Simple Saturday Lunch at Dish Deli

Every Wednesday, we attended BNI meeting religiously from 6.45am until 8.45am. We are served with the delicious food prepared by Dish Deli. From bruschetta to the lovely taste of lasagna, we decided to try the food as it is during non-BNI day. So we chose, Saturday lunch. When we walked in, I felt awkward as the arrangement of the table is totally different. Duh! Of course it is. It's not a meeting venue anymore, silly! I still remember that there was a bridal shower lunch going on in the cafe. We thought it was closed for private function, but luckily it's not.

I ordered the Pink Guava for a drink as it was highly recommended by the owner. Without hesitation, we just proceed to order it and we find the drink is truly refreshing. Not too sweet and I did enjoyed the selection of drink that day. Unfortunately, when I wanted to order the 2nd glass, it was sold out. That showed how popular the Pink Guava is.

For me, I ordered the Roasted Lamb and meatloaf for him. While waiting for the food to arrive, few snapshots of the place are taken to show you how simple design could revive the whole ambiance into a relaxing and elegant feeling.

Let's start with the art painting that was given as a gift to the owner.

The arrangement of the tables and chairs. The lighting also simple with subtle designs.

That's the picture taken. If you are wondering, the 2 lovely ladies are the owners of Dish Deli

This place has a corner for your kids to max out while you enjoy your meal. Its different than other places as they have many quality books and toys.

For the ladies or gentlemen who wish to hang out and chill after meal, feel free to sit at the couch here for a relaxing chat with your friends.

Before you leave the cafe, do feel free to buy few take away frozen nutritious food. This is ideal for busy young professionals or young parents with tight daily schedule.All ingredients are freshly made and frozen using instant freeze. This is so that the nutrients of the food is kept and intact and not lost over time. With short period of time in heating the food, you still can enjoy fresh nutritious and really tasty food at your own comfort of your home. There have frozen food for children and also for adult. The best part is that they also have a packed version of their fabulous sauce! Love the sauce! yummy yum yumm!

Tick tock tick tock... With no long waiting time involved, our food are here!

This is my roasted lamb served with grilled carrots and potatoes. The lamb is succulent and it is indeed a great experience. Something that I haven't tasted it for quite a while. The meat is so tender and succulent and with the the gravy sauce, oh la la... SUPERB! It is something that you want to have over and over again. Unfortunately, roast meat only available during the weekends. Oh well, fair enough. I still could enjoy it on the weekends.

Price: RM31.90

He ordered meatloaf that also served with grilled carrots and mashed potatoes, that topped with tasty brown sauce. I "curi" a piece of it for a taste. The texture is very tender even if the meat is well cooked. The flavour has seeped in the meat properly. What can I say more? It's delicious. The mashed potatoes is very well mixed with butter as you can taste the milky salty taste when you grab a bite of it. Addictive I would say as I can't stop "curi"-ing his mashed potatoes too. He is not a carrot lover but now he finished all his carrots and was "curi-ing" mine!

Price: RM25.90

We ordered Bruschetta with mushroom just to satisfy my cravings! Though we had this almost every Wednesday after the meeting for breakfast, I still like to eat it even on non-BNI day. Buttery and creamy mushroom blasting in your mouth along with the nice crisp of the toast. Very well balanced flavour.

Price: forgot! Definitely less than RM15.00 Sorry.... :(

If you are looking for a great meal with a reasonable price, this is a great place to be. But please come early as this place tends to fill up really fast. There are many more dishes that we havent tried but I am sure we will be coming here even more often soon! Parking may be a problem but if you plan to park at the basement carpark then it wouldn't be a problem.

Overall Verdict:

Food : 9/10

Service : 10/10 (owner serve us wor...)

Price : 9/10 (affordable and reasonable)

Ambiance : 9/10 (comfortable)

Valentine Meal that I love to share....

Valentine's Day is a day that every couple looking forward to. Men might need to crack their heads to decide what to do on that special day. Ladies are anxiously waiting what's coming to them on that special day. Perhaps this year going to do a different taste with different style. Candlelight dinner maybe kinda old school to the new generation. Perhaps fusion concept that mixed the East and West might attract the young couple. Women would love to try something new as it would excite them. Do you agree?

 

Who would have though appetizer can be a Japanese fusion with a bit of Oriental taste? Not to forget, you could add a little bit different spice with the YuZu Orange Wasabe Mayo. These ingredients would triggered your taste bud and ready for the main course.

 

Double boiled soup chicken style chicken broth! That's the double chicken taste in there served with the taste of the Kumomoto Oyster and Lychee jam. Looks good and it may sound weird, but I like the slight sweetness in the oyster. Oyster was fresh and it doesn't smell that bad. When you tasted it, you know it's a quality selected oyster. For those who scared to eat a raw food, I think it's not that bad for you to try for the 1st time.

The main course I tried the Beef Medaglione al Forno topped with Mushroom Ragout. It added with the Berries Balsamice and Raisin Bordelaise Sauce. That is a very long name.The beef was prepared in medium. Of course, if you would prefer a well done steak, it's perfectly fine. I prefer it cooked medium though. 

Dessert will the last of course and I'm lucky to try the chocolate cheese mousse and strawberry dipped served with caramelized Granny Smith Apple. Another long name to remember. Basically, just one word to describe this. That is "SWEET".  But again, no matter how sweet it is, I can't finished it. Too much for me to digest in the end. Not to worry, you could always share the abundant sweetness with your loved one. In fact, a valentine meal should ended with loads of sweetness, don't you think so?

I would like to thank Advertlets & Holiday Villa, Hotel & Suites Subang for the invitation. Holiday Villa is a premier 5-star business resort and club that offers ideal gateway for business and leisure. Valentine's Day is over though but fret not!  You could always come and enjoy what they have to offer you for a short gateway from hectic city life. It's strategically located just 25km from the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

Geláre Ice Cream with waffles and pancakes w/ Advertlets

Have a sweet tooth? or just craving for some really good ice creams? and best of all on top of your favourite waffles? Imagine the warm crunchy waffles topped with flavourful ice creams! yummmmo! Thinking about it makes me drool all over again! But hey! I did manage to try it! At Geláre in e-Curve! or formerly known as Cineleisure.

Basically their main attraction are their Ice Cream and to top it off is to share with a nice warm waffles. I was wondering what Geláre meant and to find out that it actually means "to freeze" or "congeal" in Italiano! mi scusi, mi scusi! in Italian I mean. All this good food brings out the Italian in me!

Their ice creams are a marriage between Italian and American. yea like Micheal Corleone! Capisce? They took the Italian ice cream and mixing it with American style Ice Cream which is creamier.

I manage to try out several dishes when I went there.

First was of course their waffles and their Ice Creams! This I tried the Pistachio and Strawberry. Their Pistachios ice cream was a wonderful treat! blasting with a balanced pistachio aroma and with chunky pistachio in it. The strawberry ice cream was not overly sweet.


Next was Chocolate Overload, yes Chocolate Overload and Mocha Chip ice cream and waffle. The chocolate overload is a must try for chocolate lovers!

I have to say the waffles itself is a treat! Crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Yummmo!

If you are a waffle person then you will surely want to try out their pancakes!

This is pancakes with strawberries and cream. The texture of the pancakes are done well. Nice, fluffy and hot! It might be abit sweet for some but to most, it will definitely put a smile on your face!

This is another one I tried, banana pancake

And of course the normal but equally satisfying pancakes with syrup and cream.

Besides all this they also serve other varieties of food such as sandwiches, muffins and cakes.

You can even visit them at www.gelare.com

It is located at the ground floor at e-Curve (formerly CineLeisure) next to Tony Romas.

Service: 8/10 (good but since its new, i shall give it some time to improve)
Food Quality: 9/10 (very good ice creams and very good waffles)
Environment/ambience: 9/10 (love the mural and the colour concept)
Price: 8/10 (reasonable for such quality food - RM 30++ for ice cream with waffles)

My verdict: a good place to treat yourself with some really nice ice cream and fantastic waffles!

Disaster Buffet at Hartz

We went to hunt for the buffet at Times Square. After round and round of hunting, it was closed down. I was disappointed as I will be missing the food there. I love the food, a decade ago. Then the last time I had it, was like 3 years ago.


Guess, our food hunting turned to be a disaster as the standard dropped to the level 0 in short period of time. No wonder Times Square branch closed down.


This is the reason why?
#1


The fried chicken was so dry and over-fried! Seriously,from the picture I took by mobile phone it may looked tasty. Wait until you taste that with your tongue! Unless you are a rubbish-eater, I would say that this is not edible at all. Plus, it's fa*rking salty too! Madness.

After the 1st bite...
After 2nd bite...

GIVE UP TOTALLY!

#2

For this portion of food I took, thanked God it's still decent to eat. Well, after this round, I could guaranteed you won't go and refill your plate for 2nd round again. Trust! It were not prepared properly as you can still taste the detergent smell from it! OMG! Thanked God I'm still alive to write this post. Tasted weird yet I'm still alive with NO food poisoning.

#3

This one. No comment. Still edible. But after few rounds before I took this, I've lost my appetite.

#4

Soup was served cold and it tasted like plastic or cardboard when I took a sip from it. I think the cook or any idiotic kitchen helper forgot that not to add TOO MUCH water into the ingredients. As you just imagine that when I scooped with my spoon, I think I am drinking the instant Campbell Soup packet instead.

For all the complains and whining from me, my guy still could wallop this portion of shi*tty food. Salute salute! Maybe he don't want to waste $$$ that he think it's not worth to spend on.


Yes, FINALLY! It's dessert time. Luckily for us, the ice-cream still edible and you will feel happy eating it.

Highlight of the Night

All drinks are not available. Only Coke and nothing else! On top of that, out of 3 Coke, only 1 is working!

My advice: Don't go!

Hartz used to be a nice and interesting place to go but now it has basically gone down the dumps... once a glorious outlet now is just a shadow if its former self buck up or shut down is what I will say......

Verdict:
Food: 2/5
Service: 1.5/5
Price: 2/5
