Valentine's Day Food Hunt: Garden Lifestyle Store & Cafe, 1 Utama

Hello everyone,

Today is Saturday and it's a week shy of Valentine's Day. It was a wonderful day perhaps for us because both ME and Kimmy decided to celebrate this year's Valentine's Day a week earlier since next week is Chinese New Year already as I will be out of town. So, I have decided to bring her to 1 Utama yet again to try out a concept restaurant located at the new wing here. It's inside the VOIR concept store and this restaurant is owned by them as well. It was a cozy and romantic restaurant just for everyone here as it was filled with a garden themed restaurant. Kimmy & I was very impressed with the decorations here and I would love to come back again for dining. We reach there around 8.15pm and have to wait about 15 minutes to be seated because that time, there were a lot of people in the restaurant. Once we sat down on the chair, the waiter immedietely bring us the menu and the service was great too. I would rate good for their service and the waiter know how to makes jokes to us as well. Lovely!


We looked at the menu and finally we have decided what to eat and order because there are actually not much variety to choose from. Although they did serve a lot of category of food but the food choices are pretty limited as well. I've ordered Speghetti Marinara (RM17.90) and a teapot of Green Tea (RM5.90). Kimmy ordered Garden Black Pepper Chicken (RM17.90) and a teapot of Darjeeling Tea (RM5.90). We've also ordered Cream of H20 - Cress Soup (RM7.90) as our starter too. Let's go straight to the comments. For mune Speghetti Marinara, it was a totally wonderful. The taste is very nice as the seafood provided on the speghetti was very fresh indeed (prawns & oyster). The taste was just nice as it will be not too sour or too sweet. I love it very much and would give full marks for this one. A must try for this dish but the portion is just a little too small and perhaps not enough for you (guys). The Green Tea meanwhile was imported from England and the taste was just normal and nothing special about it. Kimmy's Garden Black Pepper Chicken was also not bad according to her. The taste was just nice as it was not too hot as well. I've tried some and I found out that the chicken meat was very fresh and pretty soft too. Once put in the mouth, it was nice and mouth watering too. The portion also pretty less and suitable for Kimmy. For the Deejarling Tea, it was much more better than mine Green Tea. The Deejarling Tea was also imported from England and it was much fragrant and was a bit bitter was well and it suits my taste. I would recommend you to try out Deejarling Tea compared to Green Tea if you are a tea lovers.

The Cream of H20 - Cress Soup meanwhile was very special indeed. Again I would like to stress that this soup is not very sweet nor not very tasteless as well and it was well cooked for its taste too. I am very impressed by the soup and I would recommend you to try out this soup as your starter. This soup also recommended by the chef of this restaurant. I love it as well as Kimmy too. We was happy enjoying the overall meal and we vowed to come back again for yet another visit some other time again. The price overall is pretty expensive with the portion of the food is pretty small too. But again I would like to say that if the food is good, then no matter how expensive it is, still worth paying it. The total of the food bill is RM61.05 (including tax) and for me it's very worth it. This year's Valentine's Day with Kimmy would be a special ones because we sat just next to the organ / piano and we manage to listen to so many romantic songs being played on that time. A lovely place to dine in and go have a try! No regrets! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
