Restoran Robson Heights Fresh Seafood

This is a very popular restaurant located parallel to the Federal Highway.

The ambience leaves a lot to be desired but every time I come here, I am amazed at how packed and crowded this place can be.





I was there last weekend and the place was really abuzz. I could easily identify some well-known figures from the Malaysian political arena.

This is one of their signature dishes – claypot crab rice. The crab is always served in a separate plate, having done its part in the cooking process. I was told that the crab is placed over white rice so that as the cooking process goes on, the juice from the crab will flow onto the rice, thus making the rice fragrant & of course, delicious.








If you have never had this dish before, you would probably scratch your head wondering what this is. Well, its …believe it or not- super crunchy deep fried brinjals with meat floss on top.


We also had the following dishes:-

Honey dew juice

Black Canyon Coffee Summit USJ

Walking into Black Canyon Coffee at Summit USJ is an amazing experience as I love the calm and quiet of this outlet.  The dim lights and wooden flooring gives it an extra boost as far as ambience is concerned.



These 2 drinks are simply blueberry shake and chiangmai. If you are wondering why the unique name chiangmai, well, you need to know that this chain originates from Thailand.

Spaghetti with chicken and ham (RM9.90) –this generous serving of al dente pasta makes you wanna come back every day for more pasta!



French fries (RM5.90) – not oily, simply marvellous


Green curry rice (RM10.90) – I love the presentation of this plate of rice. Just look at how the rice has been cleverly ‘compacted’ into a block . The egg has been cut and arranged carefully. The same can be said of the cucumber and tomato slices. Love it!




American fried rice (RM10.90) – probably called so because of the sausages, sunny side up and slices of ‘ham’. The fried rice was tasty and we polished it all off!

Chicken salad (RM9.90) -  I like the fact that this healthy platter is colourful and has a variety of vege!

Soup Restaurant, Jaya Shopping Centre

With an impressive list of outlets located in Singapore, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, I had to try Soup. I just had to…you know that feeling of wanting to try a certain outlet is so great that I finally found myself driving there on a wet afternoon!










The first thing I ordered was a glass of homemade barley drink. Prices at RM4 , I definitely thought it was a rip-off.



We tried the traditional boiled soup (RM22.90), served in an earthen pot. The pot lent a nice, distinct taste to the soup and we all yearned for more.


Beggar bowl rice with chicken (RM9.90) -  served with some vegetables on the side, this was a complete meal buy itself. I love the ginger garninshing.

Beggar bowl rice with minced pork (RM9.90) – this was once again served in a ‘pot’ which kept its content warm all throughout.


Hometown tofu (RM14.90) – deep fried and garnished with spring onion and parsley, and served with some gravy, I don’t quite like the taste of it.

Restoran Bubur Goreng, Klang

Nothing is better than a piping hot bowl of porridge on a rainy evening. But this time our porridge was not plain old Chinese porridge. In fact, what we had here was fried porridge. So what makes this dish special?




Well, the porridge was fried (RM13)……yes, you read it correctly….FRIED, with lots of garlic, it was bursting with flavour and the yau char kuai on top made it even more tempting. Absolutely unforgettable!



The soft shell crab (RM36) was nice too.


We also ordered other dishes:-
Fried noodles (RM15) - I really like the way they arranged the 3 'balls' of noodles


Hokkien mee (RM15)
Stir fried tei wong miu (RM12)

Lala (RM22)

Ben & Nick Diner

A tiny, cosy diner run by a father and son is what Ben & Nick is. The minute I made my way in, I fell in love with the place which is nicely and thoughtfully done up.





Famed for its Cajun food, there’s no way I was going to miss ordering the good stuff.



Our drinks – Milo (RM4.90) , lemon tea (RM3.90) and lemon juice (RM3.90)


We ordered salad for starters and the damage was RM19.90. With shredded cheese and hard boiled eggs, this was absolutely a salad to die for!


Mushroom soup (RM7.90) – a little too diluted for my liking.

Garlic bread (RM5.90) – truly awesome as it had the right amount of garlickiness in it!



Cajun prawns (RM32.50) – very tasty and fresh prawns, served with some fries and  broccoli. 
This is a must-have dish here.


This is combo blanket which resembles tortilla. One half was filled with chicken, the other beef.
