Ante Kitchen & Bar @ PUBLIKA

Ante Kitchen & Bar is another non-halal western cuisine other than Three Little Pigs& The Big Bad Wolf. Ante Kitchen & bar are famous with their Carbonara but too bad i missed the dish so will go for a try for my next trip there..

 Char-grilled PORK Steak RM33

This is their signature pork chop served with berry-cream sauce and baked potatoes. 

The meat they use is pork lion which the part is one of the best part for a pork chop which had the juicy and tender meat.

The berry-cream sauce fits well with the chop. 

It will be better if they serve mashed potato than baked potato cause overall meal are too dry. 

 Ultimate Pork Belly Sandwich RM29.00

This sandwich consits of well-fried pork ear, tender pork belly, tomato salsa, rocket and comes with fries and salads.

The fried pork ear give a crunchy feel to the sandwich while the pork belly provide the juicy meat.

The tomato salsa give a perfect moisture to the sandwich neither dry or watery. 

Hopefully, they will use a larger cut of fries than the McDonald style fries. 

Its is a worth visiting restaurant and definitely will visit again for their Carbonara.

Ying Ker Lou 迎客楼 Hakka Cuisine @ The Garden

As an hakka people, sometime you will crave for hakka food and here is definitely can get all the hakka cuisine in one shop- Ying Ker Lou. Its is located at the 2nd Floor of The Garden. This restaurant can be quite busy during peak hours though the food is worth waiting for. Ying Ker Lou doesn't use MSG in prepare food and it is an non-halal restaurant. 

 P01- 客家算盤子 Hakka Yam Abacus RM22.00

The yam abacus are pan-fried with mushrooms, minced pork, jew's ear, spring onion and fried garlic.

the whole dish taste good but the yam abacus are disappointing as the yam abacus are lack of the yam flavor. Anywhere can get a better Yam abacus than here.

K05-  HAKKA PAN MEE RM 15.90

This is a worth trying dish. It look simple but every drop of soup is treasure. 

The shop taste clear neither tasteless or salty, but you can taste it uses anchovies and mushroom to prepare the soup.

The Pan Mee is the thinnest pan mee i ever had, the thinnest give a smooth texture to the pan mee but the taste still remain. 

L01- Hakka Minced Pork BanTiao RM15.90

BanTiao for me it is actually taste like pan mee but just in noodle form. 

The noodle are cook to just nice and the minced pork fits perfectly with the noodle.

Basically, Hakka people are actually quite a meat eater, and this is the key why we know better in prepare meat.

P34- XIAO LONG BAO WITH RICE WINE (4PCS) RM10.00

Ying Ker Lou xiao long bao are different from din tai fung or dragon-i as you can see it contain wine.

I shouldn't say the XLB contain rice wine, it should be they use rice wine as the soup base in xiao long bao. This is actually an interesting idea as normal xiao long bao we had are salty soup base but the rice wine give a sweet aroma to it. 

But, the skin of the bao need a huge improvement.

The serving at Ying Ker Lou are not possible for sharing as it is quite small.

Wafflemeister @ KLCC

Wafflemeister store are located at the 3rd floor of suria KLCC which is the same floor as the tgv cinema and this is their first international franchise from UK . It is actually a store infront of the nike shop and it actually doesn't had a fancy interior since it is an small store with few table and chairs. Wafflemeister is famous with their fresh belgium waffle and you may choose topping,example: ice cream, nuts, marshmallow, different chocolate sauce and etc ,  or the ready menu.

Dream Team

Belgium waffle with your choice of chocolate sauce and ice cream.

I choose the cookie and cream ice cream and dark chocolate sauce.

The waffle are crispy at the outside and soft at in the inside. Waffle have the creamy aroma which goes well with any topping.

The combination of dark chocolate and cookie & cream ice cream give the waffle at the perfect sweetness.

Food are decent but personally think that the price are slightly higher compare to the other cafe or dessert shop.

Senya Izakaya 鲜家 @ Publika

This restaurant was hidden at one end of the Publika but the outside was decorated with Japanese Rice wine bottle. The restaurant are run by a Japanese and you're definitely warmly by the shop owner once you step in the shop. The restaurant are divided into 2 part which is the smoking area and the non-smoking area. Basically, customer had to order their food through ipad provided and the serving time are short which even though the restaurant are full house. Give a two thumbs up on service! 

Food: 

 

Grilled Pork With Half Boiled Egg Don 

This is the must-have in the restaurant which steal my heart and made me forget to take photo of others food . 

One little bowl of don had more than 10 pieces of pork slice, half boiled egg, pickled and rice. 

the pork slice are grilled to a slightly crispy but the fat still remain it juiciness. Pork slice are grilled with teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seed, teriyaki bought up the sweetness of the pork and sesame give a nice ending for the pork. Japanese rice are used in the don and it are cooked to perfection. 

Pork Neck Skewer RM5.50

This is one of the recommendation of the day. It differ from the don it because this was just grilled with salt which let you taste the original taste of the meat but their grilling skill are fabulous. One skewer consist of 3 piece of pork neck so its basically quite worth the price.

Shoyu Ramen RM1x

This ramen look simple on the menu but this is the taste i had been i longing and must have when my trip to Japan,

The ramen come with 2 slice of char siew, seaweed, fish cake and spring onions.

The soup base taste clear but it remain it sweetness and pork are well cooked till it melts in mouth 

Senya Izakaya not only offer the variety on pork but they also do prepare variety of seafood. So, please do try out the restaurant even though you're not a big fan of pork. 

 Total  Bill Cost: 

1 Shoyu Ramen

1 Pork Neck Skewer

1 Grilled Pork With Half Boiled Egg Don

1 Ashashi Beer 

1 Green Tea 

 + Tax

RM79

Personally think that the price range are affordable and it totally worth every single penny you paid!

Häagen-Dazs @ KLCC

Häagen-Dazs is a famous ice cream worldwide but its is not a common ice cream between Malaysian due to the pricey price. To be honest why I think Häagen-Dazs still remain as one of the top in ice cream world is because of their creamy and soft texture of ice cream. 

Häagen-Dazs is one of my best place to cure my sudden craving for chocolate and ice cream which is  the fondue. 

Fondue RM64 

Häagen-Dazs  fondue comes with:

4 mini scope of      vanilla ice cream

4 mini scope of Belgian chocolate ice cream

4 mini scope of cookie& cream ice cream

4 mini scope of strawberry ice cream

4 piece of chocolate sponge cake 

4 piece of vanilla sponge cake 

4 piece of love letter

3 piece of cookies

fresh fruits

nuts

Basically, one fondue can serve for min.4 pax. The chocolate doesn't spoil the texture of ice cream but it give the harden chocolate give the crispy feel to it.

The Humble Pie Co. @ Sec 17, PJ

The Humble Pie Co. is one of my favourite spot for pie beside A Pie Thing. The location of humble pie give me a real headache on finding parking so most of the time i just take away and enjoy with my love one. As the shop name told everything the humble pie prepare a perfect pie especially their Banoffee Pie and Dufee Pie.

Okay Basically im so sorry that i doesn't had any picture of the pie but you guys can kindly refer to their Facebook for the photo

 This is the Musang King Pie-RM18 

Okay. Humble Pie did give the best ingredients when they prepared their pie.

This Musang King Pie is a seasonal pie, musang king in the pie are filled fully which give a strong durian taste to the pie. 

Dufee Pie RM15

Dufee pie is normal durian pie since musang king is the royal blood in durian family so the price is little different.
Personally im not a big fan of durian but i still perfer Dufee Pie than all others pie as the durian give a little bitter taste to the pie which give a decent taste to the pie.

Banoffee Pie RM12
Banoffee Pie is a pie filled with banana. The banana that used by humble pie are fresh and neither too soft or too hard. Another favourite of mine!

Strawberry Pie RM13
This little pie was packed full with strawberries!!!
The strawberry match well with the whipped cream and pie base :D
