Kura

2009-08-30T07:39:00.000-07:00

Kura, a famouse japanese food in PJ. Kura is located in One World hotel next to One Utama shopping centre.

The ambience here is perfect as well as the food. You may walk in to the restaurant during your lunch but you are encouraged to book for dinner. This place is usually crowded during dinner time.

We have been there twice, and orered variety of japanese food. The handroll, shashimi, noodle, sushi and etc are all freshly made. The portion per serving is big compared to typical japanese restaurant. You might need to pay slightly higher price but the food is very much value for the money you pay... Check it out!!

There serve set meal for lunch and dinner as well as other ala carte.

Pork Knuckle

2009-08-29T07:51:00.000-07:00

If you like pork knuckle, u shouldn't miss this special pork.

The shop is open, without air-con and an old shade only. Where is the exact location? You can't really see the shop if you are not familiar with the place. The most easy way to find this place is, you need to look for kepong market near to wai sek kai, and ask for famous pork knuckle shop, everybody will show you the way there. The shop is no name and managed by 4 chinese.

Tasty Pork Knuckle!

Japanese Dessert - MOF

2009-08-28T05:46:00.000-07:00

MOF, a very impressive name... Ministry of Food...

Do you like dessert? I would say MOF serves good japanese dessert and it worth a try...

Where can you find MOF? Actually it is in the Pavillion shopping mall KL, at the LG floor.

The owner is from Singapore. They serve quite a variety of dessert.

We have ordered abekawa and rice ball with green tea ice-cream. Abekawa is ovenly-baked Japanese mochi with japanese soya bean powder and Hokaiddo red bean pasta.

Abekawa (mochi with red bean paste)

Red bean paste with rice ball and green tea ice-cream

Besides of the above, they are actually selling quite a lot of variety with dessert with sweet potato, rice ball, ice-blended and coffee. We have also tried the Macha Mixed Imo (green tea sauce, red bean paste, yam and sweet potato during my 1st visit, it was tasty.

I have visited this cafe twice. Overall, the food are very tasty. However, compared to the 1st time, the service is poorer. I would think that if they provide good service, the business shall be better.

Sweet things are always served with mineral water, in this cafe, you need to buy if you want mineral water or even sky juice.

Shook starhill

2009-08-26T18:16:00.000-07:00

A lunch at shook starhill is very sastifiying, even it is a bit pricey.

It started with a appetizer, glass noodle with prawn, taste abit sour... A nice appetizer to kick start of a meal.

You have a main meal option on either penne pasta with prawn or grilled chicken with broccoli. I have chosen pasta with prawn as prawn is always my favourite.

The pasta tasted good in overall except a bit salty. My friend has choosen the grilled chicken, she was saying the chicken a bit dry yet good in overall.

For the dessert, we were served with chocolate pudding. This is a very fantastic dessert.

New York New York in 1U shopping mall is just newly open few months back. The exact location is opposite Cold Storage hypermarket. This restaurant is serving American dishes.

All the food are well marked with spicy, chef choice, and etc. If you are interested to try American food, you may consider this.

The food is a bit pricey yet you get a very big portion of it. What you no need to worry about is, the food variety is great and tasty. Worth a try!

I like Dim Sum

2009-08-22T03:11:00.001-07:00

I like dim sum, i tried at so many places to look for the best dim sum. Today, i would like to recommend a budget yet tasty dim sum. I would say this is the best dim sum in Petaling Jaya so far.

The shop name is Tian Xin Dian Xin. It is located same row with Maybank ss2, just a few steps away. They sell quite a variety of dim sum. Below are a few photos of recommended food that you shouldnt miss if you happen to drop by : -

Sesame Rice Ball

Red bean

There are a variety of pao selling there. The char siew pao is good. The most tasty pao that you shouldnt miss is Sunshine Pao.

Noddle with Nam Ju Pork

Lo Mai Kai

Besides of the above, the prawn dumpling is very good, the prawns are very fresh. Fish ball and pork ribs are also very tasty.

They are recently giving a discount on the food for limited period. I think it worth a try if you are dim sum lovers.

The waiter and waitress are mainly burmese, they are providing quite good service except a lady which might not that friendly.
