Le Moon's Eatery.Bakery.Zakka @ Jade Hills, Kajang

I like celebrating Valentine's day but I hate unscrupulous vendors who tries to cash in on this special day. I think it's pathetic and evil that you make lovers pay so much on such a special day. This special day is to celebrate love, it should be very special and not burn a huge hole in your pocket. Everything suddenly costs double or triple just because it's Valentine's day - Florists, Gift Shops, Restaurants and etc.

Even though I like to celebrate, I will not eat at a restaurant that charges crazy pricing just to dine there on V day and worst they only serve Valentine Set and no other menu. I had a tough time looking for a place because every restaurant I called only serves Valentine Set and pricing wise, please go kill yourself. Even Japanese restaurants and Bakeries suddenly serve only Valentine Set *Face Palm*RM500 per person!!!!!! SERIOUSLYYYY!!! That's not even per couple... Another restaurant RM388 per person. I think you're mad!!! You think everyone owns a BANK!!! It's not a matter of we don't have the money, it's just we rather not support restaurants whose only interest is to cash in on a happy occasion.

After many phone calls, we finally decided on Le Moon's. RM169 for 2 person is okay with us. Le Moon looks promising and we haven't been to Kajang before, so we don't mind the adventure.

All dolled up ;)





Booked my own table, mean boyfren :/


Valentine Set for 2 person (RM 169).

All tables have a name tag which means they are all booked. Guys name by the way, there's Eugene, Nick & etc. 
Ours was the only one with a girl's name ;)

English Breakfast (RM 9). Drinks are not included in the set.


Sleepy baby.


He's hungry & restless.

Cool, they have a lift.

Mussels in cheesy tomato sauce and seared scallops in garlic butter accompanied by pumpkin tortellini in mustard mayo dressing ~ Mussels are okay, Scallops are realllllly tiny that I can't taste them, and pumpkin tortellini are nice.


Creamy mushroom soup served with love pie topped with pesto croutons and shimiji ~ Soup is yummy with the croutons. Pie is okay. 


Honeydew sorbet served on a bed of brunoise fresh fruit and finished with an apple chip ~ Okay only. 


Lemon, herbs, parmesan crusted cod fish accompanied with linguine in clam sauce finished with caviar & fresh herbs ~ I LOVE LOVE cod fish, it's my favorite fish anyway it's cooked, but this time it's bad. I feel sad because I couldn't enjoy my favorite fish. Fish was dry and slightly tough; The sauce does not compliment the fish and linguine at all, it tasted odd - creamy sourish herby.


Roasted rack served on a bed of mashed potato, roasted vegetables, and finished with rosemary juice & mint dressing ~ Lamb is good, medium well cooked. Mashed potato however is salty and has a very strong asparagus stench.


Cupid Arrow: Berry mouse filled layered sponge cake served with pineapple and chilli sorbet, choc glaze, and berry coulis ~ I'm sorry but this dessert is off. Centre filling of the sponge cake is sour because of the pineapple, while the top filling is very dense and sticky. No offence but it does not taste good at all. I would prefer if they gave yam ice cream (since it's that color), it will taste better much better than sorbet. Crushed chocolate is not smooth and bland.


After we were done with our food, we moved to the sofa.
















The ambiance here is lovely, I like how the eatery looks on the outside, like a garden cafe, it's beautiful. Food wise not so great, baby like the lamb and I like the mushroom soup only. Service is good though, staffs are attentive and always smiling.

Naughty Babe Dirty Duck @ Desa Sri Hartamas

OOTN.


Haha Naughty Drink and Naughtier Drink. Cute!

We couldn't decide on which appetizer to order so we played a game. We each choose 1 appetizer, Feli chose The Platter and I chose Button Mushrooms. 'One Two Jooz' looks like Feli won - Stone beats bird. 

Orange Juice (RM 6.50).

Ginger Beer (RM 5).

Nymph of The Nile Organic Tea (RM 8): Organic White Peony tea with Persian Pink Rose and Egyptian basil.

If you enjoy tea with strong flower fragrant smell & taste, then this is the tea for you.

NBDD Platter (RM 58): Combination of Spanish Chorizo, and Serrano Ham, served with mixed salad, mixed olive and toasted nut ~ Scrumptious. I'm not really a fan of cold food but this is really good. I wish there were more.

Amy wasn't here yet so we saved a few pieces for her.

Dirty Duck Linguine (RM 25): Sauteed with onion, garlic, basil and smoked duck breast slices and tossed with Truffle oil ~ Delicious, tasteful and the amount of oil is just right. 

NBDD BBQ Pork Ribs Half Slab (RM 38): Signature Pork Ribs lacquered with out homemade barbeque sauce and grilled to perfection with sauce dippings of Tomato Salsa and Hot Stuff ~ The ribs are very yummy and juicy, the skin is awesome, and Hot Stuff dipping is good. However Amy said that Morganfields serve better ribs. I haven't tried Morganfields so I can't compare but what I can say is it's definitely better than Chicago. 

Dirty Duck (RM 32): Duck Leg Confit served with sauteed yam and bacon pork, grilled zucchini and mushroom sauce ~ This unfortunately wasn't a very good dish, the duck was dry and tough. 

 Creme Brulee (RM 12): Known as burnt cream. Rich custard base topped with contrasting layer of hard caramel ~ Custard is good but I hope for more burnt sugar. The base of the pot is deeper than it looks so theres a lot more custard.

My long overdue birthday dinner.

Staff here are very attentive and friendly despite being very busy running up and down. Tables however are very small, We ordered a few dishes and it came before we manage to finish the earlier dish. We had to rush to finish the earlier dish to clear space. No qualms about the food, its really good except for the Duck Confit which was a slight letdown.

Cafe Lafayette Revisit @ Damansara Uptown



Ceylon Tea (RM 9).

Extra Milk for the tea lady.


Lemon Sauce Grilled Salmon (RM 23.90) ~ Absolutely yummy. Ms D asked the waiter to give compliments to the chef. I usually don't prefer anything with lemon, the taste just irks me but I have to admit the sauce is really good.

Fish N' Chip (RM 16.90) ~ The outer layer of the fish taste slightly odd, much better with tar tar sauce. Mashed potato is very good, sauteed veggies however are too salty. 


Chocolate Mousse with Jack Daniels (RM 12.90) ~ Okay, perfect for alcohol lovers.

RIP-OFF Mixed Rice @ Nan King Restaurant, Taipan USJ

I name this The RIP-OFF chap faan ~ RM 7.

Why it's a RIP-OFF?
1. I use my own tupperware.
2. I didn't take any rice.
3. There's no meat unless you consider the fish ball meat. Only tofu, cabbage and 4 fish balls. I took little veggies. 

I don't think the above should cost RM7. If it's RM4 I don't mind, if it's RM5 that's slightly expensive but RM7 is too much. That's just crazy. They think because it's mixed rice or economy rice they can simply charge people as they pleased. Even if Chinese New Year is around the corner or raw materials are expensive that does not justify the ridiculous pricing and mind you petrol has been reduced A LOT. I shall forever never eat at your stall again. You can take my RM7 and fly kite.

Mixed Rice Stall
Restoran Nan King
(Opposite Pappa Rich)
 Jalan USJ 10/1,
47640 Subang Jaya.
Open during the day only.

I bought this from another Mixed Rice seller. Guess how much? RM 4 only and yummy too. Now this is what I call reasonable. I covered my tupperware with veggies until you can't even see the base.

This mixed rice stall is open for lunch and dinner. You'll have to arrive early though, food gets sold out really fast. For lunch it's best to get there by 12-1230pm. As for dinner, latest by 630pm. I've been there many times for dinner, I arrive at 645pm and almost everything is gone.
