Tony Roma's @ Cineleisure Damansara

Tony Roma's American origin is quite obvious in the way the restaurant's interior is designed. A dark interior served as a reminder to those American dramas portraying bars. Even so, there is ample lighting for patrons to see their surroundings, to navigate around, and to avoid throwing a wink at the wrong person by mistake. It would be interesting to say that the beverages of Tony Roma's most intrigued me. With names like Caramel Apple Cooler and Cranberry Mojito, it would be hard not to have my interest piqued, especially when I had no idea what the name meant without the details offered below each item. I chose Mojo Chicken as our main dish and was not disappointed by the dish. "Mojo" is related to magic, and I would agree with the taste of this dish being magical. Lined with tropical pineapple, the slightly tangerine taste crunching with each bite makes you hunger for more.

Madam Soon @ E-Gate

Full review and more photos available at the following link: http://draftsfromcoffeetable.blogspot.sg/2011/08/madam-soon-new-concept-of-spring.html When I entered the joint, I find the deco very familiar, and the blackboard facing the entrance told me why. Even the sign at the entrance showed me why the joint looked exceptionally familiar to me. If you were a frequent visitor to E-Gate, then you may recall a cafe in the past known as The Spring. Madam Soon was, as was stated on the sign at the entrance, a new concept of The Spring, although how it was a new concept was beyond me. The drinks off Madam Soon's menu are the usual variety you get off any other similar cafés, but I do note a few unusual ones. I asked for Blueberry and Lime Crush, which texture resembles ice blend a lot, and is quite sweet. The taste of blueberry is obvious but I did not get any taste of lime; still this is a cooling beverage to satisfy my sweet tooth. If you are not tolerant to sweet stuff, then you can always order something more healthy, like soya milk. Desserts are up for order as well, and there are a variety of them in the menu, which mainly consists of Chinese desserts. My friends got themselves some Peanut Paste, and it really is a paste... The dessert is too thick and viscous, and resembles peanut butter more than dessert. I loved the Braised Garlic Pork Ribs which I ordered for myself. The taste of garlic was mild, but the dish was braised until the pork was soft and chewy, soaking up the sauce and retaining it within. The ribs came with lean and fat portions both, and I enjoyed both parts equally.

Sugar Dynasty @ Jalan Nagor

The full article and more photos are available here: http://draftsfromcoffeetable.blogspot.sg/2011/06/sugar-dynasty.html So what can one dine in a Chinese dessert shop? Of course Sugar Dynasty does offer choices of main dishes as well, so its patrons can either dine in and request for dessert later, or just visit the shop after their dinner somewhere else to sample its dessert. For patrons dining around the area, they can ask for the dessert to be delivered to the dinning spot as well, as Sugar Dynasty has an understanding with the owners around Nagore Road. If you are not sure, do ask the shop owner in which you are dining in about this, and if the owner disagrees to it, you can always visit Sugar Dynasty after your dinner. Except for a certain few choices, most of the dishes in the menu are offered as set meals, which is what I loved about it. All are served with a cup of herbal tea as long as they are listed as available as set meals. The reason that I loved these fried dishes from Sugar Dynasty is that they are generously served with button mushrooms and prawns, the former of which is my favorite and the latter is rarely served nowadays. The dishes are neither large nor small, leaving just enough to stuff yourself with desserts later on. Of course, what is the point of a dessert shop without its share of dessert? Sugar Dynasty has 2 kinds of desserts, the warm ones and the cold ones; if you are not sure, the waiter is always happy to answer your question.

Restoran Kin Kin @ Pandan Indah

Each bowl is served dry with poached egg, minced meat (pork), 'chu yao char' (lard fritter), 'ikan bilis' (Anchovy) and a small separate bowl of vegetables with egg soup.

Kedai Kopi Hai Peng @ Chukai

Known to be a very popular place for pit-stop by travelers. The kopitiam is always filled with people with aroma of food and coffee. Service is relatively slow though and are slightly pricy yet quality of food is good.

Yut Kee Kopitiam 鎰記茶餐室 @ Jalan Dang Wangi

Since a child, my parents would bring me to Yut Kee after church as we love the food here. Till now, at least 15 years had passed, we still come here whenever we're down in KL or just craving for their chicken chop or fish chop, the gravy is just superb - at least I've haven't tasted elsewhere as good as this. I've recommended this place to many friends and all of them loved it. You just gotta order the Must Try like Roti Babi, Pork Roll, Swiss roll, French Tost, etc...
