Lunch set at Marble 8 @ KLCC

Marble 8 is a fine dining restaurant that you can't go on your own without escort :-). In order to access level 56 of Menara 3 Petronas, the restaurant staff will escort you thru the 2 lifts and need to pass by a security check. Marble 8 restaurant interior were quite elegant black. I choose their 4 course meal lunch set which includes an appetizer, pasta, main course and dessert. The pasta portion itself is quite huge and filling.

Taste:8/10(Good. Special mention to their crispy bread as it is very good. The appetizer and pasta are both creamy and tasty. The steak combination were already good but slightly hard. Just wondering of why the recommendation of the steak to be prepared as medium when it should be best on medium rare).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. The price for lunch set is quite reasonable and big portion. You won't get such good price if you were to dine here for dinner. 3-course lunch set at MYR78.00 and 4-course at MYR118.00. Subject to service charge of 10% and tax of 6%)


Grilled black Angus fillet with with cannellini beans, spring onion & beef jus.

The bread and olive condiments is quite tasty.

Japanese style teppanyaki dinner at Osaka Kitchen @ J'S Gate Dining, Lot 10 Kuala Lumpur

Osaka Kitchen located at in J'S Dining section on 4th floor of Lot 10 shopping centre in the heart of Bukit Bintang. They serve authentic Japanese style teppanyaki meal such as okonomiyaki, teppanyaki, yakisoba and grilled meat. The food were cooked on an iron griddle in from of diners. They have ala carte and course set meal. Choose set meal if you would like to try multiple items at cheaper price. This restaurant is quite famous as its the only restaurant in J'S Gate dining which has long queue. Plus the open kitchen concept is another attraction as you can see how fast those chefs are cooking your meal.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Food quality and taste is quite good and food preparation are done by two Japanese chefs. I like all the meal served. Salad were fresh with sesame dressing. I enjoy more of their grilled chicken dish compared to their grilled pork dish. The grilled chicken has more seasoning, softer, crispy skin and tender meat. The grilled avocado with melted cheese is awesome. Japanese omelette with chunks of pork belly is tasty as well. As for okonomiyaki is a bit lacking of ingredients as it only contains cabbage and batter. Dessert comes with 3 choices of vanilla, green tea and yuzu. The best choice would be yuzu as the taste is refreshing).
Price:6/10(Moderate. Price were quite reasonable as I ordered one chicken special course and one pork course set meal. Chicken special course at MYR51.00 and pork course at MYR42.00. Green tea at MYR6.00. The special course come with okonomiyaki, rice and soup).

I recommend to try this shop due to not many such good Japanese style teppanyaki restaurant around in Kuala Lumpur. And the price is quite reasonable.

Delicious Malay cuisine at De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan @ The LINC, Kuala Lumpur

Restaurant De.Wan 1958 by Chef Wan is quite popular even though it just open its door about 3 weeks ago. Many would like to try the dishes of this popular celebrity chef which I watched his cooking programme on television during my secondary school days. The food served are authentic Malay cuisine with free flow of 3 types of rice. They have white, yellow and egg rice. I personally like their egg rice the most as its very tasty with lots of shallots and dried prawns.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. I like their peanut sauce chicken as the meat is tender and the rich and creamy peanut sauce flavour absorbed into the chicken, makes this dish quite good. The oxtail soup is tasty with strong aromatic of local spices flavour. The soup is thick and the broth is tasty with their rice. The daging rendang Selangor is good but its not that memorable. The meat still not tender enough and this type of rendang is a bit wet. Bubur som som dessert is very good if you like very sweet stuff. I personally like the dessert. But if you don't like sweet, I don't think you will like such super intense sweetness of gula Melaka).
Price:3/10(Expensive. Peanut sauce chicken at MYR32.00, oxtail soup at MYR33.00, daging rendang Selangor at MYR59.00, bubur som som dessert at MYR16.00 and rice at MYR7.00 per person).

I would recommend my fellow readers to try this restaurant if they would like to taste authentic Malay food and to enjoy the good ambiance of the restaurant plus probability of meetup with Chef Wan himself there.


Nice and elegant reception.

Oxtail soup. Aromatic and thick broth that goes very well with their rice.

Peanut sauce chicken and daging rendang Selangor.

This dish of peanut sauce chicken is outstanding.

I less enjoy this daging rendang Selangor as I expected something drier and more tender beef.

Yellow rice and egg rice with oxtail. Yummy.

Mr Chew 's Chino Latino Bar @ WOLO Kuala Lumpur

Mr Chew's Chino Latino bar located at the Penthouse of WOLO Kuala Lumpur. The place offers good fusion food and variety of cocktails. I just going to review about their lunch set which I had it recently. The decoration inside the restaurant is fantastic with nice portrait.

Taste:8/10(Good. The lunch set food overall is good but not outstanding. Food presentation were good. The fried fish is a bit dry in the sweet fish bun and the taste is mostly enhanced by mayonnaise. The steamed bun however were perfect as its soft and light. The Yuzukosho tamarind chicken main dish was slightly overcooked and caused the meat to be a bit harder. Taste wise, the chicken is good. I like the dessert of lychee, mango and panna cotta. The dessert mixture taste were well executed and refreshing).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. The lunch set plus dessert here will cost you MYR60.00. Their dessert however is optional. If you just want the appetizer and main without dessert, its at MYR45.00).

I would recommend you to come here if you would like to try decent fusion food and enjoy the nice fancy restaurant ambiance.

Dinner at Thirty8 @ Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur

Came here for dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday. He wanted to try out the THIRTY8 signature cake. At first, I was a bit skeptical on the selection of the cake. However, after tried on it, the cake was indeed very good. The chocolate used is of high quality just like the type used to make Godiva and Royce chocolate. Smooth and rich.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. We ordered beef burger, sushi platter and the signature dessert. All the food were good but special mention to the dessert. Sushi platter were fresh with 11 pieces of premium sushi including toro, horse mackerel, flounder and sea urchin. However, the sea urchin is a bitter type which is not from Japan).
Price:3/10(Expensive. This is a fine dining restaurant with great view of Petronas Twin Towers. Price is expensive here with sushi platter at MYR165, signature cake at MYR60.00 and burger at MYR55.00).

Delicious cakes and pastries from Good Ground Bakery @ SS17, Subang Jaya

Good Ground Bakery is a hidden gem in Subang Jaya which make good pastries, cakes and biscuits. This is not a cafe but cater more to wholesale market and for take away. However, customers can still opt to sit at the one long table to enjoy their freshly baked goodies. The bakery concept is using natural and healthier ingredients and less sugar.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. I like their banana cake and the flour less chocolate brownie with walnut. Both are outstanding and taste very good. The chocolate is melt in your mouth type and the banana cake using real pisang berangan. One of my friend said the banana cake taste like cecodok pisang. Its somehow 70% true but this cecodok is healthier, tastier and lesser oil plus quite filling. I also tried their mushroom quiche which is good but the scones need some improvement).
Price:6/10(Reasonable. The price is quite reasonable with banana cake at MYR6.00 for a thick slice and MYR36.00 for whole loaf. Flour less brownie at MYR13, mushroom onion quiche at MYR8.00).


Good Ground Bakery make their items in small batches and using good quality ingredients. Using real butter and taste real good too.

This flour less brownie with walnut is outstanding. Suitable for those looking for gluten free dessert.

Mushroom onion quiche are good as well.

Huge scone but taste wise still need some improvement.

Didn't brought this but from the chocolate look, it will somehow feel like it will melts in your mouth too.

The only available long table if you would like to have your cakes or pastries here.

Simple shop and don't expect to dine here. Cater for take away.

Take away banana cake to enjoy it with family. Looks at the texture. Using real pisang berangan.

Good lunch set from Lugdunum Bouchon Lyonnais @ Tokyo, Japan

Lugdunum Bouchon Lyonnais is a good French restaurant with one Michelin star serving Lyon style French cuisine. Nice atmosphere and a lovely place to spend a few hours to dine here. The lunch is reasonably priced and quite good. I choose their Le Menu du Déjeuner which comes with an appetizer, main dish and dessert plus coffee.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. All the 3 dishes that I ordered are quite good. Special mention to Quenelles of Lyon served with Nantua sauce which taste like lobster sauce and very good. The meal is quite filling as well. Salad with bacon were tasty and for dessert, the praline tart does standout. I can taste the hazelnut paste. As for the snow egg, there is chopped hazelnuts on top of the meringue. The meringue floats on top of cream and its so light and dissolved the moment I put it into my mouth).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. The 3 course set lunch meal at 2950 Yen).


Lyon style salad served with a cake of pig’s ears

Nice baguette bread.

Chicken mushroom pie at A Pie Thing @ Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya

A Pie Thing has been around for quite a while in Damansara Uptown serving good decent pie. You can have their savory or sweet pie. The good pie here is their chicken mushroom or mutton pie. The cafe environment at this place makes it good place for meet up and discussion or just to chill.

Taste:8/10(Good. I satisfied with the taste of the chicken mushroom pie here however I think they can still improve on the taste of the crust).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. The pie basic pie here with gravy cost MYR13.50).


Chicken mushroom pie with gravy. The filling were moist and tasty but the crust needs improvement as not much flavour on it.

Some of their savory pies.
