Fong Lye Taiwan Restaurant @ The Gardens
Music: Jeff Kashiwa- Meet You There Mood: Looking forward
"my bei bee cute leh?"
I don't like taking photos unless there's someone to cam whore with me ^^
Did I remind you of someone?
We kinda settled down in this restaurant last minute when the initial plan of visiting the new Taiwan Steamboat restaurant at Bukit Bintang was called off (Coz we girls wanted to find a shop-able place before Ah Sam arrive :P)
Look at the Friday night faces: worn-out but still happy.
"my bei bee cute leh?"
"Huh? You should look at my Michellin bei bee~~"
We pay service tax for uncle's tea service!
地瓜球 (Sweet Potato Balls) RM5.30- Didn't try this. Sam said that those from Petaling Street taste much much better. First dish is a miss then.
番茄蛋焖鱼套餐 (Fresh Tomato Fried Egg with Sliced Fish Fillet Set) RM19.80- A 'Chef's Recommendation' from the menu. This may look ordinary at first, but its sweet and subtle taste will stimulate one's appetite to finish it like a good ol' home cooked dish.
五更肠旺套餐 (Pork Intestines Set) RM17.80- The Glorious inards, may the sour and spicy gravy flood your craving tastebuds. However, Thou shall not touch the treasure chest should you NOT enjoy eating intestines.
葱爆牛肉套餐 (Fried Sliced Beef in Claypot Set) RM19.80- Not smooth enough to melt in your mouth, but thin enough not to be in a rubbery state. Scores a passing mark where it can be eaten even without rice (the set comes with rice la of course).
猪脚面线 (Pork Trotter Mee Sua) RM14.80- A dish that makes you say, 'Aiyo, so FAT! But I like it ~'
'THESE are the essences! You people don't know how to savour real food!' Uncle finished off the fattest parts like a Piranha attacking its prey.
Other tables order one or no desserts, we surveyed, and order TWO of the best:
台湾丘冰(Taiwan Snow Mountain) RM9.30- A mixture of green bean, red bean, yam, sweet potato and vanilla ice cream. Soothes your sweet cravings all at once.
花生泡泡冰(Peanut Snow Mountain) RM8.30- This is just like frozen version of chinese peanut paste, taste great!
I don't like taking photos unless there's someone to cam whore with me ^^
Location: Lot T208, 3rd Floor, The Gardens (near Sushi Zanmai and Flying Chillies)
Opening Hours: Daily till 10 pm

The Apartment Downtown @ KLCC
Music: Jeff Lorber- Come On Up Mood: Glad to be home early
I don't smoke, neither do I take brisk walks around the KLCC park. The last time I saw The Apartment was during its initial renovation way back in year 2008, then The Apartment of The Curve gave me a complete mindset whereby people don't sing much about their food, or rather just a place to hangout. Fast forward to one fine day in 2009, I suddenly craved an uncongested dining place before proceeding to the high-risk-germs-prone PC Fair and I thought no place in KLCC can be THAT bad, right... Hence, we ended up in this rather forgotten (by me obviously) restaurant beside Chinoz.
The Apartment, defined by its name, is a thematic restaurant that portrays a contemporary layout that resembles a cozy home with surroundings and furniture like house kitchen, sofas, library, bedrooms, cabinets and even wardrobes. It is one restaurant that has that laid-back easiness but musters enough attention and energy necessary to produce food that doesn't burn a hole in your pocket. Unlike other chain outlets with uniformed designs, this one at KLCC has a modern and chic touch that suit to the trendy shoppers and frequent foreigners around this area; whereas the one at The Curve resembles an ideal spot to laze over a Sunday afternoon with a book from their quaint little library.
"Do you want me in your picture?" Quipped the friendly supervisor.
Baked Aubergine (RM9.90) - Oven-baked aubergine topped with mozzarella, parmesan and parsley crumbs on a bed of rocket with tomato salsa. We settled with this from their wide array of tapas menu. It taste average despite the over generous serving of cheesy and nutty toppings. Furthermore, the bed of rocket leaves was bitter >.<
Apartment Salad (RM19.90) - Avocado, spring onions, green chili and coriander drizzled with whole grain mustard dressing and sprinkled with toasted spiced almond flakes. The creamy dressing balances nicely with the fresh greens and buttery avocados. Those crispy almond flakes were addictive!
Lemon Sole (RM 27.90) - Fillet of pan fried lemon sole with chili and black olive tapenade served with thyme, mash and rocket. I liked how the chili, thyme and black olives conjuring to match its mains. The zest of lemon was a level-up move to smarten up the already fresh fillets. Mash potato was a teeny weeny bit dry, perhaps some gravy, no?
Baked Chocolate Pudding (RM11.90) - Moist chocolate pudding with a burst of coffee in the centre, served with vanilla ice cream. The taste of coffee was vague, but I could almost dive into the pool of piping hot, fluffy chocolate. Just Lovely.
Yes, a return, yes... Looking forward to sample more tapas and that mind boggling peanut butter and kaya crepe already!
Location: Lot G48 & 139, Ground Floor and First Floor, KLCC (beside Chinoz On The Park)
Opening Hours: 10 am-12 midnight daily
