IKEA Damansara @ KL

IKEA Damansara used to be my favorite hang out place when I was in university at Cyberjaya. Recently, I went back again with darling during our 3D2N KL Trip. It was still the same, full of crowds on the weekend and impressive design of furniture. 

A Must-Take Photo at the warehouse

Since we were not planning to buy anything, we just window shopping around and imagine how our future home would be. Kitchen island would definitely be our top choice provided that our future kitchen is big enough to fit in. 

IKEA Meatball

IKEA Meatball

One of the food I miss the most is IKEA meatball. I still remember how tasty it used to be but unfortunately I was a little disappointed this round. Is it their quality dropp or because I have tasted much better meat ball since the last visit? 

Then of course the ice cream is different too. With the technological advancement, even the ice cream has a vending machine where everything is automated. Just simply purchase the IKEA coin at the counter and proceed to the vending machine. Nothing to shout about as I still prefer McDonald's Sundae Cone. 

Well, I guess I won't be looking forward to visit IKEA as I used to be anymore. Besides, IKEA will be opening their new outlet in Batu Kawan, Penang soon. So Penangite like me no longer have to travel all the way to KL. But I do hope that the one in Penang will be much better!

J&G Fried Chicken (继光香香鸡) @ Sunway Putra Mall, KL

It seems like our 3D2N Trip to KL was all related to chicken, including this one - J&G Fried Chicken  (继光香香鸡) which located in Sunway Putra Mall. It is one of the food stalls at the Selera Street at the top floor and we chose it to try out simply because it is not available in Penang yet. 

According to the information shown at the shop, J&G Fried Chicken is from Taiwan, I supposed something similar to Shihlin Fried Chicken. Not sure how famous it is in Taiwan (although they claimed to be rated as top), but definitely not the familiar brands that I have seen in Taiwan. So again, we tried their Signature Crispy Chicken Nugget whereby it is selling at RM9 for 150g (Small) and RM15 for 250g (Large).  

We were there quite early on a weekday so there isn't any crowd at all. To maintain the crispiness, I believe the chicken nuggets will be fried on the spot once you have made your order. At least, that's how she did it for us, so that it is hot and crispy! Similar like Shihlin, they got the transparent see-through kitchen for you to witness their frying process. The oil still looks clean and transparent so that's a good sign! 

We were given to choose the level of spiciness too. Overall, the crispy chicken nugget was tasty, tender but not too dry. It would be delightful as one of those finger food while window shopping in Sunway Putra Mall. We have to say that it got us addicted given the level of spiciness was just nice to feel the oomph! Go try it out and let us know if you think so too!

Wong Ah Wah Famous Chicken Wing @ Jalan Alor, KL

One of the famous tourist spot for good food in Kuala Lumpur will be Jalan Alor. I supposed Jalan Alor is like the food stalls in Gurney Drive, Penang. So during our 3D2N Trip to KL, we went there for the Wong Ah Wah famous chicken wings.  

Jalan Alor located at the 2nd parallel lane to Jalan Bukit Bintang. So it was quite near for us to walk over as we went to Berjaya Times Square, Low Yat Plaza, Lot 10 and Sungei Wang Plaza before dinner. We reached around 7.30pm and the crowds start filling in. One long lane full of food stalls at both side and I find it quite annoying that the foreign waiters from different restaurants will keep promoting their place.  

Wong Ah Wah famous chicken wings located at the end of the road. They are the only one with "Mickey Mouse" on their signboard, so do look for that if you find it hard to locate. I am actually quite surprised that most of the restaurant are full of people. Perhaps they are famous for something too, next time gotta revisit again to try out! Do let me know your recommendation if you know any! 

If signboard is hard to locate, perhaps look for smoke! I am not exaggerating, the small stalls that roasting the chicken wings are like on fire with a lot of smoke. So perhaps that's a good indicator! Getting a table could be difficult if you are not there early. We were lucky enough to get a table but we still have to wait for half an hour just for 4 roasted chicken wings! 

A sets of Wong Ah Wah famous chicken wings consists of both the chicken wing and the drummet which costs RM3.20 per set! We ordered 4 sets. It is expensive! Wait, compare to the 4Fingers Crispy Chicken we had in the afternoon, this was cheaper relatively! But to be fair, Wong Ah Wah famous chicken wings was worth the try. The price can only be justified with the fact that many celebrities went there before. Will I go back again, wait for 30 minutes and pay RM3.20 each? Probably not. 

We were starving that time, so we ordered Fried Bee Tai Bak and Fried Hokkien Mee (Dai Lok Mee). Both were nothing to shout about. Well, that day was just the two of us, so we can't really try other food. But judging from the other tables, seems like many ordered their seafood. And there were super duper lots of China tourist in groups that brought there by tour guides! I wonder how much is their commission? 

There are quite a number of restaurant selling Thai food there too. Maybe we can try that in our next visit. But do let us know so that we could check it out! Thanks!

4Fingers Crispy Chicken @ Mid Valley Megamall, KL

During our 3D2N Trip to KL, we went window shopping in Mid Valley Megamall. It has been a while since I last stepped foot in this mall. As usual, it was still very crowded during the weekend. We have chosen 4Fingers Crispy Chicken for our lunch as it is not available in Penang yet. What a special name huh!

4Fingers Crispy Chicken

Like the name suggest, it's all about crispy chicken in 4Fingers Crispy Chicken. To be honest, it is not similar as KFC at all. (Of course I still love KFC) I supposed setting the ordering counter right infront of the shop with the long queue is a good marketing strategy to attract the attention of passersby. Unlike KFC, you will be given a buzzer while you are seated and proceed to pick up your chicken at the pick up counter once the device light up and buzz.

4Fingers Crispy Chicken - 4Fingers Signature (RM20.90)

We ordered a 6 pcs combo which costs RM20.90 that comes with a drink and kimchi fries. The 4Fingers Crispy Chicken was really crispy but without the KFC kind of thick batter. The meat was tender but I would love it if they provide chicken thigh too. Nothing to shout about the kimchi fries as they just sprinkle the kimchi powder on top. 

Personally I think 6 pcs, which is actually 3 sets of chicken wings plus the drummets, costs RM20.90 is a bit too expensive. If I'm craving for chicken, probably I would still go for KFC. Well, go give it a try and let me know if you like it too!

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar @ Sunway Putra Mall, Kuala Lumpur

Calling all big fans of oyster! Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar is now opened in Sunway Putra Mall. Sunway Putra Mall is considered the new mall in town and we went for a walk since it is just a stone throw away from the place we stayed - Regalia Residence during our 3D2N KL Trip. So coincidentally we stumbled upon this restaurant. 

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar is located at ground floor which is beside of Bread Story bakery. It is easy to find when you are taking the escalator down to ground floor as the shop is on the right side. Besides, they have a big bright sign board that would catch your attention. The friendly waiter like Yeasin greeted us with warm welcome to try out their oysters.

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - Kayes shucking the oyster

According to the waiters, Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar was having the opening promotion, so we were lucky to try out for free. He told us that not many people know about their shop yet, so I supposed that I should write a short blog post in return as a favor for the great hospitality. 

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - Tragheanna Bay Oyster (RM26 3pcs/RM80 Dozen)

For starter, we were given the most affordable one (RM26 for 3pcs or RM80 per dozen) in the menu, Tragheanna Bay Oyster from Ireland. To be honest, both of us are not keen to eat oyster, especially given that it was just 11am in the morning. But the firm and plump-looking oysters are just way too tempting!

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - Tragheanna Bay Oyster (RM26 3pcs/RM80 Dozen)

With a little squeeze of lemon and a drop of Tobasco sauce, we slurped it in, give a gentle bite and down it slides into our throat. We don't really know how to tell if is good (I supposed it depends on personal preference), but Tragheanna Bay Oyster is good enough for us as it is sweet, not too briny (salty), and plump enough for us to taste the texture. 

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - Irish Premium (RM35 3pcs/RM110 Dozen)

The next one was Irish Premium, literally judging by the price. Did I forget to mention that all these oysters are alive until they are shucked? Well, again to be frank, if you put both Irish Premium and the normal one, I really could not tell the difference! Perhaps need to start learning to eat then! 

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar

What I do know is that these oysters have wondrous texture, so smooth that it slurps into your mouth together with the liquor (oyster juice) and slides into your stomach in no time! I supposed one could finished a dozen in a flash. But all in all, that's the satisfaction you will get! 

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - France Style Australian Mussel (RM45 3pcs/RM70 Dozen)

Chef Nishat also served us with Australian Mussels in France style with cream, garlic and herb. I find that the cream sauce was delightful and makes the mussels more appetizing. We were given a seafood fork to pry the tender flesh from the open shell. Be extra careful when you are holding the mussel as I was cut by the shell unknowingly!  

Sydney Oyster Restaurant & Bar - France Style Australian Mussel (RM45 3pcs/RM70 Dozen)

Surprisingly, the mussel was quite odd-looking (if you know what I mean) since it is supposed to be the oyster that resemble the female genitalia. And I'm not sure if they are as aphrodesiac (arousing sexual desire) as oyster does. Nevertheless, the mussels are tasty, a bit chewy and very tender to eat! So at the end of the meal, I supposed one would be like this... 

Go try now!

Epicuro Uptown @ Damansara Uptown, Kuala Lumpur

If you are looking for a relaxing place for a decent meal around Damansara Uptown, look no further as Epicuro Uptown could be your best bet! If you follow #iblogmyway closely (if you haven't, click here!), you would know that we have been to KL for a 3D2N trip. Thanks to Tessa, she brought us to this nice cafe in this cafe-mushrooming town.  

Epicuro Uptown - Linguine with Pesto (RM22.90)

Tessa ordered Linguine with Pesto which filled with lots of diced tomatoes, bacon bits as well as their homemade basil walnut pesto. Surprisingly, the linguine wasn't green enough like the usual pesto would be and personally, I would prefer the strong taste of basil. Well definitely Epicuro Uptown's linguine is suitable for those who doesn't fancy the aromatic of basil. 

Epicuro Uptown - Spaghetti Carbonara (RM22.90)

Epicuro Uptown - Spaghetti Carbonara (RM22.90)

Mine was Spaghetti Carbonara in a smooth cream sauce with bacon bits and topped with slow poached egg. It was really appealing especially with the slow poached egg that was cooked perfectly as you can see in the photo. I certainly enjoyed creamy spaghetti as it makes me slurped up the whole plate easily! The aroma and the saltiness of bacon bits make it a lot more appetizing!  

Epicuro Uptown - Conchiglie with Spinach Cream (RM22.90)

Baby Gwen ordered this green-looking shell shaped pasta in a spinach cream sauce with bacon bits and toasted sunflower seeds. Okay wait, I don't think I noticed any sunflower seed! Well, I got their menu description from their website here, so probably Epicuro Uptown have updated a new menu in the physical shop which without the sunflower seeds. Anyway, I think it was pretty okay although I was hoping that I could taste some spinach flavor. Should I?

Now only I have realized that all the pasta we ordered are filled with bacon bits, how convenient is that huh! We were complimenting their speed in serving the food as our pasta came like within 5 minutes. I don't think you can find that quick serving in a busy cafe in Penang! So, choose here if you are in a rush or when you are super duper hungry! Anyhow, Epicuro Uptown is quite dark to take photo as you can see my photos are all edited with brighten times 999999! Well, that's all, go and have a try and let me know how you think about it too! 

Bon Appétit!
