Kyochon

Happy New Year everybody! Hope you guys had an awesome week! This post will definitely make this week even extra awesome for those who are Korean fans!!!!! :D I will tell you at the end of this post! But for now, food first :)


KyoChon 1991 is located at One Utama (near cold storage). And guess what? Super Juniors are the ambassador of KyoChon!!! (anybody screaming/going gaga yet?) haha This restaurant is famous for its fried chicken. Literally! Their menu is all about the chicken...

Took a picture of the restaurant's name board! (hidden behind the red cloth, you'll know why soon!) and yes, that's a wax figurine of **ahemmm** I don't know who but you'd know soon! HAHAHHA ;)

Kitchen. (spot that korean guy?) heheh

From the left to right;
Bori-cha (Roasted Barley Tea), Oksusu-Cha (Roasted Corn Tea), and Nok-Cha (Korean Green Tea)
RM2.50 (hot & refillable)/RM3.50 (cold, not refillable) 
>We tried all 3 different flavors of tea. They really taste as what they are described. I like the corn and barley flavor. Different kind of taste! 

Natural Sparkling Yuza Fruit Tea (RM5.90)
>We were recommended to try this! They have really good service. Staff are friendly and patient! Anyway, this drink was quite bitter but has a sweet tangy sparkling taste. Taste a bit of pomelo fruit+citrus skin. lol Not too bad. Worth trying though! 

The restaurant is quite big. But to fit the fans.....? I don't think they can :P


Honey Wing & Drumette 
(small 5pcs RM10.90; medium 10pcs RM21.80; large 20 pcs RM43.50)
>They have 3 types of flavor
1) Original Soy Sauce
2) Red Spicy Sauce
3) Honey Sauce
>The Honey flavor is their best seller. And it was very tasty. We took the medium one. But the wings and drumettes were really tiny. (like really tiny) Nevertheless, flavor was good!

Original Soy Wing & Drumette 
(5pcs RM9.90; 10pcs RM19.80; 20pcs RM39.50)
>Slightly cheaper than the Honey flavored one. But the wings and drumettes were tinier!!!!!! It was quite sad and according to the guy, pretty salty. It is best to eat with the Korean rice. But I would definitely order more of the Honey flavored if I went there again.


On the left; Korean Butter Rice (RM4) Right; Normal Korean Rice (RM3)
> I personally preferred the buttered Korean Rice. It tasted really yummy even on its own! It is a must order if not you would not be full with just tiny chicken wings and drumettes.



Rice Cake Soup with Chicken (RM6.90)
>The friendly waiter recommended us this. On the menu, the picture seriously looked different. When this dish came, we were quite shocked/puzzled. Like, where were the Rice Cake??? The rice cake sank and was at the bottom of the soup. I would not recommend ordering this dish. Just a normal kind of soup. The rice cake tasted chewy. Nothing special. But go ahead if you want to try! haha


Mandarin Salad RM15.90 (add grilled chicken RM6)
> Obviously we weren't full and decided to order a salad. The waiter recommended this. So we ordered just the salad itself. This dish was not worth it at all! :( RM15.90 for just the vegetables and mandarin sauce?! Seriously don't order. If you are a salad lover, go to Kita No Zen or any other Japanese restaurants. They have better salad+other ingredients at about the same price. 

TA-DA! So do you guys know who this is? 

So here's the BIG surprise...are you ready for it?

SUPER JUNIOR IS COMING TO TOWN KYOCHON!!!!!!!!!! Technically not all 9 of them are coming according to the store manager. But 2 of them will be coming to officiate the opening of the restaurant; Kyuhyun and Kangin (the poster of the guy at the far right of the photo is coming but i don't know who's who LOL) 

The event starts at 7pm but obviously you've got to be earlier and you'd need to register to be in the lucky draw contest. And here's a tip on how you can meet them/take photo/get their autograph:

Only 7 lucky winners (lucky draw) will get to take picture with them and their autograph. 
BUT, you would need to have KyoChon's calendar! (how to get that?) 
SIMPLE! Just dine in and you'll get a calendar which they will ONLY sign on! 
All the best!

Date: 10th January 2014 (Friday)
Venue: KyoChon (near Cold Storage), One Utama
Time: 7pm (but go earlier to register)

Share this post around to all the Super Junior Fans! :D

Have a great week!!!

Serai

Located outside of paradigm mall, above fa-ying! You'll have to take the escalator up to reach this place.


Tropical fiesta RM10.50
Ice blended with fresh mangoes & pineapple, refreshing and yummy!


Spaghetti carbonara RM23
I really liked this carbonara! Though it'll be abit jelak towards the end but it's too good to resist!


Spaghetti smoked salmon RM23
This is not too bad either, but I would choose the carbonara over this. The salmon were quite generous too! But I got tired of chewing so much haha



Pavlova 
Love their pavlova! I prefer theirs over delicious', not too sweet.


Nutella raviolli RM15
I wouldn't recommend this because you can barely taste the nutella and it's like just eating wantan filled with little bit of choc. 



Lots of place to sit inside & it's pretty cosy with a quite decent view.

Overall the food's pretty good & it's a great place to just chill or have a date :)

Stay tuned!

The bee

Happy new year guys! Sorry for the lack of updates but here's some foooood to kick start your new year :)



The hotdogs are not bad! Sorry don't remember the names but either one, it's good!
Soft & fluffy bun, loads of cheese & fries! I recommend this :)


Rainbow cake RM10+
Looks are deceiving! It's not as good as it looks.


Blat. 
I like this sandwich! The bread is soft and the cheese melts in your mouth. The chips are good too!


Red velvet cupcake. This is good! But sadly it's quite small, craving for more!

Have a great year ahead & eat more food :D

Til then,

Sushi Tei (part 2)

Merry Christmasssssssss!!!!!! I love how Japanese restaurants have different kind of special menus each month!!! SO EXCITING (especially in the month of December)!!!! Anyway, this is part 2... if you haven't check out part 1, you can check it here :)

Salmon Mental (RM6.50). Kaisen Cheese Salad (seafood) (RM5.80). Tamago (RM2.00). 
>They serve the best & tastiest salmon mentai (according to friend).

Garlic fried rice (RM10++)
> Apparently not as good as Sakae sushi's. Doesn't have enough garlic taste. Expensive for a plate like this.

Kani Avocado Salad (RM14.80)
>Crab meat, avocado and fresh vegetables. The salad is just...okay. Vegetable tasted reallllyyy bitter.

Spider Salad Roll (RM11.80)
>Soft shell crab and lettuce roll. It's actually spicy (**for those who don't eat chili)... tasted okay... If you love soft shell crab, you probably would like this dish

Ebi Don (RM14.80)
>the prawn looked.. soggy after the sauce and egg that was topped on the prawn. But if you're a 'fan tong' , you can try ordering the other types of donburi available 


Sawara Crunchy Roll (RM16.80)
-Spanish Mackerel Crunchy Roll

> I personally didn't really like it... too fishy taste. But other people loved it... it's on the special menu! Go try it?

Dai Dai Roll (RM15.80)
> I thought this dish was pretty good. Although they SHOULD write the other ingredients in the dish on the menu. My friend ate and she had to drink lotsa water to get rid of the 'spicy' taste. You see that green sauce there? yeah, it's wasabi. HOWEVER, it wasn't that super strong wasabi taste. It actually tasted really good. No wonder they call it 'dai dai roll'= die die (hot dish) LOL

Overall, 7/10
The quality is not too bad. But i feel like their standards have dropped a little. 

Merry Christmas, 
and have a great week guys!

Square dotz

This cosy little (not quite little) cafe is located in ss2, it's a corner house actually instead of the shop lots in the 'ss2 square', it's opposite chemopharm that row, and this shop is not that hard to miss. This shop has two floors, not so much seats downstairs but more upstairs. I think they have some kinda open mic at night? Not too sure though, went there for lunch only.



They have really cute drawings and stuff around the house! 


Probably you could propose to someone here? Hahha.



Chicken mushroom carbonara pasta. It wasn't too bad but it wasn't memorable.


Bacon pasta, same as the other pasta.


Top: Chicken with mashpotatoes and mushroom with vege. The chicken was okay but I think they could be more generous with the sides.
Bottom: Shepherd's pie. I don't recommend this dish.... not much flavour at all and..... I don't think it's even a pie...


Tiramisu, it was okay as well.


Panna cotta! This was mocha flavour if I was not mistaken. It's something like pudding? But not really. A smooth texture and yeah it was my first time trying so not much comments.

I think this place is suitable for people who wanna chill and chat with friends or do their work cause the place is really bright and cosy :)

You can check out their fb page here.
