Zǎo – Breakfast Anytime at Seksyen 19, Petaling Jaya

Minimalist interior breakfast & brunch restaurant that offers quite a variety of breakfast you could think of. Pretty insta-worthy for those who enjoys taking pictures.

Note: This is a self service restaurant so do remember to collect your orders and clean up your mess after you’ve finished your meal!

Fluffy Kid (RM 17)

Lightly seasoned, not too much wow factors about this but if you don’t feel like having carbs this is a pretty good option to go for.

Scrambled eggs were fluffy as promised however the diced luncheon meat was a little mushy. The side salad was crisp, fresh and delicious!

Like Burger Like Sandwich (RM 20)

One thing I love about this place is that that they don’t use regular white breads in their menu but hearty & healthy ones like this one right here, Purple Chia Seed Toast. The pork loin in the sandwich was pretty juicy.

Multigrain Toast (RM 14)

A simple yet filling choice for vegetarian diners. Generous spread of avocado with a sunny side up.

Didn’t tried any of their drinks because we wanted to go elsewhere for coffee.

Might probably visit this place again but not anytime soon.🤷🏻‍♀️

Restoran Dragon Star has been around for over a decade in this big neighborhood and always been the family restaurant to go for. The restaurant also focuses more on authentic Cantonese cooking. Keepin’ it real!

Here are some of the highlighted dishes on what we had for dinner:

37321576_10215570200303630_2300417219978330112_n
鹽煙沙薑雞 Smoked Kampung Chicken – RM30/half bird , RM60/whole bird

Free-ranged chicken beautifully marinated in Sand Ginger Powder, giving it a better texture to chomp on. Taste wise its almost like having Salt-baked Chicken except you get to enjoy the skin a lot more.😛

清蒸游水順殼魚 Live Steamed Marble Goby in Light Soy Sauce – Seasonal Price

I absolutely love Chinese-style steamed fish (fresh-from-the-tank) with soy sauce as it lends the fish sweet and salty flavors. The chef also taught us how to identify if the fish was frozen or from the tank based on its texture. Frozen fish brought to steamed would still look the same while fresh from the tank would look eh, distorted?🤷

檸香焗明蝦 Stir-fried Prawns in Homemade Lemon Mayo Sauce – Seasonal Price

The prawns were tender and springy in texture and beautifully coated in their finger-licking homemade mayo sauce with a hint of zest making it an absolute refreshing dish.

Highly recommended for prawn lovers!🍤❤

37224597_10215570338227078_964190080296026112_n
燒焗排骨支 Grilled Pork Ribs – RM23/small , RM46/large

Pork ribs were absolutely flavorful & well marinated served with crispy vegetable fritters. Its almost like having char siew except you get to indulge the juicy tender meat and fat so much more.

It was quite a crowd-pleasing dish to go for.

37205638_10215570202623688_6604663646792450048_n
紅燒羊腩煲 Braised Lamb Belly – RM27/small RM54/large

The lamb was deliciously braised till tender and gravy was simply rich and flavorsome plus generously filled with dried bean curd and mixed vegetables making it so much better.

This simple hearty dish will have you feeling delightful and comforting.

37191549_10215570203383707_3692471645949132800_n
蝦子鍋仔豆腐 Braised Homemade Tofu with Shrimps & Seasonal Vegetables -RM18/small , RM27/large

Dishes after dishes of meat, its fair to have some braised tofu and seasonal vegetables to have a little balance in our body.😂 The sauce was really appetizing, it makes you just want to top it on some plain rice. Not to mention the generous amount of fresh vegetables in this pot!

Bring your family & friends over, its definitely worth dining for! My personal favorite dish from this restaurant has to be the fish. What’s yours?

Dian Huo Xin Wo 点火心窝 at The Grand – Kelana Damansara Suite

Having steamboat for Chinese New Year is the easiest and best way to feast when you have a group of family and relatives coming together. The simmering steamboat also represents the tradition to strengthen family bonding and sharing happiness. Who wouldn’t love having steamboat after all?

27066805_1983018245072377_5763208784285069569_n

Dian Huo Xin Wo 点火心窝 is having a spectacular dinner package that your family, relatives and you may love! Their DHXW CNY 2018 Dinner Package price is RM 688 fit for 6-8 pax! Don’t worry about the pax, you could order add-ons.

Here’s what they’ll be serving in this package:

20180201_195332-01

20180201_195756-01
Yee Sang with DHXW Special Ingredients and Sauce

Instead of using regular plum sauce for the ‘yee sang’, they’re using Dragonfruit Juice!
A very delightful and fruity prosperity toss for another fruitful year ahead!

20180201_202045-01
DHXW Fresh Crustaceans Roe Soup

Starts off with a lighter taste but once you get all the seafood in the soup it gets richer and richer you’d probably need to order some Rice Vermicelli ‘mee hoon’ to enjoy more of the soup.

20180201_202016-01
Seafood Platter – 8 Abalones, 8 Half Shelled Fresh Sea Scallops, 8 Large Prawns, 8 Pacific Clams & 2 Crabs
20180201_202028-01
Tiger Prawns / 8 pieces
20180201_201928-01
Fortune Fresh Squid Ball / 8 pieces
20180201_201955-01
DHXW Whole Pomfret Fish / 2 pieces

If you’re dining in as 8 pax, you’d only get to have each of everything on the plate and split the crabs and Promfet unless one of them are willing to spare theirs to you but I’ve got to admit their seafood is ridiculously fresh! My personal favorite has to be the scallops and the tiger prawns.

20180201_201936-01
Vegetables

Every time I go to any steamboat eateries, vegetables is a must! Especially corns.
Plop them into the pot and they’d sweetened the soup!

To wrap it up, this is what they’re serving for their dinner package. If you feel that it isn’t going to fill up your belly or you’ve got family and relatives who aren’t too fond with seafood, order some meat then! Forget about the diet, you’ve got to love festive meals.

20180201_211513-01
Millennium Pork Loin (RM 20.15)
20180201_211525-01
U.S. Wagyu Rib Eye Steak (RM 47.70)
20180201_211544-01
Springy Crystal Fish Ball (RM 9)
20180201_211548-01
DHXW Taro Ball (RM 9)
20180201_211554-01
DHXW Golden Egg Pork Ball (RM 10.10)

These handmade meatballs are seriously one of a kind. You probably won’t be able to get something this premium in other eateries. Highly recommended!

Skyhaus Coffee . Gelato . Bakery at Taman Mayang

The haus for great friendship and good food!

20171018_161644-01

Klang Valley has been blossoming with great vegetarian and vegan dining scenes!

Skyhaus Coffee is a new vegetarian cafe on the block recently opened 3 months ago serving only 100% Arabica premium ground coffee, sugar-free gelatos & sorbets, Nama chocolates and handmade breads!

20171018_161625-01

Just so you know, these aren’t macaroons but sorbets and gelatos!

20171018_161632-01

Nama Chocolate, melt-in-mouth smooth silky texture with lovely hints of nutty flavors and aftertaste that lingers.

20171018_173738-01
Delicious unique handmade breads baked in limited quantities!

20171018_161755-01

 

Service was excellent and staffs were very friendly and knowledgeable with their products.

Food and drinks were served in a timely manner and the right temperature too!

I’ve got to admit everything looks pretty amazing here.

As we were lucky to be there during their Tea Time hours where they’d only be serving (2:30 PM – 5:30 PM) daily, so here’s what we’ve ordered!

20171018_163515-01
Lorraine Village (RM 10.90)

A warming pie with a golden crust and delicious filling served with fries with a really unique sauce. It’s cheesy-licious goodness but fillings are a little too salty. Fries had a nice crisp skin and light, fluffy interior.

20171018_163726-01
Spicy G-ken Burger (RM 10.90)

This burger was fire!🔥🔥🔥 It’s actually pretty delicious! Personally I’m not a huge fan of meat analogue but this one didn’t had that odd artificial flavors which was bearable. Bear in mind this burger is really spicy! I wouldn’t recommend to kids or anyone who can’t tolerate spicy foods.

20171018_163947-01
Egg Salad (RM 10.90)

Simple yet healthy and hearty.🥗 I’m obsessed with their dressing that complements this salad so well! It has that really nice sesame and peanut flavors. Everything in plate was so fresh and crispy it gets really addicting you’d catch yourself forking for more!

20171018_164803-01
Portuguese Fried Rice (RM 9.50)

There’s really strong smoky flavor or wok hei you’d get from this dish. Sadly the rice is portioned into a sad small little cone for something so addicting.
I’d totally recommend this dish though! 

20171018_174933-01
Romeo & Juliet Combo (RM 25)

 

Finally, dessert time! Those gelatos and sorbets on the display looked so tempting I had to give it a try!

We got ourselves Rasp-Mango gelato & Rose Lychee sorbet for the Romeo & Juliet Combo where you could pick any 2 scoops which were then topped with chopped pistachios and waffles then garnished with chocolate.

Both were absolutely refreshing and weren’t too sweet at all. Flavors were really distinctive.

20171018_181804-01
Yuzu Sorbet (RM 12.50)

 

I 💖 anything yuzu!

Very refreshing and delightful yuzu sorbet that immediately refreshes your palate with irresistibly tasty and citrusy-floral flavor of the yuzu fruit.

It was the perfect way to end a healthy meal and absolutely guilt-free!

Overall I really did enjoy my dining experience here. Food was beyond satisfactory, coffee was amazing and ambiance was comfy. Absolutely worth the value.👍

 

However I do wish the cafe makes some changes on their menu as it was rather inconvenient to ask what’s the particular dish about especially when some of their dishes are given unique names and ingredients used were not listed.

Will definitely be back again for more!
