Pizza Plus at Dataran Dwitasik, Cheras

“Pizza & Pasta for Everyone!”

46712846_10216504732826359_2681103939771826176_n

The cravings for pizza and pasta one fine weekend hit me hard when I happened to stumble across Pizza Plus in this neighborhood. Can’t say no to pizzas and pastas!

Located in Bandar Sri Permaisuri, this little Italian pizza & pasta restaurant dedicated to serving good food at a reasonable price where they also strongly take pride in their handmade pastas and pizzas by using fresh ingredients and to ensure its always full of flavours. It sounds rather promising which leaves no room for doubts so I decided to give it a try!

46743280_10216504733066365_852814195261964288_n

Loving the open kitchen; being able to see the chef making the pizza dough from scratch was simply fascinating.

46495798_10216504733306371_7799733585325326336_n
Cream of Mushroom Soup – RM 8.50

It was blended finely till grainy and slightly too watery with barely chunks of mushrooms in it. As for flavors wise, it was up to scratch. Personally I’d prefer the soup to be thicker and have some chunks in it to make it a lot more palatable which also gives texture to it.

46521555_10216504734026389_6443308331141431296_n
Aloha Pizza – (RM 14.90 Regular / RM 17.90 Large)

Tomato based with decent amount of turkey ham & pineapples. The down side were the toppings as the quality was honestly a little disappointing but for its reasonable price, it is what it is. I’ve got to admit their pizza dough was really good though; crispy and thin.

46516857_10216504733666380_381492008981626880_n
Pesto Pizza – (RM 16.90 Regular / RM 19.90 Large)

Pesto based generously topped with mushrooms & feta cheese. I do wish they put a little more onions on it to give some nice crunch to it. I’d strongly recommend this over the Aloha Pizza, its worth the value and quite delightful. Vegetarians would love this!

46646587_10216504734266395_8244345438711316480_n
Chicken Ravioli in Creamy Tomato Sauce – (RM 16.50)

I was so thrilled when I saw there’s ravioli on their menu instead of having the usual spaghetti but I was disappointed again. Ravioli dough was a little too thick causing it to turn out a little dry and there was only half teaspoon of chicken fillings in it while the sauce didn’t seems like … it was homemade. Canned tomato paste has this really distinctive flavors where you can instantly tell it isn’t homemade.

Overall experience was alright, might come back again for the Pesto Pizza but not anytime soon. Service was okay and food didn’t take too long to arrive. Then again you get what you pay for.

Not to mention they do delivery as well but within the radius of 1km only from the restaurant. Minimum order will have to be RM 30 above with a small delivery fee of RM 3. Check out their menu by clicking here!

44421682_10216277305780825_4898916517602656256_n
Whole Baked Salmon

If you’re looking for something lighter, the salmon was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the salads. It was simply inviting just looking at it, you’d catch yourself going for two or three rounds.

44416400_10216277305220811_2306113025217658880_n
Chicken Galantine

Another classic holiday dish! The stuffing was quite tasteful and plated invitingly. Its a definite must have on your Christmas feast.

44404754_10216277306420841_5929853086917984256_n
Honey Glazed Spiced Brine Roast Turkey stuffed with Granny Smith Apple & Chestnut

Turkey was beautifully brine to assures the moisture was there and pretty flavorful with a dash of turkey gravy. I’ve got the admit stuffing was quite moist it almost feels like it came from inside of the turkey.

44558233_10216277306100833_6021930764768116736_n
Prime Rib served with Brussels Sprouts & Roast Tomatoes

It was spectacular! I was actually surprised how unbelievably juicy, tender and full of flavors with a kick of garlic and herbs to it with some Brussels sprouts and roasted tomatoes to complement the dish. I’d highly recommend this!

44579032_10216277306700848_3019649286565527552_n
Rustic Baked Whole Sea Bass with Lemon

Pleasingly baked, with a hint of zesty flavors from the lemon. I love how the fish was lightly salted which you can get a better taste of the bold fresh flavors in the sea bass. Another dish I’d recommend!

The Berry Tale at The Link 2, Bukit Jalil

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The Berry Tale just had their Grand Opening a couple of days ago as another community cafe that offers variety of nourishing options perfect for anyone who’s into healthy lifestyle.

Here are some of the dishes we’ve tried:

45102737_10216346852519450_6261478597152735232_n
Grilled Chicken Chop with Homemade Mango Chutney, Fries & Green Salad – (RM 19)

The chicken was really juicy and packed with flavors, I’d say its paired pretty well with the mango chutney. Fries could be a little more crispier and deep fried till golden perfection.

Note: This is only available from 12 noon onwards!

45158415_10216346852039438_483885352168194048_n
Miso Grilled Salmon with Cauliflower Rice – (RM 20)

I was in joy the moment I saw there’s cauliflower rice! Bare in mind that it isn’t bland nor under-seasoned, but also don’t be shy to request for salt and pepper if you’d like it more palatable. Hey, it’s a tastier way to stuff yourself with some veges! The grilled salmon chunks were delicious and went really well with the rice however it was a missed that the edamame, almond slices and walnut toppings were missing on the plate.

Overall if you’re looking for a light meal, I’d still highly recommend this though!

45116605_10216346851759431_2559675627946901504_n
Zucchini Pasta with Thai Peanut Crispy Tofu – (RM 18)

Once again I’m so happy they’ve got this on the menu as well! Its almost like having a Thai salad because of the peanut sauce and also has a nice heat to it. Definitely makes a perfect light and tasty meal for anyone who’s trying to cut carbs.

45159254_10216346852879459_4706171815720910848_n
Coconut Oil Nasi Lemak – (RM 16)

I love that they’ve replace coconut milk or ‘santan’ with coconut oil and ‘ikan bilis’ with silver fish instead as you barely feel the guilt of eating our local comfort food. Everything about this dish was so good! Chicken was fried to perfection, sambal was brilliant and ‘acar’ was simply refreshing and the silver fish were so crispy. Would definitely recommend this dish as well!

45198404_10216346854159491_4322869555333431296_n

There is no diet that will do what eating healthy does. Skip the diet and just eat healthy! I’d definitely be back for more.

44398058_10216276274475043_782294710617112576_n

Hailing from the 1-Michelin Star restaurant; Yee Tung Heen at The Excelsior Hong Kong, Chef Tam To Ming is known for his array of dainty dim sum creations that delights even the most discerning palate.

I was truly lucky to be able to sample some of his work of art this weekend as it was available for a limited time only!

44429082_10216276275395066_7340649551872655360_n
Twin Gold Fish Dumplings with Chicken & Abalone Dumpling RM 48 per person

We were filled with awe when this was served. The Twin Gold Fish Dumplings were absolutely adorable! Though there weren’t much fillings in it, you can taste how fresh the ingredients were.

Other than that, the Chicken & Abalone Dumpling tasted really inviting! We had to order a few more baskets as it was based on per person basis. Highly recommended!

44395330_10216276275875078_2205745261622329344_n
Kale Dumplings with Beetroot RM 28 / three pieces

One bite and the fillings crumbles into your mouth. I really enjoy the water chestnut chunks in it as it gives a little more texture not just mushy vegetables. The natural coloring from the beetroot makes it looks simply fetching.

44615208_10216276276915104_5320818890324836352_n
Chicken Dumplings with Emperor Vegetables in Szechuan StyleRM 38 5 pieces

Delicate dainty dumplings bursting with flavors complemented the Szechuan sauce sublimely as it wasn’t too spicy but bearable with just the right heat.

Don’t worry, this dish does not give any numbing effect.😂

44460857_10216276276435092_3809036439887282176_n
Dumplings with Diced Chicken & Dried Shrimps – RM 38 / 3 pieces

Super cute presentation making it looked like carrots growing out from a little pot. Crisp to perfection sweet glutinous rice shell stuffed with savory pork and shrimp fillings was quite delectable.

44519359_10216276275115059_1042435863214030848_n
Green Tea Pancakes with Peanuts, Sesame & Coconut FlakesRM 28

This has to be my favorite dish in Chef Tam’s menu! The exterior was so crispy with rich green tea flavor along with the peanut and sesame fillings making it so much more toothsome. Highly recommended!😋

44406466_10216276277155110_1669007291745042432_n
Coconut & Osmanthus JellyRM 28 / 3 pieces

For a more refreshing ending, this would be a nice cooling and healthy dessert to go for suitable for all ages. It wasn’t too sweet, the coconut milk makes it a lot more creamy and soothing.

Here’s the complete menu for Chef Tam’s ala carte dim sum menu:

Chen Chen BBQ Goose & Duck at Pudu

43745315_10216215699800714_7143065744698245120_n

During lunch hours, Chen Chen BBQ Goose & Duck is one of the few popular lunch spots and gets really packed so you may need to wait for a while to get a table. Unless you don’t mind sharing!

43951924_10216215700640735_6841282685143351296_n

The price here still remains reasonable for all and had always tasted the same since the first generation when the owner’s father started this business.

43851640_10216215701360753_3189506601648128000_n
Duck & Salted Vegetables Soup

Soup of the day was delicious and simply whets one’s appetite before devouring into the star dishes! Its both salty and spicy yet flavorful from the salted vegetables and the ginger that is added.

43748249_10216215703240800_3930012590440185856_n
Pork Meatballs Soup

I couldn’t help but to order some of these springy chewy meatballs as it makes a simple hearty soup extra comforting. I’m a sucker for meatballs.

43701994_10216215702120772_8951240014172258304_n
Bean Sprouts topped with Fried Garlic

Some fat crunchy stubby sprouts with a dash of soy sauce and sesame oil is always the best companion for any roast meat regardless chicken or goose.

43687257_10216215702960793_3847712860905930752_n
Roast Goose Leg

Here’s the greasy goodness of their mouth-watering roast goose most of the diners are here for. It was beautifully roasted with a slight gamey taste to it and still juicy on the inside.

Note: Dip them in their homemade plum sauce to make it a lot more palatable.

43951888_10216215702520782_2992041795132588032_n
Roast Duck Breast

Other than their roast goose, the roast duck was definitely finger-licking as well. I really love how the skin does not have a thick layer of chewy fat making it so much more palatable.

43762989_10216215701800764_5055341678949302272_n

Not to mention Chen Chen’s  crisp crackling roasted pork belly. Although it isn’t one of the few ‘starred dish’ to have here, its definitely still worth a try. If you didn’t noticed, there’s just a thin layer of fat on it as well.

43709510_10216215700320727_1417439581065707520_n

Chen Chen BBQ Goose & Duck may just be just a hawker stall but the owner never fails to put on his chef jacket and keeps a bright smile to his regulars and new customers.

PNP Restaurant – Japanese Cuisine Artistry at Faber Imperial Court

A symphony of art, culture & epicurean delights.

43286823_10216184263654830_5769726892122832896_n
Jyo Nigiri-zushi 7 Shu – 7 Types of Special Hand-made Sushi (RM 110)

People and People (PNP) offers traditional Japanese carefully prepared by a renowned chef to transform each dish with creative flair in his choice of ingredients and selective cuts of the finest produce. The spiritual essence of traditional Japanese cuisine is fully preserved yet enhanced with his maestro touch.

Personally I’m never a huge fan of eating raw fish and seafood but I was convinced by the chef’s professionalism and food quality to give a try. Needless to say I helped myself with a few pieces and indulged it. One of the nigiri sushi I’ve got to highlight is the soyu maguro, tuna marinated overnight in soy sauce giving it a whole different level.

43342646_10216184260774758_64534430538006528_n
Take Sashimi 5 Shu – 5 Types of Fresh Raw Fish (RM 110)

The chef also incorporate aesthetic elements of arrangement and presentation as practiced in Ikebana (Art of flower arrangement) to produce a 5-Star presentation.

Ultimately, guests will revel in a dining experience that is a feast fit for a king. I mean, how often do you see sushi beautifully plated like that?😍😍

43360924_10216184263174818_7564648099407200256_n
Salmon Aburi Maki – Torched Salmon Roll (RM 38)

This was one of the few memorable dishes I had throughout dining here, I really enjoyed the lightly charred flavors on the salmon. Highly recommended!💖

43378488_10216184258854710_6322345499282112512_n
Kani Chawan Mushi – Crab Steamed Egg Custard (RM 18)

Generous amount of crab meat topped on the creamy egg custard. The crab meat was simply sensational and barely rubbery. I could help myself with another one or two!

43415480_10216184265494876_2463300264086470656_n

43245675_10216184264894861_962915359772377088_n
Karai Kasen Udon – Spicy Seafood Udon Thick Wheat Noodles (RM 35)

Perfect dish to warm your insides! Obsess with the chewy udon noodles soaked in the rich flavorful spicy broth. It wasn’t too spicy for me, so I had it all bottoms up.😋 Everything about this dish was so spectacular, another highly recommended dish.🍜

43485825_10216184267174918_4716750165552136192_n
Kurogama Ice – Black Sesame Ice Cream (RM 12)

Green tea ice cream is overrated and almost everywhere but finding REALLY GOOD black sesame ice cream is tougher. Nutty richness of the black sesame was intensely decadent. It wasn’t too sweet and the red bean paste complemented the ice cream admirably.

43510926_10216184266134892_2507519336105639936_n
Yuzu Sorbet – Citrus Fruit Sorbet (RM 12)

Simply refreshing and delightful yuzu sorbet that refreshes the palate after a heavy meal. It was so irresistibly tasty to have with citrusy-floral essence of the fruit.

Mochi Ice – Japanese Mochi Ice Cream (RM 15)

Soft chewy mochi bursting with black sesame ice cream inside! If you’d like to have black sesame with some texture then you should totally give this a try.

Chi-zu Stikku Ice – Cheese Stick Ice Cream (RM 18)

By far my favorite dessert here! Thinly shelled cheesy-licious ice cream. It was like having cheesecake in one bite: creamy, rich and savory.❤

Rojak & Cendol Ali at Taman Yarl

40524721_10215912202933482_5808146748975087616_n

Anyone who lives at or within OUG will know where to get the best rojak mamak in town. It isn’t too hard to locate the stall as you wouldn’t overlooked the crowds and queue especially during lunch hours.

40509175_10215912202133462_7967587585927151616_n
Rojak Sotong | RM6.50

The ‘rojak mamak’ or Malaysian-Indian Salad consists of a base of crunchy washed and julienne vegetables, tofu, crispy fritters and hard boiled eggs topped with mouth-watering peanut sauce.

There’s just this really comforting feeling from the chunky peanut sauce that was served with piping hot complementing the rest of the condiments perfectly.

40402758_10215912201373443_6429694259770687488_n
Cendol Biasa | RM2

To make this meal a little more overwhelming, ordering a bowl of cendol would cool off some of the heat. The finely shaved ice with almost melt-in-mouth texture with just the right amount ‘gula melaka’ along with the generous amount of kidney beans, cincau & cendol was simply irresistible.

40475582_10215912202693476_9176610120858075136_n

I’d strongly advise to order them as takeaways to enjoy at the comfort of your own home as there aren’t much tables there. Bare in mind during lunch hours it could take awhile to get to your orders. Patience lah deyh!

Dim Sum at Celestial Court, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel

We recently visited the newly revamped Celestial Court at Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur for some delectable brunch we’ve been craving for awhile.

Dim Sum Chef Ken, never fails to tantalize the taste buds. Whether it is the simplest of Cantonese cuisine, using a harmony of ingredients and the freshest product, or a gourmet of Cantonese delights with seasonal delicacies where one can look forward to a completely divine meal.

明炉烤特色酿鸡肉干 Grilled Stuffed Honey Glazed Dried Chicken Meat with Seafood Mousse served with “Man Tou” | RM10/piece

This was one of the few most notable dish we’ve had in the restaurant. The bakkwa was definitely worth the devotion from its appearance to taste and paired beautifully with the subtle Seafood Mousse along with the ‘Man Tou’ to balance the umami.

Note: Minimum order of 2 pieces!

咸水角 “Ham Sui Kok “Glutinous Rice Dumplings with Minced Chicken | RM18

黄金咸蛋虾球 Prawn Paste Ball with Bitter Gourd in Salted Egg Yolk and Pumpkin Sauce | RM22

I was truly obsessed with the instant oomph of salted egg yolk and pumpkin sauce along with the fresh crunchy prawn in my mouth. It was just so addictive! Definitely worth the hype.

天宝阁烧卖 Signature Prawn and Chicken Siew Mai | RM22

黑蒜鳗鱼饺 Seafood and Black Garlic Dumpling Topped with Savory Unagi | RM28

As for the unagi lovers out there, you’ll be awed by this! I love how the black garlic wasn’t too pungent. Usually I’m not much of a fan for eel dishes but this was exceptional.

Satisfying crunch from the golden kataifi rolls locking the salmon’s moisture and barely overcooked. Its refreshing how its served with some fruit salad resting at the bottom of the salmon kataifi roll, Look at the amount of roes topped on it tho!😍

It was nice catching up with the two chefs behind the wonderful Celestial Court’s kitchen. I totally understand why the restaurant gets really packed on weekends because everyone is obsess with their Imperial Dim Sum Brunch for RM138 nett only! You guys should check out their ala carte menu as well! I’ll publish it real soon.
