The Apartment, The Curve



burfday dinner with jimuis was at The Apartment, The Curve..

heard lots of not so good reviews about it bout we still decide to go ahead and give it a try..

at first dinner was set at 8pm but then everyone was late and we started dinner at 9pm..( my fault coz apple left the office late..)

estee message me telling me that she wouldn't be able to make it coz she will finish work very late but will ask eric to stop by and pass me a burfday present.so when i arrive at about 8.30 i gave eric a call and waited for him in front of The Apartment, and when i saw him, estee came from behind..she was the present...I WAS SURPRISE ! was reli feeling so hapy coz estee manage to make it to the dinner.

a simple introduction about "The Apartment" - the whole restaurant is renovated like an apartment.They have bedroom area, kitchen area, dining hall area, study room area and even bathroom.

we sat at the bathroom area.


ice lemon tea ~ price at rm6.50



watermelon juice ~ price at rm6.50


lemonade ~ price at rm6.50

"roasted stuff chicken" served with crispy herb bread topped with mushroom cream sauce and baked potatoes and tomatoes ~ price at rm26.90. i like the crispy herb bread. the chicken tasted normal.

apartment sauce mussels(honey,lime,chilli & ginger) ~ price at rm12.90 ( u can opt for clams if u dont so like mussels ) The mussels are very fresh. They are a variety of sauce for u to choose from.


"baked fish"-baked dory topped with cherry tomatoes ith gratin of mozarella and parmesan with saute potatoes ~ price at rm19.90. I think the mozarella and parmesan is a bit too much that is covers up the taste of the fish.


"stuffed squid" -stuffed squids with shallots, mint, parsley, and parmesan in tomato white wine sauce ~ price at rm16.90. this dish has all the jimuis votes.squid was very fresh and the sauce goes very well with the freshly toasted bread. THUMBS UP !!

"strawberry mint parfait" - perfectly layered parfait of fresh strawberries, finger sponge and minted cream ~ price at rm8.90. i only love the strawberries.....

"crunchy walnut crepes" - richly texture crepe with brown sugar and crushed walnut smooth in an avalanche of sweet caramel sauce ~ price at rm6.90.

Lau Heong Seafood Restaurant, Sentul

we had an early burfday celebration for wilson at this restaurant in Sentul name Lau Heong Seafood Restaurant. Its truly a hidden treasure inside Sentul. If you are familiar with Jalan Genting Klang, i think its shoudn't be difficult to find this place. Total 10 of us.

DIRECTIONS :
From Bulatan Pahang, u turn into Jalan Genting Klang, u will see Tawakal Hospital on ur left.Go straight and u wil see McDonalds and Shell Petrol Station on your left, right after Shell Petrol Station u turn left , go straight till u reach a traffic light. Go straight after the traffic light and there is a small turning on your right before the apartment name Menara Orkid. After u turn right there will be a row of shops on ur right, tat is where the restaurant is located at..( i hope my directions aint too hard to understand)



crispy skin pork knuckle - i love this dish so much...the sauce was so nice and the pork skin was so crispy and the meat was tender n juicy..THUMBS UP!!


"fu yu" fried chicken wing - i didnt taste this but according to my colleagues. it tasted ok ok only



"siong tong la la" - another dish i defintely heart. the soup was very flavourful and lots of wolfberries were added to the soup and the freshness of the la la definetely enhanced the taste of the soup..YUMMY !!



sizzling calamari and prawns - another must order dish if u dine at this restaurant.u can see that every single table who dine there order this and i must day the calamaris and the prawns are very fresh ! and the sauce..i m not sure wat sauce it is but definitely it has all our votes that it is very very tasty !



i forgot the name of this dish..i think its some kind of steam sauce with sting ray. haha, i know the picture doesnt look nice but never judge a book by its cover..it tasted not bad but a bit too spicy for those who cant take spicy food.



deep fried bean curd - the normal deep fried bean curd.nothing special to shout about



mini french beans - after so much meat and fried food we shud have some vege...


We bought a cake for Wilson's burfday and we had it as dessert.



ohh hoo....i heart this cake a lot too..first, its has my favourite fruit ~ strawberries... and the texture of the cake was soft with some cream and strawberries inside...definitely HEART it.. hope the burfday boy and my other colleagues love this cake as much as i do !


Overall, its a very good dinner with lots of silly jokes...and i seriously recommend this restaurant to u peeps put there..and the total bill came up to RM190 for the 10 of us (excluding the cake).Do give it a try if u are around Setapak area.


Last but not least, here is a picture of the burfday boy cutting the cake with his wife-to-be. ( i saved this pic from Rachel's blog..hehe)

3JC,Sunway Pyramid


I was at sunway one of the weekends to visit my cousin who stays there. Pick her up and went to Sunway Pyramid.

Undecided on where to lunch so we just walk around and we stop at this restaurant name 3JC ( in mandarin its name is "san jian chuang")

drinks that we ordered.the normal blue soda with lemon,coke and honey lemon

3JC in Sauce~price at rm7.20. - u can choose what type of noodles u wan and my cousin opt for "lo shee fun". tastewise is normal dry version of "lo shee fun" but the pork ball shape was diff.as u can see from the pics it looks like 3 porkballs are sticking together.

3JC in Curry~price at rm9.50. i opt for the homemade noodles therefore its slightly more pricey.Tastewise not bad. Worth a try.

3JC in Soup~ price at rm7.60.my cousin opt for the green home made noodles. additional rm1.00 if u prefer the green homemade noodles.

3JC Soup Rice~price at rm8.20. my brother says it very nice as the soup was very flavourful. i tried a bit and totally agree.

egg plant with minced dried prawns~price at rm3.20. egg plant alwiz my favourite but i find this a bit too oily but overall the fried dried prawns enhanced the taste of the egg plant.

"foo chook" roll ~ price at rm4.50

deep fried wanton~price at rm3.20

Overall, i found the food here acceptable if u totally have no idea of wat to eat. My next visit ?? i think will be quite some time cause i stay far away from Sunway Pyramid.

*opinions expressed here are based on my personal preference and tastebuds.it maybe different for others.thx.no offence ;)

i still have a list of stuff i wan to blog about. my first birthday present, the jimuis gathering, my ipoh CNY......i better be more hardworking or else i wont get to blog bout everything. STAY TUNE !! and continue to collect lots more ang paus before the CNY ends...

Coffee Bean, Pavillion

went to Pavillion yesterday,the very kind him wanted to accompany me to get the pair of shoes i wanted but i got the pair of shoes as my very first birthday present on Friday night( will blog about it later !excited !! *wink wink* )...so went for movies...after movie, went to coffee bean coz he say they has the very very nice chicago cheese cake !


ice blended "something" - not sure wat he ordered, and the alwiz forgetful me forget to snap my hot cafe mocha

the "chicago cheesecake" that he strongly recommend - soft cheese with slight lemon taste. I would say its a good recommendation..bcoz i myself isnt a cheese lover and usually i dun take more than 2 bites but this time i definitely have more than two bites,so if u r at coffee bean n craving for some cheese cake, do give this a try, i bet u'll like it as much as i do..

i like this view (plus the drizzling effect), KLCC was blocked by the duno-wat-name building or else i guess the view will be perfect. I think the view looks beta at night when the lights are on..i must come here again at night to see the difference.

A very nice place with cozy ambience for great get together with friends. Definitely heart this coffee bean in Pavillion,actually coz i never reli hang out at coffee bean,personally prefer starbucks more ;)
