How we spent Christmas

Okay, this is our very first post for our food blog Black Cream. YAY!
This is how we spent Christmas for 2007!

A week or 2 ago we decided, hey won't it be nice to have an eating day for Christmas? Cutting the story short we decided to head to Sunway Pyramid cos they have a new wing and got ALOT of new shops we wanted to try out.

First place we went to:- Michelangelo's Italian Kitchen

When we very first saw the name of this place, we were like Wah! So nice sounding must be good right the food. Then when we reached there and saw the interior we were also like Wow, not bad ar this place looks. And so with our hopes really really high we walked in.
Looking at the menu we were quite impressed with the variety they had and had a very hard time choosing. Finally we ordered our food and 4 ice water.
We were very excited and when our water came, Politeia and I, Wei Ni. Nahahahaha this post making me feel so writerly! heh heh heh. Back to post. We drank our water and as we were drinking we realised that cheng cheng cheng, there was a strange and foul smell emanating from the glass. Not being able to stand the smell we sent it back and they sent us back the water with lemon inside as if that will help. Well, it helped a bit, but we already knew that the glasses were not washed very well. Just had to put that bad experience in.
Black Pepper Beef Baked Rice
Chicken Fettuccine
Manicotti and Canneloni

Spaghetti Spicy Neapolitan
Overall rating of the food:- It could have been better. The whole experience was kinda bland. bland. bland. bland. bland. Well, it was okay lar. It's edible but not really for the price you pay. But the presentation was very nice, it looks nicer than it actually tastes.
And all that for the wonderful price of:-
So will we visit there again? Well... maybe. But not for a looooooooooooong time. And maybe if we're really desperate.

Second place we went to:- Fig & Olive


So after that tragic incident at Michelangelo's, we were rather upset and disappointed so we decided that the next place we go we will only order 1 dish and share.
We decided to head to a place Politeia has been bugging us to go check out, Fig & Olive. The place is not as pretty as Michelangelo's but according to Politeia's nose, which she claims it's never wrong, this place is suppose to be really good.
When we went there we saw a flyer that said order an signature dish and get 1 free ice cream, being cheap and greedy we decided it was a sign from God.
Fig & Olive is a Mediterranean food place, and the menu has a looooooooooot of good stuff. They all look soooooo tasty! Unfortunately we could only order 1 dish so we settle for the Fig Surprise.

Fig Surprise - It is SO GOOD! mmmmm!! It has cheese, figs, chicken, tomatoes and oh so many wonderful and fresh ingredients! This is really really good! Not only does it looks really good, it tastes really good! Go and order this!! Go GO GOOOO!
Free Ice Cream - Well, it's free. We can't complain. Not that best ice cream, but still alright. It has 2 scoops and comes with whipped cream and colourful sprinkles.
And all for the wonderful price of:-
So will we visit again? YES YES YES YES YES!

Third place we went to:- Yip's Kitchen

After our happy times at Fig & Olive, we thought nothing could go wrong anymore and headed out to find a new place to eat. Again we decided to head to a place where Politeia has been bugging people to go. Yip's Kitchen.
We went there, totally forgetting our ordering 1 dish only rule and ordered a dish a person.
After ordering, James wanted to know if his dry noodles came with soup, and when the server said no, he became upset and thought that it was stupid that they didn't give soup.

Hong Kong Roasted Duck Noodles
Shrimp Wan-Ton Noodles

Plain Noodles (Hor Fun)
Roasted Crispy Pork Noodles

And Chinese tea which we didn't bother to take picture of.
Overall rating for the food:- It was really pretty good. We were satisfied as we left. Politeia loves their Plain Noodles. I had the Shrimp Wan-Ton Noodles and thought that although the noodles were a little plain, they were plain in a good way. Although it's a little pricey but it was worth it, not 100% worth it, but maybe 80%.
And all that for the wonderful price of:-
So will we visit again? Yes! Definitely.

Last place we went to:- House Korea


After our wonderful meals at Fig & Olive and Yip's Kitchen, what we really wanted was to just end our day with me and Yaya's culture food. If you all don't already know, me and Yaya are Korean. KOREAN. Just had to make that very clear.
We left Sunway Pyramid and headed off to SS2 for some good Korean food.
Unfortunately for this place, we didn't take a picture of the receipt and therefore we don't quite remember what we ordered. But will try our best to tell you the food.

Appetizers
Soju - Korean alcoholic drink
Mixed Rice - The rice remained hot throughout the entire time Politeia was eating it, and you know she eats slow.

The Beef

The Pork

The way to eat The Beef and The Pork

Dessert - Made from rice. Sweet and cold.
Overall rating of the food:- Very big quantities. Appetizers are bottomless. Tasty! Looking at it again is making me wanna eat there now! Good times. Very good times.

Will we visit again? YES! That wasn't even a question.
