Full House @ NZX

It's Octo's bday earlier and cos I wasn't feeling well we did not manage to celebrate at a pre picked Korean restaurant at Cheras. So while waiting for the new celebrating day to arrived I so happen to see a review on Full House @ NZX. I posted the link to both Fish & Octo and as usual were very excited and more than willing to change the venue to Full House. The front view of the shop

The "Bungalow" floor plan

The place is quite comfy 2 floor cafe. They categorise themself as lifestyle cafe with a range of home deco items, food and a percentage of clothes & complimentary accessories. Their menu is quite cute where they introduce the family members which consists of the usual daddy, mummy, son, daughter and pet dog. They offer sandwiches, western foods, local delights and a wide range of drinks. Set meals are also provided and the price is fairly reasonable. The place has a garden lawn replica perfect for afternoon tea. So we decided to have our lunch in the "Garden". It's got grass lookalike carpet and artificial bushes to fence up their premise complete with garden seats and umbrella and also artificial doves. P/S: Please do not misunderstand. I was patting the doves not tring to get them off the bushes. L-R: Octo & Me L-R : Fish & Octo I went for the Full House Sandwich while Fish went for the Dory fish set and Octo choose the Carbonara set. We also added an extra bowl of French Fries cos we saw the neighbouring table having it and the smell seems tempting and for desserts, our usual favourites the Tiramisu. Full House Club Sandwich *yummy*yummy*

Dory Fillet Set : Comes with Lime Juice and Ice Cream. Add RM1.00 for Cappucino Mushroom SoupCarbonara

French Fries Tiramisu Food filled table. Table was too small to fit everything. Posing with my sandwich...So HUGE How?? How do i eat this sandwich??? I know...Use my hands..*Yummy*Yummy* Octo enjoying her food with smiles Fish posing with her food After filling our tummies we decided to start with our cam whoring sessions..Haha..Let the fun begin~~~ Do we look alike??? Teehee.. Tea party with my new plush frens.. Baaaa~~~ Trapped in a mirror.. Mirror Reflection (Laughing our heads off trying to snap this picture) Showering together..*Shy*Shy* ARGH~~Peeping Tom~~SHOO~~Go away!! Overall the food is not bad but the service is quite bad and it's quite warm there probably cos it's in the afternoon. The whole bill came to a total of below RM67.00.

Ben & Nick's 080808

Due to the Olympics opening, decided to eat some where near my home so I could go home and watch the opening..hehehe Decided to try out Ben & Nick's opposite my place..the place is nice n cosy...very homely...but place is rather small... For drinks I ordered a cup of mango juice while Vince ordered a Coke light. For starters, we ordered a mushroom soup For main course, Vince ordered steak while I ordered chicken chop Food's nt as good s expected...the steak is not nicely cooked...part of it is too raw while the other part is just nice...the chicken chop doesn't taste very good....but the environment is good so could consider going back nx time to try their lamb shank..haha

Pick n' Brew @ 1 Utama 030808

iced tea @ RM8.00
Hazelnut Latte @ RM8.00

there was this ornament on the table..no i can't call it ornament or maybe test tube thingy..watever le..haha..they fill it wit olive oil & vinegar..it's actually used to serve some form of appetizer where they gv bread baked wit some herbs and u dip the bread into the mixture of olive oil & vinegar...they din serve us tat..dunno y...but the 1st time i went they served us tat...
We ordered a Mushroom soup & smoked salmon on brioche for starters...the mushroom soup is quite bland so we added some pepper to it...but the smoked salmon on brioche taste good...

Cream of Mushroom @ RM13.00

Smoked Salmon on Brioche @ RM17.00 (Sorry..forgot to take the pic..share the salmon pic wit u guys le...Haha..*shy*)

The smoked salmon on brioche taste good. It's served with egg, some sort of vege, smoken salmon, cherry tomatoes & the brioche...For main course, I ordered the Penne Carbonara while Vince ordered the Braised Lamb ShankBraised Lamb Shank @ RM38.00 (Served with Mashed Potato, 3 strands of Asparagus & 4 Biji Brussel Sprouts)
Penne Carbonara @ RM18.00 (Served with Bacon & Additional Cheese Powder)

The lamb shank doesn't taste very good s compared to the shank at Las Carrestas...the meat texture is very harsh and dry...

We din manage to finish the food...the Penne Carbonara was too salty...probably too much salt and the bacons are salty at the first place...

we din finish our food....drinks i finished mine but Vince dun like his drink so he only had half a cup..the coffee is quite nice actually...heheheh...so i gulped every drop of it..hahahaha

The total bill came to RM112.20....not as good s expected..perhaps cos i ordered the wrong things....but there's this salmon dish i tried during my first visit which tasted good...tats all for now...till i hv budget for more food..hahaha

270708 @ Bruno's, Jaya 33

today i decided to go and try out Bruno's @ Jaya 33 due to many recommendations that their Iberian pigs are good...not much of a pork lover but decided to give it a try....

arrived there fairly early..say bout 6.30p.m... started our order...only 2 of us so we decided to try the iberian pork ribs some other time when we have more company...

For drinks i ordered the iced tea @ RM8.00 and Vince ordered iced lemon tea @ RM10.00

For starters we ordered the soup.."Zarzuela" @ RM19.00..

taste is good...can taste the seafood's sweetness...ingredients include fish slices, scallops, mussel, clams, prawn n chicken broth n some tomato paste (if i'm nt mistaken)..

Nx was our main course...Vince went for the Iberian Pork Chop @ RM52.00 and I went for the Iberian Pork Loin @ RM68.00

The Iberian Pork Chop: Served with some baby potatoes, carrots and pea pods and some dunno what sauce....taste good...

The Iberian Pork Loin : Served with Cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, carrots, zucchini and pea pods..taste good but the pork chop tastes better...

We enjoyed the food...and finished everything...not a single grain was left...HAHAHA

There was space left in our tummy so we decided to go for dessert....Without hesitation we went for the Lava Cake..the thought of the hot chocolcate and cold ice creams lead us deep into temptation...quite costly at RM20.00 each but we decided..argh...wth..just go for it...

the tiny weenie spoon...i told Vince its for ear picking...kakakaka

i had the privilege to take the first bite...so i attacked the cake first...cut it a little and OHHHH chocolate started oozing out...

the warm chocolate oozing out of the cake

we attacked the ice cream and cake and left nothing except the mint leave that was meant for decoration...if i were at home i would've licked the plate clean...HAHAHHAHA
