Hits & Misses at Malaysia Boleh! @ Four Seasons Place KL

-
  I've been to the Malaysia Boleh! food court in Singapore years ago but all that I can remember is that it was quite a hectic dinner, as you would expect from a food court. The rest of the memories are now hazy in the mind.
  If you have not heard of or been to Malaysia Boleh!, it is a food court that houses more than 14 stalls of popular local delicacies from different states. There's Penang Laksa, Pudu Fried Chicken, Klang Bak Kut Teh and the list goes on. This is definitely the perfect food spot for both local and tourists as you can try some of Malaysia's famous delicacies all in one space!                                       
  The Penang Laksa (RM10) was one of the better ones that I've had. The sourness and thickness of the broth was just how I like my laksa to be. This dish just hits all the right spots.
  I'm not a fan of Hokkien mee but the KL Hokkien Mee (RM12) was good. It really was full with "wok hei" which I think is the most important key of a good hokkien mee. The gravy is thick enough, noodles are silky smooth and there are also a good amount of fried pork lard. 
 The Fried Radish Cake (RM8) was just alright. It was mediocre and didn't really stood out to me.
  The Oyster Omelette/ "Oh Chien" (RM12) was another favourite of mine though I only had the eggs. There weren't any pungent taste from the oyster, so you'll still enjoy this even if you don't eat oyster. This gooey omelette tasted even better when paired with the chilli sauce.
  Apparently, this Curry Chicken Noodle (RM9) from Jalan Imbi Ah Yen's stall was many local's favourite spot for curry. I also got to know that they used to serve curry noodles with "liew" (yong tao foo style- fu chock, cockles, stuffed eggplants etc.) and not curry chicken. Anyway, this is a good bowl of curry noodle, however I personally like curries to be thicker. This version may be thick for some, but I would like it to be thicker. Still, it was packed with flavour and paired well with the chilli that came with it.
I don't remember when was the last time I had claypot chicken rice. Back then, my dad always buy back the one in Pudu. When I saw that they have Claypot Chicken Rice (RM10), I knew I have to order it. Sadly, it was quite a let down. The rice didn't really absorb the flavours, hence making this whole dish rather bland. I don't remember tasting any salted fish too which I think is an important topping for CCR.
Their Signature Golden Sand Pau (RM3) sounded really interesting and we all thought that it was "Lao Sha Bao". Turns out, it's just a normal pau with some fillings. You can skip this one.
  Frankly speaking, I was quite sceptical about the Penang Cendol (RM3), but it did not disappoint! It tastes as good as the one I had in Penang.

OVERALL VERDICT

Food: 7/10 (Must try the asam laksa, oh chien,and cendol)

Price: 7/10 (Not bad seeing that it is located right in the city, where mostly everything is expensive)

Would I Return?: Yes, for the cendol and the asam laksa!

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

BEYOND VEGGIE by SECRET RECIPE @ BANGSAR SOUTH l VEGETARIAN

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
