S.Wine.

Publika.

I can honestly tell you that this place is rather hidden.

Non-halal, and I find the restaurant name punny.

Swine. Hah.

Mum loved this, she came and decided to order this before we

had a good look of the menu.

We had their watermelon, roasted pork salad.

The pork crackling wasn't crackling, and it has a rather porky taste to it.

And I can honestly tell you that warm watermelon is WEIRD.

And the picture above is their pulled pork sandwich.

I kinda like it, and I kinda don't like it at the same time.

And come on, FRIESSS!

The last one, this looks hella wrong.

The colour for this dish is quite poor, as you can see it's only brown

and white and a hint of green.

The sausages had a taste to it, but I enjoyed the sauerkraut hash/rosti.

I honestly wouldn't really return, but maybe we ordered not the best items.

Pigs & Wolf

Pigs & Wolf.

I was totally surprised and impressed because of the ambience.

And I haven't been to Pavilion in ages, so the Dining Loft was absolutely new to me.

First of all, they serve pork,

so it's pretty empty here.

We started off with their Grilled Pork Salad.

I liked the salad, the pork was a little dry,

but mum finds it porky.

It would be better if they didn't add the onions.

We had their recommended dish; Green With Envy as a main, 

and when the plate was placed on the table, I wasn't impressed. 

The colour was terrible and the plating was blergh.

I didn't like this at all because of the cutting they served for this pork chop

as it was very fatty.

But the lemon sauce was okay.

We also ordered another pork chop called Snug Piggy.

So clearly it looks more like a typical chicken chop with mushroom sauce.

I like this one better than the other,

and their fries was just right. (Loved them!)

This is their Hatchlings which I believe is a deep fried jacket potato.

It was as crunchy as it should be,

so it made it rather tough to chew.

I like this appetiser, but most didn't enjoy it.

Overall, it was just okay.

For the price we paid, we expected better.

And mind you, it wasn't really that affordable.

We wouldn't really return.

Milkcow.

At last, Milkcow.

Everyone's been talking about it.

Went over to Sunway for lunch, and they just decided to grab dessert after that.

Freda had their Milky Cube and oh my god, I swear it was good.

I love their soft serve because the milk ice cream's taste isn't quite like others,

but it was more that just great.

And milk and honey is a combo that I simply love.

Call me weird, but I enjoyed chewing the beeswax from the honeycomb.

John had their Green Light which is just basically mint syrup with their milk ice cream.

To me, it's just sweet toothpaste and good ice cream.

Sorry, mint lovers.

Andy ordered their Milky Shot.

According to them, the coffee wasn't enough, 

but as you reach the bottom, it gets better.

I still think the milk ice cream is the star of this shop.

But it is slightly overpriced, I'll have to do good just to treat myself with this.

Bad Boy Cooks.

Now playing: One Last Time - Ariana Grande

We decided to go out again to try out Bad Boy Cooks 

since on Monday mornings we have time.

The last time we wanted to try this, it wasn't open yet 

because we were too early.

We tried these burgers at the Oasis Square branch and it was honestly not bad.

It's a much more quiet version of Johnny Rockets.

I had their BB Bessie which I believe it's their signature.

It was surprising for a budget burger because the patty was served slightly rare.

The patty was still pink and they don't usually serve it pink,

and it was well flavoured.

I was a little disappointed with the portion, then again, 

in a diner, it's only around RM10.

Freda had their Al-Funghi with Fish Baton and she enjoyed it.

Elaine had their Green BB, which was actually part of my indecisive decisions.

I just couldn't decide with burger to grab. 

Her burger looked good though.

And Li Min ordered their Mad Nemo.

When the burger came, we were all puzzled because it's a hot dog bun,

with 3 pieces of battered something.

I found out that the fish was the same fish that Freda added on.

Mother's Day 2015.

Now Playing: You Raise Me Up - Westlife

Up at 8 in the morning,

getting dressed for breakfast because mum decided that she wants 

to have Bonjour for breakfast.

It is her "day" anyway.

So dad drove us to the Intermark's branch

and we went to get a table for 5.

So I had their Smoked Duck sandwich, 

which I think it is new and

btw, those are not corn bits, they're mango cubes.

The smoked duck was good, and the way they match it with the mango was just great.

However, the bread sucks. I mean it, it was just tough,

tougher than a tree bark.

Nikki had their Good Old English,

typical English Breakfast.

And mum had her usual, Asparagus and Poached Eggs.

Debbie had their Hot Eggs,

which is served with pancakes instead of toast.

But the pancakes weren't even close to fluffy, and they were tough.

And dad? 

He shared our food.

Knowing us, we can't finish our food.

Happy Mother's Day, mummy!

And of course, to all the mums and mum-to-be out there.

Vietnam Kitchen.

Lately, I've been eating Vietnamese food a lot.

And we actually ran out of new restaurants to try out in Leisure Mall,

so we went to Vietnam Kitchen.

This restaurant had been here for ages, 

I think we tried it when I was younger, 

but for some reason we never really return.

So today mum thought of this restaurant 

because the last time we passed by the restaurant,

we saw that it'd renovated and it gave 

a completely different perspective.

Of course, the ever so famous rice paper spring roll 

which can't really go wrong. 

Debbie ordered sliced ham with rice noodles.

The broth was good, 

Vietnamese coffee!

It was really aromatic, then the bitterness kicked in

and everyone's face cringed. 

Chicken spring roll with rice noodle thing.

I really should have jot down the names, but oh well.

The spring roll was good, but overall, the noodles were a little blend.

(Even though I cleared the sauce plate).

Some sort of sausage roll, wrapped with rice paper.

It was good as well, but I prefer the other spring roll.

Mum ordered this chicken thing,

I didn't really give it a try because I'm busy with the rest of the food.

And BANH MI! Yay! 

This is their famous one with minced pork.

It was good! I loved the bread,

mum thought it was similar to Subway's :(

One thing about Banh Mi is that I always have to watch out for their little surprise,

the chilli.

Crave Cafe.

Now playing: Hands All Over - Maroon 5

Usually I don't post what I eat during our break times,

but this post is exceptional.

Freda drove us to Oasis Square,

despite the crazy ass jam,

just for brunch.

I had their Earl Grey tea.

I think it's infused with some sort of mint, 

because it tasted different and it was actually

rather concentrated.

John ordered their sandwich, with their artisan bread.

Believe me, the bread was good. 

Freda and I ordered their salmon and scramble.

I wished there's more salmon and the scramble was fluffy! 

We were disappointed because we expected something like John's.

Although it looked plain, but it was actually pretty filling.

Btw, we are broke after this meal.

Uncle Jang @ Ampang

Okay I just found out there's Uncle Jang in Ampang. 

I've heard of it, but the one I usually hear about is the Puchong branch.

And so, we decided to give it a try and see why is it so famous.

First, we spent 15 minutes driving around just to find it.

Then when we arrive, it was somewhat empty.

Debbie's friends said that weekends are impossible, 

but I guess it's not.

Man I feel like making pancakes on this thing.

There's a lot of flies, for some reason, but it didn't really bother us.

I was concerned when they said it wasn't spicy, 

because the colour didn't convince me.

And here's a picture of the food being cooked.

Almost ready.

And there you go, they added ramen to it.

I was glad that it wasn't spicy, although the colour was intimidating.

The taste was just a-okay, I wouldn't mind returning. 

Kiku-Zakura @ Great Eastern Mall

Now playing: Geromino - Sheppard

I can honestly consider Kiku-Zakura as my 

all-time-favourite Japanese restaurant. 

Or at least the branch in Great Eastern.

Once awhile we'll eat there if we're up for Japanese,

and so far, their food never really disappoint us.

And I'm aware that I hadn't post much lately, 

so I decided to write an opinion post on my favourite Japanese restaurant.

This is their buttered asparagus with Bonito flakes.

We've never ordered this, but it was great!

The usual, kappa maki. 

Fried baby fish? I'm sure there a proper term, but I never bother to learn.

I should. But oh well. We'll always order this whenever we eat there.

Some sort of fancy maki that we've never ordered.

There's tempura and stuff, wrapped with seaweed and raw salmon.

Fried baby shrimps. I seriously need to get my terms right.

This is somewhat similar to the fish, but I prefer the fish more.

Their somen. Their broth was just nice that day,

because the last time we had it, it was over seasoned.

It comes with tempura!

Debbie ordered their curry katsu.

Mum and Nikki ordered their chicken teriyaki don.

And this is the best black sesame ice cream.

BEST.

I've tried many, but their's is still the best.

And the best part is that they didn't charge us the ice cream :D

The Apartment @ The Curve

A typical day out with my family 

and we decided to have lunch at The Apartment.

This isn't our first time here, btw.

I decided to order their BLT guacamole sandwich

with their lemonade and I was pretty happy with my lunch.

Everything was just right.

Nikki ordered roasted chicken sandwich and she didn't liked it at all.

I didn't try it to find out why, because I was full from finishing my own meal.

I'm sorry for suggesting you this.

Mum had their ayam percik and when it arrived, 

everyone just stared at the rice.

Mum said it was good, maybe because she was hungry.

She liked the coconut milk sauce (the orange one) served with it though.

And the red chilli sauce was spicy and sour, most likely to be TOO spicy for me. 

Debbie had their fish & chips and she claimed that it was a little over-seasoned.

Mum said that "It's like that." 

Btw, that's apple-slaw and it wasn't nice. 

Special, but nope.

Lastly, dad's rendang tok.

He finished it, like usual and he didn't give any comment.

Oh well.

We wanted to go for dessert, 

I wanted to try their eton mess, but I was too full.

Chinoz on the park.

Now playing: Somebody To You ft. Demi Lovato - The Vamps

Chinoz on the park.

We (mum, her friends and me).

I wanted to have their breakfast bar, but it's almost 11am 

and they said the bar will be closed so I picked something else.

I ordered something called Eggs and Hash, I think. 

But I couldn't recall.

I changed their poached eggs to over easy because of my preference.

Their "hash" is basically a potato patty with beef bacon bites in it.

I enjoyed my breakfast,

but I'm upset with the portion.

It's rather small, as you can see, even though the tea was provided.

My mum's was even more disappointing because they serve only one toast.

It's not even a big slice of toast, mind you.

Honestly, it's not worth the price.

They stayed and continue to talk and catch up (like usual),

and it was almost lunch time.

We were still rather full, 

since we had our breakfast around 11am.

I ordered their Pumpkin Parmesan Gnocchi for us to share.

I had this before, the first time I dined there with my family.

I remembered that it was rather nice, but of course the portion was small.

This time, it came out nice as well.

But I was a little disappointed with the gnocchi itself.

It wasn't as chewy as I thought it would be, lack of flour.

However, it was sweet and soft, just like a cube of steamed pumpkin.

Mum loved the colour combo.

Well-played, kitchen crew.

Everything was fine, but I was just generally disappointed with the pasta itself.

And they ordered their nachos.

Their tortilla chips was a let-down.

It wasn't crispy, and the cheese got a bunch of the chips stuck together.

Their dips were alright.

But if you ask me, I would rather go upstairs and queue in front of Chili's 

to get their warm and bottomless tostada chips.
