Mayfair English Kitchen & Bar, PJ Trade Center

hmm...another good deal from MyDeal~ 
bought the voucher at RM28 and get 3 course meal + 1 beer or free flow of soft drink...
supposedly is a small family gathering, end up only a few of us can make it...
and we actually went twice to finish up the vouchers... XD

Mayfair English Kitchen & Bar located at PJ Trade Center...
noticed about this restaurant when i went to Canteen~
was planning with bei, one day we would pay a visit to Mayfair...
haha~ i think i should stop my long-winded story...
let's check out the yummy-licious part~ ^^

we started with appetizer, followed by main course, ended perfectly with dessert~ =)
they offered 3 choices for appetizer...
hence, we picked all of them~
yummy mushroom soup...
 one of the best mushroom soups i ever had...
every sip also full of minced mushrooms... yum!!
Caesar salad... 
 normal caesar salad without meat...
nothing special but not bad~ 
pepperbell tomato soup~ favourite!!
 i love the pepperbell tomato soup very much!!
the taste was quite strong but it helps to open up my appetite... nice!!
we added a snack from the menu...
Lager chicken wings...
 it tasted like normal fried chicken wings...
in their menu, stated that it marinated by Tiger beer...
but i didn't taste the Tiger beer at all...
in fact, RCS serve better chicken wings... =D
after all the appetizers, our main courses were served...
they had 5 main courses for us to choose~
again, we picked all...
pork burger...
 nothing special as well...
the meatloaf was a bit too dry and the bread was not soft...
but the potato wedges were fantastic~
fish & chips...
 was another nothing special dish...
the fish fillets were not too bad...at least fresh enough~
but i think Fish & Co. still serve the best fish & chips in town... ^^
bacon carbonara linguine~ 
 we all love the linguine...
it was creamy but not sticky... cheesy but not salty...
it was just so perfectly cooked... hmm~~ 5 stars!! 
haha... is a "must try" i will say... 
gratinated pork loin...
 i don't fancy pork... can even say rarely take pork...
but i must say this is GREAT!!
the meat was so juicy... well marinated...
with the cheese melted on top...
the taste was just simply great!! 
argh! i'm drooling... XD
roasted chicken leg...
 not the greatest dish, but was quite good...
the chicken leg was perfectly roasted, still juicy inside...
also well marinated... i especially love the pepperbell...

during our 2nd visit, we decided to take their promotion for those voucher users...
we add on their signature dish with 20% discount...
crispy pork knuckle...
good for sharing of 4 to 5 person...
portion was quite big~
it was delicious... crispy outside and tender inside~
well marinated yet not too salty...
just order and try it... will never regret!! =)
chocolate brownie with vanilla ice-cream...
i love the dessert~ but my advise is finish it when the brownie still warm...
the warm brownie + the cold ice-cream...
hmm... imagine it! it's yummy!!

we all enjoyed our nights there...
the ambience is nice... not a very big restaurant but comfortable enough...
reasonable price for the food and drinks...
good services provided...
i can't give myself a reason why shouldn't i dine in Mayfair again... haha~

Revisit: Poco Homemade, Bangsar

a leisurely Sunday~ 
woke up in the morning, thinking what to eat as our brunch...
was talking about Poco the night before...
decided to give a try on their food...
4 of us in a car~ GPS as our guide...
^^
Poco Homemade~ good to see the little blue door...
after we were seated, looking at their on window, i always like it very much~
hence, i took a picture of the window again... ^^
lovely little window~ =)
 they have changed their menu, from papers to cloth...
i like their creativity... environmental friendly too...
menu on a cloth... nice!
 as usual, bei's first meal always company by a cup of coffee...
i suppose Poco made good coffee since he never complain about it... 
original blended coffee to start off a good day...
 the rest of us don't really addicted to coffee, so we had something else~
such a hot afternoon, cold drinks are always preferable...
cold green tea and honey milk...
 Poco served Japanese style home-cooked food...
mainly their recipes are Japanese food...
jing always love spicy, so she had curry...
Omelet rice with curry... typical Japanese curry, not spicy but tasted sweet... (>.<)
bei always will go for whatever he familiar with...
he chose Chicken Katsu that he used to see in the Japanese restaurants' menu... 
slightly tasteless - Chicken Katsu Don
 yang and i decided to have curry rice, 
so each of us pick 1 with only the main ingredients were different...
Chicken Katsu Curry Rice with sweet curry and crispy deep fried chicken slice...
 i had fish instead of chicken...
was hoping they will serve better quality fish, at least must be fresh...
and yes! they didn't disappoint me... the fish fillet was good...
Fish Katsu Curry Rice...
 overall, their food wasn't really fantastic...
but i do tasted the home-cooked taste...
tasted their dessert before... knew that they served 4 stars desserts...
so, i ordered 2 types of desserts for sharing...
Taufu Cake and Green Tea Pudding top with red bean... yummy!
i always love their green tea pudding since the first bite...
not too sweet even towards the end...
is really nice!
the taufu cake tasted slightly light, but really soft and smooth like taufu...
there are a few more desserts which i never try before...
will definitely go back and try all their desserts...
somehow, it's a very cosy place to hang around...

Siam 62 Royal Thai Cuisine, Palm Spring, Kota Damansara

- 25/06/2011 -
it was a working Saturday...
decided to finish the vouchers that almost expired...
what else better than can have good food and don't need to pull out money from wallet during month end?
although it actually was prepaid...
***
Siam 62 located at Palm Spring, Kota Damansara...
easy to be found... at least we didn't lost in the way while looking for it...
entered the restaurant, first impression was: without voucher promotion sure fucking expensive!!!
it looks grand and cozy~ is a nice place to dine...
waiters were all friendly... good service provided with a smile on their face all the time...
without further delay, we placed our order and food served within 20 minutes...
EFFICIENT!! 
have no choice on the drinks...
but it was really good and refreshing...
Thai herbal drink - lemongrass tea..
 we had 5 vouchers, and the manager of Siam 62 was kind enough to allow us to use all 5 although we were only 4 person there~
we chose whatever that seem attractive to us by only reading the name of the dishes...
let's see what we had~
Fried Kuay Teow with Kailan and prawns 
Fried rice with prawn in Thai oyster sauce
Tom Yam soup with rice noodle
Stir fried kuay teow with chicken, bean sprouts and Thai sweet dark soy sauce 
Stir fried kuay teow, kailan and prawn top with Thai style gravy
 all the dishes were okay~ especially the Tom Yam soup was fantastic!
the spiciness was just nice...
can't say every dish was great, but what to expect if you only paid RM 6 nett for drink, main and dessert?
wanted to go back and try all those normal order dishes...
smelled and looked nice when the food served to the table next to us...
Thai style dessert - steam tapioca in coconut milk 
the dessert was a little too sweet for me...
but my judgement of sweetness is not reliable because i don't have sweet tooth~
overall, i gave 3/ 5 stars...
i really impress by their services... efficient and friendly...
even we didn't make any extra order, they still served us with smile...
will definitely go back again... and they are now doing some lunch set and buffet promotion~
grab the opportunity to imagine you are in Thailand... ^^
