The Apartment, The Curve, Mutiara Damansara Take 2

Yes! We made a return visit to The Apartment, The Curve last night, not because the staff there being more well-trained, but the vouchers we having in hand =P And, this time, we came along with Elvin's mum.

Passion Cosmo RM21.90 for himself and M.Lodge Red Wine RM23.00 for his mum! Well! Me? I'm just having 2 glass of plain waters!

Yes! Daaa.. Daaaaaa.. A bowl of Mussels with Creme Fraiche & White Wine sauce! It costs RM21.90 but we get it free! Hehe.. Told you, we got vouchers!! Lol.. The breads which come along with the Mussels are fresh and taste pretty good especially when you dig it with the sauce!

Portobello Mushroom RM22.90! It free too!

Lamb Shank RM37.90

Butterflied Lemon Chicken RM25.90

Baked Chocolate Pudding RM15.90 yet we got it free also =P It tastes pretty good =)

After all, we would rank the foods we ate at 5 out of 10. However, it could easily be at 7 out of 10 if they could put more efforts on cooking the foods, and of course quote the foods and drinks cheaper a bit, as the foods and drinks are not up to the stardard where they can quote at a high price as compared to TGI Friday =P

Restaurant Korean House

Early of the month of June, we went to Restaurant Korean House which located in one of the shop lots in PJ SS2 for celebrating one of our lovely friend, Chien Ting's birthday as she never try out some of the Korean food before, so we decided to buy her a Korean dinner on her birthday.

Actually we drove past Restaurant Korean House, PJ SS2 quite a number of times yet we never drop ourselves there for a try, well, now is a pretty good chance and a pretty good excuse for giving us a try at there as to buy Chien Ting a Korean dinner for her birthday.

The place does not look pretty busy when we head in, but when nearly 7pm, the restaurant started to be quite crowded and busy, well, it's a good sign of a restaurant right?

As with many other Korean restaurants, we were given Kimchi, To Fu, Clams, Bean Spouts, Vegetables, Potato Salad, Anchovies and a few other things I can’t name. And, we were served free Wheat Tea (cold or hot) with free refill that most of the Korean restaurants didn't, we truly enjoy the service of this restaurant. The service of this restaurant is good and attentive, with the staff ensuring that our glasses of Wheat Tea were filled at all times.

I and Chien Ting ordered Soondooboo (Spicy Soup with Meats, To Fu and a few other things I can't name with a bowl of Rice) at RM15 each, Audrie ordered Bibim-Bab (Hot Stone Bowl Rice with a mixture of Mushrooms and Vegetables) at RM15 and my dearest ordered Samge-Tang (Chicken Herb Soup with Steamed Rice inside the Chicken) at RM28. The foods quite pretty tasty and good. And, we served some Watermelon as Dessert just after we finished our orders!

"Kamsahamnida" (Thanks you in Korean) will literally keep bowing and saying to you all the way from your table after you settled the bills to the door on your way out, the waiters and the boss are really friendly making you feel that you surely will come back here for the Korean foods second time and again.

Mizi Burger @ Fire Station

One of Malaysia’s very own version western foods, Ramli Burger, unique in it’s choices of ingredient and method of preparation, well received by the locals and tourists alike ever since it was first introduced in 1979.

The preparation of Ramli Burger is slightly different with preparation of Western Burger, Malaysian used to slice the meat patty into two, keeping them intact ala clam shell style, add seasonings in the middle, wrapping the egg around the meat patty, with more seasoning, pan frying the buns with butter on the same cooking surface, for the special option with other ingredients like raw or fried onion, cucumber, lettuce, plenty of chili sauce, and even more mayonnaise. You can also add cheese, or double up the meat patties, basically limitless customization.

Mizi Burger is one of such Ramli Burger places, located just next to the SS2 Fire Station, this particular stall has been in business for some 10 years. The burger sold was very juicy and flavorful topped with raw or fried onion, cucumber, lettuce, mayonnaise, butter and sweetish chili sauce, the burger is messey yet it's tasty for only measly RM 2.50!

Roti Tissue @ Kayu

Kayu Nasi Kandar, PJ SS2 is a so called high class mamak that operates 24 hours. Though the food might be on the high end of price scale when it comes to mamak offering, the food is good, the environment is pretty clean, and the place is air conditioned with some huge TVs. I guess it’s worth it!

One special mamak food they serve, roti tissue. What's special about this roti tissue they serving? They serve pretty impressive 3 feet tall roti tissue no where can be found. This roti tissue made from a larger roti dough and spread paper thin, at the crucial moment just before the roti gets burnt, they haul it up, manipulate it to a cone shape, and pour some condensed milk and honey/syrup while letting the roti harden, resulted the 3 feet tall roti tissue.

This snack is pretty sweet, and yet addictively tastey, best consumed when it’s still warm and crispy. When the ultra thin roti laced with sugar just melts in your mouth with the hint of condense milk, can't imaging it right?

Wan Tan Mee @ OK

This Wan Tan Mee stall is opened from around 11 in the morning to 6-7pm. Of course, the same restaurant also offers the Fatty Duck Stew Duck Rice we reviewed in our earliest first blog. We ordered a normal Char Siu Wan Tan Mee and a Char Siu Mushroom Mee. Like many Wan Tan Mee places, the noodle we ordered didn’t take long to arrive.

There was only the essentials of the dish, the Wan Tan, the Char Siu, the noodle, sauce, and pickled green chili. It didn’t even come with vegetable like most other places. The best ingredient of dish though, was their Char Siu, barbecued to perfection, maintaining the juiciness of the meat while achieving a very firm and consistent texture. The noodle has a proper texture and firmness to it, while absorbing the sauce well. The Wan Tan too, were of good size and packed with enough fatty minced meat. It is always a disappointment when some stalls make their wan tan too small in order to increase profit. Beside that, they also offer the popular Chicken Feet with Mushroom as toppings for the noodle.

The noodle starts from RM 3.50 per plate.

Fatty Duck @ OK

Fatty Duck is a stall that operates from around 5pm and serves the dinner crowd. They serve stew duck with quite a number of side dishes to choose from. Among these are hard boiled duck egg, salted vegetable, hot and sour vegetable, mushroom, tofu, and even duck intestine. You can have either rice or porridge to go with these dishes.

For two of us, me and my dear, we ordered a serving of stew duck, 2 tofu, salted vegetable, hot and sour vegetable, and mushroom to go with rice. While the portion of servings was pretty small, the meal was enough to provide a satisfying dinner without over bloating my dear. I especially like the very smooth tofu that goes very well with the stew duck sauce. Funny how can be oblivious to some of the best foods closest to my home while traveling miles away to hunt for best foods in other places. Such is the case with Fatty Duck Teo Chew Stew Duck that is located a mere 2 minutes away from my home.

The dinner only costs RM 13 for all the dishes and rice. Pretty economical and definitely value for money for this great tasting meal.
