Villa Danieli @Sheraton Imperial Hotel

-
It is another outing with Shirley and this time I chose Villa Danieli which is located in Sheraton Imperial Hotel. This is an Italian restaurant but we did not order any Italian cuisine.
The seating are limited to this area only because the rest of the tables are reserved for an ongoing event. Pretty noisy and has spoiled the quiet and romantic ambiance of this restaurant. This restaurant only opens on Saturday night during the weekend so there is a big chance that you will bump into an event if you plan to dine on the weekend.
I like the sauce that is accompany with this bread which I have yet to taste in other restaurants yet. As for the bread, it was just average.
Wild Mushroom Soup @RM38.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - This is a sharing portion. Made from selected mushrooms with crispy enoki mushroom, cream ricotta cheese and truffle oil. Delicious crunchy bits and with the fragrance that is so unique.

BBQ Glazed Lamb Rib @RM98.00++
Outlook: 3/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - I like how soft the lamb is cooked and how minimal the gamey taste it is done. However, I do not like cola BBQ sauce. It tasted just weird when an attempt of mixing the sweetness to cover the gamey taste.

Parsley crusted Australian Beef Tenderloin @RM118.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - It comes with pumpkin confit, vegetables and honey terragon beef jus. It is soft and tasty. The pumpkin confit works its trick by producing the sweetness taste to the beef.

Unfortunately, this is her first and her last beef steak experience. She just do not like reddish looking meat despite the taste was good.  
"Villa Danieli" Tiramisu @RM32.00++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - It is more a creamy based of Tiramisu. Too creamy enough which I do not find this Tiramisu authentic. In an Italian restaurant, I am expecting a truly authentic Tiramisu.

Overall, we had a not so good dining experience in this restaurant with their food. I am so sad to disappoint her with the steak. I should have just stick to pasta and pizza. Somehow I feel that it is because of the event has caused the food quality to be poor.The chefs probably too concentrate with the event rather than a tiny portion of us.
Total Damage: RM454.70++
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Food Serving Speed: Moderate
Will I Revisit?: No

Little Nyonya Cuisine @Gurney Plaza

Image
Once again being a free tour guide for a group of people from Yunnan, China to Penang for some nice local delicacies. However, they were complaining about our food is not spicy enough. So since they would like spicy food, the only place I can think of in Penang is The Little Nyonya Cuisine which located at the lower ground of Gurney Plaza.  Tomyam Seafood @RM18.00++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Spiciness Level: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The seafood contains fish, squid and prawns only which is not bad at all. I would consider their seafood is fresh.The best part is the tomyam soup which is very spicy enough to numb your whole tongue and jaw. Nyonya Asam Pedas Ikan Pari @RM18.00++ Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Spiciness Level: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - The stingray is soft and delicious but the only problem was the moment the gravy touched my tongue, I already can taste the crazy spiciness in it which is far greater than the ...

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...

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. Ginger Squid and Prawn @RM18.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 2/5 Overall: 4/5 - Hardly taste the ginger but what makes me...

Chong Siew Lam Restaurant, Serdang

-
Image
Never know about this place until I watched Ah Xian from the TV Programme which is known as "Taste with Jason". This restaurant is known as Chong Siew Lam Restaurant. No signboard to show this place but this is the only the crowded place in the whole street. They only serve for lunch so do expect great crowd roaming to this place between 12.00pm to 2.00pm.  Steamed Tilapia Fish Head @RM20.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - Tilapia is a freshwater fish and the best is to steam it. Without a doubt, they did it very well. The meat is so fresh but what is the best part is the gravy. Not sure how they made it but it brings a little wine taste in it with spicy kick. Absolutely uniquely delicious! Steam Salted Chicken @RM22.00 Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - By steaming the chicken like that, the gravy has already penetrated the entire chicken meat. If you just eat the chicken itself, it i...

Quan Ice Cream & Coffee House, Pandan Indah

-
Image
If you ask me a nice place to chillout around Ampang and Cheras area, one of the best I think is Quan Ice Cream & Coffee House. This place so big by occupying two stories and two units of shop lot. The ambiance is cozy and their lighting setup is designed pretty well not so dark until you can't even know what food you are eating and not so bright until you feel you lost your own privacy. Some decoration like this you may see around the shop. I guess the boss is quite a collector. However, I do not really like an advertisement encourage smoking especially lady. Other vintage design on the wall and their seats are made from rattan. Not really for comfort purpose but to provide the vintage feel instead. Do visit here for their drinks and coffees which is what they are good at. Choc Ring-A-Ding @RM6.50++ Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 - Their another specialty is the ice creams. A lot of unique and creative choices for you to...
