Dynamic Kitty Food & Places

Dine in Date: 28th October 2014

As a reward for whole day hard work and a really long mean of trying the parfait in Nana's Green Tea, me and my dear dear finally take our initiative to taste one of the famous parfait that you definitely see at least a few tables ordering it every time you dine in.

We had several dine in experience in Nana's Green Tea, which in overall we think the food are quite nice. Just that you might need to queue for some time during peak hour.

My dear dear is not that hungry, and she had dinner ready at her home so she just order this one: Chicken Karaage Salad. Basically it's fried chicken and salad. You get to choose japanese style dressing, mentaiko dressing, and roasted sesame dressing. We do not which one is good so we ask for the waiter's recommendation and he recommend us japanese style dressing so we take it. It's kinda taste like sesame dressing, a little sweet but more to sour. Great portion and the fried chicken pieces are a lot, and really big too. This Chicken Karaage Salad cost RM13.80.

As for me, I order Chicken Nanban (or Nanban Chicken) Don that I felt quite nice when I first tasted it. Felt the taste a bit off this time, maybe it's been too long since I first had it. The chicken is just fine, chicken karaage is much better. The mayo on top of the chicken is a little too much, so I felt kinda full after taking it. And as usual, the miso soup taste good. Not too salty but seems the seaweed getting lesser. This one is RM16.80. My dear dear is just feeling okay after the salad, since there is no rice for her (except from my feeding), I'm feeling a little full due to the mayo but we are ready for the parfait, so I request the waiter to serve it after we done with our main meal. And here it is~ It's really tall. If this is not for sharing, I doubt if a huge eater like me can finish it after having a heavy meal. The parfait that we order is Matcha Gateaux parfait. On top of it is the whipped cream. The green tea ice cream on the bottom right of the whipped cream is quite original taste, which is bitter. So adding the whipped cream taste nice. Beside the green tea ice cream is a type of red bean.... ball or something. It's taste differently when you combine the red bean with green tea ice cream & whipped cream. The cake beside the red bean is a not-soft matcha cake. Guess they are putting in the fridge for too long. We both could not describe our feeling when we try to mix the cake with the ice cream or red bean, so we rather eat it separately. After some corn flakes lie underneath the topping, it's a fine taste vanilla ice cream with some green tea pudding waiting for you at the bottom of it. The green tea pudding taste also original. The rest is just to finish it up and stuff ourself before heading home. In overall, the most enjoying part is the topping, as well as the one that enjoy the sweet dessert with you. We might want to try mixing the topping into the vanilla next time too. The parfait is RM19.80.

Due to the reason that I just recover from a mild fever, I follow my friend to the Lot 10 food court located on the lower floor for dinner to have this raw fish porridge. For those who don't like to take it raw, do not worry because you can choose if you want the fish to be cooked or raw.

I saw many tables also order this porridge. And my friend will definitely order this too every time he come here. So I just give it a try.

The waiting time is around 5 minutes. The chef start preparing and cook the porridge once he got my order. Then he put in some green onion and soy sauce in the porridge and voila~

Just like my friend comment, the porridge is fresh, smooth, and well cooked. The fish that I order is raw but I don't taste any fishy taste in it, so it's like sashimi porridge. That's really new to me.

As you can see, the portion is quite huge. I don't need any supper tonight. The original price is RM9.90, after the tax is RM10.50. But I would say it's really worth it due to the portion and the great taste.

The stall of Hon Kee Porridge is located somewhere at the center of the food court. It's in front of Mini Wok, a stall that sell variety of drinks, and a stall that sell only orange juice.

For the purpose of old time (not that old, just bout 2 years) college mates gathering and celebrating one of the mate's birthday, as well as recommended by one of them after trying it at first time, we are here: Mitasu Japanese Restaurant.

I've been to the area around Bukit Bintang, Lot 10, Pavilion a lot but I don't recall knowing this place when I found out it's just a few minutes walk from Lot 10. After some time of wandering walking from Lot 10 to Raja Chulan, I suddenly notice this in a glance Here it is.... Not too hard to find, not too easy to see. It's right under the entrance of Central Plaza building, the building next to Standard Charter building if you are coming from the back entrance of Pavilion that lead to Wisma Cosway and Raja Chulan Monorail station.
This restaurant provide you a menu, and you need to order the food you want from the menu. It doesn't have the type of buffet style for you to take your food from outside and go back to your seat to enjoy it. So you just need to wait for your food after you order it. Good thing is the serving time is quick fast. We still enjoying the half way of our first batch of food and then the second batch all served.

If you are a big fan of oyster and you are looking for some place for you to swallow as much oyster you want, this is the right place. Look at the top right, that's the oyster. It's so fresh that I don't need to squeeze lemon juice on it (due to my own preference to eat original taste as well). You can order as much as you want, just tell the waiter how many oyster you want in the place, they serve you very soon. The middle right is some fried mushroom and.... cucumber, I think. The fried food here is really nice because I don't feel the over fried feeling when chewing on them, I won't feel like I'm only eating on the crunchy and fried food, I can actually taste the real food. For the fried chicken and salad on the bottom, the meat is just fine, although I don't think it's too special because you can find it out there. The salad with some vinegar is great too, not too much of vinegar and the freshness of the vege still there. The sushi.... is not so tempting as you can see. The taste is just normal and we kind regret ordering them. It's taste is okay except I taste quite lots of vinegar in the rice, so kinda make us jelak easier. The fried Ebi on the top is okay too, just that I can taste more fried feeling on the skin. Good thing is I can still taste the prawn really well. This is one great pleasure for me~ Healthy~ Great taste~ Great combination~ Fresh meat (because it's sashimi salad) and vege. If you always want to order some sashimi salad or salad with meats in other Japanese restaurant but concern of the price, here you can order as much as you want. There are various type of salad you can choose from the menu like smoked duck salad, tofu salad, and etc!! Here are more fried foods for us~ The tofu plate (where a hand suddenly invade into it) is something like, probably fried on the outer skin but the tofu inside the skin are totally soft. You can taste a thick tofu but when you bite, it's soft and melting in your mouth! The fried scallop on the middle of the plate is just awesome. The scallop is quite big, and you taste more of the scallop rather than the fried skin. As you can see, we order more of the fried Ebi because we can't have enough of it. Lastly... about the takoyaki on top of the fried scallop, I swear it's like you are biting on ping pong ball. We all comment the same thing. And there is no taste or feeling like you are eating takoyaki. It's the only food we definitely won't order again. More sashimi~ It's salmon, white salmon... and tuna if not mistaken. Lastly, of course we not gonna miss out the ice cream. Soft texture with great taste. The best among all is this green tea ice cream (Sorry I can't wait to swallow it xD) and chocolate ice cream. We seriously stuff our stomach with ice cream until we can't take it any more.

The only thing that doesn't worth it is the drinks. The is one small (I mean really small) drinking machine somewhere in the corner of the restaurant. There are few type of drinks you can choose: green tea, ice lemon tea, and orange juice that doesn't taste special, and some of them taste weird for me. Within 2 hours, the drinks are all finish....

In overall, the food are great and it cost each of RM56.90++. Each of us pay a little extra for the birthday girl so we pay about RM70, so I'm not sure what is the actual amount that charge on us. But I say you can enjoy this buffet as long as you have RM70 with you.

This one is recommended by my girlfriend after she experience dining here with her family. It's located at Aman Suria, I don't really know how to go here if you ask me about the direction because I'm not clear about the place there. But I know it's somewhere you can reach within 5 minutes (if no jam) from Kelana Jaya LRT station. So there we are, when we reach there around 7pm, half of the cafe is occupied by people but we managed to get a seat. But soon a few group of people came and the cafe is totally full.

As recommended by my girl, I order Grilled Beer Braised Boston Butt that worth RM33.90 from the menu. It's basically pork meat dipped with beer for three to hours before cooking and serving customer. I was served quite soon, like in about 5 minutes after ordering. If you are a big fan of pork, you must try this one. I don't really taste the beer, but the meats is sooooo soft & tasty that..... argh, hungry again. The meat is totally soft and you can taste some smoking flavor and the result of well grilling. With the tasty gravy as topping, I don't really know what gravy it is but it's just nice, the taste get even better. For side dishes, you are served with smashed potato with another type of gravy, lots of green beans, and two thin sliced of giant carrot.

The portion is just nice. For a huge eater like me, I feel kind of jelak. My girl can't finish her portion due to the gravy so I finish up her portion as well. Ended up is.... quite jelak. But at least I don't need to look for supper later.

There are tons of other selections in the menu as well. Just in case you wonder, in the snacks/dessert section, there is one dishes known as "Dog Food", and that's mainly to serve you, me and all customers, and not for dog. Not really sure what it is thou.

I also order a cup of hot lemon tea that cost RM5. I can taste the nice lemon flavor and not too much sugar in it. Quite enjoying it.

Just happen that my sister has the Groupon to get Brotzeit Platter that serve for 4 to 5 pax. Without the Groupon, this platter cost about RM200++. So I went here with my family for this meat feast. Before this, my colleagues mentioned about this restaurant and she can't praise enough of the food after she had some kind of pork knuckle.

Brotzeit German Bier Bar (not sure of i can call it Beer Bar instead), is famous of their pork platter and various German main courses, side dishes, and German beer. I don't have the chance to taste the beer as me and my family going at lunch time, and we not fancy about beer. I saw a lot of people dine in here just for their beer after working hour. Not sure how good it is thou.

The waiters & waitress are quite friendly. Lots of them are around so we don't need to get to wait too long calling them to take our order. We just show our groupon and they immediately know what to do without much question. Environment wise is okay, the place kind of giving me the feeling I'm eating in an old fashion pub, with the mexico-like background music (I'm not sure that's German song or other languages). The only problem is that, the Brotzeit Platter that we order need a lot of preparation time and we got starved for like 20 minutes.

When the platter is finally served, here it is We were quite starving so it looks as if we can finish all of them without problem. The entire platter are mainly consist of meats. Pork knuckle, another-pork-meat, sausage, and little bit of vege at random spot at the platter. Here come the best part. After we eating it, I gotta say the Pork Knuckle is AWESOME!! The meat is soft, nice to chewed, and the taste just right. I can taste the meat and the flavor together, and the flavor doesn't take away the taste of the meat. It's well cooked, and same for the rest of the meat. Not as awesome as Pork Knuckle, the other-pork-meat is cooked in a different way, not too much of flavoring but with the original taste of the meat. The sausage is slightly spicy but that's giving a great taste for each bite (My stomach growl really loud now *drool....*). But the meats are served with something BBQ sauce and other dressing, so it's kinda jelak after taken huge portion of it.

For the side dishes, we order roasted potatoes and potato salad. The potato salad is a little jelak because of the dressing, but it taste great. A bit like smashed potato. The roasted potato is crunchy but not over fried. I can still taste the potato in it.

I also order a cranberry juice that cost me around RM10. The cranberry taste is not that much but at least I think they don't add extra sugar in it. So it's quite a nice feel after having all those meats.

*Note: Brotzeit is not located inside Mid Valley, you need to look for Maybank and the police office that facing the road between Mid Valley and the Garden outside of Mid Valley. If you are outside the center court, you need to go straight to the direction where you can see Delicious Cafe, Antipodean, Chillis... and keep moving straight until you see Brotzeit on your right.
