Rakuzen Restaurant & Fitou Brasserie

04 December 2008 - Met up with a friend for lunch at Rakuzen Restaurant at The Waterfront @ Park City. This is actually a branch of the Rakuzen Restaurants in KL. Too bad though, they do not have the buffet lunch every Sunday like their other outlet at Chulan Square, Kuala Lumpur.

After lunch we went over for some drinks at Fitou Brasserie and I saw some pots of flowers that looked really nice. Enjoy the shots !

Restoran Cozy Corner

03 December 2008

There are many restaurants at Jaya 33 along Jalan Semangat and somehow or other we had not come to have any food here before. Since we were at the supermarket (Jaya Grocer), we decided to have lunch to try out the food here. Surprisingly the food is quite good and not too expensive either. The waiters and waitresses were also very nice !

Chocolate Banana Cupcakes & Banana Muffins

26 & 27 November 2008

I bought a recipe book from Popular Book Store and found this recipe quite interesting. It is actually a recipe for a Chocolate Banana Cake but I've made them into cupcake size. The presentation (as you can see) is not up to standards yet but the taste, according to some family and friends, is good ! Brought these 'cupcakes' over to our friend's house in Seremban to celebrate their son's full moon day and they liked it ! Only thing is I didn't decorate the cupcakes as per 'full moon' thingy !!

My father's friend gave him lots of bananas from his orchard and that is why I decided to make these two banana bakes ! Below is the Banana Muffin that I made with the recipe from the same book that I bought. Only modified it slightly to cater to my family's tastes !

Grand Imperial Restaurant

30 November 2008

This restaurant opened just about a week ago at Bangsar Shopping Centre. We were there for a puppet show (Aesop's Fables II) by the Actors Studio on Friday and saw the banner for the restaurant. Decided to give it a try and found it to be quite good. They serve Dim Sum by the way, plus the usual Chinese dishes. We tried the Dim Sum and it was to our liking so we came again on Sunday.

I'm not sure if they change chefs on different days or it was because they were very new, but I thought the Dim Sum tasted better on Friday than on Sunday. Or maybe there were too many people visiting the restaurant which led to a slight drop in the quality and taste ?

Fitou's ... again ?

28 November 2008

Yup! We went to Fitou's again, but we tried some different dishes this time ! It was one of our neighbour's birthday and so we came here for dinner. One of the main reasons was to drink the 'tower' beer. (forgot to take a picture of it though!)

The Wild Boar Stew and the Iberian Pork Ribs were actually specials of the day. I think I prefer the dishes we had when we came here the first time. The Wild Boar Stew was 'so-so', and the Iberian Pork Ribs were alright but the portion was too small (and not cheap too).
