Tokyo Street, Cafe Takahashi @ Pavilion KL

 Pavilion KL is noted for it's luxury shopping and high-end retail outlets. This luxury shopping haven also offers food and cuisines with price tags of similar standards... (be prepared for the high prices of food)


 
 

 We decided to try out some japanese fusion food offered by Cafe Takahashi along Tokyo Street @ Pavilion KL.

They offer reasonablely priced set lunches.
Here's what we ordered:-

I liked my main dish very much. The spaghetti was bursting with flavour and the roasted chicken was still succulent although cripsy outside. Yum!!

 The beef spaghetti was ordered by my friend who preferred the beef be well done. It sorta came medium rare. But the spaghetti was equally tasty!!
Beef slices with fried udon
 Our sets came with a fruit punch, soup and dessert

I absolutely loved the fruit punch! It came with a juicy cherry inside. - A real thirst quencher!

 THe mushroom soup was so-so. Fancied the crouton which was crispy :)

 The best was dessert! Vanilla ice-cream creatively topped with fruit sauce & chocolate love-letters and layered with 'honey-stars'. Delicious!!

Delifrance @ Cheras Leisure Mall

Desserts are truely something to look forward to anytime of the day! Yes, including breakfast :)
I usually enjoy eating fruit with pastry. And what better way than to have it in a form of a fruit tart or puff pastry. So far, Delifrance has been offering great fruit pastries ever since I can remember.
 
They used to have 2 outlets in Penang - their first in Sunshine Square, and the other in Komtar. Both have since closed down due to poor business. I must admit the prices are quite something for just pastry.
Selection of pastries and MACAROONs!

 
So, I can only get Delifrance in KL. And that's exactly what I did! Got me some Delifrance fruit pastries... and to my surprice, they were going for Buy 1 One 1 Free!!
 



RM4.50 for both the tart & puff... AWESOME!!

Morganfield @ Gurney Paragon

Earlier this month, my brother treated the whole family to lunch at Morganfield's at Gurney Plaza.

 THe interior of the restaurant had one wall adorned with racks and racks of wine.

 On the other walls, pictures and posters of old American advertisements were seen hung on brick covered walls. Just gives you that old american feelin'.


Morganfield's Menu - creatively presented on a clip-board
 Our lunch was huge! We were super duper full by the end of it.
Here's what our masive orders were...

For starters, I wanted their chilli cheese fries - my all time favourite!
The chilli was made of tomato paste and it has minced meat (either pork or beef, not sure which). It went really well with the fries. Reminds me of the chilli&fries that Carl's Jr has. This cost RM18 plus (i think)
Chilli Cheese Fries
Our mains include: Chicken & Prawns - this was served with rice. We really really liked the way the rice was prepared. Super delicious. RM35.90
Chicken & Prawns

Morganfield's bestseller - Sticky Bones. Half-rack of pork ribs (RM38.90). Tender down to the bone. It was however, lacking in the sauce. And when were asked for more sauce, apparently it costs RM1 for additional cause. Perhaps that's why it was dry to begin with. hmp. But the ribs were tasty and tender... so OK la...

 
 
I ordered Chicken Roulade (RM32.90). And I was so glad I ordered this. It was the best I've tasted so far! The chicken was juicy, tender and the sauce that accompanied it was perfect! Love, love, love this dish! Comes highly recommended, I must say. The chicken is stuffed with minced pork and sausage, then wrapped in pieces of bacon. Absolute heaven!



All-in-all, lunch at Morganfield's was marvellous...

House of Pancakes @ Paradigm Mall KL

I first found this gem of a place in Midvalley Megamall. I had one of their set lunches and I was sold! They offer the best Mexican Taco I have ever tasted and it left me wanting more!
 
This time that I was in KL, I again spotted this outlet at Paradigm Mall. Without hesitation, I ordered the same set for my lunch.
 



 From the menu, you can see they have a selection of food from sandwiches to burgers to pasta and of course, Taco!

Here's what I ordered : Taco!! ANd the set comes with ice-lemon tea and 3 pieces of pancakes.
The Taco with chicken filling and pasta salad on the side - SUPER DELICIOUS!
and the TACO shell was very crispy

Soooooo Good!!!

The most fluffy and light pancakes ever!!!

Orange is their official colour... nice ambience
