-Struggle to find a place to dine so that you are able to satisfy your own tummy?
-Are you afraid to dine outside because the portion of the meal does not scale well to it's price?
 OR PERHAPS ,
-Looking for a good restaurant just to treat your loved ones' just like me?

Allow me to introduce you the S.Wine Cafe @ Publika The Boulevard mall which located in Solaris Dutama, Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia !


Outside* view of the Publika Mall

The geographical location of the restaurant was placed deep inside Ben's Independent Grocer ( Level UG1 ) , which I find it difficult to discover ! However, thanks to the recommendations stated by other food critics, I'm able to find this restaurant with ease !




 Front entrance into S.Wine Cafe by walking straight then turn right, and you will find a way in. 


Pink piglets are the first thing you will see. [Decorations\prop]



 S.Wine Cafe has very comfy and cool interior design , resulted in- customers'll definitely love it and treat it like their own house!


 S.Wine Cafe menu, which is simple and neat.


^( Image size was set to 'Extra large' due to the menu font's size so that readers can read it without hassle ! Note that "Beverage" segment  printed on the next page, so , I think that the list of beverage is not a necessity to be display here because 'we all know what is it'. )


Below are images of finger-licking good meal !

Pea and Ham soup [ RM14 ] , pea was blended well and no lumps to be found , added with few blocks of ham and at last - topping decorate with fresh cream on it !


Hearty Vegetable Soup [ RM 14] a tomato-based soup, well balanced between the level of sour and salt.  Filled with Chunks of ham, cannellini beans, barley & sauteed vegetables , topped with parmesan cheese and fresh coriander.


Garlic & Arugula Pork Sausages with Sauerkraut Rosti [ RM 29 ] . Two huge grilled home made garlic & arugula pork sausages served with sauerkraut rosti and a dollop of sour cream.


 Mexicana Pulled Pork [RM31] , pork burger slopped with mexicana pulled pork on a brioche burger bun, served with coleslaw & crinkled fries, not the best burger in town but at least better than the others, eg: MacDonalds?


Loaded Potato Skins [RM 14] : Potato skins loaded with bacon chips, melted mozzarella cheese and topped with sour cream. Once you bite, you can get lots of bacon chips with melted mozzarella in your mouth !

Pan Roasted Chicken A La Coq Au Vin [RM 29] ; Whole chicken leg braised in white wine, herbs , pancetta , & pork stock, served with toasted  ciabatta. I must say that this chicken meat was well tenderized while the white wine aroma was empowering.

Pork and pine nut sausage roll [RM 19]  :  Pork sausage meat with pine nuts, mushrooms & garlics, warped in puff pastry & baked till golden brown, served with tomato relish & side salad.

 Pan-Roasted Pork Chops with Sauerkraut (RM29), in seeded mustard & cream sauce on a bed of crushed potatoes with bacon & sauerkraut, burts of tongue-tantalizing goodness. 


 Author's note:  As what you had viewed above, "a picture is worth a thousand words" is what I can say for now... The foods are amazing. Everything there are perfect and recommended ( depends on your own preferences ). Portion of the food are large , scaled well with it's price-which is reasonable. The waiters and waitress' are friendly and dedicated to their customers . What more can I say?

A reminder to all : If you don't want to queue for a table, be sure to make a reservation before you arrive or you can go there early before 7 p.m (peak hour) .

As a Malaysian , I've noticed that there are many great point of interests pinned all over the map of Malaysia.
So today i chose "this" point of interest , named "Little Korea" or also known as "Korea Town"-located in 
Ampang Avenue, Jalan Ampang Utama 2/2 (Kuala Lumpur), Malaysia to share with readers !

To simplify the review of this place, basically Koreans migrate to Malaysia (@1960) due to great investment of real estate, perfect geographical location to make a living , personal story and etc. Since then, many of them would run their business to earn income because they believe that Malaysia is one of the countries which able to bring them great financial opportunities! In a blink of an eye (@2005-2013) , this place slowly gained tourist's attraction and lead to the success of the business & tourism industry! That is why you can see many Koreans  living in this country today.

Below are pictures aided with description .

 ( One of the largest convenience stores ! , what more do you want? )

( Cans and boxes of Korean ingredients~ )


( Bottle of Soju :) )

 ( Kids will love these fancy snacks ! )




 ( Promotional sales of Kim Chi )


 ( Beverages )


( K-pop fans will love this... )
.

After that, I went and tried this Korean Restaurant called Mu Jin Jang ,
The owner of this restaurant deserved a medal because he really 
cared about his customers ! 
( Front view )


( Korean side dishes, appetizers - usually help to increase our appetite before our main course arrive )


( Tteokbokki A.K.A ddeokbokki ( Spicy Sliced rice cake) , one of the best korean dish ! )
[Thanks to my Korean friend who introduced this dish to me, "DDAEBAK" !]
( Sorry, the taste of the Tteokbokki are indescribable, "a-ju ma-si-sseo-sseo-yo~!!"- meaning " it was delicious"! )



( Bibimbap [Mixed rice] , one of the famous dishes in Korea due to its variations ! Always remember to mix well before enjoying it )



( Ojin-eodipbak [Squid-rice !] Spicy squid, recommended to mix well )

It was a great day for me to accumulate every information from that place, hope to visit there again :)

Author's note: After done reading above, you might be asking for information such as price , recommendations , precautions, & etc. - I'm sorry to inform you that I can't provide such detailed information at this time ,as you know "Little Korea" area is organized by Korean people meaning prices are estimated to be expensive if you visit in a group. Tons of Korean Restaurants to choose from, depends on your own preference but be sure that the owner and the workers are Korean for guaranteed satisfying taste. Generally speaking, everything there is recommended. Another word of advice is, sharpen your proficiency in the Korean Language so that you can communicate with the Korean community.

Hello readers from around the Earth ! ~
 It's my first blog post so allow me to present you a post which is related to the
Traditional Chinese Food / Snack / Dessert ,
--> Tang Yuan (Glutinous Rice / 汤圆 / Tong Shui) <--

During the old days, the Chinese will ONLY prepare these traditional food/snack/dessert on certain date/festive such as Lunar Festival or also known as Yuan Xiao. However, as time passes, generation changed- NOW, TangYuan can be prepare at anytime and anywhere! Everyone from around the world are able to give it a bite too ! Pictures below are the example that I would like to share with you today !

Customers who enjoy eating traditional Chinese food/snack/dessert should drop by here

-Restaurant Five Five Five *with the Chinese empress  picture on the board* located at 
  Jalan Batu Nilam 3, Bukit Tinggi, 41200, Klang Selangor
 (Nearby Giant mall !)



 (Corner Shop lot)

 (Picture says: Elderly busy preparing TangYuan for customers who had already placed their order)
**(Forgot to mention that, this hawker store once visited & broadcasted by Axian Jason Yeoh of Astro AEC few years back)**

 ( Big  filled Tang Yuan [2 Balls per bowl] [RM1.80] - Surprisingly, this big ball texture does not stick to my teeth, and it's very easy + delicious to eat. yummm )

( Big filled Tang Yuan [INSIDE] : With enormous Peanut paste inside ! It simply stimulates consumer's taste bud due to the good quality of peanut paste that they have applied in it ! )

( Small balls of Tang Yuan which cost RM 1.70 per bowl , comes with different colors - if you are lucky enough to get it :P )

 
 ( Hello lil tang yuan ballz , shine bright like a pearl  )

 ( TangYuan soup are Ginger based ! It's good for health, definitely ! )

* Oh ! and below will be ... *
( Dry traditional snack , Mua Chi [ 麻芝 ] , small plate RM2.40 , big plate RM3.00 )

Overview: It's good to have this hawker store around in our life because "our" (Chinese) foods tradition are dying mainly because we tend to ignore the importance of keeping our tradition alive. However, i believe that the inner flames of the owner who runs the TangYuan/MuaChi store - definitely able to make the future generations to remember our traditional food/snack/dessert !

Anyways, the owner of the hawker store are skillful enough to produce their TangYuan and MuaChi to achieve perfect consistency , elasticity and maximized taste!

Well, some of you might ask or curious about the quantity of the TangYuan BALL together with the price , all I can say is they did an excellent job on balancing the quantity of the ball and the price which is simple to say => 1 to 1 ratio [1:1] , not too many-not too little and yet, the price are reasonable for customers to make a payment .

--> Be advised that TangYuan are best consume while it is still hot !
Lastly, why not give it a try and comment below on what you think about this matter :)
