My Comments: Today ME & Kimmy had a planned outing to catch this mouth watering epic action adventure movie called Godzilla. We catch this movie at TGV 1 Utama today. This movie talks about the battle between giant Godzilla and M.U.T.O ("Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism") where MUTO is actually a parasitic kaiju which is a multi legged monster. M.U.T.O. are actively drawn to sources of man-made radiation and to survive they need to eat the radiation. This movie actually talk about the battle of monsters and to show how the awe-inspiring Godzilla rises to restore balance as humanity stands defenseless. 

 

The graphics in this movie are superb and wonderful and if you watch this in 3D, then probably it's very suspense as well. The storyline is pretty simple and straight to the point and in my opinion, it's suitable for the kids to watch. It's not boring and you would like to find out what's going on and the battle continues but of course do not compare with Pacific Rim which Pacific Rim has more action compared to this one. From director Gareth Edwards, he has shown great enthusiasm to ensure that this movie does not only fight between human and monsters but monsters to monsters at least to make it real and to show that humanity could not overcome those mighty monsters in reality. 

 

Overall, it was a great suspense and action packed movie to catch for the whole family and I would recommend you to watch this movie. It's not boring from the start till the end of the movie. It's would be not the best but at least it's above average for the whole family. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5 

 

 

Food Hunt: Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant, Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today ME & Kimmy had visited another Korean Restaurant to try out the 'fry in a pan' style Korean food. I've tried this once at Kota Kemuning but then I've decided to bring Kimmy to try out the food but this time around, I've chosen Kota Damansara as our choice. We reached the restaurant at about 7.30pm and it was not so crowded. There are plenty of seats available for us to select and once we sat down, we were shown the menu.

There's only 1 selection that you can choose over here and that's the Dak-Galbi. What is Dak-Galbi? Dak-Galbi is a Korean 'fry in a pan' style with the mixture of fresh chicken chop, cabbage, sweet potato and rice cake that was then mixed together with the Korean Spicy Sauce and then it was fried into perfection at the huge pan located at each and every table. This is my 2nd and Kimmy's 1st time dining in a Uncle Jang. This is what we've ordered.

1.) Dak-Galbi Normal (RM19.00 per person) X 2
2.) Fried Rice (RM6.00)

The waiter then brings in the ingredients to be fried at the pan. It took him about 5-10 minutes to complete the whole cooking and frying process until it's hotly served. We ordered a 2 person portion and it's just nice for us to eat. After every ingredients is mixed and fried into perfection, it's time to eat. It was nice and tasty and this branch is better than the ones in Kota Kemuning in my opinion because it's less spicy. You will be given a few free tidbits such as fresh vegetables (to wrap together with the Dak-Galbi), Kimchi and a few slices of Onions. It's Free Of Charge. Please be noted that different branches offered different drinks where at this Kota Damansara Branch, they do offered free Cold Water but in Kota Kemuning they do not offer this service.

Kimmy and I enjoyed the Dak-Galbi but then Kimmy did complained as the Normal Flavour is very spicy and she cannot eat too much. Imagine if you ordered the Extra Spicy and you will get burned seriously. Be careful :) In my opinion, if it's too spicy, it will spoil the taste of the food. We've also ordered an additional dish which is the Fried Rice. When you finish almost 70% of the ingredients on the pan, then they will start to fry the rice together with the ingredients and when you eat together with the rice, it's more delicious and taste very good indeed. Remember, the rice is ordered separately with an additional charge. For more information, kindly take a look at the photos.

Vegetables, Kimchi, Chilli, Garlic

Dak-Galbi With Fried Rice

The price we pay is around RM46.65 (including a 6% Service Charge). For me I think the price is reasonable if the food price is nice. I have to admit the ingredients given is pretty cheap and they charge us very expensive but at least the food quality is there and you might not know that they imported some of the stuffs from Korea. Nice food with reasonable price is OK for me. I would recommend you to come over and try out this Dak-Galbi if you have not and enjoy a brand new experience of Korean Food. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Food Hunt: Tokyo Kitchen, Ativo Plaza, Bandar Sri Damansara, Kuala Lumpur

Hello All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt where today ME & Kimmy had visited another Japanese Restaurant and it's called Tokyo Kitchen situated at the newly open Ativo Plaza, Bandar Sri Damansara (at press time). Tokyo Kitchen has a few branches in the Klang Valley and to name a few at One City, Setia Walk, Berjaya Times Square etc. We've never tried before and therefore since today is a Public Holiday (Wesak Day), we planned to go for this restaurant for dinner.

We reach there restaurant at about 8.15pm and it was not too crowded but 70% of the seats being occupied. We browse through the menu and we found out that most of the price are pretty standard and I'm curious to know how's the portion of the food. There's also set menu for you to choose from and after consideration, we found out that the set menu is pretty much affordable and then contains many varieties of food for us to eat and to test out the food quality as well. This is what we've ordered:

1.) Chicken Teriyaki Don Set (RM26.80) + Free Green Tea
2.) Salmon Sashimi Set (RM28.80) + Free Green Tea

Upon ordering this set, it contains the main course, Chawanmushi, Salad, Tofu, Miso Soup, sushi's and many more depending on your set course. The Chicken Teriyaki Don Set contains the main course, Chawanmushi, Salad, Tofu, Miso Soup & 3 pieces of Sushi. The portion is really small and I would say it's really disappointing as well. The food is just nice and nothing special to shout about except the food is freshly prepared. If you are a big eater, do expect super small portion which will not satisfy your taste buds. Meanwhile the Salmon Sashimi Set contains the main course, Chawanmushi, Salad, Tofu, Miso Soup, Fresh Salmon Sashimi and a rice. The Salmon Sashimi is fresh, food portion is small and then the taste is just average with nothing special to shout about. There's also a free Green Tea included into the set and it's refillable.

Chicken Teriyaki Don Set Menu + Free Green Tea (RM26.80)

Salmon Sashimi Set Menu + Free Green Tea (RM28.80)

We pay RM61.15 including a 10% Service Charge Only. Initially the price is pretty expensive and then the food quality is just average and I would say it's totally not worth it. I would not recommend you try out the set menu as it's below my expectations and perhaps you can try out other food over here especially the ala-carte food. My recommendation to you is you can visit this restaurant to try out other food instead of the set menu which is below my expectations. Enjoy! MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5

Food Hunt: Betty's Midwest Kitchen, Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy are again out for another adventure to explore more good food and in the same time to satisfy our taste buds once again. This time around we have selected this American Food Restaurant called Betty's Midwest Kitchen located at Aman Suria in Petaling Jaya. We reached the restaurant at about 12.30pm and the restaurant is pretty crowded with people but there are still seats around. According to sources, when you dine in at night no matter it's a weekday or weekend, you have to wait for a long queue before being served and please also take note that they only allow you to sit on the table IF you came in a full group (if someone have not arrived, then they will not allow you to sit down).

We browse through the menu and this is what we've ordered. There are lots of choices of Western Food ranging from French Fries, Salad, Burgers, Pasta's and Main Course Chicken, Lamb Chops etc.

1.) Spaghetti Aglio Olio (RM18.00)
2.) Bacon Tomato Spaghetti (RM18.00)
3.) Dog Food (RM12.00)
4.) Ice Water (Free) ; Subsequent Refills: RM0.30 per glass ; RM1.50 per jar

We did not waited for very long for the food to arrive and it's fast too. The Dog Food came first. Many have been wondering what is actually Dog Food? Of course, this is not the food for dog but basically it's a special name for this dish as there's french fries covered with lots of mayonnaise and dressings served just like Dog Bowl and that's how the name came from. The Dog Food is absolutely tasty and wonderful. A must try when you are here. Next is the Spaghetti Aglio Olio which is just nice and normal with nothing special in it. The Bacon Tomato Spaghetti is a must try as it's very tasty and wonderful too. It has a very heavy tomato taste accompanied with garlic taste and it's very tasty. It covered most of the sourness of the tomatoes. Also a must ordered dish when you are here.

Bacon Tomato Spaghetti (RM18.00)

Aglio Olio Spaghetti (RM18.00)

Dog Food (RM12.00)

The bill came and it's pretty expensive with a small portion of the food overall. Basically it's not worth what we pay for but I still think the food is nice and once in a while dining in should be fine. We pay premium price for a small portion of spaghetti and Dog Food too. We pay RM52.80 including a 10% Service Charge. Anyway, when you are here, don't forget to try out other Western Food as well and I heard it's nice too especially the Lamb Shank, Chicken Chop as well as other food too. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
