Paddington House of Pancakes @ 1Utama

Although I've passed by this place many times and heard about how good their pancakes taste, believe it or not, I have not tried it till yesterday afternoon. Just right before going for a movie , we decided to have some dessert at Paddington House of Pancakes in 1u. We ordered "Treasure Box" and a Banana Mango Milkshake. They were just simply delightful! Treasure box was indeed filled with treasures. It had mini pancakes, fresh strawberries, nuts, vanilla ice cream, peaches, raisins, apples, and bananas. All that in one plate! It took me quite some time to decide which ones to try because all of their desserts are mouthwatering! On top of that, the setting is quite nice because it is situated near the 'rainforest' area. The restaurant is enclosed with a see through glass, so from there, you can actually have a view of the indoor 'forest' and the fish ponds. Most definitely would go there again to try other types of desserts!

Bread & Olives Cafe @ Lookout point

It's been some time since we've updated anything. Sad to say, we've been quite busy. =(
Anyway, here's a review of a place we went to have dinner last 2 weeks ago. This place, known as "lookout point" in Ampang, was recommended by a friend of mine. =) It took us about an hour to get there from PJ coz it was so jam! I think we arrived at 9.30pm and there were still lots of people.
There are actually several restaurants/cafe at "lookout point." The famous ones being Gasoline Cafe and Bread & Olives. That night, we decided to have a go at Bread & Olives Cafe.













First thing that I have to say is that the view of KL was simply amazing! Despite many attempts at taking pictures of the scenary, this is the best that I could get. =( My camera doesn't take good night pictures. Probably should get one of those Nikon semi-pro cams? hehe.
The ambience is quite nice. The cafe itself is quite spacious I might say. First thing we ordered were our drinks. Daniel ordered a chocolate milk shake and I ordered the Bread & Olive special fruit cocktail (as shown in pic). We were quite amazed when my drink came. LOL. I didn't expect to see so many colors in one tall glass. The taste however, was abit disappointing. It tasted like ice shavings mixed with fruit syrup.













For the main course, Daniel ordered steak. There weren't many choices on steaks. This is the only one on the menu. The steak came with some butterish garlic topping, some veggies, potatoes, and a side of mushroom gravy. It tasted quite good actually. The meat was quite juicy as compared to the steak we tried while we were at Tony Romas. I'd give the steak a 2 thumbs up! =D













On the other hand, I tried the quarter chicken served with briyani rice. I loved the chicken because it's so fragrant! Not sure what kind of spice they add to the chicken though but it sure tasted good. But the rice...hrm..didn't finish it coz felt that it was abit dry.













And believe it or not, we also decided to order pizza. Definitely did not expect such a huge pizza! But it was really worth it. I have never tasted anything like it. Well, I guess most probably because I'm so used to ordering the usual hawaiian pizza. :P
Even the name of this pizza sounds so unique. It's called the Burj Al Arab pizza. The pizza was topped with a generous amount of onions, capsicum, olives, cheese, tomatoes and meat. We were so full that we ended up taking home the 2 slices of pizza we couldn't finish.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend the pizza. It's a must try there! The only downside is that they don't accept credit cards. LOL. Actually wanted to give Daniel a treat, but I didn't have enough cash on me. So he ended up getting the tab. hehe.

Here's the address in case you guys decide to try it out:
Bread & Olives Cafe
No. 7 Lot Perniagaan Komplex Pelancongan
Menara Tinjau, Jalan Ampang Hulu Langat

You Tiao @ Pavillion food republic for Taufufa

ST: After having our dimsum in damansara PJ, we went off to Pavillion to do some shopping.
Few hours of window shopping later, I suggested we have taufufa. No shopping is complete without some dessert right? :p hehe. We went down to Food Republic on lower ground floor to this small stall called "You Tiao." We ordered their famous taufufa (RM3.20) and yau char kway(RM1.40).


Their taufufa is one of the best I've tried. Look at how shiny and glistening it appears in the picture! The texture is so smooth and silky. I'd say it practically melts in your mouth. Now I usually get my taufufa from an uncle in SS2 who sells taufufa (RM1.60) and soya bean just opposite of Savemart in the mornings. His taufufa is close to second to this one in "You Tiao." So for those taufufa lovers living near PJ area, if you think its a hassle to go all the way to KL for good taufufa, you might want to give this uncle's taufufa a try. =) Usually he'd be there around 10am to 3pm. You won't miss him as he's always parked right in front of Savemart in a small white truck. The texture is a bit different in the sense that it's slightly thicker than You Tiao's. However, in terms of freshness, they are at par with one another. You might wonder, how can you tell if it's fresh? Well, as long as it doesn't give you that sourish aftertaste. I get annoyed whenever I try other stall's taufufa and it gives you that slight hint of sourishness. Disgusting...


Now for the yau char kway, its quite crispy and surprisingly doesn't tastes as oily as the normal yau char kway you'd get from other places like 'pasar pagi.' "You Tiao" also serves porridge, soya bean, and other fried snacks which I'd like to try the next time I go there.

Overall, definitely a two thumbs up!!

Weng Heong @ Klang for Bakuteh

ST: This afternoon, we decided to go to Restraunt Weng Heong in Klang which is near Taman Rashna chinese school. The place was packed as usual!

We ordered pork with some fat (I insisted that we ordered lean meat but daniel says it'll be nicer with some fat - though I thought it didn't really taste any different :p), and some veggies on the side as well (not shown in the pic) and of course the yau char kway (no bakuteh is complete without it!).

The soup was delicious! The flavour of the soup was just right--it was not too thick or too light for my tastebuds.
The meat on the other hand was quite tender and juicy which is the way I like my meat. =)

In terms of the ambience, its quite noisy. But I guess that's what you'd expect in a normal bakuteh restaurant considering the fact that there were tons of people. I'd definitely recommend this place for a family gathering or just catching up with friends. Though, you might need to raise your voice up abit to be heard. :p


Look at how much we loved the soup!








If you'd like to try, here's their address:

Restoran Weng Heong
No 28, 30 Jalan 5,
Kawasan 16, Taman Intan

There's actually quite a number of other Bakuteh restaurants in that area. We'll definitely try the others next time. And I guess that'll be for another entry. =)
