Robata Monkey @ Jaya One

Squid Floss (Comp) ~ Keeps you occupy until your meal arrives.

Miso Soup (RM 4) ~ Thick, tasty and ingredients are generous. 

Sashimi Salmon (RM 24) ~ Very fresh and portion is generous.

Baby is impressed at how thick the salmon is.

Chawan Mushi (RM 12) ~ Have to wait for about 10-15 minutes. It's a huge chawan mushi, can be shared with 2 people. Nice & flavorful.

Ume Chatsuke (RM 15) ~ Bad, it's basically just rice with soup & some plums. 

I'm not good with Japanese food names, they have so many fancy names. If they don't put any English description I'm doomed. For example Gindara Teriyaki is Cod Fish Teriyaki. This I know because is my favorite.

I wanted to try the Ume Chatsuke but I don't know what it is, the description says Ume + Rice - So helpful!!! Seriously!!! So I asked the waiter he said Ume is fish belly. I said ohh fish huh ok great I'll order it. It waited for my Ume quite a while so I ask the lady to check on it but before that I ask Ume is fish right?? She said Ume is plums not fish. I was like WTF!!!!! How did Plums become Fish?!?!@?!# Then she said it's also nice. 

My Ume came and I wasn't very impressed. It's sourish. Baby accidentally bite into the plum and his eyes were squinting, I said OMG what's wrong is it a bone? Is it spicy??? He said no it's DAMN sour.

I do hope the staffs here would know what the different foods are, don't have to be specific like fish belly or squid tentacles but at least a fish or a squid. And hopefully there won't be another case like mine: PLUMS = FISH.

Softsrve Ice Cream & Dessert Bar @ Damansara Uptown

It's dinner time & everyones busy eating hence the empty place. Muahahaha.

They are making mine. Excited!!!

Breakfast: Caramelized Cereal & Macaron Shell with Cereal Milk Ice Cream (RM 11) ~ The cereal is yummy - flavored cornflakes, ice cream is good but the macaron is a no no, way tooo sweet. OMG I can't get enough of the cereal.

My ice cream is smoking baybehhhh....

Fluffy: Cotton Candy & Sprinkles of Himalayan Sea Salt (RM 9) ~ Interesting combination of salty & sweet, it's not bad but I prefer Breakfast.

Don't be too happy just yet when you see the tall cup because you don't get the whole cup of ice cream, just that tiny cup on the left. I was excited at first till I was about to finish I was ohh like that only??? I don't think it's a lot especially for guys who takes bigger bites than us girls. But then again I was taking really really small bites and I still think it's little.

 Bottom is filled with liquid nitrogen. While waiting for your order you can see the staff pressing the silver container to fill the bottom of the cup with liquid.

Verdict: I prefer Milkcow in terms of ice cream and macaron, Milkcow definitely nailed these two. Milkcow's ice cream is fluffier and milkier. As for Softsrve I like the smoking gas (great for pictures) and caramelized cereal.

Dash of Nutmeg @ Bangsar Village I

I didn't quite like the food at the original Nutmeg but maybe here is different.

After paying you'll get a wooden spoon as a prize. Kidding ;)

Dory Fritter with Chips (RM 15) ~ Dory tasted like it has been frozen a long time and only a few pieces of it.

Dory Fritter with Pasta (RM 15) ~ Sauce is too sour.

Dory Fritter with Pasta (RM 15) ~ Dory is tasteless, like eating fried flour.

It's like having Spaghetti with Bolognese soup. The sauce is too sour so I asked for more grated Parmesan cheese. They don't have grated cheese but it's in the form of thin slices. It did improve the sourness slightly but the cheese couldn't melt properly and my spaghetti was filled with chunks of cheese and it wasn't very nice.

A Wet Thai Food Cafe @ Bandar Puteri, Puchong

Pandan Water (RM 0.80) ~ Diluted. I rather they give plain water than half tasting pandan water, Eww. Served once you are seated. Don't be too happy just yet they charge for it.

White Tom Yam Seafood Soup (RM 9.90) ~ Too sour and seafood is almost non existent.

Tom Yam Seafood Soup (RM 9.90) ~ Mom complained that it's too sour and diluted.

Thai Fried Rice (RM 9.80) ~ I left half of the rice untouched because it's just too salty. I tried my best but I just can't finish it.

Ladna Kuew Teow (RM 11.80) ~ Same as Cantonese Wat Tan Ho. Too much pepper, very strong pepper taste & smell.

Thai Style Fried Vermicelli (RM 11.80) ~ Not bad.

Thai Style Cendol (RM 6.80) ~ Daddy don't really like it. Ice is coarse. 

Ais Kacang (RM 6.80) ~ Okay but ice is coarse.

When I was ordering my Tom Yum soup, I was looking around the menu treasure hunting trying to find Tom Yum soup with noodles. The lady was standing behind of me and I asked her which of the Tom Yum has noodles, she kept quiet. So I turn back to the menu to continue treasure hunting, failed I looked at her and ask again. She kept quiet then she said for lunch only. So I said any Tom Yum soup with noodles that you have now, she just twitched her lips. OMG kill me please.......... 

I ended up having Tom Yum Soup and Fried Rice. They serve water once you seated, at first I thought that's nice of them till I saw the bill they charged for the water which I don't think it's very nice because you might not want to have water but something else. No offence but this is by far the worst Thai restaurant I ever had in terms of service and food taste.

Gelato Fruity @ The Main Place

Ooo tempting.

Bacio: Chocolate Hazelnut + Oreos: Cream base with Crunchy Biscuits (0.245kg - RM 20) ~ Rich, creamy, not bad. I prefer Bacio than Oreos because I thought the Oreos are made of well Oreos but it's more like biscuits than Oreos, if you get what I mean.

I was shocked when I saw the bill RM 20 for ice cream?!?!?! Feels like getting chop at Tutti Frutti, you get so excited with all the different stuff that you kept filling your cup and when you pay the bill then you realize ohh it's by weight. Same thing here, we told the lady that we wanted 2 flavors (I thought it's 2 scoops), we saw her stuffing & stuffing the ice cream into the cup as much as possible. Of course we were thrilled more value for us then we realized it was by weight. Ohh again...

It's not her fault of course but I think the lady could have warned us that it was charged base on weight because I could have sworn that I saw RM 4.90 for a scoop. I think my eyes played tricks on me.

Porridge Time @ The Main Place

The essentials (Soy Sauce, Pepper & Sesame Oil).

Fish Porridge (RM 8) + Crab Stick (RM 2.50) ~ Slightly lack of taste, had to add soy sauce & pepper. Crab Stick is pricey, 3 piece only (each about 2-2.5cm) which means 1 whole stick of crab stick =.="

Minced Pork Porridge (RM 8.50) + Salted Egg (RM 1.50) ~ Lack of taste.
