Alexis Bistro & Wine Bar, Garden Midvalley

Alexis is one of my favourite restaurant in my 2nd home, Garden Midvalley.

The restaurant has been blogged many times and you can find many instragram about this place.
They are famous for their cake. But other food is not bad too. (^_^)

And need to mention that I meet Lee Chong Wei relaxing here with his friend. I did not disturb him as it should be hard for him to find time to relax.

 Now back to the food.

The main attraction is their Pavlova (Meringue) and Tiramisu.
The Pavlova is perfect combination of cream, meringue, strawberry and blueberry.
The Tiramisu is different from other Tiramisu. Alexis add caramalised almond to the cake. The coffee powder also missing from the cake. Replaced by strawberry syrup that is serve together with the cake.

Trattoria Tanzini, G Tower Hotel



Been a while since I went for a nice dinner with good friends.
Kind of hard to arrange such a date due to my working time... ><

Anyway this place is suggested by my friend and I like the scenery from the restaurant.



Can see my old office from where I seat.

I am late when I reach the restaurant and let my friend wait for an hour. (Sorry) However she is very understanding and did not blame me much. (Good manner girl. ^_^)

The menu look expensive to me. A little bit pricier then the usual fine dining restaurant that I went. But given the ambiance and scenery from the restaurant, it is forgiven.

However that does not means I will try all their menu. I am very poor. (><)

So I go for their lunch set.




First on their serving is the complimentary bread. It is a surprise that the restaurant put effort to bake these complimentary bread. The bread come with 3 extra sauce to spice up the taste of the bread.

After the bread, is taken, the waiter start to put down utensil for the meal. And that is when I notice the knife have my name initial. (^___^)



So add mark for this restaurant to my list of recommended dining restaurant.



And then come the Appetizer



From left is Mozzarella Cheese, Smoked duck with mandarin orange, Smoked Salmon with Caviar.

As what good appetizer should do, it tempt us and make us asking for more.

The drinks is also serve while me and my friend are busy taking the photos. XD


The Trattoria Lychee Mocktail which is very soothing for my throat.



Fruit Delight Mocktail. From the look it should be Orange juice with some other juice mixture. She did not complain about it so another good drinks.



This is my main course. Herb Baked Organic Jade Perch Fillet. The portion is really for those with smaller stomach as the 2 small piece of fish fillet is not enough for me. The taste is still great. Can feel the fresh taste of the fish.



My friend main course is Char-Grilled Lamb Rack with homemade Chili Fettuccine and Jumbo Asparagus. But it suffer the same portion problem. Her comment is the lamb looks fat but is not oily. Thumbs up on this.



We decide to order one more main course meal instead of leaving the restaurant with half full stomach. Our choice is this Tanzini Tiger Prawn Vongolle.



The Tiger prawn is very large and fresh. Another great dish from Tanzini.

Last to be serve is the Dessert



The dessert for the day is Opera Cake and Chocolate Cheese Cake.
The cheese cake taste is good. Unlike the cheese cake from other shop, this cheese cake feel smooth and not too cheesy.

The bill at the end is RM240 for 2 person. (Ouch~!)

But the price is expected and definitely did not stop me from coming again.

Some of the photo taken from the Tanzini.

Delicious @ Dua Residency, Jalan Tun Razak



Delicious @ Dua Residency, Jalan Tun Razak

Have a nice dinner today at this restaurant. Normally I won't like these kind of self promote thing. Because I feel delicious, nice or good should be say by other and not self proclaimed. Anyway, this restaurant have proven that they live up the name. I have a few meal before at their One Utama and MidValley branch. This is my first visit at this branch and first time I take the photo to write blog about it.


This is the Carbonara Spagetti. Unlike most Carbonara, this one still have slice of cheese on top. Taste wise is good. Or I should say standard taste.



Muschroom Spagetti. After loads of meat during CNY, I taught it will be a good idea to have some vegetarian meal, thus give this a try. The portion is generous as usual but I find the sauce a bit too thick. It is good when you try your first bite but as you continue, you will start to feel the taste a bit too thick.




Chocolate cake. This one is a must try at Delicious for Chocolate lover. The chocolate flavor is very nice mix with the vanilla ice cream on top.




This is call Berilicious Chocolate Pravolta. And it is my favourite that I must order everytime I am here. I find the one serve here is less sweet compare to other branch which is good for me. (^^)

(Note:For Midvalley branch, this Berilicious dessert is hot sale item. So when you go during night time, this item maybe finished)

Garden Restaurant at Garden Midvalley.

Kind of confusing title right. There is a restaurant name Garden Restaurant in One Utama. Now it opening a new branch in Midvalley. Near the bridge between Garden and Midvalley.

I have always wanted to try this restaurant in One Utama, but always something happen. Anyway, this time I got the chance to try their branch in MidValley.





Just like the name suggest, this restaurant theme is a garden style restaurant.
So you will have the feel of sitting in garden and have a high tea. It will be better if the floor is also grass. Coz I love to step on soft grass with my bare feet. (^^)






Now the food is really so so. The chef did try to think of new kind of food for the menu and the taste is not bad. But not that fantastic.


This is the Mix Fruit Tea. It sounds better when I read it in the menu. But taste really not that great. I did not finish it even though I am thirsty.


The mushroom cream soup is nice. Some restaurant will prepare this soup with more cream and just a few piece of mushroom. Garden Restaurant choose to include more mushroom inside which is good. I like it.


Ham sandwich is really plain. Not much suprise here.


This is the salmon fish steak with orange sauce. A really special dish that I really never seen something familiar in any other restaurant. Taste is surprisingly unexpected. Because orange and salmon don't seems to match.

Conclusion, I would give them a 3 star. Good Environment, Food is not bad.

New Year Eve meal at Jogoya

New Year Eve dinner... and now only I post it. Hahaha

So me and 1 guy 2 gal go for dinner buffet at Jogoya. For most KL people, this place should be familiar. Unless you are the kind of people that don't like Japanese raw sashimi or don't like buffet. So lets just skip the intro of this place and see the photo.




















Some comment, the shark fin and red wine is compliment of Jogoya. It is good only because it is free of charge. If I need to use the member coupon for this, then it is bad. The Cod Fish that many complain is getting bad, well remember that this is fried fish. So if you feel it is bad, then perhaps you can tell me which place fried fish is very nice and tell me how marvelous or fantastic it is compare to other place. For me I feel it is still good and recommended for you to try it. The coconut, tempura, oyster etc is still as good as before. Variety of food is there.

Now complain about Jogoya. Damn you for changing Unagi to Jogoya Member only dish. 2nd, damn you for no more Mochi on that day. Perhaps you can provide a small map that show location of food. Because some of the food now is at alley that is easily miss by other people.

Conclusion, Jogoya quality if compare to the first time I went there, it is really downgraded quality. But when compare to other restaurant offering, their buffet is still among the best. So unless appear another new shop that win my heart, Jogoya is still the place that I will go.
