Sour Soup Vermicelli

We brought some friends to try out Pho Vietz at Sri Petaling and this time I ordered the Sour Soup Vermicelli which has 3 prawns in it and it is more spicy than sour (MYR22.90+ which is MYR25.20 nett).

We also ordered the 3 layered drink and a pot of Atiso (Artichoke) Tea at MYR7.90+ (MYR8.70 nett) each. The Atiso Tea has a nice fragrance. Our friends agreed that the 3 layered drink is like drinking undiluted coconut milk, it is that thick so we have to wait for the ice cubes to melt for the drink to be diluted.

With Beef Pho and Pork Chop rice, the total bill is MYR104.95 nett for 4 pax.

Olive Garden

Olive Garden at Midvalley Mall offers a lunch set menu where the main dish is accompanied by salad, soup, a drink and unlimited breadsticks so 3 of us went there for our weekday lunch.

The salad for the 3 of us was served in one big bowl instead of 3 individual salad bowls. We were given 4 breadsticks in round 1 and we did not ask for refills. The breadsticks were soft instead of crunchy breadsticks so they should be called bread rolls instead.

I chose beef soup and both of my friends chose chicken soup. All 3 of us ordered the seafood pasta (prawns, scallops and mussels) at MYR24.90++ (10% service charge and 6% GST making it MYR29 nett). After eating the breadstick, salad, soup and because I wanted to eat dessert, I kept all my pasta inside my container to eat during dinner. There were many thick slices of potatoes with skin in the beef soup so I was very full from eating all the potatoes.

All 3 of us ordered Lipton iced tea without the ice cubes. Only me alone ordered an add on dolcini (mini dessert) of strawberry and white chocolate cake at MYR5.90++ (MYR6.80 nett) so I spent a total of about MYR36 for lunch and dinner.

My dolcini (Mini dessert) with white chocolate on top, layered with cream, strawberry pieces in strawberry jam and cubes of cakes. Of course it was sweet but I like the strawberry taste so it sort of makes the sweetness more bearable.

Olive Garden at Midvalley Mall. It is located next to Madam Kwan.

Our total bill for 3 is about MYR94.

The pasta which I ate for dinner on the same day. Still very tasty!

Nouveau 7

I was accompanying a friend at 10 Boulevard (along Sprint Highway near Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara) for an errand during lunch time so we randomly walked into a bar/eatery (Nouveau 7) when we saw a signboard advertising set lunches with drinks at MYR15 nett each. I chose a pork burger with a hot honey lemon drink. Nouveau is the French word for New.

There were a lot of raw onion rings and tomatoes slices in the burger. The minced pork patty was very thin and soft but acceptable. For MYR15 nett, I don't expect much so this lunch is considered ok.

Mutton Murtabak

Mutton Murtabak - MYR7.50++ (5% service charge and 6% GST making it MYR8.35 nett). Quite tasty with the minced mutton fillings but some people may find the mutton taste too strong for them.

Plain Tosai - MYR2.90++ (MYR3.25 nett). This is light eating as the Tosai is thin and will be finished in no time at all. A bit sourish so I like its taste.

Nasi Lemak Beef Rendang - MYR9.48++ (MYR10.55 nett). This nasi lemak beef rendang is better priced than the one we had at Warung and Nyonya Colors. 

Teh Tarik Place has many outlets in many shopping malls but we only like to go to the one in the Curve because it is airy and spacious.

Canton Kitchen

Patin fish in claypot. The dark head looked scary.

Whole steamed village chicken. Most people prefer to eat this chicken with the ginger dip that was provided.

Wild boar curry. Very flavourful. 

Tian Qi Leaves. Anyone knows what vegetable this is? 

Claypot bean curd. Easy to eat dish.

Mushrooms stir-fried with vegetables. I like to eat the mushrooms.

13 at a table.

A fairly new restaurant in Happy Garden.

Location

Kimchi

This time the lotus roots have been replaced by mayonnaise macaroni.

My set lunch - beef slices mixed vegetable rice at about MYR18 plus minus.

Later my friend gave me all the ingredients from her kimchi soup so I had another round of food which I couldn't finish so I took them home for dinner in my container.

Anyone

Finally I was able to eat at Annie 1 yesterday and order from their Wednesday's special lunch menu. All 3 of us went for item 2 (Sweet and Sour Mince Pork Pattie Rice Set) at MYR7.80+ 6% GST (MYR8.30 nett).

I have seen this lunch set when PH wrote about it so the above is what I expected.

As I like the taste of tomato sauce and potatoes, I find this meal very satisfying and think that the price of MYR8.30 nett is affordable. So it was no surprise that I finished everything on the plate.
