Revisiting Kampachi @ Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia

boo_licious writes: Soft KaniMaki (RM36++)We had lots of fun last Friday - another Floggers get-together. This time, it was a big big party for Christmas at My Elephant by Doodee at Section 17, Petaling Jaya. I was late hence by the time I got there, all I had was bits and pieces of food served. I didn't get to mingle much too (very sorry people!) as I was sitting at the non food blogger's table plus when I started mingling, I realised I kinda lost my voice with all the shouting I had to do to be heard. Sigh! Apologies to those who were there, whom I didn't meet. Special thanks to Lyrical Lemongrass, Precious Pea and ... read more

El Cerdo

Malaysia

teckiee writes: Finally! The el cerdo have gone to El Cerdo KL in Changkat Bukit Bintang. LOL! El cerdo means 'The Pig' la ;p After hearing a lot of good stuff about the place from my colleague, reading Babe_KL's older post, and especially after seeing that pork knuckle at Lots of Cravings, I decided that is something I just have to try.There was only three of us at dinner, so when we ordered the Spanish ham platter, the paella, the German crispy ... read more


Yo! Sushi @ Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia

boo_licious writes: Yo! Sushi Signboard This weekend we decided to step into Yo! Sushi, the latest import from the British shores to our country. Serving kaiten sushi or sushi on a conveyor belt, I had read not "too hot" reviews from several blogs about this place. General consensus seems to be - "too pricey" especially when compared to local established kaiten sushi places such as Sushi King, Sakae Sushi and Sushi Zanmai. Yo! Sushi Interior Yo! Sushi's concept kinda reminds me of Wagamama which never did make it to our shores but was instead copied all over town in several noodle spin offs. In the UK, it has built a brand for themselves with outlets everywhere and even a ... read more


Food Republic @ The Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia

boo_licious writes: Before I continue today's post, do vote for the Floggers videos on this LINK - Apple Crumble Team and Fantastic Four. More details are in the previous blog entry. Thanks to those who have voted. The videos should be up for a week so get going with your votes and watching the videos. With the long break, we did some exploring at Pavilion last week. Just opened last Wednesday, Food Republic is a food court which hails from Singapore. On the day it opened, there was quite a commotion at one of the stalls which saw a three foot snake drop by. Not sure how the snake ended up there (it seems it dropped from the signages ... read more


boo_licious writes: Let's have a sweet start to the week with some doughnuts. I was hanging out at the Pavilion while Splashie Boy was at Low Yat Plaza for work. My intentions was just to browse through the books in Times. Spied the Nigella Express and Martha Stewart's new cookbook, both looked interesting and very tempting. Managed to resist them which I was immensely proud of considering I have a certain weakness for cookbooks. While I was browsing through the books, I sniffed the unmistakable aroma of doughnuts. At first I thought Times had started their cafe hence I went to investigate. Following the scent, I found out Big Apple Donuts had opened their new outlet on the sixth ... read more


Nasi Lemak Jalan Alor-Changkat Bukit Bintang Junction
babe_kl writes: I'm pretty sure many of the KLites working around Kuala Lumpur most popular hawker haven, Jalan Alor, would know or have tasted this nasi lemak located at the junction of Jalan Alor and Changkat Bukit Bintang (opposite KL Baptist Church). I know of a fan, Yozora Nite Sky, who must have her fix at least once a week! Haha... Opens in the morning and it's a norm to see long queue like this... Going up close, you'll be amazed with the array of lauk (dishes) to go with your nasi lemak. Ranging sotong, fried chicken, curry chicken, chicken/beef rendang, kerang (cockles), bergedil, terung (eggplant), paru ... read more


boo_licious writes: Technically this ain't a food review since I didn't try the food. However, I thought I'll share the pictures I took of this place. We inadvertently ended up here after our lunch at Kampachi on Saturday. My main aim of walking over to Starhill Gallery was to check out Gwen Lim's artwork on adorable kitties. Instead we walked in on a media circus tailing Jackie Chan who was opening his new cafe. It was virtually impossible to fight through the throng of photographers to get a picture of the famous kungfu star. I gave up since I hate crowds. Instead I settled for the pictures hung near the lift. Previously the whole ... read more


boo_licious writes: Chirashi Don (RM45++) Kampachi located at Equatorial Hotel has made a name for itself with it's consistently good quality and fresh seafood. Also popular is their infamous Sunday buffets which see people booking in advance and piling themselves with food. Last Saturday, we happened to be at Pavilion at just the right time i.e. minutes before 1pm. When we walked around the sixth floor to see what had opened, we stumbled upon Kampachi. Moments before the witching hour of 1pm, the staff were all in front of the restaurant taking a picture. Once they dispersed, we approached them and was told the restaurant would only be opened at 1pm per management's instructions as that was the "feng ... read more


Pastries @ The Loaf, Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia

boo_licious writes: Back to the grindstone again after the long holidays. Unfortunately the city was not as quiet with throngs of tourists from other states. The malls were super packed with people who were there to sight see since you didn't see many touting shopping bags. We joined the sea of people at Pavilion and walked around the six floors to build up an appetite. I've heard good things about The Loaf hence we bought a selection of pastries to try. Who could resist their Cream Chocolate (RM6.80) - puff pastry case filled with melted chocolate. Thumbs up to this as you could taste the rich dark chocolate. A bit messy to eat though but don't ... read more
