Fancy some casual dining at a laidback place with sumptuous delicacies and jazzy music from the 90s in the background?

Franco might just be the place for you. A French-Japanese restaurant, Franco offers fusion food with interesting twist. I visited the outlet with my husband recently and thought what they had to offer is pretty cool. Here’s sharing what we had:

Souffle Cheese, Ice Tea with Softie,
Matcha Smoothie and Berries Cheesecake

Souffle Cheese. This is something that I ordered out of whim and had no high expectation on it. But I’m glad I picked this from the menu. The Souffle Cheese is surprisingly delicious. It was not cloyingly sweet with soft and airy texture. Highly recommended dessert for you to try.

Berries Cheesecake. Cheesecakes traditionally comes in slices. But not in Franco. Cheesecakes are pretty much modernized over here and served somewhat deconstructed in a transparent glass. So, was it as nice as it looks? Definitely. But a forewarning. It is highly addictive, so be prepared to have seconds.

Ice Tea with Softie and Matcha Smoothie. These were surprisingly good, especially the ice tea with soft serve on top. The sweetness of the soft serve ice cream complement the slightly bitter ice tea pretty well.

Overall the dining experience here at Franco is very pleasant. Highly recommended for those who are on dates or those who just want to have a relaxing time with creatively created meals to tantalize your palate.

Paddington House of Pancakes offers all sort of pancakes from across the globe. Pancakes are well known for being sweet but here in Paddington House of Pancakes, they have savoury ones as well.

I’ve tried some of the pancakes personally and thought that they’re pretty good. Some of the recommended items on their menu are: Wellington, Monaco Savoury Flapjack, Chocolate Fondue and Strawberry New York Cheesecake.

Wellington is one of their ‘burger’ version of pancake meal. Cooked to perfection, the patties are left to be a little juicy and served with a side of adeptly fried fries.

Monaco Savoury Flapjack is highly recommended for big eaters. Savoury pancakes are stacked up together and topped with juicy grilled lamb with a side of seasonal veggies and creamy mashed potatoes on the side. Definitely a must order if you want something filling.

Chocolate Fondue is definitely a must try for those who have sweet tooth. A personal fondue pot comes that comes with a bowl of mini pancake, mini marshmallows, strawberries, banana and crushed nuts with cinnamon.

Strawberry New York Cheesecake is not your regular cheesecake slice. It comes prettily stacked up inside a glass. Dig in and you’ll find yourselves a piece of heaven.

Then head over to Sushi Tei. They are offering quite an extensive list on their menu for a reasonable price. Below are some of the highlights, recommended and handpicked by Sushi Tei’s staffs:

Kirishima (18pcs), Tan Tan Ramen and
Soft Shell Crab Kani Salad

Kirishima (18pcs). This set is great for sharing, but if you are a big eater, one set might not be enough.

Tan Tan Ramen came in a huge portion. Also, recommended for sharing or those who are big eater. The broth is mildly creamy but on the spicy, but nothing a novice can’t handle.

There are plenty of nice dimsum shops around in Kuala Lumpur but if you are looking for Muslim friendly ones, that’s another story altogether. It’s pretty hard to find a nice pork-free or Muslim friendly dimsum restaurants as most of them are non-Halal or pork serving. Here’s sharing a dimsum restaurant that’s Muslim friendly; Dolly Dimsum.

Dolly Dimsum is a modern intrepretation of a traditional Chinese teahouse. There’s a few Dolly Dimsum outlets in Kuala Lumpur but here’s sharing what my family and I had at their Nu Sentral outlet.

Plenty on the menu for you to choose from, Dolly Dimsum offers an all day dim sum grazing experience.

Some of the recommended items on their menu are as below:

Har Gao Dumpling and Yam Croquette. I did not take a bite of the Yam Croquette as I’m allergic to yam, but the dumplings are not too bad. Wrapped in thin layer of skin, the dumplings were stuffed with juicy prawns, giving you a pretty much satisfying but addictive bite.

Siew Mai Dumpling and Dolly Mozza Roll. These duo is a must try if you like fried dimsums.

Egg Custard Bun and Salad Prawn Dumpling. The egg custard bun may look normal but don’t let the apprarance deceive you. It’s filled with creamy and eggy surprises. Definitely a must try. Salad Prawn Dumpling on the other hand, were nicely crisps and flavourful.

Overall, the dining experience in Dolly Dimsum is all right. Highly recommended for you to patronize during non peak hours if you want to slowly enjoy what they have to offer on their extensive menu.

Like most Dimsum Restaurants, this restaurant accepts walk ins but a reservation prior visit is recommended if you are heading over in a group or a large crowd.

Are you a huge fan of Kpop bands and group? I’m not really into Kpop thingie but I’m certainly a huge fan of Kdrama, which makes me as bad as the raving kids who swoon for their Kpop idols. Like most of them, I’m not exempted from falling in love with all things Korean, and that includes food.

There are plenty of Korean food restaurant around in Kuala Lumpur but if you are looking for some Korean food fix, then B.bap Korean Food is a must visit. They are offering authentic Korean dishes on their menu.

The restaurant can cater to decent amount of crowds and makes quite a great place for small gatherings with family and friends. Below are some of the dishes that I would personally recommend for you to try:

Dolsot Bibimbap Octopus. The dolsot bibimbab is actually Korean mixed rice served in a stone bowl filled with a variety of vegetables and octopus and topped with a runny fried egg. A very tantalizing dish and great for those who wants something filling.

Kimchi Jiggae Beef. My friend had this. I can’t comment much on the taste but from the look of it, it’s quite nice as he polished it off within minutes.

Soon Dubu Jiggae, or rather, spicy soft tofu stew. This is another one of my all time favourite Korean dish. It was generously served with soft tofu and assorted seafood. Perfectly flavoured, I reckon I’ll be ordering this again in my next visit.

Teok Bokki (Korean Rice Cake). Commonly found on the streets of Seoul, but very uncommon in Malaysia. I ordered this to share, but it was gone before I could have a taste of it. I guess this was as good as it looks too. Another one that I’ll be ordering on my next visit, I suppose.

Pa Jeon (Korean Spring Onion and Seafood Pancake). While my husband is not quite a fan of Pa Jeon as he is not quite fond of spring onions, my son and I adore Pa Jeon and I would certainly make sure that we order it whenever we patronize any Korean restaurants. Slightly peppered with shallots and small prawns, the pancake were fried to a slight char, Pa Jeon is pretty addictive on it’s own. Good to go on it’s own but if you want to take things up a notch, dip it with the special sourish dipping sauce on the side.

The restaurant is Muslim friendly and offers quite an impressive option on their menu, so you definitely won’t feel disappointed over here.

If there’s one thing about me is that I don’t really care about what I put in my mouth as long as it’s yummy and tasty. But then again, I somewhat live on the fast lane and most of the time my body requires me to nourish myself with food that will be able to provide me alot of energy. Here’s one place in Klang Valley that offers not only delicious and healthy food, but superfood that is packed with energy as well; La Juiceria Superfoods.

La Juiceria Superfoods, The Verve Shop, Mont Kiara

My family and I were planning for a jungle trekking a day after we visited this outlet so we decided to mostly go with carbo-based stuff that’s being offered on the menu. Here’s some of the superfood that we tried at the La Juiceria Superfoods, Mont Kiara: Build Your Own Gourmet Salad, Smoked Duck Soba, Teriyaki Chicken Greenbowl, Nasi Lemak Wrap, GC Dip, Mushroom Soup, Acai Berry Smoothies, Watermelon Slushies, Minty Lemon

GC Dip. Made with spinach, mozzarella cheese and served with wholesome baguette slices, this healthy green is full of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. Spinach has an extremely high nutritional value and is rich in antioxidants

Mushroom Soup. Mushroom Soup. Initially we were recommended something else, but I wasn’t feeling so adventurous and wanted Mushroom Soup instead, and I’m glad I stick with my option. Conjured with all sorts of mushrooms and a drizzle of olive oil and roasted almonds on top, this creamy bowl goodness packed quite a punch. Served with garlic flavoured baguettes, the Mushroom Soup offers comfort to the tummy within seconds. Bursting with natural flavours, my husband loves this so much and polished everything off. This would definitely on our list should we revisit the cafe again.

Build Your Own Gourmet Salad.
Here’s how to customise your salad bowl at La Juiceria Superfoods:

1. Start off by choose your salad size: Petit, Medium or Grand.
2. Select your variety base, mains, supplementary items and prime for your salad bowl.
3. Pick your preferred dressing from a list of 10 house-made dressings.

We had the Grand. I wanted to have something heavy and filling and so I chose pasta as the base with crabsticks, edamame, roasted potatoes, grilled mushrooms, boiled kampung eggs and supplemented with beef bacon bits as well as parmesan cheese and served with a side of grilled Forequarter lamb and Thousand Island Sauce. Not something the true

Smoked Duck Soba was really promosing, with perfectly flavoured noodles and generous serving of smoked duck and onsen eggs on the side. Definitely something you would want to order if you’re looking for a quick energy boost.

Teriyaki Chicken Greenbowl was sensational. The Teriyaki Chicken were smokey and flavourful and complement the grains pretty well.

Nasi Lemak Wrap. A wonderful rendition to the traditional all time Malaysian favourite Nasi Lemak. Great busy individuals for who wants to savour nasi lemak but without the hassle of having to sit down and digging in. Tastewise, it is delicious too. So should you patronize La Juiceria Superfoods, do order this. I reckon you will like it.

‘Dessert’ was a smoothie bowl. We had the highly recommended Acai Berry Smoothie Bowl and was left wanting more. The Acai Berry smoothies were smoothly concocted and topped with strawberries, shredded coconuts, bananas chia seeds, cacao nibs, and bee pollen. It was nothing short of sensational. Regretfully, we were too stuffed from our salad earlier to treat ourselves with a second helping of the smoothie bowl.

Overall, the dining experience here surpassed my expectation in terms of food offerings and service. La Juiceria Superfoods offers a whole lot of stuff on their menu that will leave you supercharged and refreshed at the end of your meals. Definitely great for the health conscious and for those whose intention is to carbo-load before their upcoming outdoor activities that’s streneous on the body.
