Stickhouse at Sunway Pyramid Smile Nov 08, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Stall / Warung | Ice Cream / Froyo / Gelato

Have you ever tried the Italian Handcrafted Gelato? If you haven't then maybe you might want to try out this awesome sensation at this newly opened and innovative healthy gelato concept from Italy which is called Stickhouse.

 
So what's so special about this Italian Handcrafted Gelato?
Combining the homemade tradition of the Italian art of gelato making and up-to-date technology, we introduce gelato on a stick that has proven popular in many countries. Stickhouse ice cream parlors are available around the world in more than 30 cities. With a strong fan base already in Europe, Middle East and Asia, it is now rapidly expanding in Asia with shops in Seoul, Manila, Jakarta, Singapore, and now Malaysia.

 
Stickhouse gelatos are produced using ONLY 100% natural and genuine ingredients used without adding artificial flavouring, colouring, or preservative. Fresh fruit, milk and cream together with the "Stickhouse Bases" and the decorations guarantee a healthy, full-bodied product with a persistent taste. Just what do we have in our bases that is so healthy?

 
Apart from using healthy ingredients, the techniques they use in the production of their stick gelatos make a huge difference too. A lot of ice cream manufacturers churn their ice cream by 'whipping' their ingredients and adding air, which increases the volume of any frozen dessert. It is a fact that manufacturers take full advantage of this to produce and sell more of their product.

 
3 different flavours of premium range gelato with various toppings and coatings.

 
3 different flavors of premium range sorbet also with various toppings and coatings.
I now craving for the watermelon with chocolate coating as I'm writing this blog post! lol

Premium: RM 8.90

Spaghetti Grill at Paradigm Mall Smile Nov 08, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Restaurant | Pizza/Pasta | Steaks / Chops

A few months back, my friend Ashley Mah has left to Wellington, New Zealand to further her study. On a Saturday which was two days before her flight, we had lunch together along with my girlfriend. Cut the story short, we had our lunch at Spaghetti Grill in Paradigm Mall. It was our first time dining there and weren't very sure if it's good or not.

 
Our first dish to arrive was the Seafood Pasta that cost around RM26+
Seafood was good but I feel that it's too dry and quite tasteless.

 
Next was the Beef Bolognese Spaghetti that cost about RM20+
Taste okay just like any other bolognese spaghetti out there but I've taste better ones.

 
Then comes the Ham and Cheese pizza. I can't remember how much this cost but this was the best among all the dishes I had. It's cheesy and soft, I don't like my pizza to be hard when I bite it. The last one was the onion ring which took them quite a long time to serve us but at least they have good customer service.

 
This onion ring is good too but must eat it while it's still warm or else it will be very hard to chew later on.

It was one of the weekend when I was being invited for a food review at QQ Snowmix taiwanese dessert shop which is located at somewhere nearby Giant in Bandar Puteri Puchong. From what I've been told, the ingredients that they are using had passed the strict Food Rules and Regulations known as SGS (The international food inspection company) and consumers can enjoy their desserts without getting worried about any risk that will affect their health.

 
Taiwan Grass Jelly Soup with QQ Taro, Pearls and Peanuts (RM 6.90)
Those who are not in the mood to have cold desserts can always go for the Taiwan Grass Jelly Soup or the Taiwan Black Sesame Soup with Japanese Matcha Soup and QQ Taro. It's pretty filling and tasty as similar as the cold ones.

 
Taiwan Black Sesame Soup with Japanese Matcha Soup and QQ Taro (RM 6.50)
I've always been a fan of black sesame and the combination of the black sesame soup with the Japanese macha soup was brilliant! The rich texture from every scoop of the spoon was very worthwhile to have if you did not have a proper meal to begin with.

 
Lemon Jade Jelly Ice (RM 5.50)
Next up is the Lemon Jade Jelly Ice where the taste won't go wrong, it's sweet and sour at the same time. The jelly was chewy and it goes very well with the sourly ice taste! smile

 
Taro Ice Series ( RM 6.50 )
As mentioned, this was baby Choulyin's favorite. The mashed up between the Taro Ice and the Soya Ice were good. It soothers our throat with the smoothness of the ice especially the Taro Ice. I have given my thumbs up to this bowl of taiwanese dessert. Surely, this is a must try in QQ SnowMix.

 
The Big Taipei (RM24.90) on the left and the normal bowl of Best Seller Grass Jelly Ice Series (RM 6.90) is on the right side. The Big Taipei is really one big ass bowl of taiwanese dessert and the portion is really good for 4 pax or more. If you come in a group or with your family, this is very suitable to be in the order list.

Last but not least, QQ SnowMix Puchong also provide a stamping card to all the customers and you will receive a FREE dessert once you have collected 10 stamps but too bad it's not applicable for other outlet.

Pick-Me-Up Cafe @ Kuchai Lama Smile Nov 08, 2013

I figured that most of you that have not heard about this cafe before must have thought that this is a place where you will need to pick someone up after hanging out at this particular place. As for me, I interpreted it as a place that serve a wide amount of scrumptious dessert and snacks that are too good to have it there that we must pick it up along our way back home or to any other destination.

 
Chili Chic Fries, RM8.00
The sauce for the Chili Chic Fries was actually tasted the same as the Chili Chic Quesadillas filling.
Apart from that, we also had the soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt.

 
Chili Chic Quesadillas, RM8.50
Next up, it was the typical Mexican snack, the Chili Chic Quesadillas. Somehow we were quite disappointed that the snack were not served similar as displayed in the picture. However, as Annie and Jared pointed out to us, this was because their food photographer wanted to showcase the fillings of the Quesadilla. However, they can't put so much chicken as it will come out at the sides when they grill it. But thankfully, it tastes really good beyond our expectation.

 
Cheesy Fries, RM5.50

 
Soft serve Ice Cream with Cornflakes, Nata de Coco and Oreo bits, RM 5.50

 
Ice Cream Burritos, RM5.50 per piece
The first dessert served to us was the Ice-Cream burritos. Customer gets to choose from Mango, Banana, or Oreo which will be rolled together with Vanilla Ice Cream and drizzled with Chocolate sauce on the inside. I love all three flavor since I have always been a big fan of mango, banana and oreo since my young age smile

 
The second dessert that we had was the Ice Tower which was still under the R&D stages, this is not out in their products offering yet. It's an ice tower made up of three distinct ice shaves, being cincau, gula melaka, and soya, with a red beans acting as separators. Toppings that come with it are taro balls, cincau, pearls, and barley. They also come with a side condiment of creamer and gula melaka.

They said, the best thing in life is not money but it's good food and best with a couple of good company. That's why when there's a victory or achievement in something, there's always a big feast with plenty of close people invited. Do you agree? Hence, that's what the peeps in Petite Millie believes. Petite Millie is an extension of the flagship restaurant Millesime located in Menara Kencana Petroleum in the Solaris Dutamas area. Opened not too long, The Petite Millie name bears the meaning ‘Little Millesime’ and is based on the modern European casual dining, reminiscent of but not confined by the French brasserie dining concept.

 
Bourguignonne Style Beef Bavette (RM46.50)
The Bourguignonne Style Beef Bavette is one of their favorite main course among the customers. On the dish is the tender Angus Flank of Beef Braised with Shallot, Mushroom and Demi Glace. I personally recommend this dish to those who love their Angus beef to be nicely braised and juicy in every single bite. Though the portion might be a little too small but this is why people will always crave for this kind of dish instead of having a big piece of beef steak that is just for the sake of filling one's stomach.

 
Emilia's Tagliatelle al Duck Ragu (RM28.50)
As I was drafting for this blog post, my stomach was growling when I looked at the picture. This dish consist of Two Duck Preparation, Pesto sauce which had the touch of consists of the crushed garlic, basil, and European pine nuts blended with olive oil and cheese, Oregano for a little minty taste and some crispy Breadcrumbs!

 
Avocado and Crab...c'est une boone vie! (RM19.50)
The next dish is one of their unique "Tarte Flambee", their very own version of a hot baked tart with Creme Fraiche. The one which you saw above has the Fragrant Tyme, Lemon Oil, Chive and Crab Meat Salad with Avocado. I like to have crab and avocado but never ate both together and this was a pretty good food experience for me. Just one thing, I would prefer the avocado to be sliced into smaller piece and to spread evenly on top of it so that I can enjoy both crab and avocado together in every single bite!

 
Iberian Beef Cecina (RM19.50)
Filled with slices of Air Dried Beef Loin, which looks like bacon but doesn't crisp but instead it has the chewy taste and Capsicum Concasee, which means various type of Capsicum spread on top of the hot baked tart.

 
Very Atas One! (RM26)
Thinly Sliced of Beef, Blue Cheese Crumbs with Caramelized Onions.

Overall, the food is good, if the portion for the main course can be slightly bigger then I might consider coming back on weekly basis. Some might not be able to handle the 'kaw' taste of the blue cheese for the Very Atas One including myself. The price on the menu also quite atas one. Ambience is quite nice, warm and they provide a squarish 'thing' on the floor for the ladies handbag which is a plus point. If your boss is loaded and have plenty to spend, then you should organize a simple company lunch or dinner here.
