Snowflake Taiwanese desserts, Pavilion KL

Aside from Starbucks beverages and those yummy pearl bubble teas, I have recently developed another craving. And for that, I blamed SNOWFLAKE, the Taiwanese dessert chain that one can find in Pavilion KL, as well as my friend, Seth, who introduced me to their tasty offerings. The chain serves both hot and cold desserts, and you can even set your own level of sweetness. Which is good news for diabetics. For the rest of us, it's one buzzing trip to sugar-land that you won't forget.

This is the bestselling signature dessert, priced at RM 6.50, a heavenly concoction of taro balls, creamer and grass jelly..

Trust me, this is one dessert you don't want to miss out. The next time you're in the mall, seek their stall out and get yourself some sweet treats!!

Satay Kajang at HUTONG food court, Lot 10

If you are a Malaysian, you must have come across such 'three-for-ten' deals at least one to two times when buying stuff at pasar pagi or shopping in malls. Where you can find three socks for ten ringgit, three shirts for ten, three cans of mushroom for ten...and the list goes on. In short, very few can resist such three-for-ten  bargain deals. I know I couldn't.
BUT, not all three-for-ten deals are that desirable..as I've learnt during a recent trip to the Hutong Lot 10, the so-called street food haven for KL folks.  Heck, they even created a Facebook page for HUTONGLOT10, if you're interested.
I noticed several new food stalls have opened (a few are under renovation), including one that claimed to serve Satay Kajang and Penang Rojak. And that's literally what the sign board says too - "SATAY KAJANG & PENANG ROJAK".

So, I guess the stall only serves two dishes. Being a great fan of Satay Kajang, I decided to satisfy my craving and curiosity by ordering the....what else...Satay Kajang set. Now mind you,  it will set you back for RM 10.40, after adding the government tax.

And for that price, this is what you get....

Three, count them, T-H-R-E-E satay sticks, along with the usual array of peanut sauce, onion, cucumber and rice cake. Granted, the satay meat is larger than what you would normally find at other places, but I'm just not sure if three sticks of these are worth the price I paid. 

They taste just OK, by the way. Nothing to shout about. Although, I did find them to be too oily for my liking..When I look at the menu, i saw that if you want to add more rice cake, cucumber or onion, you'll have to pay additional RM 1 for each. Well, the good news is..the sauce is free to add. And the onion is really fresh. So fresh indeed, that the aftertaste stayed with me for two days afterward.

So, there you have it. Three-for-ten satay set. Whether you think its worth the price or not, really depends on how much you like satay as well as personal preference. Give it a try if you just.

P/S: the Penang Rojak, which i didn't try, is priced at RM 5.90, in case you're wondering.

PapaRich Fahrenheit KL

PapaRich has opened a new outlet recently in the Fahrenheit Mall KL, and i find it to be a very relaxing place to hang out for light meals and dinners. Like its other outlets, the outlet serves a wide range of popular local foods like Nasi Lemak, Noodles and Char Kuey Tiaw.

The ambience is great. Comfortable and easy on the eye, with the whole place awashed in soft lighting..

I just love the foods here...And also, there are many types of beverages you can find..including my favourite red bean cendol (RM 7.90)..mmmm..

And then there's the soya cendol (RM 6.50), which is also a mouth-watering beverage..

The delicious Char Koey Tiao, priced at RM 9.90

The Naan with curry chicken (RM 6.50) is also a pure delight...

Another of my fave meals, the dry noodle with chicken rendang...slurrp..

For side attraction, PapaRich also serves Chinese flavoured snacks like siew mais and baos...The prices range from RM 3.50 to RM 5.30 per set of threes..

Here's two other variations of their signature dry noodle..

And their 'boey-tahan' Penang char koey tiow...

Some of other drinks that they serve..

which go very well with their peanut delightful butter toasts, perfect to satisfy those tea-time cravings..

Return to the Pancake House

Ash and I dropped by the Pancake House restaurant in Pavilion KL recently to check out their newly-revamped menu. And we have to say we're not disappointed at what they are offering right now. I have never been a great fan of pancakes, but I gotta say that I enjoyed every mouthful of it here.

What's wonderful is how they mix and match the pancakes with other dishes to create mouth-watering set meals, just like this one that I ordered, the Pancake Chicken Splatter that is priced at RM 14.50.

For Ash, she ordered the Pancake Sandwich, which costs RM 8.80, and Iced Tea for RM 3.80.

We were in a bit of a rush this time, so I'm definitely going back there very soon to sample more of their pancake-inspired meals. :)

Another Trip to Nando's Chickenland

What can I say? I've got the Peri-Peri Fever this month. The hot chick beckons, and I feel compelled to answer....I had lunch one day at Nando's Peri-Peri Chickenland again in Pavilion...

This time, I went for the quarter chicken set that comes with two side dishes, priced at RM 14.95, and a good cup of joe at RM 5.90. Good times!!

Bubble Bobble!

I''m sure a lot of you folks out there are fans of bubble tea, or sued to be fans of the novelty drink. It was such a craze and so popular back in the early 1990s that you cna find bubble tea stands in almost every nooks and corners. So popular, in fact, that one of my colleagues actually quit his job to become a full-time bubble tea vendor. Needless to say, his venture failed, as the popularity waned and people got bored of it. 

Well, guess what. I think the ubiquitous bubble tea is making a comeback! And I for one couldn't be happier. Still, you wouldn't be able to find many bubble tea stands nowadays, and the very few that I've tried didn't really live up to expectations.

But one particular bubble tea chain, called De Taste Bubble Tea, is about to change all that. I came across one of their outlets in Wisma Cosway (1st Floor, Lot 1.76) by accident, and out of curiosity, and a little bit of hope and anticipation, I decided to give it a try. 

And try I did. many, many times...My oh my...their bubble teas are marvellous! Let me tell you, i prided myself to be a bubble tea enthusiast, and I know the secret to a good cup of bubble tea lies in the texture of the tapioca pearls and the strong flavour of the tea. This outlet offers a wide range of bubble tea flavours, including my favourite, capucchino (RM 4.00). There are many other fruity flavours to choose from, you could order a different flavour for each day for an entire month! The original red milk tea is just priced at RM 2.50! Cheap and tasty! Now, that's a combination you can't say no to!

Now, apart from bubble tea, the outlet also sells sandwiches, from toasted egg, cheese to tuna, with prices ranging from RM 2.50 to RM 5.00. And that's not all, they also have Taiwan Mee Sua (Rm 6.00), which comes in four versions, namely filament stick, chicken floss, oyster and sotong balls. Last but not least, they also have Somen, another type of noddle dish, priced at RM 6.90.
So, do give them a try the next time you're in the area. I heard they also have an outlet in One Utama...

Tony Roma's @ The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley

Ahh....it's been a long while since I visited Mid Valley, the sanctuary of the well-heeled shoppers in the Klang valley. Since my last vist many many moons ago, the mall has expanded and evolved into an even bigger mall. It's effectively called a megamall now. The most notable addition is the Gardens Mall section, which houses many international and luxury brands. And here is where one can find an impressive food mecca, where rows and rows of eateries, restaurants, cafes and other food shops can be found....

I had the opportunity to check out the food mecca recently with a colleague. After much deliberation, we settled for Tony Roma's  (LG 217, Mid Valley City, No.1, Medan Syed Putra, 59200, KL. Phone: 03-2282 8243) for an early dinner.

Now, this is my second visit to a Tony Roma's restaurant, and what I have discovered is that they serve meals in huge portion...and the prices are medium-to-high...So, if you're not a big eater, do opt for sharing meals with your friends and family instead of ordering individual meal for each person. Trust me, most of the time, you wouldn't be able to finish any of the meal on your own. This is the best place to share foods...

Me and my colleague, we decided to order two dishes. One of it is the Buffaloe Bites, which are boneless chicken breast served with Carolina Honey Sauce. It is really, really good!!! The price is RM 17.90.

The other dish we ordered is the Chicken Mojo, which are grilled chicken breasts served with Mojo sauce, pineapple salsa, vegetables and rice pilaf....Yum yum yum...that's all I have to say. The price is RM 31.90.

Other than good foods, Tony Roma's is also well-known for its hospitality. Every now and then, one of their staff will approach our table to query us on the food and to see if everything is up to our likings. How nice...good service is hard to find nowadays, so we really appreciate the extra efforts they put in there at Tony Roma's in keeping their customers well-served and well-fed.

Oh, and do keep your receipt when you're done, because it entitles you to a RM 10 discount on your next visit. Let's hear it for Tony!
