The Garden NOM by renaelyng
Dolly Dim Sum
Dolly Dim Sum is our modern interpretation of a traditional Chinese teahouse.
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsTo be honest, since this place is a Halal Dim Sum eatery, gNOMe 2 was pretty surprised that it fared rather well. The ambiance for dining was pleasant and the service was commendable. Stick to the steam Dim Sums and you will never go wrong. Only one setback, a tad too pricey on the tag.
Go Thai Thai Restaurant
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsA new place to go Thai (pun intended) if one is seeking for a new place to dine in. The food is alright overall, & we felt that they have more potential room to grow and improve.
Metal Box Cafe
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsAlthough the bill came up to about close to RM60, but we felt every penny was oh-so-worth it. Nevertheless, the gNOMes will definitely swing by again in the future for a hearty breakfast. Interesting menu with an exquisite touch coupled with fresh ingredients is a recipe for hearty breakfasts/brunches.
3 Bags Full (Kota Damansara)
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsOddly enough, the winner for the night was the duck pasta. Hearing the name, one would’ve expected a little more of lamb or mutton in the menu. However only 2 lamb dishes or so were found. Perhaps improvement in the consistency of their meat and seasoning would make things better.
Shell Out Seafood Restaurant
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsThis place gets all the marks for excellent customer service. Even on a busy festive day they apologized profusely to us for not being able to serve us better, and even threw in a discount as well! Taste-wise, just excellent. Perhaps the food might have been a little on the salty side, but the gNOMes were too busy licking their fingers for it to matter. Price-wise, surprisingly reasonable for a seafood place. The gNOMes will definitely be back again! This time, hopefully they will go easy on the salt!
Chequers
Chequers serve handmade Waffles using premium local & seasonal ingredients set in a fun and whimsical atmosphere.
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsIronically, the best food the gNOMes tasted was a non-waffle dish. Interesting idea, but perhaps the price isn’t too worth what you get. We hope they will improve as time goes by!
Hock Lai Bak Kut Teh
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsTaste-wise, this is slightly more mild than that of their other competitors like Teluk Pulai, the price was rather affordable as well considering we had 5 people all-in-all. A nice place to have your Bak Kut Teh when one is sick and tired of squeezing with the crowd.
Little Fat Duck
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsOverall, not a place that the gNOMes would return to anytime soon. We hope to see some improvement. Did we mention that this place ironically sells no duck? For those trying to go easy on the wallet, no complaints whatsoever, this is the place to be.
BreadFruits
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsWant to eat tasty food while not feeling guilty? Tired of spending ridiculous amounts of money on healthy food? Look no further than this place. While you are at it, get yourself a fruit juice to make a happy healthy gNOMe!
Oinkz Burger
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsGreat burgers and equally as good starters. Caramelized onions are.
Watami
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsThe sets while looking costly (within the RM30++ range) is actually quite worthwhile considering the portions will leave your tummy full. If one is looking for a filling Japanese meal, do try it out sometime!
Uncle Tetsu’s Cheesecake @ 1 Utama
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsThe cake melts in your mouth the moment you consume it. The cheesiness is also the right amount. A fragrant cake that is worth eating, provided you have at least 1-2 hours to spare waiting.
Delifrance @ Avenue K
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsDelifrance has always done what it does best – Pastries and cakes. Amongst the Christmas menu though, the ones we felt who took home the prizes were the sandwiches. Being at one of the highest floors of Avenue K, it’s a nice quiet place to chill with friends.
Washoku Den Den
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsOverall this place had decent Japanese food, nevertheless the gNOMes did not feel that the price was worth the taste. The ambiance is cosy though, and the service is decent.
Hokano
Hokano serves various Japanese food ranging from premium salmon teriyaki to assorted of sushi rolls.The main specialty is Hokano roll.
renaelyng posted thegardennom.wordpress.com 76 ReviewsThe gNOMes felt that the prices here were not worth it for the quality of food received. If such prices were to be maintained, the gNOMes expect a lot more.
