The BAR°N @ One Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur

Looking at the interior and decor of The Barn, one would think it will be a pricey affair dining here. 

The place indeed looks exquisite and the ambience here is quite cozy. 

One would be impressed with the decoration they have here. 

Interesting decor of this lights. I wondered if this is the real thing? 

The Barn's Menu.  

Quite a number of selections to choose from. 

Aglio Olio with Crispy Pork Belly (RM21.90). Love the crispy pork belly, it was indeed cripsy and yummy. For those who are not into spicy food, I would not recommend this dish. I was surprise that this dish was actually spicy. 

Grilled Salmon (RM30.9). Great healthy selections (except for the sinful mash potato with it's gravy).  It was grilled to perfection. Yummy!

Throughly enjoyed my meals here. Pricing wise is reasonable, depending on the selection you choose. Love the ambience here. Great for get together and for those who loves a glass of wine here.

Birthday Celebration at Rakuzen @ Tropicana City Mall

A while back we hold a birthday surprise for a sweet dear friend. Fortunately my friend didn't suspect anything since we tricked her into believing that I have something to share with her and we have to meet up for lunch so that I could tell her personally. Our get together and birthday celebration was held at Rakuzen. :)

Arrived a little earlier and managed to get a private room. More privacy for us gals...especially if we're going to sing a birthday song later. 

Once everyone arrived, it took us a while to order since we were busy chatting away even though we were browsing the menu for quite sometime. 

And also snapping some pictures here and there. 

It was tough deciding what to order because there were so many to choose from. 

The birthday girl opted for something not too filling so she ordered the Claypot Udon & California Roll Set (RM38). 

Yup...another photo session again. Haha. 

Ms E have the Sashimi & Grilled Fish Set (RM38).

Ms J ordered the Grilled Fish Set (RM23). 

While I on the other hand ordered the Sashimi & Grilled Chicken Set (RM38), the same set I ordered on my last blog post. 

Fried Chiba Radish & Prawn (RM20), nice and crispy.

Group pic with our sets on the table.

Somehow the table look a bit smaller with all the food. LOL 

After our meal, it was time to bring out the cake. Birthday girl didn't suspect anything until the staff bought in the cake. 

My friend looked surprised as she didn't expect us to remember her birthday...which of course it was an accomplishment for all of us :) 

Overall the experience here have been great. The service was excellent as the service crew had been quite attentive to our request.  

To end this blog post, a group pic of all of us girls. :)

Petrol Price Increase.....Again

Yup...another 20 sen increase per litre, effectively hiking the fuel at the pumps after midnight tonight. As always, our so called 'government' decided to announce the news much later (like always) and most of us only know about it much later in the evening. 

After dinner, accompanied my mum to the nearest Petronas and found a long line of motorists queue up to fill up their vehicles with petrol. 

Fortunately for us, we only waited for less than 15 minutes before our turn so it wasn't that bad. And the most interesting is...payment can only be made by cash since transactions by credit card is currently offline. 

When we left, we can see the stretch of cars queuing outside the petrol station, which of course causing a bit of jam nearby. I'm sure all Petrol Station will most probably be swamped with motorist.  

Sigh...with the petrol price increase, I'm sure there will be a price hike on loads of things in the time to come. I cannot  imagine when GST starts next year! >.<
