One Utama Old Wing - Porridge Time  

Sometime i m craving for some light and HOT food in the morning, is anyone same like me? Some hot food/soup/drinks like porridge/western soup - mushroom soup, potato and leek soup, pumpkin soup/chinese dessert soup - bean-curd barley soup, sweet wheat porridge/healthy drinks - cereal milk drinks, soya bean

So, yea we came to Porridge Time at One Utama old wing (LG113A). There are some restaurant and kiosks around Porridge Time such as, Hot & Roll, Yong Tau Foo Eat and Happy, Bisou Bake Shop, Crazy Potato, Ninja Joe, Moo Cow Frozen Yogurt, Ko Hyang Korean Country Delights etc.
 

yuhoooo - noob face bf =P

Porridge Time

Porridge??!! maybe some of u think tat porridge is only for those who are feeling sick or who unable to shew well. hahahahha. But i m strongly disagree with it. I always hope to hav a big bowl of hot porridge especially in the winter time when i was studying oversea.

Porridge Time restaurant is small and no design for the interior. But they are always full house and busy during the break time. =D What so nice about it? Why people willing to Q up n wait for seat? Coz, not only the food there is yummy yet big portion with very reasonable price!!!! They serve piping hot porridge in claypot with ginger, spring onion and sesame oil. There are many 10 varieties of porridge. fish, seafood, pork, prawn, farm frog, chicken etc You can also order some side dishes to add into the porridge to make it more delicious - egg, century egg, salted egg, you tiao, seaweed, peanut etc Beside that, they hav dry noodle, claypot farm frog with kong pou style, fish cake, herbal braise chicken, steamed vege, tong sui etc.

*Tips - Free plain porridge if u order a claypot kong pou farm frog.

Fish Porridge ($7.50) and You Tiao ($1.40)

Normally i will order the fish porridge with extra century egg, ginger and spring onion on side. And my bf will go for the pork porridge without ginger and spring onion but add an egg to enhance the thickness of the porridge. I know tat porridge with extra egg is more yummy instead of century egg but im greedy to hav both. ><" century egg with ginger is yum. And You Tiao is always one of the good companion for porridge, they go well together =) Ohya, me and my bf never forget to add some pepper and sesame oil into the porridge too. (u can do it if u want to get the taste stronger)

*Tips - Seaweed prepare by myself when i go to Porridge Time. coz i love seaweed and the seaweed they serve is not enough for me. =P =P

I feel satisfy after it. Although it juz a very simple breakfast. And i remember the very fist time i visited to this restaurant was with my BFF during her break time. hahahahahaha. We were sharing a pot of seafood porridge =D Between, Porridge Time has 6 outlets, including One u outlet. The others are in ss2 mall, Setia City Mall, Sungai Besi, Southgate, Asian Avenue in Sunway Pyramid.

Currently, it has six outlets, including the One Utama outlet.

Ante Kitchen & Bar, Publika

Super duper late dinner a k a supper at Ante Kitchen with my bf last Saturday. I wanted to try this restaurant long time ago and FINALLY!! I got the chance to try their food, even though I always go Publika (like 3-4 times per week) LOL =P

Yea, reached Publika around 9pm. Was thinking to dine at Red Bean Bag or Ante Kitchen. After a short discussion with my bf, we chose Ante Kitchen since we have edi tried out 80% of the food at RBB. hehehehhehe. and YEA, we made the right decision =D =D

Ante Kitchen & Bar - Facade 

 *images copied from internet*

Ante Kitchen & Bar is located at Solaris Dutamas, facing out to the Jalan Dutamas 1. It is a mid-corner shop lot, same row with Papparich, in between of a mamak store and a steamboat restaurant. Ohya, there is a car parking entrance right beside it.=))

 

Ante Kitchen & Bar - Deco

 *images copied from internet*

Simply like the interior design of Ante Kitchen & Bar - Contemporary European as the concept. Beside tat, I noticed there are some cute piggy found in this bistro as the decoration. 

 MENU

OHYA, they are famous in serving pork dishes. As u can see from the menu, most of the dishes are PORK - pork cutlet salad, crispy pork trotter salad, enoki bacon skewers, the hot dog, sweeet belly, up the ante pork burger, bbq pork sandwich, crispy pork knuckle, the hogger pork ribs, sausage-combi, angry piglets, shhh listen (pork ear) 

 Seafood Marinara ($38)

Honestly, I don't like pork. And, because I'm sharing the foods with my bf, so he has to order something other than PORK. =P SORRY,  hehehehehe *u can try their pork for the next visit ya or when i don't want to share the food with u. HOHOHOHO. so Yea, we had Seafood Marinara as our main dish. And also, broccoli cream soup and cod crab mash for the starters.

Cod Crab Mash ($18)

 *images copied from internet*

Cod Crab Mash is served in a hotpot. A combination of minced cod and crab meat, mixed in creamy mashed potatoes covered in cheese gratin. It is very cheesy and thick in flavor for me. Overall, it taste good, worth to try. the only let down is, i hardly find the cod fish in it.

Broccoli cream soup - a light but thick, tasty but healthy broccoli soup. i love broccoli, but i cant taste any of the broccoli in this soup. So, for those who r afraid to vege taste, juz be brave and order it ^^ haha

 Spot the BIG prawn

*images copied from internet*

 

Wow!!BIG BIG prawn!!! i was so excited when the food is served. Coz my bf doesn't like prawn and mussel, so obviously i m the one who is going to have them. hehehehe =D Seafood Marina served with fresh river prawn, squid, green mussels and clams and some rocket. It is cooked in herbed tomato puree. My bf enjoyed the meal so much coz he say the noodle is rich of seafood flavor and combined well with the marinara sauce. U won't stop until it is finished once u have started eating it xD

Before leaving, we had a short talk with the chef. The chef recommend some foods to us, such as Wild Fungi Salad for the salad, The Hot dog, ***The Real Bacon Carbonara (MUST TRY!! - according to the chef, he STRONGLY RECOMMENDED it), Curry Cream Pasta (My bf is super curious about this dish),and also Up the Ante Pork Burger So, we ll definitely go back to try the others food for sure as we promised to the chef =P =P

The Brew culture, Plaza Damas

After had my super late brunch at three little pig and a big bad wolf (will blog about it soon), me and my bf headed to The Brew Culture, Plaza Damas 3 for coffee. I've heard about this cafe from some bloggers and the interior is different compare to others. It is more to like 'Taiwanese' style cafe. homey homey yet cute.^^

Wall Art - yellow big fat Bunny

As you can see from the photo above, a cute cartoon art on the wall ^^ hehehehehe. looks like a kindergarten isnt it? CUTE. The deco of this cafe is simple and eco-friendly, with the concept of 3R - which are reuse, recycle, reduce. One of the example - reusing the milk carton for the hanging light. One thing special about this cafe is the ''CHOP CHOP''. What is ''chop chop''?? google it!!! hahahha just kidding. =P Basically,  ''Chop Chop'' is an app from smart phone that allow the users to collect "chop stamp" (e.g, Buy 10 free 1 thingy) via scanning the QR code from the cafe. The owner of the cafe share with us that the concept of using this app is to avoid their customer losing the traditional "chop stamp" card. And i think it is another example of eco-friendly concept.

.

Cafe Latte ($8)

The coffee is good. me and my bf like the coffee here. The owner suggested us to make it double shot of the espresso to our latte if u prefer a strong taste of the coffee rather than milk. Other than coffee, The Brew Culture Cafe serve varieties of beverages. such as green tea cow juice, smoothies, juices, ice blended drinks...etc. And of coz some desserts =)) - tiramisu ($8.90), lemon cheese cake ($6.90) and some cookies ($4.50) each. we were so full so we didnt order any dessert.

xxx and Cafe Latte ($8)

Guess what is in the picture? I will tell u guys in the next post =D It is something interesting & new, and it is my first time trying it! =D =D juz guess  *nodded nodded* =D =D

Kaffa Espresso Bar

Hi, good ''morning" everyone. Guess wat, i had my first meal at 330pm again. U guys might think tat i m so lazy and woke up late. In fact, i wake up at 8-9am everyday. hehehe. Lets back to the topic.

 Facade of Kaffa Espresso Bar

Interior of Kaffa Espresso Bar

i believe some of u hav seen the photos i uploaded in Facebook and Instagram just 1 hour before. YEA, i m still sitting here with a cup of cafe latte and blogging about this cafe now. Kaffa Espresso Bar is located at Jalan ss21/37, Damansara Utama, PJ (uptown)

Entrance a k a outdoor seats

Graphic wall art

i love the interior design of Kaffa Espresso Bar, so the first thing i did once i came in -snapped snapped snapped & Snapped.=D =D (instead of of looking at the menu n order food). The concept of this cafe is more to graphic style as u can easily spot an art on the wall at the back once u enter. The lighting effect is the most important point to create the cosy environment. Playing some jazz music. OHYA!!! feel so relaxing and comfortable =D =D =D  isnt it? hehehehhe

 Deco in the cafe

  i spotted u! - cute Deco

OK, i should talk more about the food and coffee now. Not much choices of food here. They only serve something light such as sandwiches & burgers, salads, soups, and pasta. And there are only few items under the categories. U guys can juz check from the images below =D =D

Kaffa Espresso Bar Menu

What we hav ordered? =)) Curried Egg Tea Sandwich , Greek Island Salad with Chicken & Avocado, Mushroom Cappuccino. Mushroom Cappucino??!! yea!!! it is actually a soup ^^ soup in a big mug with nutmeg powder on top. i personally like the mushroom soup, coz of the nutmeg taste. Curried sandwich -plain croissant instead of toast,  serve together with hearty mashed potato and salad. Beside tat, greek salad is nothing special to talk about, but!! for ur health, juz eat more vege =P =P and it serve with big portion.

Curried Egg Tea Sandwich & Greek Island Salad

Curried Egg Tea Sandwich ($15.90). Kaffa's special egg mayo marinated with curry powder and a tinge of orange zing! Happily served with two sides of creamilicious mashed potatoes and salad!

Greek Island Salad with Chicken & Avocado ($16.90). A combination of green vegetables, tomatoes, black olives and cubed feta cheese. Topped with slices of lean chicken meat and avocado and sprinkles of oregano and extra virgin lemon oil.

Mushroom Cappucino ($12.90)

I used to order coffee after meal. A cup of Cafe latte ($10). The coffee here is not as nice as i expect. I didnt show the photo of my cafe latte. hehehehe. coz it looks lonely in the photo. Between, Kaffa Espresso Bar offers 10% off their coffee if you bring your own tumbler =)

I will come back to Kaffa Espresso Bar again for sure, coz of the homey environment and atmosphere here instead of the food and coffee =P =P

Kaffe Cafe @ TTDI

After brunch at Antipodean, Menara Tan & Tan, we were thinking to try out some new coffee place. So, here we came to TTDI. There are some nice cafe for coffee such as Mukha, Artisan Roast and Kaffe Cafe. We have visited to Mukha and Artisan Roast before except Kaffe Cafe, and so it became our choice for today.

Cappuccino 

Kaffe cafe has a very simple interior decoration. Its is a very quiet place and I believe it is a good choice for those who want to study or work. They do not just serve coffee here; cakes and foods are available here also. Various of coffee that u can try here, such as some flavor Latte - Hazelnut,  Caramel, Irish, Green Tea etc. We ordered a cappuccino as usual.

Alexis @ BSC

Today I'm going to blog about Alexis. I used to go Alexis @ The Garden but never tried others branch. So, I went to BSC Alexis for dinner with my bf. Alexis is one of the few that offers the most pleasurable contemporary dining and entertainment experiences to be found in Kuala Lumpur. 

 Interior of Alexis @ BSC

U'll find stylish, warm, award-winning interiors; inventive cuisine of the highest quality co-existing with superbly executed loca delicacies; famously delicious home-made cakes; impeccable service; and the finest music in town! (copied from internet) =P

 Red Miso Cod ($58)

Red Miso Cod - pan seared with red miso, toasted roma tomatoes and haricot vert. This is the most delicious Cod fish that I've ever had!!I can't stop eating it after my first bite. At the same time I enjoyed  the freshness of the fish and it is not oily at all. Simply perfect! A must-try dish!

 Soup of the day ($17)

Rocket with Cheese Croquette

Spaghetti Seafood ($40)

I like rocket salad. Many people don't like it coz it is strong in taste. This salad contains nuts, and come with a cheese croquette. The cheese croquette is brilliant and my bf love it very much. Just imagine, take a bite on it and the cheese will just flow into ur mouth. It is crunchy at the surface and juicy warm cheesy inside. We also ordered a bowl of soup as usual - potato and leek soup. For the pasta, we chose the spaghetti seafood. It is cooked with rich tomato sauce and hearty seafood. Seafood lover like me will definitely enjoy it well.

Cappuccino ($11.50)

We wanted to order Tiramisu cake as dessert but my bf doesn't really like cakes and we were too full after finished all the foods. So, we order a cup of hot Cappuccino to share. Good environment, good food, and good service that u can expect from here. We enjoyed our dinner in Alexis BSC =D

Plan B @ Publika Solaris Dutamas

Wake up in the morning with the feel of having eggs as my breakfast, the first choice in my head appeared to be Plan B =D And also, thinking to get some ingredients of making a Mille crepe for my friend's birthday tonight, here I  return to Publika again.

I believe most of u should have heard about Plan B coz they have many brunches in KL - Publika, Bangsar Village 1, One Utama and Midvalley. Plan B is one of the brand under BIG group. They serve western foods as main, and also some Asian foods as minor. I like their interior - the lighting and the wooden furniture create a homey atmosphere. Of course, they are well-known of the quality of the foods & services with reasonable price.

Eggs Any Style on Toast  (v) $8

Latte $8 

Eggs Any Style (v-vegetarian) can be poached, fried, scrambled or soft-boiled, served with country white toast. Today, I have them scrambled. Normally I will order a soup together with it, and it always happened to be mushroom soup =P But, I decided to get a hot Latte instead of soup. I'm surprised and excited when the coffee is served. OMG it is a tiger Latte art!! How did the barista know that I like tiger print!! =D lovely Latte! <3 <3 <3 

Chicken Burger (n) $24

And my bf ordered a chicken burger (n-contains nuts) - layered with herb mayo, turkey bacon crisps, tomato, butterhead lettuce & avocado-feta mash, served with home-made chips. As u can see from the pictures, my dish is actually very simple - just scramble eggs on toast. BUT!! because that I love avocado and salad so much, my bf gave me the avocado-feta mash and the side salad. Between, I gave him some of my scrambled eggs to make the burger more delicious. Ngek Ngek =D =D Both of us are satisfied with our foods because we got what we want at the end =') Sharing always the best!!

We left Publika after I got all the ingredients needed for Mille Crepe. I decided to make a Nutella Banana Mille Crepe for tonight. This is my first time to make a Mille Crepe. It took me about one and half hour to get it done. Hopefully my friends will like it =D

Rushing to the birthday party after badminton session

I had an enjoyable Wednesday with my bf and high schoolmates =) And Plan B is always a good choice for brunch, and also dinner! I am a regular customer to Plan B, visiting them twice a week averagely. I will blog more about Plan B - to be continued =P

Expresso Lab 

It is a normal Tuesday and I believe everyone is getting back to work or school coz the CNY holiday is finished. BUT!!!!!!!!! I'm so lucky that my holiday still going on and never end hohohoho =D *devil smile* 

So, I decided to meet up with my bestie - Siow Si in such a nice day :) We meet up in Midvalley for movie 'Together', and we pick the couple seat. Surprisingly, this is my first movie date with Siow Si! Moreover, both of us dress up in same style - jumper casual wear. 

The movie was about love story and it is boring actually. I've been focusing on the fashion style of the characters in the movie instead of the story line =P All the female in this movie are pretty, especially the 'girl god' of many - Angelababy!! I love her dressing style and fashion so much in this movie！

Cafe latte and the green tea mille crepe

The feeling is really good to have a cup of hot coffee during a raining day 

We did some shopping after movie, as usual =D Siow Si left here around 4.30 pm to avoid the traffic, and then my bf came to meet me after work. We tried Expresso Lab this time, right on the sky bridge between Midvalley and The Garden. We ordered a cup of hot Latte and a slice of green tea Mille crepe. The coffee is good, and the Mille crepe is kinda special coz it contains red bean, so we have something to bite with =D Unlike others, the Mille crepe served here is not over sweetened. I think I will try out the others flavour of Mille crepe in the future!

yee shang

After coffee session, we join the family dinner in Extra Super Tanker in TTDI. It is Chor 10 today but we still lou sang in the family dinner!! Yeahh!! I love lou sang so much!! Everyone enjoyed the dinner, with laughter, smiles and happiness written on their face =D I hope we will have this kind of dinner always ^^

Antipodean Menara Tan  & Tan

Went back to my hometown - Sekinchan for CNY last week. And ohya, obviously there is no western breakfast in kampung. =P So, me and my bf headed to Antipodean T&T this morning coz I can wait no more! =D As i mention in the previous blog, Antipodean T&T is not busy compare to the one in Bangsar. Unlike Bangsar, It is easy to get a car park here, just head down to the car park in the building. ( 1 hour plus took us RM4.60)

Surprisingly, they have more choices here - Egg Benedict w/ bacon, Egg Marlborough w/ Salmon, Carbonara etc that u can never find in Bangsar brunch.

Cappuccino ($8)

French Fries ($7)

As first, we wanted to order Smoke Salmon Omelette and Egg Benedict for myself. After a short discussion, we agree that we should try out the new dish in here. ended up ordering Egg Marlborough w/ Salmon and Smoke Salmon w/ Roasted Vege and Chickpeas Salad. 

Egg Marlborough w/ Salmon ($22)

 Smoke Salmon w/ Roasted Vege and Chickpeas Salad ($25) 

The Egg Marlborough served with 2 eggs on multigrain toast, with rich of hollandise sauce and salads on side. It is really really really yummy!! Unmissable!! I will definitely come back for it again =D The weird thing is we can't tell what is the style of the eggs. Hard boiled eggs or Poached eggs? I guess its the middle of both hahahahah. The yolk is juicy but the egg white is smooth yet solid like hard boiled egg. =P 

The Smoke Salmon w/ Roasted Vege and Chickpeas Salad is a good choice for health carer. Overall, I think it is a good combination because u can find various taste in this dish. The smoke salmon is salty, Chickpeas are sour, and roasted vege are mild that balance off the heavy taste.

Comparing the two branches, the quality&quantity of foods and the service of the crews are same in both branches. However, I would say that I prefer this branch. The major reasons are convenience - needless to wait for seats and car park, and so I can enjoy my coffee slowly without the queue waiting for me to leave. =P

DISH - weekend tapas brunch

I found this restaurant from bloggers and their pictures capture my eyes immediately. DISH is located at Dua Annexe, Jalan Tun Razak. The buffet starts from 12pm-3pm and the last call will be at 2.30pm every weekend. The price would be RM99++  per adult including juices, coffee and tea OR alcoholic brunch at RM179++ including Tiger beer, red, white, sparkling wines and juices. Kids from 6 - 12 years old will be charged at RM49++

What so special about the restaurant? First, it is not like the normal buffet which u can see the food prepared in trays - u'll order the food from a menu list. However, u can only repeat order for the same dish for three time. Second, all the food served here is in bite size portion and they have 35 items in the menu list. So, I decided to bring my boyfie to here because he likes eggs dishes and he can really eat quite a lot =P =P

TIPS - Bring more friends with u or someone who can really eat a lot so u can try everything out! =D =D

This is the menu list where u place ur order from here.

They serve really tasty bread here. Crispy bread skin while the bread itself is loose in structure - and it is warm when they are served. Personally I like this bread very much =D =D 

Since we aim to try everything out in the menu, we start ordering from top to bottom. This is the Curried French Onion with Gruyere soup (left) and Pea soup with Mascarpone. The pea soup taste good =))

These are the dishes categories under 'Organic eggs', 'Croquettes' and 'Salads'.

I like the Dish Caesar (the left top) and Chopped Salad (the left bottom)!! My boyfie enjoyed the croquettes so much and he recommended u guys to choose the 'mix of all three', which is the combination of Turkey Ham and Mozzarella, Mushroom and rosemary, and Chicken and red pepper. However, I think the egg dishes are just normal. 

These are the dishes under 'Fish' and 'Shellfish'. The pan-fired salmon (right top) is over-dried and tasteless. The Clams and Mussels with apple and chili padi (the front) is special, worth a try. 

I love the all the foods under 'Pasta/Risotto', which are the Carborana, baked macaroni and tomato risotto. My boyfie found the the Black Angus beef burger is tasty and he ordered the same dish for twice! The burger is tiny and cute, and also well char-grilled, according to him. 

Roasted Halibut with lemongrass sauce, Strip loin with sauce Charon, and Paprika chicken with sweet corn and mushrooms.

Since we still have 'space' in our stomach, we decided to order whatever that we have left out. The Lamb Kofta is good. But, honestly, both of us think that the carrot and cardamom with spiced jack fruit soup is really disgusting! Perhaps we don't like jack fruit.

The last round - Dessert! 

Overall, I think DISH is a restaurant that worth trying. Some might find it good but others might not agree. For me, I expected too much from this restaurant (because of the reviews from internet) but ended up with slight disappointment. ^^
