The Royal Flush Restaurant @ Ara Damansara


Located at Oasis Square Ara Damansara

After my Sau Kong lunch for CNY, the beginning year of Snake welcome me to this luxurious Chinese Restaurant for Hoi Kong [Opening work] dinner. The Royal Flush base on modern concept yet preserving the traditional Chinese architectural design. I'm impressed with the building nestled in Oasis Square Ara Damansara. The moment I walked nearer, the building look like a shrine to me. Every single piece of art work pays off here, it's amazing.

Table for ten

Love the art deco

Our dinner table reserved in a private room. As I walked walk in I could not help myself to snap photos because this place is beautiful, Romantic in yellow dim light, cozy with air-conditioned, relax in a way after long work hours. Every part of the room are decorated with traditional Chinese chairs and table that are imported from China. I got to know The Royal Flush are only a month old from the grand opening date.

Chinese tea for me!

Let see what do they have on the menu. Our starter was the Special Two Combinations, consisted three layered steamed pork meats and fried meat balls coated with almond. Fresh juicy steamed meat marinated with special soy sauce definitely never let me down. Fried meat balls was good to eat, fragrant with crunchy bites on the almond.

Next dish was the Braised Caviar, seafood with Bamboo Piths Soup. It was a favorite with many of us. The broth was thick enough mixed together with fine tiny shredded seafood. It's just like you're eating shark fin soup. Chef included caviar in but excluded shark fins! Yeah, I do not need to eat shark fin anymore!

Cantonese Style Grilled Fresh Water Prawns up next. It's yummy yummy and rich taste in the heads. Prawns grilled until golden brown and drizzled with a special sauce. There was something different about their sauce which brings out the flavor and the taste of the water prawns.

The Royal Flush Crispy Suckling Pig are including in out eight course meal. Skin was crispy and tender meat. Chef removed most of the fatty layer under the skin. Most pieces of meat were bone in for maximum effect, every meat must go along with the special soy sauce that chef prepared.Scrumptious delicious!

Steamed Pomfret with Superior Soy Sauce. There are no fancy things on this fish. Chef placed it in the steamer to cook, lastly the superior light soy sauce mix together upon serve. Fresh fish meat and succulent. Stir Fried Asparagus with Fresh Scallop is a luxury dish to serve during big festive event. I love the fresh scallop combine with asparagus.

Fried Rice with Assorted Waxed Meat was ideally good to served it in individual portion. Rice wrapped into mushroom flavorful with meat and other ingredients. Topped with waxed meat certainly it's a good way to enjoy. Not too oily too!

After heavy food, time for dessert which are Chilled Mango Cream with Pamelo and two varieties of Chinese Pastries. I love that juicy “pop” Pamelo bite, the soup was not too thick, but rich with Mango flavor. Refreshing and light to with small little Dim Sum bun, fluffy, soft too. I opted the very last piece of fragrant Osmanthus Cake [Guìhuā gāo] 桂花糕, floral and sweet taste. First time I ever ate this Osmanthus Cake. Not bad, tummy bloated with a lot food! Happy! xD

Burgers! Burgers! Burgers! Lately I been seeing a lot burgers restaurant / cafe blooming like a mushroom around Klang Valley. Why they are so famous nowadays? Well this week another burger cafe caught my attention through my friend who is working next block of this building.

Nom Nom Chomper @ Kelana Square

As I stepped into the cafe around 6PM (GMT+8), cafe was rather empty perhaps it's not dinner time yet, I can have peaceful time to enjoy my food in a quiet environment. Quite cozy and owner like to decorate the wall with English famous comic such as Spiderman, Incredible Hulk, Wolverine, etc poster, sort of like in the comic world for the moment. Neat in a away table arrangement, cafe design never let me down. I only feel it's air con it's not cold enough not sure if is the weather affecting the room temp inside.

I'm not a fan of beef, so I opted Nom2 Big Bird Burger [RM13.90] Pan fried whole chicken breast, homemade egg salad topped with cheddar cheese, served with selection of home made burger buns either [CHARCOAL BUN or NORMAL BUN topping with sesame seed], salads and fat boys. I love the charcoal bun moist and soft, big piece of chicken breast decent flavor, chicken breast rather plain suitable for those who health conscious and want to eat healthy.

Sushi King CNY Promotions @ First Subang

The tradition of Lou Sang would never forget in my mind. This is the third time I Lou Sang with buddies after a few Lou Sang with colleagues, family and relatives. Talking about Yee Sang, I still prefer fresh ingredients rather than those dried ingredients sealed from packaging. While I'm browsing through facebook, Yee Sang offered by Sushi King caught my attention.  Sushi King Yee Sang came in two sizes large would be [RM38.88] and mini size cost [RM8.88]. This year I had smaller head count, so I ordered a mini Yee Sang just enough for three of us.

Mini Yee Sang RM8.88

Salmon slice bundle like a rose shape

Love this fresh Yee Sang!

Sushi King Yee Sang never let me down every year. Combination of tempura flakes, Hotate [Japanese Scallop], Kurage [sea jelly], filament eggs, crab sticks and the tiny shredded slices of the cucumber and fresh salmon slice that bundle like a rose shape, not forgetting the sweet and sour plum sauce. Thumbs up!! Yee Sang is actually raw fish salad, symbolize of abundance, prosperity and vigor. Oishi! xD

Lou Sang with my buddies xD

A mini Yee Sang ain't enough for us to ease our stomach, despite we're going for Chinese New Year promotion food that offered in Sushi King. Ji Mui ordered Yee Sang noodles [RM16.88] that comes with yellow noodles, shredded cucumber, carrots, radish, eggs, tempura flakes, kurage [sea jelly], fresh salmon slices [rose shape]. Before you eat must remember to mix together with sweet and sour plum sauce. Prosperity noodles, bring luck yet it's healthy meal.

We had extra sushi on the sushi rolling belt, some of our favorite are Salmon Nishoku Sushi [Raw salmon slice, fish roe, and mayonnaise], Tamago Sushi [omelette], and Golden Ball [Deep fried egg, shredded crab sticks and mayonnaise]. Oishi! xD

My choice was the Prosperity Bento set which is part of the CNY promotion menu. I'm attracted to the mini salad on corner of the bento which consist fresh Salmon slices [a rose shape], mix with plum sauce and additional rice with egg rolls, fried chicken slice with terrayaki sauce and also fried fried fish fillet coated with soy sauce that makes the whole set perfect. I like food presentation, thus I eat without any complaint at all. Prosperity Bento set cost [RM16.88], worth for the value.

Back dated posted again, I want to share this lovely beverages offered during Chinese New Year 2013 promotion period. Desperately craving for a piece of cake, my brain prompted me on Starbucks. Oh yes, I have yet visiting Starbucks lately. so I drop by to Starbucks for coffee / tea time. Co-incidence this particular outlet have a lot nice cakes, I been viewing up and down on the rack, this piece of brown pink slice of cake attracted me that much. I wonder if is good, couldn't further to ask more in details.

Chocolate Raspberry Cheese Cake

Thick, moist chocolate cake, middle part was the thick creamy raspberry cheese.

The more a look at it the more drooling I am. This slice of cake consist three layers, first and bottom layer are the thick, moist chocolate cake, middle part was the thick creamy raspberry cheese. I love the topping coated with dash of cocoa powder, rather more fillings! Just a small bite, it's heavenly delicious all the flavors are well balance. I love raspberry cream, sour plus the salty cheese too! must taste it slowly, a piece it's not enough for me... I want more and more, please! ARRRGGHHHHH~~~


I took a sip of black coffee that is sugarless, I feel great, with strong aroma of black coffee, well roasted. Coffee of the day cost RM7.90 for Venti size, while the Chocolate Raspberry Cheese Cake cost RM10.90. Expensive? Have you try the CNY promotion as well? Do share with me too, Cheers! =D

ORIENTAL PAVILION @ Jaya 33, PJ

I'm back to blogging after busy from Chinese New Year. Now only got spare time to update my blog. I had a chance to join company Sau Kong lunch at Oriental Pavilion 大港城酒家 for the Snake year 2013. Famous for Chinese cuisine that serve in traditional way. Can't wait to taste yummy food!
Table for ten at Oriental Pavilion

Time for gathering, after hard work throughout the year. Table for ten people must not be missing out. We're being served by Chinese Tea while waiting to rest to arrive. Everyone busy talking and updating each other before going back to hometown reunion with family. It's private room, cozy under air-conditioned. One of my favorite snacks on the table, steamed ground nuts with broth. Unique in a way if would to compare with the normal ground nuts that I use to eat on Chinese restaurant.

Snacks, steamed groundnuts

Since CNY mood is around the corner, the joy of Lou Sang mood is on, first dish must be the big Yee Sang on top of us. Platter consists of dried ingredients are mainly shredded vegetables, pickled, crackers, and not forgetting the most important is the fresh Salmon fish for Lou Sang. We were given a longer and bigger chopstick for Lou Hei, everyone yelling out loud with good wishes. "Huat ar!"

The packets of crackers for Yee Sang

There you go, crackers seating on top Yee Sang!

Lou Sang, HUAT! HUAT! HUAT!

After Yee Sang, we're served with first dish Double-Boiled Coral Shark’s Fin in Coconut (Individual serving) 椰 皇 炖 勾 翅 Uniquely served in a coconut shell, which safe a lot of trouble to scoop into the bowl. I love the broth fragrant with coconut smell, thick and tasty with the generous amount of seafood that sweeten the broth. I'm wondering if they're using the real shark fin?

Is that real shark fin?

Next was the Deep Fried Fish wrapped with lettuce and chili paste [secret ingredients created by chef]. Crunchy for the first bite, chili paste opening flavor, savory, mild spicy that makes you won't stop biting. Fresh fish meat well fried in golden color. It reminded me the same concept of eating Korean BBQ meat wrapping on the lettuce, always chicken, beef, pork meat, I never knew fried fish can wrap with this as well, unique!

I wrapped and eat like this! Delicious!

We had two round of fishes, up next will be the Poached Live Tiger Prawns with ‘Shao Hsing’ Wine & Wolfberry 杞 子 绍 酒 灼 活 草 虾 Prawns swimming indeed, I couldn't resist myself on the soup with thick 'Shao Hsing' wine. I saluted chef's skill on boiling the soup, big fresh prawn with juicy meat. I prefer this compare to fried prawns. Decent flavors I admitted it.

Prawn swimming in my bowl! I love the soup!

The BBQ Whole Suckling Pig with Glutinous Rice 炭 烧 糯 米 乳 猪 was the star of the night. Creative idea from the chef, combined both together is an excellent idea without wasting resources. Piglet are fried in golden color, thin layer of skin crunchy and crispy dipping into BBQ sauce, nice to eat but it's fattening, hahaha.. Glutinous Rice just at the timing, not to soft not too hard, decent with flavors.

After that, our next dish was the Braised Whole Abalone with Broccoli 原 粒 3 头 鲍 鱼伴 西 兰 花. Baby abalone delicious!! It's cute in size, tender and moist with oyster sauce thick broth goes together with fresh broccoli and fresh mushroom. Delicious!

Eight course meal ended with lovely dessert for refreshment, Crispy Yam Puff with Banana & Custard 锦 绣 雪 山 藏 珍 宝 Summer Breeze Coconut Jelly 夏 日 风 情. Crispy Yam Puff wast just nice with sweet filling, I adore the lovely longan and coconut jelly. The whole 8 course bloated until can't move! Enjoying till max =D
