Posted on January 23, 2012 by millymin

Photobucket Precinct 10, a hub where a number of F&Bs which is located right beside Island Plaza, Tanjong Tokong. Special thanks to YourFoodReview for the special invite to enjoy the wonderful dinner with another four foodies. Being a first timer, I was rather excited to check out this new place as there are quite a number of new F&Bs besides those existing ones.

Besides the lovely ambiance, Chez Weng is spacious, which is suitable for casual dining for a not-too-big-group of corporate gatherings.

Fresh Bread and Dukkah (RM16) was our starter! It came with two small bowls with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Dukkah respectively.

Portobello Mushroom, Garlic Confit, Truffle Oil Pizza (RM35), the pizza brings out the strong taste of the mushroom made it taste really good.

I am a big fan of tomatoes! Tomato, Basil & Mozarella Cheese Pizza (RM35) was served next. Well, when tomotoes are served on pizzas, they need to be really fresh otherwise, it will just ruin your meal!

Pepperoni & Cheese (RM35), which its simple and good.

Prosciutto (RM22), served with slices of rock melon, rocket salad and some olive oil. Photobucket

Serrano Hams (RM22), served with slices of pear.

Prosciutto, Pear, Rocket Salad and Parmesan Cheese Pizza (RM35), I love the taste of the combination of the Parmesan cheese blended with pear!

Duck Confit (RM38), served with mashed potato and a smoked sausage with some broccoli. Balanced dish, simple and I love the tanginess of the duck.

Atlantic Salmon (RM38), mashed potato well made. The grilled salmon is perfectly served. Its a must try.

Pork Belly (RM38), I am not a big fan of pork but its exceptional for this one. It really impressed me. The mashed potato was served as its base and the taste of the pork is very well maintained its naturality of the blend.

What a night to enjoy all good food after a long tiring day at work. Here comes the dessert after all the heavy main meals.Orange Vanilla Crème Brulee (RM16), aside from the taste of the original crème brulee, the orange and vanilla accents do blend well too.

Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries and Chocolate Sauce (RM16), simple and light after heavy meals. The texture is real smooth. Photobucket

Apple Pie with Cinnamon Ice Cream and Caramel Sauce (RM16), the portion is good enough for a pax just in case after a heavy meal. Photobucket

Chocolate Mousse with Marinated Strawberries, Cookies Crumbles & Brandy Sauce (RM16), the freshness of the strawberries are sour enough to blend with the mousse. Well done.

Apple Pie with Cinnamon Ice Cream and Caramel Sauce (RM16), some caramel sauce and having it served in a strudel. Simplicity still rawks!

Chez Weng has a beautiful ambiance with life band entertaining the the diners too. Not too loud, just nice for friendly catch ups.

Koh Lipe 08/11: Time to Fish

Posted on November 9, 2011 by millymin

Beautiful day for the sea.

We had two boats to cater for all of us Check out my significant tan

If one day I return to Koh Lipe, I will take a good shot of this scene. Hopefully its still there if I ever go back.

Patience is virtue

Check out the catch! Its for dinner

Since we were heading out to the see, I decided not to bring my cam along. No hp, no camera! Yea, don’t be surprise but I really did survive without those two. But when I saw the sunset, I went … !!! *hit head* Why din I bring along my camera? Lucky thing Alfonso brought his with him and best part was he wasn’t using it!

The Fisherman

We were kinda late for dinner. After washing up, yadda-yaddi, we were all ready by half-pass nine? Gosh! Places started to close and all, couldn’t get a place for dinner but one! Well, we were left with no choice anyway.

Wine, fried rice and a night filled with laughters.

Welcome to the Bundhaya Resort. A place where there is no reception and purely depending on the satellite :) I dozed off right after dindin, after a long day out to the sea, guess I should be gearing myself up for the next day, a day to snorkel till the sun sets.

Vientiane, Laos

Posted on October 21, 2011 by millymin

Did a last minute packing the night before and got myself ready with my gears for the short trip to Laos, finally. How time flies when we kept on mentioning, “See you in Laos this coming October!” Little did I know time flies and here comes October. Satkuru, Angeline and I flew from Penang to KL. It has been quite a while I last seen the KL folks especially my Mountain Cha BFF. Its all about laughters!

Finally landed my feet in this country. I would say its kinda similar to Phnom Penh and this would be my last trip of the year I guess. So much worries and thoughts in mind and I would say, this is the time to free my mind. Have been going through a tough year. The ups are way lesser then the downs. Regardless what I do, I am nowhere near of finding those perks.

For once, I finally “travel light”! That was all in my bag.

It took us 2 hours and 40 minutes to get ourselves across the many rivers and land before reaching our destination. Flight was bumpy, turbulence was called and prolly a couple of times. Of course I am afraid, especially after watching all the movie. Couldn’t do much as we reach about 6pm.

A tower of local beer, BeerLao.

Dinner was at Khop Chai Deu, having to see lotsa tourists around. They serve Thai, Viet, Western but couldn’t really spot any local stuff which we would love to try. Too hungry for anything, we started feasting right after dropping our bags in the room.

I love tomyum. Very much!

Nice ambiance.

I do not know what happened next door when we got back to our rooms. I was too tired for anything and the next thing I know was hearing the birds chirping when I opened my eyes next morning.

Plans won’t work out if one or two pull out of it. Decided to turn down a food review to be with people I used to see day and night. Now that I am so called so committed to work, I don’t have much time spare to see them. I need to fill my weekend with all my prior, nonetheless, they are my prior.
