Tanzini, G Tower

always talk about eat~
but i never have a chance to go for fine dining until i see the deal from Groupon...
3-course western lunch at Tanzini for RM 38 per pax?
to experience the fine dining, of course i bought the voucher...
and there we go~
Tanzini at G Tower Hotel...
left from the lift... level 28 of G Tower...
walked into the restaurant...
all you can see is friendly smile on all the waiters and waitresses' face...
although we are using the voucher, they still treat us like normal guests...
while i walking into the restaurant~
i took some shots...
the waiting area...
part of the dining area...
table for 2?
the wine cellar along the walkway...
what a classy and cosy ambience~
while waiting for our food and drinks to be served...
i walked out from the restaurant to the "balcony"...
smoking area~
very kind of them...
well prepared for the smokers...
chairs and side table with ashtray...
spot the KLCC...
i believe it would be really great sitting outside to have a couple of drinks last time...
before all the construction works going on...

let's move on to what we had on that great afternoon...
(it was a great afternoon because we actually heading to Langkawi that night ^^)
when we were brought to our table...
this was already on the table...
we were wondering what was that...
i was actually thinking it was just a decoration... haha!
dips for the pre-dining bread~
they were awesome!
the one on the left...was actually made with chili...
the middle one was the olive oil with balsamic vinegar...
on the right was the chili flake in olive oil~
i love the chili paste...hmm...it's so yummy...
hot soft pre-dining bread~
the voucher didn't include drinks~
so, we ordered our drinks from the menu...
and it was a mistake for us not taking their promotion...
with the set lunch, you can buy 2 mocktails at RM 19.00++
but we didn't take that...
what we picked from the menu were the most expensive drinks i ever had...
Fresh Orange Juice  RM 16.00++
RM 16 for a glass of Orange Juice? OMG!!
it's ridiculous, but what do you expect in a fine dining restaurant right?
the hot drinks to me were still acceptable...
we pay about the same in Starbucks or Coffee Bean anyway~
Hot Mocha  RM 13.00++
Hot Cafe Latte  RM 13.00++
enough for the drinks~
our 3-course lunch started with a soup or a salad...
Soup of the day - Zuppa Del Giorno
i don't know what's the ingredients of the soup...
it was good... thick and strong on the taste...
it really opened my taste bud~
Bei had the salad, so that we could taste on both...
Yellow Fin Tuna Salad
the salad was superb...
Carpaccio of Yellow Fin Tuna served with organic salad greens, black grapes and Yuzu Vinaigrette~
for main course...
Tanzini offered 3 choices...
we had 4 vouchers, so we can had all 3... ^^
Bei had the Grilled Black Angus Rib Eye...
served with Perigueux sauce, black truffle, potato Mousseline and seasonal vegetables...
the steak was juicy and tender...
how we wish they could give a thicker cut~
Grilled Black Angus Rib Eye
i of course will choose the lamb...
Sous-vide of Lamb Leg
the 8 hours slow-cooked sliced lamb leg...
served with Tuscan Peppers, Puy Lentil and sautéed vegetables...
it was juicy and tender...not too much of fat...
again, i wish they could give a thicker cut... XD
Sous-vide of Lamb Leg
my Fei Mei do not fancy lamb or beef...
but she crazy over pasta...
so, that was her choice - the Spaghetti Alfredo
served with grilled boneless chicken leg, portobello mushrooms ad aged parmesan...
the chicken was juicy and tender also~
the spaghetti was nice...not too creamy yet strong on cheese taste... yum!
Spaghetti Alfredo
after all our main courses...
the waiter served the dessert of the day~
it was a chocolate cake...
i kinda like it... but it was a bit too sweet towards the end...
dessert of the day~
the portion of the food were crazily small...
perhaps it's how the fine dining should be...
but looking at next table...their ala carte portion wasn't that small~
maybe next time, i should go back for the ala carte dinner menu...
overall, the service was excellent...
the food tasted great~ nice ambience and view...
was a great experience for me...
was my first time, having fine dining as my meal~
not really know what i wrote is adequate...
but i will learn...hope whoever reading this won't mind it...

Austin Chase, Sunway Giza

it was a great Saturday...
i dated my ex-bosses out for breakfast~
finally we met after a year...
i've never have breakfast during weekend...
after some research~ we decided to have our breakfast at
- Austin Chase, Sunway Giza -
kinda difficult to find review on Austin Chase...
and i found 2... was blogging about their Egg.cellent breakfast deal~
and, that's what we had!
Egg.cellent all-day breakfast deals from 8.00a.m.
the Egg.cellent breakfast come with a cup of hot brewed coffee...
refillable but only until 11a.m.~
refillable brewed coffee that comes with the breakfast set~
their coffee was quite okay~
just like normal brewed coffee, nothing special...
me and Cik Ida decided to have 2 different sets so that we can exchange the sausage and ham...
thank God they served 2 sausages and 2 slices of ham~
Scrambled Egg & Chicken Sausages  RM 10.90
Scrambled Egg & Chicken Ham  RM 10.90
the scrambled egg was tasteless...
and the waiters and waitresses took ages to bring us the requested salt and pepper...
the sausages and ham that they used were the normal sausages and ham that we can get from the hypermarket...
the scrambled egg was not fluffy~ can't even taste the milk in it...
what a simple breakfast that i can even do it my own at home with better quality and quantity...

Scrambled Egg, Smoked Salmon with Baked Beans & Toast  RM 12.90
Ms V loves salmon~
she took the smoked salmon set and it was really bad...
the smoked salmon was too fishy and spoiled the scrambled egg...
the scrambled egg wasn't good anyway~
but, the hash brown was quite good...
paying RM 12.90++ for 2 pieces of hash brown?
i don't think so!
seriously~ i don't think i will go back again...
their service was terrible...
we asking for refill to our coffee... 
the waiters and waitresses looked at their watch immediately in front of us...
that make us feel insulted...
then, they took ages to bring back the coffee...
when Ms V wanted a second cup of refill...
non of the waiters or waitresses can be found on the floor~
so, she went into the bar counter and asked for the coffee by herself...
guess what? they bartender actually asked her:"what's the time now?"...
what the hell! is it the correct way to treat your customer?
will definitely not going to Sunway Giza branch anymore...
maybe the Mid Valley branch is better? i don't know...

delicious, Marc Residence KL

< Permanently CLOSED >

it was a great Sunday...
we had a great day out together with love and laughter~
the reason why they will came all the way from hometown...
is to finish the expiring vouchers...
and one of it is a hi-tea voucher @ delicious cafe, Marc Residence...
the classy walkway to Marc Residence...
from the car park elevator, turn left is to enter the Marc Residence...
that wasn't our destination...
so, we turned right to the delicious cafe~
big signboard by the road side...
i would say it has the best ambience among the delicious cafes that i've been before~
the waiting area~
the smoking area...
it was the last Sunday before the expiry date...
and this is what happened...
FULL HOUSE!!
our reservation was 5.30p.m...
and we got our table 15 minutes later just because the earlier group was late...
and they got no enough staff to clear the table~
their menu... like wedding invitation card... XD
the voucher was tea set for 2...
which included 2 drinks...
let's see what we chose~
Iced Cappuccino...
Hot Mocha...
Hot Latte...
every voucher included a 3-tier afternoon tea set...
and our table had 4~ haha!
the classical triple tiered tray afternoon tea~
what were served in on the tray?
let's find out...
3 warm scones with preserves & pure cream...
soft scones... can be compared with Smokehouse one~ 
assorted finger sandwiches & duck confit in filo pastry...
finger sandwiches... cucumber, smoke salmon & egg with caviare~
there were strawberries with chocolate dip, hand-rolled chocolate truffles~
and rosemary & cheese cookies...
then, you can choose a slice of any one cake on display...
and because we had 4 vouchers, we chose 4 different cakes~
bread pudding~ nice!
last slice of bread pudding and thank God! i got it...
red velvet cupcake...
not so special...
can't remember what it is...
it was the last one on the display...
and there were not many choices left...
i don't really like it... was too sweet to me...
but Syan loved it~ =D
it was a pie... but can't remember it's name...
this was nice! we all love it...
but too bad, i can't remember what it is... =/

it was a good afternoon tea...
we all enjoyed~
originally it cost RM59.90++ for 2 person...
will definitely go back to delicious cafe for the afternoon tea~
but i think i will not go to the delicious cafe at Marc Residence KL anymore...
simple reason: car parking fee cost us RM 17 for not more than 3 hours!
it's ridiculous!!!

movie: 爱 LOVE

爱,是什么?
在看过预告片以后,一直期待着它的上映...
原以为马来西亚不会上映的了~
却意外从电台听见关于它的消息...
既然有在上,当然一定要看!

我个人觉得是一部很不错的电影...
钮导把人生里最重要的爱都放进电影去了...
父母对孩子的爱~
手足之间的爱~
男女之间的爱~
朋友之间的爱~
爱,到底是什么?
它可以让人觉得很幸福,很快乐...
却也可以让人很痛苦,很难过...

《爱 LOVE》 让我觉得...
父母对孩子的爱最无私~
手足之间的爱最无法取代...
男女之间的爱最灿烂~
朋友之间的爱最难得...
父母爱孩子是不求回报的,所以最无私...
兄弟姐妹爱对方是没有代价的,所以最无法取代...
男人和女人在遇到最适合的人之前是不停地变的,所以最灿烂...
朋友不一定是真心爱你的,所以真心的那个,最难得!

不想透露剧情...
因为一旦知道了故事的发展,就没意思了!
还没看的你们,赶紧买票吧!
真的值得一看哦~

看了电影以后,我不禁在想:
我懂爱么?
口口声声说着爱...
真的懂么?
也许不是很懂...
但,我相信爱!
也在不断的学习着~
如何爱与被爱...

Craft Brews Brewhouse & Restaurant, Mutiara Damansara

- 11.02.2012 -
i'm a lazy bug... delayed this post for a month~
perhaps, i have too many to share...
that's why i'm late? =P

it was my BFF's birthday celebration...
we always allow the birthday girl/boy to choose the restaurant she/he wanted to go~
and this is what she chose...
a restaurant that located opposite to Tesco...
a restaurant that i always wanted to give a try~
= Craft Brews =
turn the menu around, the you will see the drinks menu~ ^^
kinda like their ambience~
so sorry for not having any nice picture of the restaurant ambience...
as i know, Craft Brews carries their own beer~
and of course... being a beer drinker, we will go for the special brews...
me and Bei took the Happy Hour 2 pint set...
which we can choose whatever we want from the fixed items...
we chose Oregasmic and Brutal IPA...
Happy Hour 2 Pint Set at RM 49.00
the birthday girl enjoyed a complimentary beer and meal from them...
what a good promotion...
it valid for 3 days before and 3 days after of your birthday...
the green colour beer was what they served to the birthday girl~
i barely remember they named it as Monster...
complimentary beer, Monster selling at RM 19.00 for half pint
when we were wondering what to order~
the waiter served this to the table next to us...
then~ that's what we ordered! =D
Garden salad in giant bowl...
of course not only the salad...
we had the mixed meat platter for sharing...
Craft Brews Meat Platter with Garden Salad  RM120.00
the platter good enough for 4 to 5 sharing~
there were 2 different flavours of pork ribs and 2 different flavours of chicken leg...
served with corns and potato wedges...
their wedges were superb and were one of the signatures dishes...

remember the complimentary meal for the birthday girl?
we chose Pork Bolognese with Fettuccini...
it was delicious too...
in fact was just like normal bolognese... XD
Pork Bolognese  RM 24.00
they do have some dishes are prepared for the vegetarian customers...
and we ordered one~
but i wonder why the vegetarian pasta was topped with bacon...
it must be human fault... =/
Chef's Pasta with Fettuccini  RM 24.00
we can't call it a birthday celebration if there's no cake...
and we are all the trendy young people...
so, we had the recently hot and popular cake for the birthday girl~
haha! the Strawberry Mille Crepe...
Strawberry Mille Crepe  RM 14.00
well~ it was not bad...
but i still prefer the one i had at Food Foundry...
we had a great night out~
catch up with each other...
updated how's everybody doing... ^^
my BFF~
it was a complicated night for me~
should i say i was lucky or unlucky?
perhaps you can tell me the answer...
i twisted my right leg again~
with my pair of new wedges on it...
Bei was nagging me the whole night... (poor me...Y.Y )
but, i won a tower of beer from guessing the football match score...
i suppose it was a compensation to my twisted leg...
i was the 3rd draw... the previous 2 left the restaurant before the match end...
lucky? unlucky? haha~
got to go back again and redeem my tower of beer...
of course~ even if i didn't get the free beer, it's still a restaurant that worth for second visit... ^^
