Cinnamon : One Utama

Had a great farewell dinner with Ban Joo & Guo Rong at Cinnamon :D It's located inside One World Hotel, in One Utama. Definitely one of the best buffet I've ever had! As usual, they have a wide range of food and beverage variety like appetizers, salads, homemade soups, grills, Italian cuisine, Japanese cuisine and even local cuisine. You can also order a la carte from their menu.


Main deco piece in the hotel



All the awards they have received

Different types of fruits

Chocolate fondue 

Roasted lamb leg with side veggies

Desserts! (my fav ^^)

Chocolate cake

Fruit tarts! The custard inside is smooth and not too sweet! *thumbs up*

Look how pretty and neat the design is :)

Mumbojumbo of what I took

 Large fresh oysters

This waiter flambeed our special dessert with caramel!

It might not look much...but it tastes TOO GOOD! 
Mixed fruits with ice cream. 
Absolutely love!

Not really my name (missing an 'e') but...

It's served smoking hot and spicy. Very flavorful :)

Smoked salmon (fesh and tasty), potato gratin, beef with black pepper sauce (really good!!) 
and roasted lamb leg with mushroom sauce

My last round of dessert consisting of carrot cake, red velvet cake, 
fruit tarts, lychee pudding and some weird green potion (lol jk! idk what it was.. )


Buffet lunch : Rm 72++ 
Buffet dinner : Rm 85++
*Children will be priced differently*

If I had to rate on a scale of 10, being 1 least satisfactory,
Food : 8/10
Cleanliness : 9.5/10
Service : 8/10
Price : 7/10
Design : 9/10

This restaurant that serves local and international delights is the perfect place to satisfy all your cravings! It not only uses an open-kitchen concept but also has a garden terrace for alfresco dining. I'd recommend this place for those who seek an adequate and satisfying meal that has abundance choices!

Dim Sum Breakkie : SS2

Morning peeps! Today mommy, cousin Ivan & I decided to have early breakfast at Loong Seng restaurant. This restaurant has been around for as long as I can remember (around 20 years) and they specialize in dim sum. If you don't know what dim sum is, it's a type of Cantonese food prepared in small bite sized portion served on small plates or in the traditional steamer baskets. I've only tried dim sum at a few places but I really like the ones they sell here. At Loong Seng, they sell more than 35 types of dim sum such as siew mai, har gao, wu kok, chee cheong fun, loh mai kai, egg tart, dumplings, all types of pau, porridge and even logan tau fu fa dessert. The dim sum here is made by hand daily to ensure the quality and its freshness. They cater their dim sum to everyone everyday, starting from 5am up until 2pm. If you're looking for somewhere nice to have breakfast or brunch, do drop by! You won't regret! :D


Be early! It starts to get pretty packed around  9am

 Just look at all the siew mai  O_O *drools*

My all time favorite! Must try!! wu kok 
* Made from deep fried yam with meat pieces and peas filling

A great variety of pau
( kaya, custard, char siew, lin yong, pandan etc)


I'm not sure what the yellow ones are called 
but they have century eggs inside!

I like to dip my dim sum in sweet sauce instead of chili ^^

Different types of deep fried yummies

Fu-chok

Do try the pan fried dumplings. 
They're really good! :D 
RM6 

 char siew pau
*Tastes not bad, the amount of filling is proportionate with the size of the pau 
and is served piping hot!

 This is what it looks like inside. Simple hawker style.
 They also have upstairs which is air conditioned for those who dislike the heat.

The Ship : Damansara Utama

Today mommy decided to bring us (grandparents, aunt and I) out for a slightly more fancy dinner than usual. We went to The Ship at Damansara near Uptown around 7pm ish and it's already packed with people! Maybe cause buka puasa time. Been visiting this restaurant since I was 10 yrs old and although the menu and price has changed a little, but the food and service is still as osm as ever *thumbs up* :) The restaurant itself takes the outlook design of a ship and to complement the theme, the waiters and waitresses wear maritime uniform! Cool right ^^ They offer a variety of food and beverage, ranging from appetizers, soup, seafood, poultry, continental cuisine, cold buffet & salad and even Chinese cuisine! I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for above average Western food that is not extremely pricey. Besides the unique design and quick service, it is suitable for family or couples who want a different ambiance.
