Chili's. Schmili's.

Sigh. I went to Chili's Grill & Bar in such HIGH HIGH HIGH hopes. Then, they go and do THIS
to me.
What is that you ask, well... that is the PUNY little itsy bitsy teeny weeny portion of Country Fried CHICKEN Steak. Yes. CHICKEN steak. They changed their menu and got rid of the BEEF steak. So now, I am paying Rm34.95 for KFC taste alike. The garlic bread was bland, the mashed potato looks dodgy but tasted alright. My only favourite thing is the corn, but then I generally like corn so it doesn't count.

If that wasn't bad enough they did THIS
to me!
What is that you ask? Triple Play for Rm 22.95. In this picture you can't see how small it is, but I will show you another.
Cheng cheng! All that for the wonderful price of Rm22.95, don't you feel like you're getting your money's worth.

The only thing probably worth going there for is...
This! Bottomless Tostada Chips Rm9.95.
Well, it's only worth it cos it's BOTTOMLESS. So if you're low on cash, and you're VERY hungry, just order this and ice water and keep eating and drinking till you go blue in the face.

Yes. I paid Rm78.04 for a child's meal.


Other stuff I ate but didn't take picture of:
Molten Chocolate Cake Rm19.90 or Rm19.95 (don't quite remember)
I feel kinda short changed for paying Rm20 for a piece of dessert. Especially when the dessert is the same price as the burgers. Okay la, the portion is pretty big, the cake is nice, the ice-cream and fudge nothing too special but complimented the cake well. But I feel that it should be priced at Rm15 - 16. 20 bucks for dessert is just TOO MUCH!

Chili's Chili Rm6.90/5 per cup, Rm9.90/5 per bowl
Mmm, this I liked. Got chili, got beef, what's not to like! I should go and have it again soon.

Honestly, TGIFriday's is bettah. Or if you must eat at Chili's, go for the burgers.

DimSum. *heart*heart*heart*

In the mornings Goldview Hakka Food Restaurant is a DimSum place, at night it's a Hakka food place. Today class, we will be telling you about DimSum. Everyone say 'DimSum'. Good class. So clever. You all get A's.
So yeah, anyway this place is actually the sister branch of the famous DimSum place in Taman Megah, you know the one near Ming Tien? Same row as Cake Sense. Ya, that one. Ini sister punya branch.

So anyway, I let you all know first, I do NOT know the names of all these DimSums, if you all do please email me and let me know!! Cos I really wanna know. Email is at side panel. The ones I do know I will write the names la, but names correct or not I not sure.

So here we gooooooo!

Stuffed Eggplants Prawn something?Egg tarts! Sadly, these egg tarts weren't as tasty as I would like them to be.Siew Mai!! Love love love love love!Dunno what's it called, but TASTY!!! One of my favs!!
Overall, everything was pretty good. I would definitely go back there again. In fact, I wish I could go back there now!

Price for everything + 1 pot of tea :Rm89 for 6 people!
Oh, and please disregard the address that is chopped there, cos I believe the address is wrong.
Definitely worth it.

Ps: For those of you who don't know, I'm working. Working at a food place. Which food place? Too bad. Not telling. For those who do know, no need to broadcast to world ya. Thanks! :)

Over-rated. Over-charged. Under-Taste.

At first I thought, 'aiya... this place got so many good reviews from everyone, surely I will go back a second time to take pictures'. Heh. But after this first time, probably won't wanna go back. What's the place? Dragon-i. (So yes, this post will have NO pictures. They don't deserve it!)
Yeah, yeah you all are probably thinking, 'what? how can? that place is so famous!'. Well, it's famous alright. Famous for cheating you out of your hard earned money!

Ways they cheat you:

1. When you are seated at your table, the table is already set with those 'napkins' that are in a packet, you know the scented ones.
2. Then they serve you a small, small teeny tiny plate about 1 inch in diameter of some kinda peanut/bean thing.
3. They charge Rm1 per glass of water. (classy places don't charge for water.)
4. They charge Rm9 for their famous Xiao Long Bau aka Soup Dumpling, which only has 4 teeny tiny pieces. (Okay, this one is tasty, tastier if you eat it with the ginger they provide, otherwise it's a little plain.)
5. They charge Rm15-18 for a bowl of La Mien. They serve their soup La Mien in a GIANT bowl, but only fill it upto 1/3.

About the food:

1. Famous Xiao Long Bau aka Soup Dumpling. Rm9. (described as above)
2. Sichuan La Mien. Rm15 or 16, don't remember. (NOT SICHUAN AT ALL! Has some kinda weird peanut taste. Beks.)
3. Dried La Mien with Seafood. Rm16. (At least better than the Sichuan, but not worth Rm16.)

So the total for TWO people:
Rm50.40

If you do go there, make sure you only order the Rm9 dimsum and tell them NO to appetizer and napkin. Oh, and all the dishes we ordered were recommended by them.

Round Fluffy Things

This post will include J.Co Donuts & Big Apple Donuts. Enjoy!

J.Co Donuts
Don't you think their logo looks a little like Starbucks? It's like the peacock in the circle is suppose to replace the Starbucks girl.
Clockwise from bottom left: Crunchy Crunchy, Oreology, Caviar Mint, Don Mochino, Heaven Berry. Rm10.95 6 Pieces
My favourite is definitely the Heaven Berry. Wow. The glaze on top is thick and creamy, the filling.. eh, who cares, all I care about it the glaze on top. Oreology is not bad, but I feel that they should put more Oreos on top, not Oreoy enough. The rest... so-so.

Big Apple Donuts
Sorry to say, the receipt didn't write what I bought so I can't remember what they're called.
Oh, and I bought 6 pieces each time, so the 2 pictures are actually 2 separate purchases.

If you had to buy donuts for the day, definitely DON'T go for Dunkin Donuts. They suck. They taste cheap. I think it's cos it's so floury. Beks.

Anyway between J.CO & Big Apple, they're about the same. The names of their donuts are about the same, the way they describe their donuts about the same, the way they package same, the way their logo looks also same, all same same la. Except I don't think Big Apple has the Heaven Berry, which I just LOVE! So creamy! It's like a rich, creamy, tastier version of Chupa Chups Strawberry & Cream. And I'm all about Strawberry & Cream.

And the long lines for these donuts? Alaaaa, kinda over-rated la. It's nice... but not to say you CAN'T live without it or you will DIE if you don't eat it. So over-rated la.

Pizza.Pasta.Pork.Vino.

I am Chinese. I like Pork. I am a Chinese who likes Pork. So anyway, Dave's at 1 Utama has been having this....
it's been on since foreveeeeeeeeeeer. It never ends. I like things that never endssssss...

So I'm sure you're wondering what all the Pork is about...
Well.....
TA-DAAAAAA! *please note that ALL bacon & ham used is EQUIVALENT only to PORK! WOW WEEEEEEEEE!!! First place ever to see that!!!!! So being the Cheapies that we are, we of course went during 12pm - 5pm.

Cabonara with bacon & meatballs Rm14 (after discount)
Well, not the best carbonara that's for sure, but for Rm14 it's aight la. I'd probably only go back for the pork.

Tomato Plain Pasta with No cheese Rm10 (after discount)
Not too bad, for Rm10 I say it's pretty worth it. You can ask Popo for more details.

Complimentary Wine
Pretty good stuff. Po says it's probably around the Rm60 range.

Total:
sjgdfgdfbgjfb gkjabgjksbijgbd RM1 FOR WATER!!!! fbjgbsfhgifshgikshgistr
Except for the Rm1 for water, this place is pretty good if you go during 12pm-5pm, but if had to pay full price I don't think it's worth it.

Fave Fave Fave!

Taste wise, Logenhaus is officially one of my favourite restaurants! It is definitely not as hip as Fridays, Chilli's, Tony Roma's etc, but for the quantity, service and taste it's worth it.


Complimentary Garlic Bread
Not too bad, but not that great though.

Set Dinner
Hungarian Goulash
This was interesting, I didn't know what to expect with this soup, but if you like meat, lots of it, this soup is for you.
+
Mignon Beef Steak wrapped with Beef Bacon
Okay, you may not be able to see the bacon, but I assure you it is wrapped around that piece of tasty meat! The meat was tender and juicy, the taste just burst into your mouth.
Oh, and because they forgot to put this ONE broccoli on the plate, they served it like that. So sweet!
+
Movenpick Stracciatella Ice-Cream
Ice-cream is alright, not suuuuuuuper great tasty like Gelatissimo, but not cheap like Swensen's (post is below Nando's) either.
=Rm43.90

Promo
Oxtail & Beef Soup
You know, I never quite got the concept of Oxtail (like ox and tail???), and I don't think I ever want to. Between the Goulash and the Oxtail soup, I like the Goulash better.
+
BBQ Beef Ribs
What can I say, we like beef. And this was good beef, the meat came off from the ribs easily. Best! No wastage! :)
+
Cafe Latte
Well, it's no Starbucks that's for sure.
= Rm39.90

Mix Grill Rm21.90
I think this is worth it if you think of it portion wise, although they could have been a liiiiiiitle, more generous with the wedges. Ya, I know above I said this place is worth it portion wise, but everything can be improved aight!

Now onto more boring stuff. Meaning no more steaks.
Ceasar Salad Rm10.90
I LOVE salads!! I don't know why! The crunchy vegetables, mixed with cheese, egg, croutons! Perfect combo. Now if only they wouldn't overcharge for vegetables. If you can imagine my face now, it's the sour face that looks like this. ----> -.-

Salmon Fettuccine Rm19.99
They really put alot of Salmon in this pasta! You can already see about... 9 pieces of salmon. It was good! I Love carbonara!!

We also ordered Cheese Nacho Rm9.90, but unfortunately my sister was sulking that day and REFUSED to let me take a picture and taste it, so therefore no picture, no review. Oh, and we ordered 1 more ice-cream Rm5.90, also sulky sister = no photo.

Rm225.79
