Munich Gastro Bierhaus @ IOI Puchong

This was recommended by a friend and we had the opportunity to check them out one weekend. Munich Gastro Bierhaus is just located at IOI Boulevard Puchong (if you wonder where the hell is the boulevard, just opposite the Jusco/IOI Mall)

They also have "alfresco" dining but the boulevard is actually a covered one. So don't have to worry about rain and sun. But it could be quite warm on the sunny day.

So we chose to dine inside... it's a small place but cozy. When we reached there at 7 p.m, most of the tables have been taken up and we had to settle with a small table. It could be uncomfortable when you have more than 2 persons dining together.

The menu... quite a comprehensive one for German beers and foods.

Franzi Dunkel 1 pint @RM28.00 - Quite pricey but at least you get the chance to try the German Beer.

Pork Knuckle @ RM43.90 - You don't go to German restaurant and not ordering their pork knuckle! So we ordered ours... it was huge! The above photo didn't really do the justice about its size. Well, it was at least a foot long! The skin was damn crispy while the meat was tender. Trust me you could go no wrong with this one. I actually saw the table next to us, a family of 3 ( parents and a daughter) that ordered 2 pork knuckles and plate of pasta. Either the pork knuckle was so damn good or they had already starved for a period of time... either way I had to salute them!

Pork Ribs with BBQ sauce @ RM23.90 - Came in 4 pcs of ribs, which was just nice for 4 of us to share. It was quite good and worth a try.

Lamb Cutlet @ RM39.90 - Came in 4 pcs also... but smaller piece. It tasted quite OK but the price was a bit on the high side for its size and portion.

The total bill came to RM149.25 inclusive of 10% service charge. Overall I would say it was reasonable and definitely worth a come back. However my only complaint would be their small table. We literally had to swallow our food ( a bit exaggerated though) so that the plate could be cleared before the next dish came. This made our dining experience less enjoyable. From the time we ordered our food and paid the bill was less than an hour... It's good when you are in a rush but it was not in the case here.

New York New York Deli @ One Utama

There were few times when we walked pass this restaurant, we saw some tables ordered foods that served in a big plate to share. It indeed looked mouthwatering to me and we decided to check them out last weekend.

Outside view of the restaurant...

The interior...

The menu... quite a comprehensive menu. Pasta, pizza, burger and etc are all available here. Price wise, I would say reasonable.

...and we ordered this. Super Sinful Meat Platter For 2...

Look at the BIG plate compared to the standard size dinner plate on the right hand corner.

The lamb was tender enough... but unfortunately too much fat.

The whole roasted spring chicken... tasted good with the BBQ sauce, albeit it was a bit too thick though.

The chicken cigars... crispy enough. They should have given Wagyu Beef instead of another chicken. Too much chicken!

The potato wedges... tasted quite good. It would be even better if they put some melted cheese on it.

The Large Ice Latte... RM 8.90. It was just latte, nothing more and nothing less but big enough for 2.

The overall experience was positive and I guess we would come back to try their other dishes as well.

Grill King Hainan Western

The other half used to brag how good was the western food being served in this restaurant in Puchong which she kept coaxing me into trying them out. So one fine rainy day I decided to check them out.

The place was dimmed with purplish lighting where it was difficult to produce good quality image with my camera.

The place was rather empty when we arrived. Don't know if it was due to the heavy rain.

They offered quite a comprehensive menu with reasonable pricing... you can find Asian noodles, pasta, fried rice and western food. Not sure if it was opened by Hainanese (The word-"Hainan" was on their signboard though) but I was quite puzzled and doubted as I didn't know Hainanese was good in Italian food as well.

Anyway we were reluctant to check out their Italian food but we ordered these...

Alfonso Chicken... The grilled chicken was tender enough and the mango sauce was special but it was a tad too sweet for my liking. The presentation was lousy as only raw veggie ( or salad in nicer term) was placed underneath the chicken. The portion was small. -RM10.90+

Yakitori Pork... It was delicious and I would have no problem in taking 10 sticks myself alone but RM6.00 for 3 sticks that really set me back.

Sirloin Steak... The steak was overcooked and it became a bit "rubberish" and tasteless. The fried rice and veggie were OK. The size of the rubber steak was small.-RM11.90+

Garden Lifestyle Store & Cafe

This restaurant has been around quite a while in One Utama Shopping Mall but it was relatively new to me. Every time I walked up the escalator from the basement car park, I saw a guy stood outside the restaurant and beside the escalator, handing out leaflet promoting the restaurant... but I was just reluctant to check them out until recently... The garden theme restaurant... relaxing atmosphere.

Their menu offers Asian & Western cuisines...

But today we just preferred to check out their set lunch - Entree + Drink + Soup of the day from RM 12.90 - RM 19.90.

Ice Lemon Tea came with the set.

Ice Coffee came with the set.

Soup of the day... served in a coffee cup. I think it was an asparagus soup... a little bit too bland for my tastebuds.

Nasi Lemak... I expected a whole chicken leg but a small "rendang" chicken drumstick was given instead. The rice was not "lemak" enough and too moist. RM 12.90+ which I would prefer the Village Park's one.

Spaghetti Carbonara... a few tiny piece of beef bacon and some tiny piece of oyster mushroom as the main ingredients. The gravy was too dry and not creamy enough. RM 17.90+ was a huge disappointment to say the least.

Random shots of the restaurant...

Quite a picturesque place for your wedding photo maybe?? Well, the above review is just restricted to the 2 lunch sets that I tried and I can't comment the other foods that they offer on their standard menu. In fact they offer quite a comprehensive menu but you just have to check them out yourself!

Lynn's Restaurant & Cafe

Lynn's Restaurant & Cafe may have been opened for business almost a year ago in SS15, somehow I only had the chance to check them out recently even though they are just near to my place.

It didn't have much decorations on the place but it was clean. The lighting was dimmed enough to make the following photos looked more outstandingly... awkward in color, I guess.

Lynn's serves quite a variety of Western & Local Cuisines on their menu. But today I ordered their set meal - an entree and a drink for RM 9.90 nett.
My Ice Lemon Tea.

Grilled Chicken & Fish with Potato Salad. You can have the choice of brown sauce or black pepper sauce. I chose black pepper and it tasted good. The chicken was perfectly grilled where it was tender and succulent while the fish was moist. Overall it was just OK. The portion was not huge nor small but relatively reasonable for the price of just RM9.90 nett inclusive of drink.

After settling my bill, one smiley face on this card was given to me. You can redeem a free meal of either Chicken Chop, Fish & Chips or Spaghetti Bolognaise when the card is fully stamped with the smiley face. One smiley face for every order of RM10.00 and above.

You can find Lynn's at;

Fried Spaghetti With Grilled Chicken

This stall offers quite a fair selection of western dishes in Bandar Menjalara Kepong. Most of the dishes offered on the menu would have fried spaghetti on it. I guess their specialty should be the fried spaghetti with different grilled meat i.e lamb, chicken, ham, fish and so on.

This lady kept frying the spaghetti while the other guy was doing the grilling job.

Today I ordered fried spaghetti with grilled chicken in mushroom sauce (RM9.50). The portion was huge... actually it was a bit heavy to have it as lunch.

The spaghetti was perfectly fried with garlic, butter and basil with a splash of tomato sauce.

The chicken was succulent and tasty with their mushroom sauce. Black pepper would be the other sauce they serve.
If you happen to be in Kepong, just give them a try.
