Lunch & Dessert at The Waterfront - Desa Park City

I've finally get to meet up with two of my close friends whom I've not met since the lockdown. We decided to have our small reunion at The Waterfront Desa Park City. 

We have our lunch at Amelio Cafe. 

Grand Birthday Dinner @ The Jaya Palace Restaurant 皇宫海鲜酒家, Wisma LYL, PJ

Today we have a small gathering to celebrate my aunt's 90th birthday. This year my cousin decided to have the dinner held at the Jaya Palace Restaurant.

While we were here there was a wedding held at the restaurant.

My cousin had made a reservation and have it in a room so that we can have our privacy. It's only a small gathering with 4 tables.

Dishes had been reserved ahead. 

Once everyone arrived, 'Life Five Senses Platter' were served.

This dish turned out to be five plates of starter!

Fish cake & fried prawn is delicious!

Next came two plates with Char Siew, Siew Yoke & duck meat....

...followed by squid. 

This dish is also a part of the starters. 

Spending The Eve with the Family at Pasta Zanmai @ 1 Mont Kiara Mall

That wraps up the end of 2019. I can’t believe in few hours it will be 2020. Tonight not much of activity other than having a quiet & simple dinner with the family :)

We came early to have dinner at Pasta Zanmai because we were worried that it will be crowded since it’s the eve. 

Surprisingly there weren’t any crowds when we were here so we were able to sit freely. 

Checking out the December Special. 

Too bad it’s the last day for this special though. 

Eight @ Mansion | Happy Mansion, Section 17

My cousin often goes to Happy Mansion for dinner with my aunt. Last week while she was there she came across a newly opened restaurant. She went to check out the menu and suggested we come here for dinner at Eight@Mansion.  

It was a last-minute decision and the place was full when we arrived. Best to make a reservation if you decide to come here. Fortunately for us, we were able to get a table.

We wanted to try the pork ribs but it was sold out 😔 

We were a bit disappointed but ordered other dishes to try. 
(my handwriting is horrible so I blur it out 😁)

Help yourself to the water (self-service). 

Mushroom soup (RM17). When it came we were a bit surprised....because the bowl was huge while the portion of the soup was quite small 😅 Despite the small portion, the soup was pretty good. 

Bacon & Peanut Pork Burger (RM22) 

Teriyaki Pork Burger (RM20)

Pretty good homemade miso infused pork patty. 

Carbonara (RM28) - creamy and rich 😋

Grilled Salmon Fillet (RM38) Salmon was cooked perfectly and goes great with the salad. 

A healthy option for those who are watching their calories 😁 

It would be ideal to make a reservation beforehand, as well for the pork ribs. Currently they're only accepting cash payment but they're in the process of getting the payment terminal. Overall the food is delicious and the service is good. Should come back to try their pork ribs.

Ichiriki Japanese Restaurant @ The Gardens Mall

It's been a while since I have tonkatsu and decided to check out Ichiriki Japanese restaurant which specialized in tonkatsu. 

They were having this opening promotion when we were here. 

The interior of the restaurant is pretty spacious and cozy. The only thing we dislike was the light that was right above us, which we find a bit too glaring for our eyes.  

Ichiriki has several set menu to choose from, as well as ala carte.

Lunch Special at "The Barn" @ Mid Valley Megamall

Last week I went to 'The Barn' in Mid Valley for lunch. 

The restaurant was quite empty when we came here on a weekday. 

Love the vibes & atmosphere in this restaurant.

I'm certain that the place is busy during the weekends and at night.

Japanese Cuisine at Harumi 23 @ Plaza Arkadia (Desa Park City)

A friend suggested Japanese cuisine for a change instead of our usual western big breakfast. I was up for it since my friend offered to pick me up and head over to Harumi 23 at Desa Park City.

I called the restaurant to book a reservation since we came on a weekend.  

There were available seats when we came on a Saturday for lunch (around 1pm).

A variety of drinks but we only have green tea since we wanted to make room for more food 😁

I think we went overboard with the order for 2 people 😅

The first dish to be served is the Mentai Tamago (RM12). It looks simple but tastes so good. It reminds me of the egg omelet I had at the Tsujiki fish market in Japan. I would love to have this with rice if we didn't order too many dishes. 

Crispy Salmon Skin Salada (RM26). 

The salad comes with sesame dressing. 

The salmon skin is okay although it's not as crispy as I wanted it to be. 

Sushi Tei @ 3 Damansara Shopping Mall

Got together with a friend at Sushi Tei for lunch. 

Noted on weekdays the crowds are lesser as compared to weekends.

And there's lunch set which is exclusive only on weekdays.

Their dessert menu looks tempting 😍

'Soft Shell Carb Maki' (RM15.40) is a must when I'm here...

....followed by 'Golden Roll' - King Prawn sushi roll topped with mango (RM15.85 for Small).

Chuka Kurage (RM4.90).
