The Salad Bar Revisit @ Damansara Uptown

Grape Pine Smoothie (RM 11.98) add Chia Seed (RM 5.45) ~ Sour.

Cauliflower Spicy Fried Rice (RM 15.28) ~ Nice but would be better if it's less spicy which was what I requested for.

Salad Bar has increase their price from our previous visit which was before the implementation of GST. How much? You may view as below: Personally I think they are too much as they increase their price and still charge GST.

1st pic: Price included GST (RM 11.98 + 6% = RM12.70 >> as per receipt.
2nd pic: Not included (RM 4 + 6% = RM 4.25) >> not as per receipt. Receipt states RM 5.45. So price to add Chia Seed increased not by 6% but 36%. GST has not been included yet.

Let's have a look at what's hidden beneath the new price tag. I would assume it's about RM 9.90. Increase of 21% to the new price of RM 11.98.

The old price of Spicy Fried Rice was RM 12.90.
Increase of 18.5% to the new price RM 15.28.

Their service is horrible, there is no smiling no greeting no thank you, their staff looked at you like you owed them money and worst now they are taking advantage to increase food/beverage prices. I would be okay if they increase by 6%, that is still acceptable but it's not 6%. I'm not sure about you guys but I'm not coming here anymore. Food maybe decent but what's the point of eating and not being happy/satisfied.

Gyu-Kaku Revisit @ Tropicana City Mall


Green Tea (Comp) / Sweet & Sour Sauce / Spicy Sauce.

Chazuke Sake (RM 10.90): Rice in soup topped with Salmon ~ I actually ordered Mentaiko which is cod roe. Soup is almost tasteless, had to add salt & pepper.

Whole Squid Grill (RM 14.90).

Lamb Neck with Basil (RM 15.90).

Cooking tools.

Lamb is kinda thin so the first batch was overcooked. We were smarter in cooking the 2nd batch. Baby liked the lamb.

Not very easy to cook as the squid tends to stick to the grill.

Not bad but it's kinda dry so had to eat with the sauce.

Sumi-Ka Yakitori @ SS15



Prepare yourself CASH only.

He's doing all the BBQing.

Green Tea (RM 3).

Comp Cabbage Salad ~ Cabbage is good, I like the sauce that they use. The carrots, cucumbers & radish are too sour.

Enokimaki (RM 7): Pork Slice with Enoki Mushroom ~ Okay.

Ika (RM 6): Squid ~ Sad looking squid but not too bad.

Mochimaki (RM 6 ech): Pork Slice with Rice Cake ~ Normal, rice cake is tasteless.

Negima (RM 5 ech): Thigh with Green Onion ~ Not bad.

Onigiri Salmon (RM 5) ~ Like eating plain rice with little salmon.

What salmon?

Sumi-Ka has limited tables so make a reservation or you may walk in and wait for an empty seat to open up. I wasn't at all satisfied with the meal, it's expensive and very small portioned so overall bad value for money. I didn't saw this but baby told me he saw the chef using the tongs to handle the food and to take charcoal. That's so unsanitary. By the way if you are wondering what are tongs, it's as below:


We were still hungry so we stopped by the SS15 Lok Lok cart.

I would much rather pay to eat this than what I had just now. This may look simple but much more satisfying. Have you tried their BBQ bacon, OMG too die for. I'll take a picture next time. I usually eat at the Lok Lok cart in Taipan USJ, I have to point out that this Lok Lok cart (SS15) is very unhygienic. He used the water that was dripping from the cart into that blue container to wipe the sauce area. Also while we were taking food a cockroach were squirming to get below the food area. We immediately notified the guy, he took some soup and poured on the cockroach which fell and ran onto the road. Of course we know that some businesses don't have clean food preparations but please don't let me see it.

Mixed Rice Revisit @ Restoran Le Kwang, USJ2

Before GST was implemented: RM 4

After GST was implemented: RM 4. 

Sad to say after GST, price has increased but still cheaper than the other mixed rice stalls that I've been to so I can't really complaint much. And they say that GST is not a burden :(
If they don't earn RM500,000 a year it is not necessary to register for GST. However, some business owners are smart enough to increase their price without collecting GST.

Mixed Rice Stall
Restoran Le Kwang

Open for lunch (Best before 1215pm) and dinner (Best before 615pm).
