boo_licious writes: just opened but packed with peopleNotice how we seem to follow Singapore in terms of food trends. Not sure why we are always the follower versus the leader. One fine example is the newly opened Pasta de Gohan, a spin off from Pasta de Waraku from Singapore. A well established chain of restaurants in Singapore, this outlet at Sunway Pyramid, just opened their doors on 9 May, 2008.take your pick from the row of plastic plates of pastaFor their opening ceremony, they advertised a special promotion for the 9 May, 2008, which involves a 100% rebate in terms of ... read more


boo_licious writes: Follow the signboard to budget Indian foodI often practise the belief, if you want to get good food, only the locals will know where to find it. It has worked for me with Japanese restaurants, Middle Eastern food and etc. Apply this same principle and you will discover cheap and authentic Indian food. All you need to do is look for the word "mess" around Lebuh Ampang, and you will stumble upon a great secret that has been kept from others.fried fish just like mum makes at homeA mess is usually a no-frills place located on the first floor of a two storey shophouse. Unlike restaurants ... read more


boo_licious writes: hubba bubba - the shrimp has now landed in MalaysiaAlthough this place just opened a few weeks ago, the blogosphere seems flooded with reviews already. I'm kinda not surprised as it was super packed on Saturday, when we dined there. We scored a pretty good seat inside since we were early but I did spy loads of people dining outside on the deck.Gosh...it is huge!Located just above The Gourmet House at the Curve, the restaurant occupies two floors, with a souvenir shop at the side. Loads of Forrest Gump memorabilia is displayed on the walls, tables and everywhere else - we sat just at ... read more


boo_licious writes: The sign which points the way to great steaksSince it was Splashie Boy's birthday on Friday, we did the celebrations during the weekend. I had to work on Friday night - loads of good Chinese food but unfortunately I couldn't bring him along.Starting out with deep fried prawn and codAs Splashie Boy is a huge bovine fan, I knew it had to be Wagyu or Kobe beef for him. Since it was all about steaks, we decided to venture into a steakhouse vs a fine dining restaurant. I had heard good things about Angus Steakhouse at Pavilion and decided we'll just give ... read more

boo_licious writes: tomoe's signboard - check out the wildlife aka the lizard on the sideLast Friday, I was feeling a tad depressed since I was working on Saturday! Feeling like a boost in my system, I suggested we try Japanese in Subang Jaya - an unexplored territory for me. Original intent was Shun, opposite Subang Jaya Medical Centre but there was a function at the nearby Sheraton Subang ballroom, which caused a mini traffic jam plus a shortage of carparks around the area.pretty condiments set on the tableChanging tactics, we decided ... read more


Yakitate!! Japan

Malaysia

rokh writes: I confess; the real reason I had been missing in action since my sister’s wedding is watching an anime on baking bread, Yakitate!! Japan (Freshly Baked, Japanese Bread): - picture source from WikipediaI know I would be considered a tad too late in the anime world to be raving about this series now, where in fact it had been a wave two years ago! There are even bloggers who already made the only read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: 1. It was the world’s cheapest sang har meen.  Or at least, that’s what it appeared to me in my well-protected cocoon. At only RM8.50 a plate with some fresh juicy prawns thrown into a lovely eggy sauce, I certainly had no complaints. I am not sure if I shall be able to find this coffee shop again on my own though. Ecstatic Eeyore had led me through a maze of shops quite like the catacombs of Rome, where amidst some beauty salons and shops selling cheap nail polish and hair products, there stood a coffee shop, rather displaced in the surroundings. It was a real coffee shop, not one of ... read more


Tummythoz writes: Hmm noticed quite a few of my favourite floggers have simultaneously posted Japanese food. I’ll follow suit but will still be far cry from qualifying to apply for even a puny spot in the JFKA (what's exclusive society is that, you ask? Start dropping by my favourite Tummy Yummies at the sidebar, okay). I dislike salmon and wasabe. Tsk tsk tsk pathetic, I know. Did this many moons back when the read more

Lyrical Lemongrass writes: 1. Turning on my computer at home is like being in a new relationship.  “Will I get lucky tonight?” sums it all up.  And right now, it looks like my hymen is going to stay intact for a while longer. The recent elections has taught us one thing - more power to the people.   With flexed muscles, bulging biceps and a boost of foolhardy egocentric power, I now propose a vote against my broadband service provider.  I apologize for the lack of updates.  Blame it on them.  I’ll be glad to give you their number.  I hope you like elevator music. 2.  When I travel, I rarely buy souvenirs for myself.  ... read more


boo_licious writes: Uhu hu cheesecake boxNo pies for the momentous occasion of the new Cabinet line up, but I thought these fluffy cheesecakes will be a great substitute. Talking about the new Cabinet ministers, I had a shock just now, when I returned home. There were 4 police outriders, hanging around the apartment lobby. Later, when I saw the announcement on the Cabinet, I realised why, as one of the residents, got appointed as a minister. I guess one must get used to the prescence of outriders soon around this area.Promoter in sakura pink kimonoBack to food - discovered these Uhu! Hu! Cheesecakes yesterday at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur (yes, ... read more
