Oyster Night dinner at Champignons at Oasis @ Ara Damansara

Champignons in Oasis Ara Damansara is a French restaurant serving freshly made french cuisine. Visited them as they have their first oyster night. The food were good and they have many customers looking forward to try their oysters.

Taste:8/10(Good. The oysters were good and quite fresh but the selection is quite limited and small size. The restaurant has wrongly estimate the demand for their oysters and we feel not enough even though we have taken 2 dozens. The first round were ok but second round oysters were small. Truffle chicken breast with risotto mushroom taste great with very tender meat and smooth. Sausages were great as well. A bit disappointing that they only give one lamb sausage on the platter. It should have 2 each).
Price:3/10( Expensive. The oysters at MYR7.00 a piece, truffle chicken breast with risotto rice at MYR45.00, house wine at MYR30.00 and sausage platter at MYR35.00).

I would recommend you to come here to taste their well executed food such as the trufle chicken breast and their homemade sausages. They have a good lunch set deals as well but of course its for other menu.


The size of oysters on first round selection is quite big.

Good house wine.

Nice oysters but selection is quite limited. Second round oysters a bit small and seems not enough for the customers.

Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee @ Petaling Jaya

One of the famous and good Hokkien mee shop in Petaling Jaya. Good place to have dinner or supper since its located just opposite of Starling Mall. The popularity also could be due to many nightlife drinking place around the area and people come here to have their supper after drinking or clubbing since they open until 2.30am.

Taste:8/10(Good. Although this restaurant name is hokkien mee and known for their signature dish, but I found out their hokkien beehoon taste better. Advantage that they have is their crunchy pork lard which is yummy).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. Selling at MYR11 for a portion of the hokkien noodles. This at the air-conditioned side of the restaurant. Not sure about non air-conditioned side. Service wise is like they are lack of people. Parking is a problem here).

Yilo restaurant & bar @ Taman Megah, Petaling Jaya

Yilo restaurant & bar serves good chinese hawker style food and drinks. Its good place for hangout but if you prefer quiet place, then this place is not suitable. Its rather noisy and you will need to shout during conversation. I would say the environment here is a bit like the Japanese izakaya style which is noisy and smokey. Food and drink however were good and tasty.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. This place is famous to be crowded. Do come earlier or during weekend to enjoy the food and drink here. The menu is rather huge with plenty of Chinese food and cocktail selection. I ordered fried kway teow with raw egg and beef fried kway teow with raw egg. Both food were good. Drink were good especially the Guinness beer as they have salted plum taste).
Price:6/10(Moderate. The price of food item and drink here are quite reasonable. Meal for one price around MYR12 to MYR18 and cocktail start from MYR20. The signature drink here is their Guinness beer mix price at MYR48 per ceramic jug).

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The roasted pork pizza with plenty of fat siew yoke is the highlight. The iberico pork rib were awesome as quite flavourful and the bacon salad comes with loads of crunchy bacon.).
