! smirks    I went for a casting at The Vertical (opposite Bangsar South) and decided to go for a quick lunch as there were around 10 people before me. There were many restaurants at Bangsar South but now that I'm a vegetarian, I thought why not give Beyond Veggie a try
