On The Table @Solaris Dutamas

-
It's her birthday again!!! After 4 years of friendship, we are quite bored of having a two person dinner especially for her, because she is a person who likes crowd. So this time, I arranged a birthday dinner at a restaurant called, On The Table which is opened by our famous local Chef Wan's son, Chef Mohd Nadzri Redzuawan who also known as Chef Riz. This restaurant is located at the newly developed area called Solaris Dutamas.

We do not have much mutual friends after 4 years of friendship so I am inviting every single mutual friends that I could to give her an unforgettable birthday. I am very blessed that all our mutual friends are able to join for her birthday even we had quite a hiccup locating this newly developed area.

Yes, I am purposely not telling you who is birthday girl and let you guess among here. Who do you think it should be? =)
A great ceiling deco just right above our table. 
Nicely decorated restaurant which makes the food extra delicious.
You do not need a large spoon for our food, my dear.
X'mas season is just around the corner and this nicely decorated Christmas tree is just adding on the groove in our mood.
Hahaha, Yan...that's a naughty move.
60c Chicken Caesar Salad @RM23.00++ 
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 4/5 - Very colorful bowl of salad. I love the way they decorated it. Pretty clever combination by having bread crumbs, mushrooms and an egg with the yellow yolk prepare to be poked and flood the whole salad.Yummy!

A great food presentation for a normal mushroom soup. When we tasted it, it was not normal at all.
Cappuccino of Wild Mushroom @RM23.00++
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - Probably the best mushroom soup that I ever had and the best I ever blog here. Creamy and fragrant run through your mouth which you will be reluctant to swallow them. The mushrooms are well grilled to accompany with the soup. I wish everyone has one their own instead of sharing because it is obviously NOT ENOUGH!!!

Veloute of Butternut Pumpkin @RM28.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - A very thick pumpkin soup with a smooth butter taste. The scallops in the centre are so big and delicious. Well made crispy biscuits to accompany with the soup. Another sensational soup.

Frutti Di Mare Pizza @RM48.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - Scallops, clams, squid and big prawns are all over it!!! Can't you see?? All my favorite seafood making their appearance in a pizza which is well served for 8 pax. Very thin and crispy crust. Loving every bite of it. It is quite a bit of nuisance when we have to remove the clam and prawn shell.

Penne Boscaiola @RM36.00++
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 1/5
Overall: 3/5 - Very delicious and special to me because used with olive oil, tomato paste and creamy sauce. However, I still prefer Carbonara. One thing I do not understand why is this pasta so expensive because they are not seafood and mostly I can eat is mushrooms. Unless the meat they served is a turkey instead of chicken which I earlier thought to be so.

Silver Cod @RM60.00++
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 2/5
Price: 1/5
Overall: 3/5 - Even though the overall taste of this dish is quite bad especially the garlic rice underneath it which is badly prepared because of the unevenly taste of the garlic and saltiness, I have to give the 2 marks for the fish because I like the way it melts in my mouth. However, there are quite plenty of fish bones come along with it. Quite a letdown.

Mee Goreng Mamak @RM18.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 1/5
Price: 1/5
Overall: 2/5 - Probably the worst dish for that night. 1 mark is for the prawn. The noodles is just too spicy for us to take. I am a person who really can take spicy food but this well beyond my level of acceptance. It is spoiling my appetite and the taste of the previous great food that I had.

Chocolate Fondant @RM21.00++
Outlook: 5/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - Usually we will see the ice cream will be put on top or together with a hot chocolate cake but this one is separated. Quite unique. The chocolate cake is extremely delicious. Hot chocolate fudge melting out and the perfect thing it is not too sweet. Nice! Thank you, On The Table because this is a complimentary dessert for our birthday girl.

This is the birthday girl! Did you guess it correctly? Hehe..her name is Ailin See.
Tiramisu Chocolate Cake with Cashew Nuts by Sinfully Chocolate
They are in heaven I guess after all those meals.
As always, let's wrap up this great dinner with a group photo. Special thanks to (from right): Serene Tan, Samantha Lee and Carmen Tye for making their night available.
In conclusion, some of their food are superbly good but some are really disappointed us at some point. I think their main dishes are in need of some improvements. However, we enjoyed a lot because we are here not just to fill in our stomach but to share the laughter and joy together on the special date with a special someone. This is just an extremely enjoyable dinner session for all of us. Me, as the organizer can never be happier when able to see the person I invited are happy.


P.S: I hope we can have a trip with the same all of us in one day. Hopefully is not a dream. =D


Total Damage: RM257.40 (not inclusive the cake)
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Food Serving Speed: Fast
Will I Revisit?: When I hear some improvement on their main course by other bloggers.

It is my day with my little princess, Ying Ying. She is getting cuter every single day. We had our own sweet time at Coliseum Cafe & Grill Room. This restaurant has been operating since 1921 and this is the first time after 92 years, they started to branch out their restaurant to Plaza 33 and Mid Valley. This restaurant has clinched Malaysia Book of Records award for the "Longest Operating Western Colonial - Themed Restaurant. Their first ever restaurant is at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.  It is not easy to sustain this long. They surely has their uniqueness in their menu to keep their customers happy. One of the reason is they are pork free restaurant. This easily encourage Malay citizens which stands more than 70% in Malaysia to enjoy western food in this restaurant.

Champ's Bowling Centre, Sandakan

-
Image
Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL.  Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government ta...

Penang famous with their local foods and that is the reason there are a lot of hawker center at Penang. One of them is at Jalan MacAlister.

Restoran Yu Hing, Kota Kinabalu

-
Image
By the appearance of it, Restoran Yu Hing definitely doesn't look appealing enough to become a tourist spot for you as your dining choice. However, I am still going to introduce to you their noodle. They do serve other variety of food but something worth to be here is only their noodle which is known as Beaufort Fried Noodle. Beaufort is a name of a town in Sabah. This is their very own local delicacies which you won't find it easily at any part of Malaysia or even Sabah. You have to be either in Kota Kinabalu or Beaufort to experience it. We can even hardly able to find a table in this run-down looking restaurant which already suggest that how good they are. Beaufort Fried Noodle @RM9.70 Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 - Still a common looking noodle to you which does not convince you why I am purposely creating a post just to introduce it? You have to come visit for yourself then. I think the same too when it is displayed right in f...

After Magnum has hit Midvalley City and got a tremendous response from it, this time they hit Putrajaya in IOI City Mall. This exciting ice cream house is making Putrajaya a whole lots livelier with their irresistible ice cream selection.  If you plan to eat their single magnum stick, you only can take away. If you are planning to dine in, you have to order their other creative collections of ice cream. If you are choosing their magnum stick, you can choose a chocolate ice cream or a vanilla ice cream and then pampered yourself a series of exciting and saliva-dripping toppings. For your information, you only can choose 3 toppings. Any additional toppings will be charged separately. I know it is a hard decision to make. Next, you get to choose the coating. This should be very easy to select because they are only 3 choices there which are dark chocolate, vanilla and chocolate. Here comes the toppings that you have chosen. The will be merrily sprinkle over the delici...

Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai, Johor Bahru

-
Image
At Johor Bahru, there is a majestic blue lake which is known as Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai. It is a hidden gem within Masai, Johor Bahru.  The reason it is blue is because of the iron ore quarry nearby. The blue color is from the mineral called copper sulphate but I am not sure if that's the real reason for it because whenever there is a blue lake like this, there will be a iron ore quarry beside of it. Another good example is Tasik Biru Bukit Ibam Muadzam Shah, Pahang. I believe there are other more which you can share with me the location of the blue lake with an iron ore quarry beside it on the comments below. Thanks. A panoramic view of the blue lake. Click to enlarge the picture. To get to here, simple key in "Tasek Biru Kangkar Pulai" into your Waze app. It will leads you directly to this place. There are no designated parking place, so you just have to park beside the main road.  It is not difficult to hike because I saw kids have no problem cli...

Sports Shooting Club Hatyai (SSC)

Most of people think if you travel to Hatyai and not visiting their temples, you are just wasting your time at Hatyai. As for my personal opinion, if you come to Hatyai and did not go to Sports Shooting Club (SSC) Hatyai to experience the shooting experience with a real gun, I think you are not just wasting your time at Hatyai but you are wasting your time being a human. You only live once and there is no better way to understand these guns than coming over to SSC.   Their gun selections are enough to satisfy your urge. From rifle, pistols, revolvers to shotguns. You would be surprised that their rifle is the cheapest. The price is stated from 890 baht nett for a 15 rounds.  I have tried the rifle, beretta and this Smith and Wesson 4506 .45 ACP. This 45 is my favorite among all with 50m shooting range and 8+1 capacity. One of the most expensive gun to rent here. Basically you are shooting at the target paper like this. You can adjust the range of the target ...

Thai Boat Noodles is a trendy authentic Boat Noodles originated in Bangkok Kwan Riam Floating Market located between Soi Saereethai 60 and Soi Ramkhamhaeng 187 where the vendors cook food in the little boats. It gains popularity not only with the locals but the tourist alike due to its sophisticated aroma riched soup based with sultry smooth Thai glass noodle that consists of more than 10 ingredients to prepare a piping hot bowl of comfort food. Aroi Thai Boat Noodles will target both Thai food lovers as well as casual diners looking for good food in a fascinating Thai atmosphere. Recently there is an interesting Thai restaurant which is known as Aroii Thai opened at Shaftsbury Square at Cyberjaya. The interesting part is all their food and drinks are only RM1.90++/each. I am not joking and I thought it was a gimmick too when I first heard of this. So I decided to drop by all the to Cyberjaya for a visit.  Aroii in Thai means delicious. This delicious eatery is always pa...
