Food Hunt: Menya Musashi Restaurant (Isetan 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya)

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy is at 1 Utama Shopping Centre for some shopping and in the same time we had our dinner there. We have chosen this restaurant that was recommended by my friend and the restaurant name is called Menya Musashi Restaurant located inside Isetan 1 Utama (inside Eat Paradise 2nd Floor). We reached the restaurant at about 7.30pm and it was pack and full. We waited for about 15 minutes before we found our seat.
Once we sat down, we browse through the menu and this is what we've ordered:

1.) Ki Musashi (RM26.00)
2.) Miso Shiro Ramen (RM27.00)
3.) Green Tea X 2 (RM2.00 each)

We waited for about 10 minutes and then the food arrived. The service is good and fast although it's packed. This restaurant is famous for its Ramen and without any hesitation, we ordered and try it out. The Ki Musashi Ramen is a must try when you reach this restaurant. This Ramen Noodle is served with mild spicy broth and it comes with a few pieces of pork slices, an egg and some vegetables as well. The broth is superb and the Ramen is nice too. Meanwhile for Miso Shiro Ramen, it was just so-so and the broth served is not as nice as the Ki Musashi Ramen.

Ki Musashi (RM26.00)

Miso Shiro Ramen (RM27.00)

Green Tea (RM2.00)

We paid for about RM66.10 for this meal together with an additional 10% Service Charge and 6% Government Tax. It was superbly expensive based on the portion we get and the price. Overall, we do enjoy the meal over here but it's pricey. Enjoy the food! RECOMMENDATION: YES ; RATING: 4/5

Food Hunt: Betty's Midwest Kitchen, Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya (Part 2)

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy had planned over to Betty's Midwest Kitchen and it's Kimmy's birthday. This is our 2nd visit here since our last visit on May 1st 2014. Today we try other menu at the restaurant and we do expect the main course to be tasty. This is what we've ordered:

1.) Beer Boston Butt (RM33.90)
2.) Baby Back Rib (RM37.90)
3.) Stewant's Root Beer (RM7.00)
4.) Hot Lemon Tea (RM5.00)

We reached the restaurant at about 1.00pm and the crowd was not as much as during dinner time. We only waited for about 10 minutes and the food finally arrives. We share among the food to try out which is the best. The Beer Boston Butt steak is simply fantastic. The sauce is nice (sauce tastes like Chinese Pork Sauce) and the pork meat is soft and it's nearly into perfection. It also comes with mashed potatoes, green beans and 2 slices of carrot. This is one of the best Pork steak that I ever try before in my entire life. Super recommended to order it. Next up is the Baby Back Rib. This is also another super recommended steak to order. The ribs are grilled into perfection and it tastes marvelous. It also comes with french fries and salad. Both of these dishes has its own delicious taste and then the portion is big and it's worth the price we are paying.

Stewant's Root Beer (RM7.00) + Hot Lemon Tea (RM5.00)

About the drinks, another must try item at Betty's Midwest Kitchen would be the Stewant's Root Beer. It's 100% originally imported from USA. It tastes much better than A&W Root Beer and it's of course a premium Root Beer as well. You should try it. The Hot Lemon Tea meanwhile is just normal and nothing special to shout about.

Baby Back Rib (RM37.90)

Beer Boston Butt (RM33.90)

For the price of about RM92.20 (inclusive of 10% Service Charge), we do have a wonderful and fantastic meal and I would never forget about it. The price is reasonable for the portion and the taste. No doubt about it, you MUST come over and try out their steaks over here especially the ones I recommended on this post. Totally worth the money and time spent here. Enjoy your food! MY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT) ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT)

Food Hunt: Taste Of Italy Set, Pizza Hut

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today ME & Kimmy had planned for a special outing to try out the latest pizza hut menu that was being introduced recently. It's called the Taste Of Italy. This pizza can be ordered via ala-carte or by set. This is what we've ordered:

Signature Course (RM32.90)

- 1 Taste Of Italy Pizza
- 1 Taste Of Italy Pasta
- 1 Italiano Bruschetta
- 2 Glasses Of Pepsi

Add Ons: Soup-Of-The-Day (RM2.00)

It's just nice for 2 persons based on this set and there's one more set and that's called the Ultimate Course which can be served up to 4 persons.  The choices of Pizza that we have chosen includes the Romano Chicken Pizza. The choices of Italy Pasta that we have chosen would be Pesto Chicken Spaghetti. I would say the whole meal had been very satisfying and we do enjoy the pizza there as well. The Romano Chicken Pizza is a must try as the portion is just nice and the taste was nice and tasty. The Romano Chicken Pizza contains chicken roll florets, chicken toppings, Italian Cheese, red capsicum, yellow onion, tomato pizza sauce, spinach and garlic and it will definitely makes you drool. The Pesto Chicken Spaghetti meanwhile is also a must try where it's nice and tasty too. The Pasta is then green in color and it contains Pesto Sauce Spaghetti, tender chicken, cherry tomatoes, roasted onions, chopped garlic, red capsicum, chilli flakes and chopped parsley.

 The Italian Bruschetta is also a must try as the bread is very nice especially when you dip into the salsa tomato sauce. It contains cheesy garlic bread, twin sauce: tangy tomato sauce & pesto sauce and it's served with tomato salsa. It was a fantastic and satisfying meal for both of us and we vowed to try other flavors when we visited Pizza Hut again. There's an option to add RM2 for the Soup-Of-The-Day but we did not ordered. I guess worth a try as well.

The price (including a 10% Service Charge & Government Tax of 6%) is around RM38.15 and I think the meal had been very satisfying too. I would strongly recommend you to come over to any Pizza Hut branches to try out the Taste Of Italy from Pizza Hut. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Food Hunt: Chilli Pan Mee, Bandar Manjarala

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt and today ME & Kimmy had visited Chilli Pan Mee situated at Bandar Manjarala to try out their famous Chilli Pan Mee over there. We have not tried before and therefore would like to give it a try.

We reached the restaurant around 2.00pm and there are still plenty of places for us to sit. The seats are divided into 2 which is the air-conditioned and non air-conditioned. We manage to get an air-conditioned seats and then we were then served by a friendly staff over there. We browse through the menu and then have wide selection of the Pan Mee besides its famous Chilli Pan Mee such as Black Pepper, ABC Soup, Braised Pan Mee to name a few etc. This is what we've ordered:

1.) Chilli Pan Mee (RM6.00) (Small)
2.) Curry Chicken Pan Mee (RM7.00) (Big)
3.) Luncheon Meat (RM4.00) (2 pieces)
3.) Chrysanthemum Herbal Tea (RM1.50)
4.) Coca-Cola (RM2.20)

We waited for about 10 minutes and finally the food arrive. The Luncheon Meat came first and we have our very first taste of the luncheon meat. It's super and absolutely tasty and you should order this when you dine in this restaurant. The portion of the luncheon meat is average size. Meanwhile the Chilli Pan Mee arrives next and according to Kimmy, she said that it's tasty and the pan mee is really springy and nice to eat too. The Curry Chicken Pan Mee is the one I've ordered and I love the taste too as it's very tasty as well. For drinks, the taste is normal and nothing much to shout about.

Chilli Pan Mee (RM6.00)

The price is very reasonable and cheap too and total bill is RM20.70. We get to eat lots of food and we pay a cheap price as well. The servings is pretty average and just nice too. Most importantly is that the food we've ordered is nice and tasty. Both of us would strongly recommend you to come over here to try out their Pan Mee and hope you'll enjoy the food here as well.

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.

Dak-Galbi (Before Fry)

Vegetables, Kimchi, Chilli, Garlic

Dak-Galbi (After Fried)

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!

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!

Food Hunt: My Elephant Thai Restaurant, Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy planned to spend a relax and enjoying weekend and first of all we also would like to ensure that our lunch would be something nice and favorable. We kicked off our lunch break with a luxury meal which is the My Elephant Thai Restaurant situated at Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya. We reached the restaurant at about 2.00pm and the restaurant is less crowded because it's going to closed for business at 2.30pm for lunch break. We sat down and then we were shown for the menu and this is what we've ordered.

1.) MyElephant Seafood Tom Yam (Super Spicy) (RM20.00) (2 pax)
2.) Green Curry Chicken (RM19.00) (2 pax)
3.) Belacan Paku Vegetables (RM15.00) (2 pax)
4.) Iced Water X2 (RM1.00 each)
5.) Brown Rice (Per Bowl) (RM3.00) ; Add-On Rice (RM3.00) (Per Bowl)

Ice Water with Lemon (RM1.00)

We the food did not take very long to arrive and let's go straight to the food reviews. The reason why we are here is because many bloggers recommended this restaurant for their good food and the good service is totally true and worth to try. The MyElephant Seafood Tom Yam (Super Spicy) is nice and it has a very different taste from other Thai Restaurant that I've ever tried. The fragrance of the Tom Yam came from the heavy presence of the Basil Leaves and then followed by the spicy flavor. It's pretty spicy and it's wonderful. The Green Curry Chicken is also a must try at My Elephant. The green curry gravy is nice and tasty. The Chicken is fresh and nice to chew too. Meanwhile the Belacan Paku Vegetables is also a must try at this restaurant where it's tasty and it's fried with Belacan. Last but not least is the Brown Rice which it came as per bowl. The brown rice is a healthy rice and you should try it. If it's not enough then you can add on another bowl for another round of charge.

MyElephant Seafood Tom Yum (RM20.00)

Green Curry Chicken (RM19.00)

Brown Rice (RM3.00)

Paku Vegetables (RM15.00)

Overall the price we pay is a premium price of RM67.10 plus a 10% Service Charge. The portion of the food is really small for 2 pax and it's very expensive indeed. But once in a while, it's worth a try because the food is nice. I would still strongly recommend you to come over here to try out the food and I will ensure you will have a wonderful lunch or dinner here. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5
