coffee ritual @ section 14

a short food post.

COFFEE RITUAL
53, Jalan 14/20,46100, PJ
03 7956 1080
*Its near the old Jaya Supermarket/ digi mall*


chicken and mushroom pasta, aglio olio style (RM 13.80) with a drink (soft drink or ice honey)
it doesn't really taste like aglio olio. no garlic taste nor chili flakes (the way i like it) its so-so only. but had generous amounts of fresh mushroom and chicken bits. plus extra grated Parmesan cheese :D

or pay RM2.00 to upgrade it cappuccino. so cute and frothy and foamy. not a regular coffee drinker so....no comment. haha, its not bad

turkey ham and mushroom crepe. (RM10.40)
the crepe was nice thin and golden brown. it was stuffed with lots of yummy mushroom and turkey ham and gooey cheese. yummy :D topped with mushroom cream sauce.
ultimate comfort food.
their specialty is...coffee (what else?) and they have these cool fancy coffee makers


chicken pie served with salad and fries (RM14.40) with a drink
nice crust with a hearty chicken, potatoes and carrot filling.
they also have a selection of desserts (which we were too full to order and there is home made apple crumble sitting at home :D) that includes crepe with ice cream, apple pie, cakes and ice cream.
just one grouse, service this time (this is our second visit) was slow :( took ages for the food to come. luckily they had some food and fashion magazines to keep us occupied.
otherwise this is quite a lovely place to dine

yakiyaki japanese barbeque buffet restaurant @ jalan bhkit bintang KL

yet another japanese buffet restaurant
could not resist it as they were having a promotion, lunch or hi-tea ot only RM18.90++ Per person (until end of september)
i did not do any homweork before going, it was just a spontaneous thing, and mummy only made reservations like 3 hours before, after phoning in hundreds of times >.<

YAKI-YAKI JAPANESE BARBEQUE BUFFET RESTAURANT
ground floor, federal bowl, jalan bukit bintang
(its just behind federal hotel)

NORMAL RATES:
buffet lunch (11am to 230pm) RM 65++
Hi tea (230pm- 530pm) RM55++
Buffet dinner (6pm to 11pm) RM75++
Buffet supper (11pm to 2am) RM 65++

look at the queue!!!



the interior was too dark...

but this glass and water part made the place look nicer


it can fit 330 people at a time


the sushi bar

a selection of sushi. it was quite good, but not many choices. and no sashimi!!! :(

this is my favourite item~
salmon tarts.cute finger food :D i think i can replicate this at home :P all i need is shortcrust pastry, salmon, tomato, cucmber, mayo and fish roe!!


and this restaurant claims to be the "first non halal" buffet. so it serves pork! (obviously)
pork intestine and other parts. eww. not my cup of tea...

table number 7!
they have the same concept as tenji. drop the number for ordering the food!


dessert was mochi, baskin robbins ice cream, two types of cakes and fruits.
the black sesame mochi was quite good ~

raw chicken! to be cooked on the bbq pit!

watermelon jelly!

assorted fried stuff



steam fish that was only available for dinner *sulk*


raw eggs??? did not try this >.<
drinks section. many types of juices, soft drinks and coffee/ tea. no coconuts :(


sweeties :D
mango and coffee cake which were rather ordinary

cooked food. fried rice, noodles, chicken, prawns ect.i did not take much of these.

the empty baskin robbins tub~ chocolate flavour. which they did not replenish. what happened to "unlimited" BR ice cream??
so unfair to the customers. ya, it is promotional period but they did advertise that.hmm, bad impression :(

ice cream. the first thing i went for when i got in :D
smart move cos later there was a long queue and chocolate was the first to finish. as usual.


cooked bbq food like yakitori and squid balls.
not bad, but it was rather cold >.< had to heat it up on the bbq pit before eating



the bbq pit on each table. it was kinda like playing masak masak. hahaa

so all in all, its an ok (just OK) place to dine. food is so-so. choices not many. but for RM18.90++ its quite worth it, but i certainly wont pay rm 55 for hi tea. tenji is much better, honestly.

the bakery @ genting hotel

on a very random trip to genting, so spontaneous that we did not have any jackets, or pinkie (the camera) we had afternoon tea in some cafe/ bakery named THE BAKERY :D
its near the main entrance of genting hotel..


yummy pastries..donuts, muffins ect


hot chocolate in a very cute style. hot milk and dark chocolate to be melted in it :D so cute!
its quite bland, too much milk, but the chocolate is of good quality. could not resist taking a nibble before dunking it in the milk


hot frothy cappuccino :D (that has been drunk before i snapped a photo)


yummy cakes, cupcakes, tarts, croissants and quiches.

onion and chicken ham quiches. nice buttery crumbly crust, milky creamy fluffy filling
it was a bit cold though, should have asked them to warm it up



this is very yummy. fluffy raisin scones :D
pity they don't serve it with cream, butter and strawberry jam.
mental note to self, bring it from home next time round :D

how can i resist the beautiful cupcake :D
and we picked the most unique one.
lavender cupcake!!! it tasted like lavender! had cream cheese in it too, and it was topped with the most amazing chocolate ganache. weird combination, but it tasted allright. some thing very different!
it was certainly a delightful afternoon tea. be sure to drop by here when you are in genting :D
