Pasta de Gohan & The Street Cafe, Sunway Pyramid


As we couldn't think of any nice to eat in Sunway Pyramid, we just take a chance to try out the food at Pasta de Gohan. There are many varieties of fusion pasta to choose from that I really couldn't made up my mind. I would love to try all of them....Lastly, we decided on the set where we can choose a type of pasta and a type of other dish. G asked me to choose both the dished but I can't remember the name of the pasta we had as it I didn't have good impression of it. The sauce is tomato base with very little meat.

For the other dish, I ordered tuna gratin which is also a dissappointment.

Lastly, G also ordered a side order of fried calamaries. When I tasted the first piece, I asked the waiter to check as the calamari was not fresh. The manager came and assured that they'll replace the dish. After a long wait, the calamari was served. Unfortunately, the replacement also tasted the same although the smell of the seafood is not so strong. After trying one piece, I left the dish untouched. Overall, it was not a great experience and the service was terrible.

After the unsatisfying lunch, we decide to have some bites for tea time. G recommended the Korean stall at Asian Avenue which serves real good Korean food. At the Street Cafe, we ordered the set meal which consists of Korean Herbal Tea, Soup, Chicken skewers and Noodles with rice cake. The chicken were marinated well and taste so wonderful. The chicken was tender and succulent as well. I just can't wait to go back to have more of the grill chicken skewers with different sauce.

G love the rice cake and the sauce that goes with the noodles were very spicy and flavourful. It was just fantastic.

Crystal Jade, Mid Valley

After much anticipation, I finally get to try out the la mian at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Pao in Mid Valley.

There was only 2 of us, so I did not managed to try many varieties of dishes. I ordered my favourite Spicy and Sour La Mian. I love the flavourful broth with the meat, silken tofu, preserved vegetables and sliced mushroom. The noodles are smooth and nice.

E ordered the dinner set which includes appetizer- cold tofu, pan fried dumpling, signature la mian which comes with peanut sauce and dessert which is soya jelly. I like the peanut sauce which is quite different from many other restaurant which makes the la mian interesting but my favourite would still be the basic la mian with garlic oil. Unfortunately, they don't serve this type of la mian here in KL. I would need to make a trip to Singapore to have that.


Appetiser - Silken Tofu with Preserved Egg

The pan fried dumpling is average, similar to what you can get at many other cafe. Nothing special about all the other dishes but I would definately be back for the la mian
