 Teas aside... Ice mocha cappuchino

Heartwarming @ Winter Warmer, The Curve, Damansara ~ Part 01

 For a tea lover who enjoys nothing better than a cup with a good friend, great conversation and lovely ambiance - this place is for you.

Theobroma Chocolate Lounge @ The Curve, Damansara ~ something other than chocolate

 Looking for a quick lunch for a single person, spotted a non crowded place along The Street @ The Curve. Welcome to the Theobroma Chocolate Lounge, an Australian chocolate heaven for those who seeks it.

My quick lunch @ Little Penang Cafe, The Curve

Alone and in a hurry, I managed to stop by Little Penang Cafe for clean hawker food that I'd so enjoyed during my visits to Penang.

 They all look pretty nice to me but I was extremely hungry to wait for the seafood char kuey teow which would take 15 - 20 min so picked something else.

 Initially I ordered the cold barley lime but the taste was not to my liking. The lime taste was not there so I chucked it for sirap bandung cincau, which was nicer and not too sweet.

 This is Acar Fish Set: fried fish in pickled vegetable sauce, lobak (chicken in tofu skin), ju hu char (turnip stir fried with shrimp and slices of squid), sambal belacan for umph, white rice. If you like your fish in sweet and sour sauce, this is for you. The ju hu char can be substituted for kerabu pucuk paku (a kind of fern salad)

 Dessert! Pulut hitam in santan. Found 2 longan. Lovely! Not too sweet, just nice and creamy.

The crowd was really huge and non stop. As you can see, it's a kedai kopi ambience. Everyone just slurp and burp here regardless tie or no tie. Though food is nowhere to compare to actual Penang food, it is still above par and acceptable, a bit pricey though.

Soothing a sweet tooth @ Gelare, The Curve Damansara

For a doctor, I have a super sweet tooth ^o^ The amount of carbs and sugar that I consumed can shock all my patients to cardiac arrest if I ever disclosed them (just kidding).

This is after a 2 hour gym work out where I was absolutely craving for a sweetie =D My fluffy pancakes topped with banana, drizzled with maple syrup, a dollop of cream and a scoop of Chocolate Overload. Wai XD

Some ice cream have alcohol content though.

Japanese food @ Senjyu again @ The Curve, Mutiara Damansara

My second visit to Senjyu after a while ^_^ As usual, service and food are impeccable!

Jasmine Faery again! Simply love it ^_^

Starter: seasoned jelly fish @ Chuka Karaage. Crunchy!

From left: Hamachi, Inari Lobster Salad, Toro

Instead of the usual set meal, we took the garlic fried rice with yasai miso shiru (vege miso soup) and Unagi Kabayaki (grilled premium eel)

I love this picture, it was caught in a dream like quality. My dessert: mochi crepe with vanilla ice cream.

My second visit to Senjyu after a while ^_^ As usual, service and food are impeccable!

Japanese food @ Sakae Sushi , The Curve, Mutiara Damansara

This was actually ages ago, just that I forgot about it =P God knows how many times I've gone to Sakae Sushi on the days when I craved simple and cheap Japanese food.

Salmon Shitake Inari sushi

Ika Karaage @ Fried squid.

Gyouza with minced prawn filling

The Sakae Set of various sushi.

Salmon Shiitake on skewer. I can't remember the exact name but it was minced salmon on shiitake mushroom grilled in a sauce.

For simple, affordable and nice Japanese food, Sakae Sushi is an option. The branch in 1Utama somehow managed to serve more items with better service compared to The Curve, if you want an honest opinion.




NOTE:

Status: serve no pork. Cooking may contains alcohol


Service: OK lah... deteriorate during busy hours.

Japanese food @ Senjyu, The Curve, Mutiara Damansara

Finally, after reading so many reviews about Senjyu and the quality of Japanese food served there, I decided to give it a try.

Senjyu is reportedly, a high end and high class Japanese restaurant, and here I may confirmed that those reports and reviews on many blogs are delightfully true. Indeed, it was a wonderful experience to enjoy good Japanese food at Senjyu.

My jobless picture of cutlery and the menu while waiting for the food to arrive. Dunno why the lighting was so orenge-y.

My beautiful Jasmine Faery tea and my lovely lobster chawanmushi. There is no simple green tea here; in Senjyu the green tea are steeped with flowers, giving it a hint of sweet aroma with an exotic tang.

My beautiful Faery in the beautiful cup ^_^

Carppaccio Moriawase: half broiled salmon, tuna, butterfish accompanied with 5 condiments (sake is the clear coloured one, ponzu sauce, soy sauce, spicy sesame oil, sesame seed) and sprinkled with salmon roe. Loved the popping!

I could not get enough of the salmon roe so I had the sushi, along with premium river eel (Jyo Unagi Sushi, which tasted better than the usual eel, but cannot beat the sea eel) and surf clam (Hokkigai Sushi). Above is my salmon belly sashimi which was superb with a pinch of lemon!

Oyster! Made into Oyster Roll with the combination of light tamago wrapping around the oyster and Japanese mushroom, prepared in a special sauce.

My hotate... freshly flown in. Ike Hotate & Kinoko Yaki : they serve this in simmering broth in the scallop shell. I quickly took the poor hotate off the fire and asked the waiter to take the fire pot away as it was getting too hot... =p

Lastly, a dessest of plain old green tea ice cream ^_^

When the bill came, it total up to RM 157.76 including taxes. Considered excellent for the load of seafood.




Note:

Status: serve no pork. Cooking may contain alcohol


Service: Excellent! The server explained the menu well, keep appearing to refill the teapot, and I changed my plate 3 times (they keep offering to change for a fresh plate)!


Ambience: lovely! Tatami sitting on cushion actually but who cares.

Thai Express = Thai fastfood

A day of hardwork, no one to cook for me at home and a craving for rice (After 1 week avoiding due to my expanding waistline... ). So a drive to The Curve, Mutiara Damansara...

Simple Thai food, not authentic enough but as mentioned above, I feel like this place is more of a fast food version. Contemporary setting, modern music, Thai - looking waiters.

I had sweet and sour fish with white rice, which was nice accompanied with my favourite vege, brinjal cooked in tom yum paste (not spicy).
