So naturally they were curious on my opinion of Sushi Hinata, which carries very similar concept of authentic Japanese cuisine that place focuses on Omakase meal prepared freshly by Master Chef by the sushi counter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Sushi Hinata</strong> is a sushi specialist that has opened not long ago and has since gain a widespread popularity within my circle of friends, with some stating that their sushi are the next best thing they have had since Japan. So with that in mind, I enter Sushi Hinata at <strong>St. Mary Residence</strong> with only one purpose- to try their <strong>OMAKASE </strong>(degustation by the chef)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">My Master Chef of the night is <strong>Chef Oritsuki, or Chef Ori,</strong> originated in GINZA with over 30 years of experience. Chef Ori has arrived Malaysia only 2 months ago, and knows minimal English. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">But he is friendly, funny and engaging that you will find yourself drawn to his jolly mood. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is to my surprise that I was surrounded by patrons that I know that night, with my left being Kame Sushi Master Chef himself and my right being an acquaintance. The restaurant is to my opinion overly bright and has counter seating of not more than 20. There are several private rooms, though most would prefer to be seated where the main actions are- by the counter and I will strongly recommend it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Their OMAKASE per person starts from<strong> RM350++</strong>onwards, while limited ala carte dishes are available as well as a cheaper sushi set meal of RM280. The best time to come is Tuesday and Friday for those are the days where the shipments arrive and when their fish are the freshest, but Reservation is strongly recommended.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ok moving on, let’s see how many of the items I can remember, there were just so many that by the end of the night, I was thoroughly stuffed! Is it worth the spurge of RM350? You bet it is. </span><br />

So, <strong>Sushi Hinata vs Kame Sushi</strong>, who's the winner?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Neither, because both are equally good, Of course Sushi Hinata's omakase uses more premium ingredients such as abalone and uni, but price aside both Chefs are well experienced and executed their food with as much care, precision and passion. While Kame Sushi Omakase offers a shorter course, they have more variety of seasonal sashimis you can enjoy, on the other hand I thoroughly enjoy the little yuzu touches of Sushi Hinata's sushi and those pickled ginger that's home marinated for up to 9 days are excellent and thoroughly enjoyable that despite i'm not a fan of ginger, it doesnt stop me from asking for refills again and again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kame Sushi Omakase starts from RM150 onwards, so if affordability is an issue for you, Take a babystep to experience Kame first, then start building up your bank account for Hinata. Both gave me the same satisfaction</div>

Maison Francaise occupies a 3 storey bungalow house with a taking view of KLCC Tower from its pool lounge. Choose either to sit in the sparsely white and smart surroundings from the inside or opted for the smoking friendly alfresco with a less uptight atmosphere with best of both view (pool + klcc). <strong>French Chef Franck Lamache</strong> heads the kitchen and according to its website, used to be a private chef to <strong>President of Kazakhstan</strong>. <br />
<br />
The thing i like about Maison Francaise is their menu stay true to the authentic French flavours, and i think the restaurant deserve more recognition in KL's food industry for its healthy, fresh and light recipes. <br />
<br />
The restaurant holds a delightful large menu with a wide range of selection of appetizers and mains which holds an upper end pricing in town. My sight fell to the <strong>10g of premium caviar from France topped with scrambled eggs</strong> which looks exciting but with a hefty price tag of <strong>RM220</strong>. Save it some other special day perhaps? For a gastronomic experience, you may need to dig into your pocket deeper for their degustation which cost RM380 (eek!) for a 7 course meal but hey guess what, it includes that caviar scramble eggs, if that’s enough to convince! <br />

Starting the meal with a cold appetizer, <strong>Foie Gras Terrine with onion and apple chutney</strong> has a smooth velvety texture which was nice on its own, though chutney melded nicely with the dish. And Gosh you musn’t missed out their <strong>mushroom soup</strong> here, tasted heavenly with <strong>truffle oil and whipping cream</strong>. <strong>Escargot in Burgundy Style red wine sauce with fried onion rings </strong>didn’t hit off with my taste bud, since I can’t accept the “garden” taste of the snails but I do find this problem with many restaurants serving similar dish, so it could just be my preferences. My dining partner swears by their <strong>Ravioli stuffed with European Lobster and Spinach in Bouillabaise Sauce</strong>, stating that he will not fail to order this everytime he comes by. Granted, the pasta skin was delightfully thin, and the minced inner filling is at its decent portion combine with the saucy and flavourful seafood sauce. Noms! </div>

Moving on, we have our main courses. <strong>Veal tenderloin in porchini mushroom sauce (RM125</strong>), knifing through the meat reveals a nice pink center, and a semi-tender bite. Sufficiently satisfactory for the craving carnivores, however i wished it wasnt pre-sliced before it seared, as that losses out to some juiciness and flavours of the meat.<br />

<strong>Pan Seared Red Snapper pairs really well with the ratatouille (RM77),</strong> having sampling a few bites off my friend, the sweet delectable flesh with a little acidic hit from the tomato content of ratatouille. This is pure comfort food , and my friend had enjoyed it, it seems<br />

<strong>Seared Scallops and parsley sauce and white truffle oil (RM95),</strong> I’m generally overly excited for dish with truffle oil. They always tend not to disappoint as the truffle oil generally unearth more flavours into a dish. And it also applies to this dish, though subtle in flavours complement well to the parsley sauce and mascarpone risotto cooked al dente. A little complain here? Scallop is too puny and slightly over seared<br />
<br />
For those dessert lovers out there, i'm please to inform that Maison Francaise serve a list of interesting presented and fun desserts. Here's what to look out for:-<br />

The visually arresting dessert and perhaps one of my absolute favourite of the night is <strong>Grand Marnier Souffle (RM35)</strong> The perfect light and fluffiness aibeit not too sweet dessert had brings got my heart fluttery for a good moment. That tinge of alkie in this perfected souffle is a definite must order. Alternatively, other flavours include lemon, chocolate, passionfruit and vanilla <br />

P/S: if you are wondering, i rate restaurant food in comparison to it's pricing. The higher priced the menu is, it will be expected in higher quality, taste, and ingredients used. Hence you see all the 6's and 7's rating for most of my fine dining post, as i felt that fine dining in Malaysia has not reached its maximum potential. But then again, this is all my personal opinion and with no professional knowledge! Teehee! </div>

I remembered my first experience with their publika outlet was also my last, not because it wasn’t good, it was in fact a truly enjoyable experience, but sadly they were due to close the following week due to its plan to shift over to MARC Residence. <br />
<strong>Ten in MARC Residence</strong> overtook the former Delicious, and now operating at a bigger area that sees a welcoming entrance with high ceiling levels that brings out the restaurant elegance and character with clever partitions to create different dining ambience in one space. <br />
<br />

The current menu is one of simplicity as they are still not fully open to the public yet. Their <strong>starters ranges at RM40-RM60</strong>, whilst their <strong>mains were at RM65-RM320</strong> (Australia live spiny lobsters! Sounds Yum!)<br />
<br />
Something to look out for is their<strong> teppanyaki set, sushi set (RM260), and omakase set (RM300)</strong> to have a good samplings on everything chef has to offer. Should you opted for the teppanyaki and sushi sets, you must be seated at the chef’s working table- they were very adamant about this. <br />
Our fellow foodie Sean opted for the Omakase Set, which entails a long-winding yet pleasurable 10-course samplings, you can hop on to his<a href="http://eatdrinkkl.blogspot.com/2013/03/ten-japanese-restaurant-marc-residence.html"> blog</a> to read about it, whilst I opted for the ala carte options.<br />

<strong>Sushi Moriawase (RM80)</strong> came a standard set which comprises of 6 pieces which wasn’t too exciting. Taste wise was also quite mediocre, though I do enjoy the eel and sweet shrimp the most. <br />

<strong>Sashimi Moriawase (RM180)</strong> flairs better. A deluxe set with 8 choices of whatever came fresh which I hope you won’t ask me what it is, because I have no idea. I don’t have much opinion of this but generally KAME sushi would be a more ideal place for your sashimi kick at a more reasonable price. <br />

<strong>Gindara Saikyoyaki Yuzu Miso (RM75)</strong> has its mixed reviews. While I thought that it was a pleasant enough dish aibeit slightly dry (you can never go wrong with cod!), there were comments that it was slight bitter, most probably the cause of its skin. <br />

Carbs alert! <strong>Wagyu Garlic rice (RM40)</strong> with asparagus is sufficient to filled me up, it was a very different version from Rakuzen’s. A lighter version which some may prefer.<br />

Finish our meal with a refreshing end- <strong>YUZU sorbet</strong></div>
Our meal came at a high cost, we blame the three bottles of sakes <strong>(RM350++ for 720ml bottle each),</strong> and left with some very empty wallets and dejected souls. Clearly, the food appears to be less impressive from its former establishment, given the natural high expectations from one of the top Japanese fine dining in KL, but comparatively to many mainstream Japanese restaurants out there, TEN would still be a restaurant that is sought-worthy for <strong>quality over quantity</strong> Japanese cuisine. <br />

After my dining experience with Cantaloupe, it’s natural that its neighbor <strong>Strato </strong>would be next on the list. <br />
<br />
<br />
I’ve heard nothing but good things about this Italian Restaurant. Occupying the mezzanine floor of the 24th floor, leaded up by a long winding beautiful spiral staircase shows a simple cosy dining area that is split into two sections. A simple menu was set on the table which shows a small selection yet every bit so delicious sounding menu, I’m so tempted to try every single one of them- and maybe I will! The menu is mostly Italian comfort food, the ones you may find in many f&b outlets but with the right execution, an interesting twist of flavours and ingredients here and there, it does make it refreshingly different from others, you’ll see what I mean as you read on. This place definitely warrants a second visit. Prices varies along <strong>RM25-55 for starters</strong>, <strong>RM40-55 for mains</strong> with the most expensive items being fresh lobster linguini (RM85), <strong>desserts RM25-30</strong><br />

The starters were excellent. We loved all three that we’ve ordered. <strong>Beef Carpaccio with fried morel mushrooms </strong>are my favourite among all. The lovely texture of thinly sliced raw beef drizzled with just right amount morel oil goes perfectly well with rocket leaves and parmesan shaves. Then there was a debate over the <strong>Brine cured rare beef with tuna anchovy sauce (RM45)</strong> or the <strong>Fresh mussels with fried country bread with spicy arrabiata sauce (RM40),</strong> and the latter won, because I’m such a sucker for mussels and boy it was so fresh with such nice gentle texture that was not overpowered with the tomato based sauce. The <strong>Scallops with Duck Bacon and Cannellini bean (RM55)</strong> were equally good. Big and Plump, cooked with just the perfect doneness- in this case just a quick seared reveal a semi-raw flesh that tasted so fresh that I could not get enough of. There were 4 pieces to share and I was too shy to suggest a 3-way cut for the last piece. Surprisingly the cannellini beans and apricot chutney married so well in flavors, you’ll want to finish every single bit of it<br />

Ok down to the main course. Firstly it was the <strong>potato gnocchi gorgonzola with pickled walnuts (RM45),</strong> pure comfort Italian traditional food, just like how your grandmama should cook it. The gnocchi was soft, pillowy (is there such word?) texture and the cheese was semi-strong in flavors but just right that it doesn’t get quite relenting rich (or jelak as we Malaysians puts it) <br />
<br />

<br />
My absolute new addiction is the <strong>squid ink linguini with prawns, artichoke cream and fried artichokes (RM50)</strong>. It’s such a simple comfort dish yet it was perfect. The sauce was spot on and the texture of squid ink (I believe it’s homemade) was one of springy delight. I would come back for this again again and again. <br />
<br />
<br />

Then there was the <strong>grilled rib eye steak (RM85).</strong> Australian flown about 200grams came with a cut which was way too thin, though given it was an ok size steak, it still lacks the nice steak bite. No complaints with its taste, nicely seasoned and a nice touch with its <strong>ricotta, tomatoes, rough chopped basil pesto</strong>. <br />
<br />
Desserts has always been the highlight of our meals, Strato has very limited choice of 3, we opted for the <strong>banana coffee tiramisu and the rice pudding with 3 condiments of nuts, caramel and jam</strong>. Though my friend enjoyed her rice pudding whilst I tease her about her “baby food” which it does taste somewhat similar, their tiramisu for me is so-so, granted the banana has a nice touch to this dessert, but to me it’s just plain banana cake with mascarpone. Nevertheless, it would be a decent choice for you sweet tooth-ers to end your meal with this.<br />

After meal, we decided to check out Claret Wine Bar situated just below the restaurant, very limited wine choices with only 6 labels, so we opted for a nice light French wine <strong>Domaine De Pellehaut 2009 (RM180approx)</strong>, it was overall a thoroughly enjoyable meal, and it will be one I will recommend for those who’s looking for genuine delicious Italian food. <br />
<br />
<em>(p/s. ladies watch those short skirt of yours, because the Claret Wine Bar’s customer will have a fully view of your bottoms while you climb the stairs to Strato…)</em><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Adjourning to Cantaloupe is a place guarantee for a good and quiet drink or two- a wine bar named <strong>Claret,</strong> and <strong>Strato</strong>, the Italian restaurant which my friend commented served pretty damn good pasta, i’m looking forward to give it a try. </span></div>

In fact, we were pleased to be placed at a table with the maximum enjoyment of the view. Cantaloupe is no doubt relays a fine dining atmosphere, however use of designer furniture, and careful planned spaces with different level platform and water element sees a more casual and private ambience. It reminds a bit of Frangipani, We like.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Their menu is one of compact choices of 5-6 items per section but all that sounds equally enticing as we slowly walk through the content with our eyes. Indeed there was a debate of what to choose for a good 15 minutes or so because all items sounds very very exciting. That, however comes with a hefty price tag of <strong>starters-RM48onwards, Main Course average RM80-RM120, and dessert RM45</strong>. But you will want to pay for the ambience.</div>

In a nutshell, we felt that Cantaloupe dishes may be too experimental to our likings, but this is just a personal preference- much similar to our experience with <strong>Lafite in Shangri-la</strong>, sure there is one or two dishes that caught us hanging and left us happy, like the <strong>lobster bisque and wagyu steak</strong>. The rest, we wade through skepticism, unsure how we felt about it, maybe due to our minimal exposure to this fine culinary scene. Pardon us if we offend. </div>

The new menu will include many local/asian infused flavours with western dishes that will sure tease our local tastebuds. As usual, we stick to our values of good and fresh food with good value, many ingredients will be prepared a la minute "prepared to order". In fact, chef insist upon this idealogy. <br />
There's also an increase of interesting small bites that will go well with a drink or two... or three :)<br />
Without further elaboration, here's some pictures i took. I'm quite happy of how it turned out, considering im such a noob photographer. <br />

There is this one thing that irk me though is the misleading prices on the menu, for if you don’t look closely enough, you will be under the impression that all <strong>small bites are RM35</strong>, <strong>main courses RM55 and desserts RM25</strong>, mislooking this super fine print under unfair low lighting that says “* <strong><em>addition RMxx surcharge</em></strong>”. Or was it just me whom missed it?<br />
<br />
<br />
That aside, the locality of the restaurant is nestled in the quiet elite neighbourhood of Bangsar, HIT & MRS occupy one double storey shop lot which they hack the whole of back wall to create a wider and open spaces that encourage cross ventilations and in a comfortable temperature. B.I.G Group has again hit the right notes with its killer combination of good food, good tunes, and good ambience (in this case it’s a bit of rustic charm at the bottom levels and olden Chinese influence on the top floor which is pretty refreshing and I wouldn’t mind chilling with my girlies over gossips with a drink or two at the upper bar /lounge areas), With a dining seating capacity of 20-30pax only, we would strongly recommend reservation prior your visit. Servers weren’t particularly friendly, but they could be easily ignored (since it seems they hardly came to our table unless I gun them down to clear the empty plates)<br />

We didn’t get to sample too many dishes during the visit mainly because 2 of my girlies decide to be vegetarian and ate as little as just a salad. <br />

For starters, both us that were carnivores of the night opted for <strong>Foie gras with peanut butter and jam (RM45), </strong>which was an interesting combination- sweet with a tinge of saltiness (from the peanut butter) goes surprisingly well with the plump foiegras that were seared to its right doneness. </div>

Hit & Mrs. weren’t vegetarian friendly (and from their facebook feedback from customers neither were they baby friendly due to space constraint), but they were kind enough to offer their special salads with a mild dressing which my friend commented it was close to tasteless so in goes her tobascos, salt, and ground pepper just to zinc the flavors up a notch. </div>

My recommendation goes to their main- the <strong>lamb rack with barley and mash (RM70) </strong>as a side was absolutely beautiful and plays excitedly to my palate. Cook to my preferred medium-pink, and still able to achieve a close to melting texture with a delicate bite or two that got me melting with happiness, and of course I lapped every single pieces of the barley and mash and this seldom happens.</div>

The <strong>Brill Fish from Netherland (RM95) </strong>was a special of the week and it comes with<strong> Gnocchi and Celeriac</strong>. Can’t really fault this dish either as it was done with precision of good flavouring and freshness. I did also enjoy the cute lil gnocchi with a nice semi-soft bite. My friend too, lapped the whole plate dry</div>

Then it comes to our desserts- which, in our opinion was so-so. But if we were to choose our favourites, it has got to be <strong>Peanut Butter with Chocolate Textures(RM25). </strong></div>

<br />We weren’t too impress with the <strong>Vanilla, Banana, and Port Wine Ice (RM25)</strong> and especially came to dislike the <strong>Rhubarb, raspberry and milk ice (RM35)-</strong> which we’ve commented to the server whom told us that most customers do enjoy this very much so it’s either that it was just us, or you’ve got to have an acquired taste to enjoy this. </div>

All-in-all, we enjoyed our dining experiences here most part because of good company, and I also look forward to more of BIG’s new innovative creations. They have never failed to impress and set the bar up for F&B industry to constantly need to evolve and put in a bit of risk here and there. HIT& MRS. goes into the list of my favourite Big’s along with Estate, Tate, and S.Wine. </div>

It's Been a good year! (Part 1)<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I know.. i'm as surprise as everyone that i'll been sitting down, and writing this...! But i figure a summarize posts has been customary since we started this blog, regardless of how empty and lonely our blog has became. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So here's to filling the blank for the many months of us missing in action! </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I know we’ve stopped writing for so long, but so did half of the floggers out there, I notice. Why? Is it because there is a lack of interesting restaurant of late? Is it because everyone is so busy with their lives that blogging suddenly takes a back seat? Quite the contrary I have explored quite some amazing new restaurants in KL lately, there’s no denying that competition gets stiffer in town and stiffer means better for us consumers, but not so good too for us restaurateur. So… depends how I want to look at it. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
With that aside, what have Augustdiners been up to? Ever since we’ve stopped blogging for some time, we were quite surprise that some people recognize us as Augustdiners (I mean, wow…and we are just no-bodies in the food blogging world)</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So many exciting experiences/journeys/happenings this year, I would like to say that it’s an amazing year for me. Of course I wished to accomplish more in life, of course I want to be that much richer, at least in line with the economy inflations and country growth, of course I would have loved to contribute more to voluntary works and charities, or maybe find the right guy, get married, have babies like what most of my friends seems to be doing right now. But well… I shall leave all these to year 2013.</div>
<br />
Friends of mine would know that I love travelling to bits. And I had a good opportunity to do so this year (and still not burnt all my annual leave yet! Amazing isn’t it?!)<br />

Then it was <strong>TOKYO, </strong>group of friends planned this trip for months only to almost cancel it few days before the trip due to the worry on the radiation effect having to hear lots of stories around us. We only decided to go ahead 2 days prior the trip, and im glad we did. One couple actually backed out, another decided the very last minute and surprised us at the airport lounge! It was all very funny thinking back how we consulted many sources to ensure it is "SAFE" to visit. I.e. 2 embassies(singapore+ Malaysia)- my friend didnt trust Malaysia info too much, many online forums, and even consulted one of the editor in a newspaper. </div>

I never get sick Japan. If you get the opportunity, do visit japan and experience their 4 seasons, as each season has its own beauty and lovely weather! We have a friend who studied there, and loves food, so naturally she knows all the best places to eat so we left it to her hands</div>

I was in Shiseido with my friends @ Ginza having fun trying on some make up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by trying I meant it not in the sense of trying on make up on your face. This white ipad-like technology allows us to tap in the code we want, and they will automatically sense and apply it on your face at all the right places (on the screen!) It's an eye-opener. In this photo, im using a pinkish red lipstick and light blue eye shadow</div>

And then there is this controversial 3-Michelin Star rated restaurant, Ryugin. There has been great comments about them as much as the negative ones. Myself i was a bit dissapointed as i came with high expectations. There were definitely some hit and some misses, many dishes maybe slightly too experimental out of my comfort zone </div>

One negative thing about travelling in a large group in Japan is the difficulty in finding the restaurant of our choice to fit all of us in. A lot of good restaurant only cater up to 7-10 pax. Bearing that in mind, we've booked these restaurants 1-2 months in advance. </div>

<strong>BALI </strong>was a super impromptu trip with my siblings. I've written a few entries about it such as our comfortable Annora Villa and Naughty Nuri which serves pretty finger licking good pork ribs as well as the really cool Potato Head Beach Club. It's a pity we didnt get to explore more of bali's cuisine as it was just a weekend trip. Sunlight, Breezy Beach, and Good Food- something we could never said no to.</div>

<em><strong>"Heard you're going to Bali, you MUST try Naughty Nuri, it's gooood and i must make a visit each and every time im in Bali"</strong></em> gushed a friend</div>
<br />
<br />
And visit we did. Better known for their <strong>famous BBQ Ribs</strong>, selections of Indonesian fares and their <strong>boobilicious Martinis</strong>, Naughty Nuri has the party fun vibe that’s comfortably noisy, irritably crowdy at times and tables are often shared, then again you can’t always please both sides. What they made up for is their brisk and efficient services. So although there is quite some queue by the roadside, after 30 or so minutes wait, we were escorted to our tables and orders immediately filled and food arrived within 15 minutes. Heck we are on Holiday so we can wait. <br />
<br />
Yes, Naughty Nuri may be popular for tourist around the world, but it is equally enjoyed by locals. It’s Pork Ribs that people flock to in crowds may not be my absolute favourite <em>(I still like Hurricane, Sydney the best!)</em> however the flavours were worth devouring, with its not-too-sweet and sticky special BBQ sauce and falls off the bone meat textures. One slab of ribs each which comes with about 7-8 ribs that may not be good portion for sharing unless you want to order other main courses as well.<br />
<br />
Their Indonesian food flairs quite well too, with a very enjoyable <strong>sup buntut or oxtail soup</strong>, with thick earthy broth and their bebek goreng (crispy fried duck)- an Indonesian specialty though naughty nuri's version was bordering too dry for us. <br />

What’s worth mentioning is their little “gimmick” for their Martinis, when you order a Classic Martinis, you’ll get to enjoy a little performances by Naughty Nuri’s staff, where they chant <strong>“one, two, three shake shake, shake shake”</strong> while good spiritedly shaking their butts and booties at the same time. It was for a good laugh, and i see foreigners order again and again just so they can enjoy the dance. It also helps that their Martinis were surprisingly quite potent and tasted quite good. <br />

<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>Shuraku</strong> remains one of my favourite <strong>izakaya</strong> haunt in town, and mind you there isn’t really that many izakayas in town to choose from, I sometimes go to <strong>Nonbei</strong> as well. Located above Maybank of Solaris Mont Kiara, Shuraku is perfect for an afterwork drinks with friends and colleagues, and their wide selection of sakes with attractive discounts is a definitely draw, and vastly popular with the Japanese. Buy <strong>one bottle and 2nd bottle is 50% off</strong> sounds as attractive as it taste, best still, you can park your bottle there for 3 months and slowly finish it off (although I normally finish it off at one go) <strong><em>*blush*</em></strong> Oh yes, draft beer are also<strong> buy one free one on happy hours for Tuesday</strong>. Now that makes me realliiii happy =)</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
Steering away from the alkies, Shuraku has a very warm friendly ambience, with an open kitchen concept displaying chef’s at work with the yakitori. I particularly liked the display of some of the commonly found Japanese items such as different types of cigarette, ropes and used cans. The restaurant booze some wide variety of izakaya delicacies, from their kushi yaki (grilled items by the stick) to grilled items, deep fried, yummilicious sushis, rice and noodles. <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I always frequent this place and forgot to take pictures, there were just too many distractions <strong>*ahem*alcohol*ahem*,</strong> so one day I was so determine to write about the restaurant that I actually sit through dinner and order as much as I can and do my homework for once. </div>

Their range of Kushi Yaki (grilled item on stick) is quite limited and ranges from RM5-7/ portion. My favourites are always the pork belly, chicken skin, and the mushrooms</div>

Attendees include Donald duck, daisy, goofy and his long time gf, Minnie mouse. The dad whom happen to also be name as Michael aka Mickey as I call him did a wonderful job in making his daughter’s very first birthday a memorable one. <br />
I took some odd shots here and there with wobbly hands after having one drink too many. It's one of those kids birthday party where adults find opportunity to drink like it's they are the host. <br />

Some interactive games were planned, such as making the mommy-to-be a custom made bra easy for breast feeding, fill in the blank storyline on how the couple met (be as inventive as you can!) and read it out to the audience, and mommy fashion shows with balloons fitted under guests shirts and parade around the restaurant. Winner gets to bring home a prize. </div>

I’ve been meaning to take some proper picture of the restaurant, but each time due to circumstances I ended up asking people to help me snap photos from my reliable iphone, and decor it a bit with instagram. haha. Or im just lazy.<br />
<br />
Heres some photos to share:<br />

The Beach Club is especially beautiful during sunset and after the nightfalls. The striking façade comprising of old pieces of louvred shutters is just pure architecture brilliance. And the dramatic appearance did not stop there, walking up a narrow hallway while appreciating the beautiful façade will expose you to a large open space with different settings, there was a large green lawn taking the centre role, and the sunbeds where people are starting a drink or two while lounging comfortably overlooking both the infinity pool and the crashing waves of seminyik. Dining is also an option here. Tapping Shoe, a formal dining clad with crystal chandeliers with its soft boudoir lighting serves French food whist Lilin, with a casual chic ambience is an outdoor dining that serves Asian cuisine in an informal manner of long communal tables, tapas and live seafood is their main game.<br />

Their Cocktails lists are extensive, and some might say pricey even. However, prices didn’t seem to be the deterrent factor here as the crowds were flocking in by batches. What’s a little spurge when you can get a special experience like nowhere else with Potato Head Beach Club. Tourist, locals alike seemed to enjoyed themselves very much. I, particularly were drawn to their drinks and starting experimenting with some of the items.<br />
<br />

<br />
Started off with <strong>PH Espresso Martini</strong>, OMG absolutely divine!! Strong coffee and Jamaican coffee liquer shaken with vodka and a splash of cane sugar, served with three lucky coffee beans and a homemade cookie. I wish this is just available within grasp and not miles away from me, oh how I crave for it again!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>Pistachio Martini </strong>was as good as I remembered. A heavenly blend of fresh rock melon and vodka shaken with melon liquer then finished with nitrogen charged pistachio foam with a side of pistachio and homemade pistachio sorbet. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>Millionaire Martini</strong> is one helluva refreshing drink, also the favourite of the night that we ordered two of these. Vanilla vodka and fruit liquer are shaken with passion fruit pulp and homemade organic vanilla sugar. Served straight up and accompanied by a Champagne chaser. This drink is layered with their magical passion fruit foam. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What pale in comparison with its success counterparts is the <strong>Three Berry Margarita</strong>, Soft dark berries blended with citrus, sugar and premium tequila<br />
<br />
One of PH’s creation is its <strong>Bells & Whistes (oops.. no picture)</strong>. Crushed, zesty miniature mandarins and lively citrus and mandarin vodkas churn with rich palm sugar plus explosive passion fruit and lemon juices further crowned with gorgeous orange liquer. <br />
<br />

As I laid on the sunbed, smelling the seabreeze while looking up the sky, sipping cocktails and talking about meaningless things, I thought to myself- if only this holiday could last forever.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

P/S: Do book in advance for their sunbeds! Strongly recommended, their minimum spending is 500,000 rupiah, which equivalent to 4-5 cocktail drinks. <br />

I don’t know how bloggers keep up with it. I’ve been distracted with my japan, and singapore post so many times I’ve lost count. Almost finish writing but too lazy to upload the photos yet. Though I can’t wait to share, I decided to jump the wagon and write about bali instead, mainly because it’s still so fresh in my mind. <br />
<br />
<br />
We were there for a weekend getaway. It was a short short trip but there’s no way we were willing to sacrifice more of our annual leave, so we stick to 3 days 2 nights. (4 days would have been perfect)<br />
<br />
There’s so many resorts and hotels around Bali. So I would recommend for exploring when it comes to hotel picking for different experience. People either stay in Kuta (very touristy where hard rock hotel is), Ubud (quite seemingly untouched area filled with beautiful resorts catering more for couples), and Seminyik (where we stay). Seminyik has gained a lot of exposure over the years, foreigners has flooded the place with higher end local design boutiques and cafes/bars. I was told by a local that it has been increasingly popular for tourist and its popularity has already exceeded Kuta. Personally I don’t quite prefer Kuta for its constant traffic jams, and overly packed beach. We happily stayed in Seminyik for the past 3 days with 2 main aims, sunbathe and drink. No sightseeing this trip just pure relaxing trip to get away from the work related stress.<br />
<br />
Crazieapple chose <strong>Annora Villa</strong>, Seminyik for this trip. We booked a 2 room pool villa, with a nice private pool and spacious deck with sofas, tv, and dining table. It is located at a convenient spot, walking distance from the main shopping roads (about 10 minutes), and 5 minutes walk from the beach. Annora Villa is a boutique resort that only houses 13 villas. Exclusive with extremely helpful friendly staffs. <br />
<br />
As soon as we landed, we got our driver to bring us to the nearest supermarket to stock up on alcohol, and food for the night- we were planning a BBQ at our villa. You can rent them from the resort at least one day in advance. We didn’t, and Annora said they couldn’t prepare in time at first, but after our disappointing whine and all, they went all their way to find one for us. Thank you Annora =)<br />

Directly Outside our villa is the common pool and a shaded cabannaarea , which is seemingly untouched. It's almost like we had the whole resort to ourselves. During our trip there, i've only seen one couple sunbathing at the leisure chairs. The rest of the guest must b hiding in their own retreat because everything can be delivered to you- it's too convenient. </div>

Of course we would not be contented with just beer. We stock up on some Smirnoff ice (yummay!), Belvedere Vodka, Hendrink Gin (i only drink gin and tonic with this now. I can't settle for anything else.hehe) Put in some lime, and tonic Wahla! it's good to go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whilst the rest of the guest were there for a retreat, we treated our pool villa as our party house. Bought really cheap Music CDs by those pirated CD shops- RM3 per disc?, and blast it out from our outdoor TV which has a dvd player. Few hours of fun in the sun and water, the friendly staff of Annora came by as per scheduled time to set up our bbq pit.</div>

How about a nice brunch with some lovely eggs and decent strong coffee? <strong>Bistro A Table</strong> offers just that, and can I just say that they have officially serve the best brunch in KL at the moment? I think I just said it. <br />
I Shall skip the introduction and hit the main notes, you can refer to my dining experience in Bistro A Table <a href="http://augustdiners.blogspot.com/2011/06/ms-jazz-reviews-bistro-table-pj-section.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We were here for a sole purpose, and that is for their <strong>EGGS!</strong> I think I’ve just stepped into some <span style="font-size: large;">eggy wonderland.</span> *swoon*<br />

<strong>Duck Egg Croque Madame</strong> <strong>with toasted bread, Gruyere béchamel & Italian Turkey Bacon (RM24).</strong> The combination works well. The gruyere cheese tasted light in the palate but can be a little relenting rich after awhile. <br />
<br />

<strong>Organic Corn Fritters with avocado salsa, oven roasted roma tomato, coriander salad & turkey bacon (RM24).</strong> I’ve had my share of good corn fritters in Melbourne- one of the favourite being in Mart 130! Melbournians should be able to relate! I didn’t quite like the ones served here. Not because it’s bad, but because of the overpowering taste of Indian spices that goes into an otherwise lightly battered and mildly crunchy corn fritters. P.s. I didn’t like antipodean’s version for the same reason too! I wonder whether it is the original recipe to go heavy on the spices?<br />
<br />

What really stands out is their <strong>Truffled organic scrambled eggs with roasted Portobello mushrooms & oven roasted roma tomatoes with toasted sourdough bread (RM28)</strong>. By far our favourite item of the whole lot, and arguably the best in town thanks to those wonderful truffle-packed and incredibly light albeit just a tad runny, while I had my first bite, I thought to myself, yes this is how scrambled eggs are suppose to taste like! Why o why can’t other brunch places follow suit? The lovely egg texture have left me melting with happiness<br />

<br />
<strong>House smoked Tasmanian King Salmon Eggs Benedict with saute baby spinach (RM28)</strong> holds really well too. Perhaps one of the better hollandaise sauce I’ve tasted in a long while, nicely salted and pack with buttery flavours. The smokey salmon melded nicely to the well-poached eggs. <br />

<strong>Latte (RM10) house blend</strong> for takeaways</div>
<br />
<strong>My verdict for the coffee?</strong> Excellent smooth foam and temperature, visually appealing, but unfortunately the bean lacks coffee aroma and tasted quite weak and milky. Callings for double shot of espresso on next visit for sure. <br />
<br />
P.S.S Read from eatdrinkkl (whoelse!) that there's another branch opening in Gardens, Midvalley. Hooray to that, they must have done something right. <br />
