Ben's, Publika

I was at Ben's the other day for breaking fast, with my other girl friend. I love this place, the atmosphere, the people. I just find that their service could be improved, other than that this is a place to go to!

Spaghettini Carbonara
Just perfect. Not too creamy, just perfect really.

Beef Lasagna
This was so good as well but it's very filling. The first few bites will taste heavenly but when you've eaten half, it needs some work - it'll feel like you have to force yourself. You probably have to be realllllyyy hungry in order to finish it. Better idea, pretend this meal is for two - so next time you're with your friend just share it and split the bill. (no wastage and you get to save money for desserts!)

Tony Romas, E@Curve

I went to Tony Romas with my colleague during our lunch break. I don't have any high expectations when I set my foot in Tony Romas, they're food are sub-par and no matter which outlet you go to they're always lacking in service. I personally think if you want to have a good meal at Tony Romas, I'd say only go there if you're planning to have the ribs.


BBQ 1/2 Chicken
I'll just let the picture speaks for itself. I'll just add the chicken was overcooked.

Chicken Caprese Pasta
The pasta was mediocre, nothing to shout about.

The Red Beanbag, Publika

I was browsing on the net to find somewhere new to eat when I stumble upon a review on The Red Beanbag. It definitely caught my attention.

I went there thinking that I'm going to give their breakfast menu a try but then, I ended up ordering something else.

Crustacean Cousin
I love pasta. I love prawns. I love scallops. When I saw this on the menu, I just knew I had to have it but because it's quite pricey compared to the others I thought it'd be better if I ordered something else. In the end, after I don't know? Staring at the menu for 20 minutes unable to decide which dish I wanted - I finally gave up and asked Meor to help me choose and I think he can tell that I wanted to order the Crustacean Cousin so he told me to just go ahead and order it :)

When the food arrived, I didn't expect the portion to be as small as it was. I didn't mind because I never finish my food due to the ever big portion that many Malaysian restaurants serve so with this small portion, I wouldn't end up wasting any food but I know most of their customers might complain due to the pricing.

It felt like a casual fine dining café - I'm not sure if that actually makes any sense.

Sumo

Meor ordered this one. I'm not a fan of poached egg but I love Salmon and not to mention the Potato Rosti! I took a bite and did my very best not to let my cutleries touch the egg. I loved the crispiness of the Rosti, the Salmon could have been better though, the fishy smell was quite strong.

The portion for this dish was fairly small as well. I wasn't sure what I was doing, but I wanted to have a few more bites of the Rosti but as I looked at his plate he has already finished it all of! His plate was spotless clean. I still can't believe he finished it off without offering me one last bite haha.

I plan to come here again to try their other dishes :)

D'italiane, Sunway Giza

I went here at the last minute after work. I don't know why I chose this place, it was very random of me.
Al Fungi Aglio Olio
My mum ordered this one. I wish I ordered it cause it was so good. It was so simple yet so delicious.

Braised Whole Leg with Brown Sauce
I expected this to be better than it actual was. I didn't like the potatoes, it didn't compliment either one of the chicken nor the mushroom. The brown sauce tasted off, couldn't really put my finger on what went wrong with this dish. I was disappointed and wouldn't order this again the next time I go here.
