Aseana Café @ Suria KLCC

Tuesday, April 25, 2006

We always have problem to decide what to eat when step into Suria KLCC during lunch time. Normally will end up in the Signature food court or Burger King. I'm kind of sick with it. Suria KLCC has quite a number of restaruants, most of them are on the high price side.. what to do, this is Malaysia most popular shopping center.

Having our lunch in Aseana Café, a cafe hiding in the Aseana's Home & Gifts galleria. It has been around since year 1999, nevertheless we've never dine in here. I always see some mat salleh or rich aunties having their meal here during lunch time. The whole idea of Aseana galleria is Asean, the decration is mixture of Thai, Bali, Vietnam, Malaysia and etc, created a "tropica" and yet relax environment. No wonder foreigner love here. Since it awarded as the Best Café Restaurant 2005 by the Malaysian Tourism Board, we decided to give a try. Let's see if they worth for the title.

Vietnamese Srping Roll (RM9.95)
TY live in Vietname for months. He complain this is not authentic on his first bite. Still taste good though, maybe they have modified to suit Malaysian taste


Aseana Fish Curry (RM19.95)


Nyonya Fish Asam Pedas (RM19.95)


Nasi Lemak with Chicken Rendang (RM16.95)


Beef Curry (RM19.95)
Beef cooked with ground spices & red chilies.


Nasi Campur Aseana (RM20.95)
I'm a bit greedy, I want to try all on above, so I ordered this Nasi Campur. The beef rendang is seriously good, fish is a bit fishy, bad.



Cafe Latte, Iced Coffee and Sky juice


Overall the food are nice, just that price on the high side. No wonder rich people go there. It's ridiculous to spend 20 over bucks for this mixed rice, better spend in Bumbu Bali, their mixed rice also 20 over bucks. :p

Nasi Lemak at Pantai Dalam

Tuesday, April 04, 2006

Another Tuesday, have my regular workout at Menara Summit. Today is slightly differnt, I took New Pantai Expressway(NPE) and stop by Pantai Dalam on the way to USJ for the purpose of Warung Nasi Lemak Rindu. FriedChillies.com gave very good comments on this nasi lemak shop, so I think it's worth to pay a visit.


Nasi Lemak Ayam (RM 3.50)

As you can see, nasi lemak with a piece of fried chicken is very cheap! I like the sambal.

Nasi Lemak Biasa for take out (RM1.00)


* I did not turn on the flash light when taking photos, hence the photos are deficient in brightness.

Pizza vs Satay @ USJ9

Wednesday, March 22, 2006

I had my late dinner at Pizza vs Satay at USJ 9 yesterday night after my regular workout at FF @ Menara Summit. You know, when I first seen this restaurant, I was laughing.. what an odd name the restaurant has, "Pizza vs Satay"?? Eating pizza with satay? or Satay Pizza? whatever.. never bother to step into this restaurant at that time.

What make me step into Pizza vs Satay yesterday then? I read some reviews saying their Nasi Lemak probably is one of the best in town! This statement is convincing enuff to pay them a visit.

Great Food Served Here?

The light is warm, setting is comfortable.

You can see a lot of media has reviewed Pizza vs Satay, they frame up all the reviews from newspaper and magazine and hang on one side of the wall, I snap some of it:
Almost all the major English and Malay newspaper/magazine's food review column is on the wall, including The Star, The Edge, Berita Harian, Malay Mail, Flavours, Day & Night.. and many more. Most of the reviews talk about their nasi Lemak, due to all these, I have very high expectation to Pizza vs Satay.

This is what we have ordered:

Pizza vs Satay most famous Nasi Lemak Set
(RM7.90 with a glass of tasteless Ice Lemon Tea)


Another popular dish Satay Set - Chicken (RM6.90)


The Nasi Lemak sambal is slightly sweet, not very hot. Sambal Sotong and Rendang Ayam just normal; The rice is cooked with coconut milk, but the taste was not strong enough.

Chicken Stay, unlike satay from other places, you hardly spot any fat from the satay. The taste is ok, the kuah is average. I must say, Hj. Samuri Satay Kajang is serving better Satay than this.

Most probably I won't return to Pizza vs. Stay again. Not sure is my tastebuds different from those professional food reviewer? Or because I arrived late (~10pm) and they were not keen in serving me..
