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)

Will I Revisit?: When I hear some improvement on their main course by other bloggers.

Have you ever stay in a Durian Farm before? No? At Bao Sheng Durian Farm, you can do it! This 6.7 acres durian farm has been established in Balik Pulau since 1959. It really took them full 60 years to get the fruit of their hard work. Their villa is well equipped with air-con, hot shower and LCD TV with hundreds of Blu-Ray quality movies in it! They have existing queen size or king size bed and extra bed can be requested. To get close and personal with the King of Fruit...the accommodation charges will be Deluxe Villa is charged at RM280/night and standard villa will cost you RM180/night. They only have 1 Deluxe Villa and 2 Standard Villa only. So it is very easy to be fully booked during the durian season. Advance booking is greatly recommended for at least 3 months ahead so that you will be able to choose the right schedule for the durian you wish to taste. Why stay in a durian farm? This is what you see when you open the window with all the durian trees around you. The fre

Hawker Center @Jalan MacAlister, Penang

What will people think first when we talk about Penang? Penang Hill? Batu Feringghi? Hard Rock Cafe? I doubt any of them come first but their local food! 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. No name for this hawker center but the local good foods are concentrated here. A lot of hawker stall like this here. There are just too many to choose from.

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 to your prefer

Kedai Kopi Lotus, Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu doesn't have huge hawker center like you will see in Peninsular Malaysia or Kuching but I have to reckon that the best hawker center in Kota Kinabalu is in Kedai Kopi Lotus. Kedai Kopi Lotus themselves do serve their own food which was very terrible and beyond edible state. So do not eat anything from this restaurant. You just pick the stalls beside this restaurant. There are 4 stalls which I will introduce one by one to you but the only stall which will not be introduced is the stall which is selling Guo Tie ( a kind of dumplings) -  not my favorite. The best and the most popular stall of all is this chicken wing stall. Everyone is there lining up for them either taking away or dining there. You may need to wait for 15-20 minutes for it. However, it will be definitely worthwhile. RM2.65/pc for this chicken wing. The reason it is taste so good is because of the perfect combination of the honey and the BBQ fragrance. They blend it so well inside the fresh and

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 tax of 6%. Seriou

Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong, Bandar Baru Sentul

This is my first time dining at Sentul and glad to know this great Chinese restaurant which is known as Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong. This is the crowd at 6.00pm on Sunday. Crazy right? Let you see from another angle. They just own one shop lot but seems like owning an extra 4 parking space but still they are people standing and waiting for their seat including me! Curry Fish Head @RM25.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - This is their signature. You can choose a normal fish meat or a fish head like this. The curry is not really spicy at all. It contains more coconut milk taste than the curry itself. The fragrance of the curry and the coconut milk work perfectly. I can smell it before it is served. The fish heads are soft, tender, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend to everyone to try.

Trang An Boat Tour, Ninh Binh

-
Image
It’s known as the Ha Long Bay of the land. About 150 kilometers from the famous Vietnamese bay where hundreds of islands form a natural wonder is another equally as impressive landscape. This one, known as Trang An, is nowhere near the coast, though. The mountains are connected by rice paddies, not water. You can cycle to them, not sail. And – best of all – they are not full of foreign tourists. Such is the joy of a Trang An boat tour. Trang An Heritage Complex is a part of Ninh Binh province, it is about 100km away from Hanoi city center. If Halong holds an impressive and magnificent beauty, Trang An will be its best rival. Though smaller in size, you will be lost in a wonderland with the karst mountains, lush green forests, sparkling and crystal-clear river and the endless rice field running to the horizon. In general, the cost of entrance fees & boat trip of three routes is the same ( 200.000vnd/ person) on a shared- rowing boat (maximum 4 people/ 1 boat). You can ch

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.

Tamarind Springs @ Jalan TAR, Ampang

-
Image
Tamarind Springs is a sister company with Tamarind Hills but at different location and different concept. Tamarind Springs is located inside a jungle like area. So there are no air-conditioner provided and you are surrounded by greens. Very nice atmosphere to have your meals. An exotic dining experience! Tamarind Springs serves Indochinese Cuisine so you will be expecting Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand cuisine in their menu. To get to here is a little bit tricky. Even Google Maps and Waze failed to guide you to the right place. Basically you will only see this restaurant after you passed by the Royal Club Selangor Golf Course. For exact location, please click on the link on the word "Location" at the end of this post. There is a guarded parking lot provided which is free of charge. So do not worry about your expensive vehicle leaving in the wild and dark in the middle of the night. You have to be amazed with the landscape and design of this restaurant. Pretty
