Gerai, the food loft

YAY! Public holiday tomorrow!!! This means you get to have a day to try out awesome food! :D So this restaurant, Gerai, the food loft, was recommended by a friend. Check it out!

It's at Centrepoint, Bandar Utama (pretty near Starbucks or Subway)

Gerai Laksa RM9.90

>Served with chicken, prawn, fish cake, taupok, cocker, bean sprout and half boiled egg

-This is their famous dish! I thought it tasted really good. It was filling as well. The laksa was not too thick or too diluted. Not super spicy at all which was pretty good for me. Other than that, I've got nothing else to comment because it was just pretty good. #worthtrying

Gerai Prawn Mee RM10.90

>Served with pork, prawn, half boiled egg, fish cake, bean sprout and kangkung

-Wasn't as good as the ones you can find in food court; Mien Tien. Pretty pricey as well because the prawns were not 'meaty'/didn't taste as fresh as we expected. I think you should go for the Gerai Laksa instead.

 

Dried pork curry noodle RM9.90

>Served with pork curry, shredded egg, fish cake and bean sprout

-Not as tasty as it sounds. It was pretty salty and not spicy at all. Didn't even taste like it was curry. LOL presentation of dishes are decent.

XI Hainanese Chicken Rice RM11.90

>Served with juicy free ranch steamed chicken, bean sprout and aromatic steamed rice

-Sounds really delicious but RM11.90 for this???? You could literally buy two plates of chicken rice in typical Chinese food courts. But the rice really tasted delicious! However, the chicken was cold and....let's just say steamed chicken never tasted that good anyway. 

Gerai Mee Siam RM9.90

>Served with prawn fish cake, fried tofu, shredded egg and bean sprout

-Turns out to be tom yum mee hoon according to the person who ate this. It didn't taste anything like mee siam at all. "Not eating this again"- only because it didn't taste like mee siam.

ABC RM6.90

-Looks so delicious and refreshing for a hot weather! The ice was not as fine as we wanted but it was alright. 

Overall, 6/10

If I were to go to Centrepoint to eat, I might try this place only for ONE time. I'd rather have Subway sandwich or KFC because I preferred Western food :p hehe

Have an awesome day tomorrow peeps! 

Stay tuned,

xx

double park

It's the WEEKEND!!!!! woohooo...We're so sorry to keep you waiting! One of us finally survived the most hectic week! :D So here's another review for ya'll awesome foodies....double-PARK! This restaurant is located at SS2 (near police station). Oh by the way, GUESS WHAT????? double-PARK used to be......UFO! Like O-M-GOSH! They've turned it to a cafe & bar from selling only desserts. 

Pretty spacious

Ice Lemon Tea RM5.90

-Nothing special but at least they've got more lemon slices compared to other places i've tried.

Hot honey milk RM5.90

-omgosshh...this is a must try! YES, I know that it's only milk and honey that is heated up....BUT IT TASTE SO GOOD. Addictive! It tasted really smooth and sweet. Don't order this if you hate milk. Although I love this drink so much, I feel that this is overpriced considering the ingredients can be obtained easily. Plus, it helps you to sleep better! #seriously

Club sandwich RM8.90

-Taste really plain. Nothing special. I didn't like the fact that the luncheon meat is placed into a 'western' dish if you know what I mean. It tasted too salty and it's not even worth RM8.90. If you love sandwiches, check out Food Talk or Stacks. This dish, was just really bad. Wouldn't recommend to try it at all. #blek

Italian style bacon spaghetti RM13.50

-Too spicy. Tasted really gooddd but pretty spicy towards the end. Please remember to order drinks because this is one hot dish yo! Flavoring & Seasonings were good (Y) not bad at all.

Chicken Chop RM17.50

-Chicken is very tender. I love the tiny crisp of the chicken skin. There was enough flavoring on the chicken. However, there was not seasoning on the broccoli, corn or pathetic-looking carrots. This dish was not worth ordering at all...take a look at the other dish below and you'll know why.

Double Park Mix Chop RM18.50

-I love their gravy; mushroom sauce got chunks of mushroom! This dish was definitely more worth it than the chicken chop. Only RM1 difference and you get a bigger portion as well as 3 different kinds of meat; fish, pork and chicken. This portion is enough for 2 persons. The wedges were a bit too salty. Vege sides were not seasoned as well...tasted kind of raw. The chicken meat is tender but has a lot of fats (which some of you might like). Fish tasted pretty okay; crispy on the outside. Pork tasted pretty tough; no fats, like pork fillet. Overall, this dish was the most worth it dish.

Oh! You get to perform if you want to....not sure how it works but...yeah! :D

Overall, 6/10. 

They have other dishes like shanghai noodles, nissin noodles, hot-pot rice and sandwiches.

In terms of service, everybody is friendly and food serves pretty fast.

Food: there's more improvement

Price: need to reconsider to lower some prices

Desserts: didn't even get to try their famous UFO desserts. Apparently it's always "out" whenever we order :(

Till next time!

Food Talk

It's been awhile since I've updated my foodie journey :( But here's a special treat for ya'll patient people :D
So I've passed by this restaurant and have been dying to try here...It's called food talk @ ss2. Check it out!!!!

Left: Blue Sand Kiwi Soda RM6.90, Right: Milk tea with qq jelly RM5.90

-I loved the drink on the left, just because it taste weird but addictive! With this hot weather, you will enjoy this cold, fizzy drink travelling down your mouth to your stomach (Y) 

-Milk tea taste a little like ChaTime but this one had more milk tea taste (Y)

Indo Mee with Chicken Chop RM8.90

-First time seeing an Indo Mee dish WITH chicken chop! The chicken was marinated so well that I could smell the dish before it arrived in front of me HAHA It doesn't taste dry at all and it has a tiny bit of spiciness. A pretty "high class" indo mee i guess! Wouldn't order this if you plan to have lunch or dinner...this would be suitable for supper :3

French Toast Peanut Butter RM4.90

-The peanut butter overpowered the toast which was awesome! It is crispy on the sides. However, I didn't really enjoy it as much because it was too oily and thus, making the bread a bit soggy and tasteless. It probably taste better if it weren't too oily.

Egg Mayo Sandwich

-Presentation makes the food look stunning. 

Lobster Sandwich RM10.90

-I preferred this!!!!!!!! THIS WAS SO GOOD. I could taste chunks of lobster in the sandwich. Some may not like it but I always come back for this! The sauce for the lobster was good. Generally, the portion is pretty good. I was quite full after my last bite. If you're a sandwich lover like me, you might like this!

French fries RM5.90

-Generous amount of fries! Very worth it. BUT, it is a little too oily. Might need to reduce a bit of that eh?

Twister Fries RM8.90

- Loved it! Generous amount as well. You can go there and hang out with friends and order this. Super addictive!

Tester smth.... RM7.90

-Can't really remember what this was called but it looked interesting and decided to give it a try. Wouldn't recommend ordering this because if you are thirsty, this would be gone in one second. Although the concept is quite interested, but I wished the portion could be more/use a bigger test tube?

Sambal petai seafood rice RM11.90

-THIS IS TO ALL PETAI LOVERS. You should order this if you love petai. The petai smell is so strong! The sauce was a little spicy and you can taste the raw chilli. Worth trying only if you're into petai! LOL

Garlic Mantao RM4.90

-omgee they look so adorable! They taste really chewy and tasty but again, it is kinda oily. :( 

Vege Waddan Yee Mee RM8.90

-A lot of sauce and enough flavoring. Surprising though, it didn't taste bitter at all even though it had lots of bitter gourd in it. 

Oreo Millie Crepe Cake

-LOOKS and TASTE delicious!!! Would love it even more if it was served super cold! :D

Vanilla Mille Crepe RM8.90

-soft and fluffy! not super sweet but just nice!!! Must end your lunch/dinner/supper with their desserts! 

Overall, 8/10

-They can improve in terms of making their food less oily.

As you can see, i've got a lot of pictures of the food because I've been there many times. I absolutely love their restaurant; feels comfortable and you can eat your food in peace. This place is most packed especially during the night time! Every time we feel like eating something at SS2, this would be the place I would go too :)

Address:

61-9, Jalan SS2/75, SS2, 47300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Business Operation hours:

Monday-Sunday: 12pm - 1am

Friday & Saturday: 12pm - 2am

Stay tuned food lovers!

d'cuisine

Yo! Today's review is going to be on a restaurant @ Plaza 33, d'cuisine (very close to Coliseum too) We decided to dine here when we couldn't get a space at Coliseum. And if you are wondering...nope, it is NOT french cuisine :( was hoping it was but.... no. HAHA It is sort of an Asian-fusion kind of cuisine.

d'Cuisine restaurant.

The chef. He kinda looks like Wilber Pan's..older brother? lol

We got our seats! :D By the time we order, the restaurant was pretty full.

Pineapple juice RM9

-Not sure if it's worth it..but usually restaurants like these serve their juices at this prices. It tasted quite good though. Wished they served in a bigger glass! 

Sake Ria RM 15-(without alcohol) RM28-(alcohol)

>Sake, Peach Puree, fresh orange juice, fresh apple soda, mint leaves.

-This one was without alcohol. I pretty like it. It taste really light and surprisingly tasty!!! Although I don't really fancy mint, but the mint in the juice definitely brings out the flavor (Y) yummy

Bloody Magarita

>Jose cuervo antigua 1800 silver tequila, cointreau, blood orange puree, calamansi juice.

- When the drink came, i was like....wow. The glass is so tiny. RM15 for the non-alcoholic one. I was sure i could finish it before the food came. The taste is quite yummy, a bit sourish so it helps to open up your appetite. But i still prefer the one on top.

Norwegian Salmon Curry Noodles RM22

> Premium salmon fillet chunks in nyonya curry and thick hong kong mee noodles

-I appreciate menus that gives the description of the dish; helps me to decide whether i feel like eating that or not. hahaha. The curry tasted sooooooooooo good. LOVED it! Kind of taste like dal (indian curry) but only better and nicer! Everything tasted pretty good. However, I do kind of wish that they didn't soak the salmon into the noodle. Didn't really work for me. Overall, this dish tasted pretty good.

Mixed Seafood Hotsplate (Nyonya/Kam Heong) RM38

>Sea fresh mixed seafood in nyonya or kam heong style on sizzling hotplate

-The sauce had a mixture of sweet, salty and sourness. It had a little Thai flavor that blends really well with the sauce and the seafood. Definitely for Thai and seafood lovers. If you're ordering this, you would need to order separately an extra bowl of rice because they don't serve any rice with it.

D'Cuisine Peranakan Platter RM25

>Marinated deep fried herb and spices infused chicken, asam prawns with vegetables and coconut rice garnished with cucumber and tomato slices.

-THIS DISH WAS FANTASTIC. Yes, i know what you're thinking...Why order THAT when you come to such a 'fancy' restaurant like this? But, this dish--is the popular dish in this restaurant. Everything tasted so good! The table next to us or across us also ordered this. First, the rice....was sooooo tasty! The chicken was so crispy and the meat was tight! (nomnom) The seasoning was pretty okay. Some parts of the chicken were a bit too salty and other parts were just tasteless. I guess they need to be more consistent in their seasoning. Most of their dishes are pretty salty too though! (Asian taste perhaps?) In terms of price, it is a little bit too pricey for a dish that looks like a typical 'nasi lemak' that you can probably get at Village Park (RM8++ for the nasi lemak at Village Park that looks a bit like this). But if you're there to just eat and don't mind spending THAT much...i'd definitely recommend this!

Fish noodles RM22

>Sea fresh garoupa slices with thick rice noodles in spicy seafood stock with salted vegetable, ginger and spring onions with a dash of milk topped with crispy ginger beard (spiciness optional)

- I seriously love the way they present their food. Definitely +1 point to them! And the way they describe their dishes makes it harder for anyone to order because everything sounds so good! This dish was a bit salty and some strands of noodles were a bit hard. Also, there was a strong rice wine taste. Tasted okay. But i will definitely not order this because this dish tasted really normal and nothing special especially with that kind of price.

Grilled Salmon with Tarragon and Garlic Paste RM37

>Fillet of salmon pan grilled and baked, topped with special creamy tarragon paste, served with roasted potatoes and side salad.

-This dish was over-seasoned. The salmon was salty, the sauce was salty but a bit sourish, the fish skin was salty but crunchy and the wedges were salty but nicely grilled. The presentation of the dish was really good. I enjoyed it...however, it wasn't...wow-ing. When you pay so much for a dish, you expect a lot from it. But for this...I didn't quite 'feel' it :(

Mustard and Herbs crusted baked Chicken RM28

> Boneless thigh of chicken marinated in bountiful of herbs and spices, baked and served with fresh mashed potato topped with brown sauce and seasonal vegetable.

-The brown sauce was quite thick and too much pepper with over powered the other flavors in the dish. The chicken meat was tender but if you eat it without the sauce, it just tastes okay. Mash potatoes were pretty delicious. But the seasonal vegetable looked...sad? lol

Lemongrass Ice Cream Parfait RM12

>Homemade lemongrass ice cream on homemade lemongrass jelly with a dash of lemon juice

-How can you end your night without dessert???? THIS WAS REALLY GOOD. Tasty and light! Even if you're stuffed at the end, you definitely still can fit this in! I love how the lemongrass made it not so 'jelak' (you don't get sick after eating for a long time) Everything about this dessert was really yummy! #musttry

Overall, 7.5/10 for this restaurant.
-They serve really pretty looking dishes. Definitely need to be consistent with the seasoning, taste and flavors of dishes. Spacious restaurant and friendly waiters/waitresses.

Anyways,
have a great week and stay tuned for more reviews :D
