Souper Tang ~ Midvalley Megamall & an announcement

LC and I hardly have Chinese food in malls as there’s always a better equivalent in a kopitiam or restaurant elsewhere. Souper Tang was an exception because soup rice dishes are quickly becoming extinct in the Klang Valley. If you know a good one, be sure to let me know!

Souper Tang’s impressive variety had us flipping the menu for quite awhile before deciding on a rice dish and a soup each.

Tryst ~ SS 15

Our search of good pancakes after the meal at Naughty Nuri’s brought us from Breadfruits in Sri Hartamas (who only serves their breakfast items till 5 pm) to Tryst in SS 15. This was based off a list of ‘Best Pancakes in KL & Subang’ that Ezel found online.

Tryst offers an al-fresco and indoor air-conditioned dining with shisha on the al-fresco side.

The quirky side to Tryst had rustic bookshelves, paintings on the wall with a graffiti touch and a lone mannequin in the middle of the cafe. I loved the magazine cutting covered staircase to their upper floor but missed a photo as it was dark.

Mitasu Japanese Restaurant ~ Central Plaza

The visit to Mitasu came rather unexpectedly as it was an appreciation dinner for volunteers for events organized by Comic Fiesta. Honestly, I have never heard of Mitasu till the day we were told it was our dinner location so imagine my amazement when it turned out to be a pork-free ala-carte Japanese buffet!

Other reviews can be found here, here and here.

Located at Central Plaza, the parking area is accessible via the service road between Menara Standard Chartered and Pavilion KL.

If you’re wondering where Central Plaza is, it’s the oddly shaped building with the striking purple hue along Jalan Bukit Bintang. Thank you Mitasu’s Facebook for the image.

And they’re located right at Central Plaza’s entrance. Thank you again Mitasu’s Facebook.

Naughty Nuri’s ~ Desa Sri Hartamas

20150926174359

Originating in Ubud, Bali, Naughty Nuri’s has grown beyond the mom and pop warung (Isnuri Suryatmi and her late American husband Brian Aldinger) to multiple branches in Indonesia and 2 branches in Malaysia – Desa Sri Hartamas and Burmah Road in Penang. Famous for its grilled pork ribs, I knew it was a matter of time that I end up here, given that my pork consumption has gone up a little recently.

A cute image tickles your funny bone as you make your way to its entrance.

Soft serve ice-cream at softsrve ~ Damansara Uptown

Softsrve, a cute wordplay on soft serve ice-cream is one of the newest ice-cream joints in town (about 6 months old at the point this post was written) and our visit was prompted by Ezel (yes, Deliciouslogy’s MIA co-owner) quite recently.

softsrve is located at the same row as Texas Chicken in Damansara Uptown towards the center of the row.

Whimsical Gelataria ~ Solaris Dutamas & every sundae by cielo dolci ~ Damansara Uptown

It is no secret that my favorite gelato is cielo dolci and that I was super sad when they moved away from Paradigm Mall. How do I get my gelato fix then? 😦

With that thought in mind, I actually had cielo dolci gelato twice in one day.  Entirely by accident, of course.

The first dose was at whimsical gelataria & caffe at Solaris Dutamas. We planned for a brunch and gelato visit.

Dah Makan Lunch Box

Curiosity killed the cat again as I gingerly placed my order for a lunch box delivery from Dah Makan. My last experience with Happy Time Kitchen Lunch Box was less than satisfactory but my confidence to order with Dah Makan was backed up by pretty solid reviews from Eat Drink KL, Health Works and Jewel Pie.

My order arrived at 12.13 noon and the vibrant packaging actually got me a little excited at opening the box.

Nutty Coco Coconut Ice Cream ~ Ikano Power Centre

Coconut, a common fruit in Malaysia, has only recently experienced a boom in popularity as ice-cream. All of a sudden, everyone wants a piece of it – the most popular brands being Sangkaya and Nutty Coco. I’m a big fan of Sangkaya so every time I get my hands on it, it’s usually consumed quickly without much thought.

However, this is a review for Nutty Coco with claims of being the Original Chatuchak Coconut Ice-cream and nothing screams ‘You Must Try Me!’ like a claim to be the original treat from the streets of Bangkok.

Unlike Sangkaya, Nutty Coco comes in array of combinations from the classics to the downright outrageous.

A Porkylicious Meal at El Cerdo ~ Changkat Bukit Bintang

We have finally made it to El Cerdo – partially due to this convenient Groupon voucher which offered a RM100 voucher for the price of RM60. LC had been singing praises about the amazing pork that they serve so we were really looking forward to this.

The restaurant was quaint with lots of adorable pig paraphernalia to the extent of cute takeaway paper bags with smiling piglets.

To start off – some bread with smoked ham pate. The fragrant paste with a herb undertone was a surprise for all of us. Rich and tasty, it was a good match with bread. The bread however, would have been better toasted.

East Awkwardly Meets West at Melur & Thyme ~ Nu Sentral

Melur & Thyme was first and foremost an intriguing and catchy name that instantly tells you that they’re a fusion restaurant. Aiming to celebrate nostalgia, bringing East and West, Old and New together, the menu is a combination of the rather traditional Malaysian Melur and the Thyme twist of the west.

It is located next to Sangkaya on the highest floor at Nu Sentral.
