Star Village @ Desa Aman Puri



 
  
We have recently visited Star Village for dinner. Their branch at Desa Aman Puri is quite new, easy to locate and find parking. Decoration of the restaurant was very nice. I did not expect to see such a place in the neighborhood. If you visit them on Valentines day, they decorate the place well with love shaped balloons and make the environment very cozy. 

 

As we entered the restaurant, it was quite packed. But we managed to get their last empty table just in-front of the soup corner. And went straight to ordering our food.

Fresh Lemon Juice: RM 5.90
Ice Lemon Tea: RM 5.90 

We have ordered Fresh Lemon Juice and Ice Lemon Tea. The drinks were pretty decent. It had a strong Lemon taste.

Mushroom Soup: RM 8.80

Since we were seated just in-front of the mushroom soup, we decided to give this a try. They have few types of soups. However, Mushroom soup is their best seller. It was staged right in front of the kitchen and served directly to customers. The soup was quite thick and well prepared.

Crispy Fried Cuttle Fish: RM13.90

Crispy Fried Cuttle Fish, in sort Fried Squid.  This dish was tasty and deep fried to the right level of crispness.


Lamb Chop Mint Sauce: RM22.90

The Lamb Chop was very disappointing. All three Lamb chops I received were extremely thin and was filled with bones. I had a hard time eating it. This dish came with two side dishes, Fries and Salad.  Fries and Salads had decent taste.

Grilled Chicken Chop with Black Paper Sauce: RM 19.90

Chicken Chop looked good and it had same side dishes as Lamb Chop. Taste wise it was a lot better compare to Lamb Chop.

Overall, our experience at the Start Village was good. I would visit them again, probably will not order their Lamb Chops next time. If you are in Desa Aman Puri, do give this place a try.

Tigerlily - Thai Restaurant @ Damansara City Mall




While strolling around DC mall, we happened upon a trendy and modern looking restaurant serving Thai food. We passed by it many a times before, but this time, we were here to taste their food. They serves pork-free items and their prices are very affordable. 

Decorations of this restaurant is quite impressive. As you enter, you will be greeted into an atmosphere of a modern casual dining establishment. 

We have made our order from their set meals. All sets comes with a starter dish and a drink. Our order was Thai Green Curry Chicken Rice and Thai Red Curry Mee with Chicken sets.

I wanted to taste their Thai Icea Tea, but being under the weather decided to order Lemongrass Tea. Tea was  nice, it was not too sweet like I expected based on my experience.

 Lemongrass Tea

 Thai Fish Cake


 Green Curry Chicken with Rice Set : RM 20.50

Green Curry Chicken was underwhelming, taste was not what I have expected from this place. Thai fish cake was actually just fried fish balls it decent taste.


Crispy Wanton

 
Thai Red Curry Mee with Chicken Set : RM 19.50

Curry Mee was better than the Green Curry Chicken and portion was quite big. It is not something we can get in most thai resturents in KL.


Overall, my experience at Tigerlily was not so good with taste of the food. However, their service was okay.

Hallelujah Langkawi Cruises @ Langkawi


While visiting Langkawi on our last trip, we have decided to take a private yacht for an evening. After some research, we came across Hallelujah Yacht.  Hospitality provided by Captain Hugo and his wife Joanna was great. The cruise was well maintained, cleaned and fully licensed to take groups cruising. It was a unique private day out around the island starting with the safety briefing by our Captain, through the sunset till the end of the cruise. We took their Private Sunset Cruise, it was RM 240 per pax in a group of 10 pax.

 


Food served during our journey was prepared by Joana, an awesome cook as reviewed by many. Variety of delicious food was served. There were many options for drinks as well, such as wine, beer, whiskey, juice or cocktails.

Below are some of the items prepared by Joanna.

Chicken Curry

 Roasted Chicken

 White Rice
 Mee Hoon Noodles

 Somtam (Green papaya salad)

 Noddles with Seafood

 Bok Choi

 Potato Salad

 Cucumber Salad

Sauce for the great food

 Red Wine

There were more items, but I have misplaced some of my pictures. For a good cruising experience in Langkawi, this is the perfect choice. For more information of Hallelujah, you may contact them from their website.

Keong Kee Restaurant @ Imbi




Keong Kee Restaurant serves a handful of Chinese herbal food, this place is located just across the street from Shaw Parade. One of the best parts about the location of this restaurant is that it is located right next to an open parking.


 Pak Choy


Wild Boar Curry

Wild Boar Curry is a must order dish while visiting Keong Kee Restaurant. This is one of the best wild boar curry I have ever had in KL. For those of you who are planning to pay a visit and have visited, but have not dry this dish, do not forget to try the Wild Boar Curry there.

 White Rice

 Chinese Tea 




I cannot recall the exact price for the items I have ordered, but it was very affordable. 

Overall, I am very satisfied with the food served here. I will be visiting them again if I am around that area.

Zombie Seafood @ Kepong




Last weekend, we visited Zombie Seafood for dinner. Plenty of choices to choose from the menu. ShellOut lovers rejoice as they serve it here too. They have a big screen in front just for the times when there is a football match, at other times the ambience is matched with Latin beats.

This place deserves credit for its price on the dishes. We have decided to order their Chicken Paprik, which is Spicy Chicken Stir Fry Malaysian Style and Mee curry (Yellow noddles with soup).

Mee Curry Seafood: RM 15


Chicken Paprik: RM 7

The chicken paprik was flavourful and the sauce was mouth-watering thick.

My impression of the Mee Curry Seafood was surprising, for the generous amount of ingredients they put in a bowl. The soup has a thick broth, brimming with natural sweetness of seafood.

 Ice lemon Tea

Overall, you could find good and filling of local dishes here at a very reasonable price and I will definitely return for more.

Amphawa Thai Tea & Co @ MyTown




Amphawa is more than just tea, they serve an assortment of authentic rice noodles with tom yum soup. Their eatery offers many Thai street food such as Thai dessert, tom yam bowls and Thai tea.

Portion wise, most of their dishes are quite small, you might need to order another bowl to make it full dinner or lunch.




Amphawa Signature: RM 7.90 

Tom Yum Squid: RM 9.90

From our orders, the Amphawa Signature contains two prawns and half of an egg with rice noodles and Tom Yum Squid comes with a few pieces of squids and rice noodles. Tom yam was a lot spicier compared to most Thai food places in Klang Valley area.  It was full with rich and milky flavour.



Mango Sticky Rice: RM 11.90

Their dessert menu includes the Mango Sticky Rice, Coconut Ice Cream (RM 9.90) and Milk Tea Kaya Toast (RM 6.90). I have decided to order my favourite Mango Sticky Rice. When my order was ready I was disappointed to see the portion, it looked quite different from the picture on the menu. I was expecting a decent portion as shown on the menu. 

Overall, food was decent and Amphawa Thai Tea & Co has many outlets in Klang Valley. It can be a good choice for supper.
