My friend recommended Annalakshmi to me, when I told her about my cravings for Briyani. As it was Saturday night it only took us 20 minutes to reach Brickfields from Petaling Jaya (No Traffic Jam), where my normal journey early in the morning will took about 40 minutes to reach KL Sentral. Annalakshmi is located at Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur and I am sure many of you guys know them for their special charity event " Eat as many you want and pay as you wish" but now they changed their concept to Buffet and Ala-Carte menu to avoid people misusing their charity programme. We are welcomed by the grandpa at the entrance and he seated us in the 4pax table. Once seated, you can start taking your own food from the buffet counter and they also have Chapatti, Naan (Butter Naan, Garlic Naan & Plain Naan) and Poori included in the buffet but you have to order this to the person in charge as this will only be prepared upon order. The ambiance was good. Lovely classical background music was playing while enjoying the foods. 1 round. Poori was delicious and don't worry it was not spicy. Just red in colour. Garlic Naan was soft and has good garlic taste.The food was so good that I went for 2 round!!It was a perfect dinner for us. RM 20 per person for dinner buffet and drinks are not included in the buffet. Foods are lovely home cooked meal and it is like I am dining in my own house. My favourites are their Pal Payasam, Idly, Sambar, Chutney, Rasam, Yogurt, Paan, Naan and Pori.

Tips: Please bear in mind that you are not allowed to wear shorts, sleeveless and japan slipper to dine-in.

favourite tea. After smelling all the tea leaves, I choose their Signature Tea
Verandah and main course as we haven had our lunch. I ordered Grilled Salmon
Steak and Mussels Pot.The tea leaves are imported from US and everything smells great. Tea Verandah smells sweet and savourish. It relaxed and calmed my mind.

My boyfriend planned our
anniversary dinner at Franco, 1 Utama . Franco is located at Ground Floor, 1
Utama Shopping Centre (Old Wing). They serves fusion of Japanese and western
cuisine. We were welcomed by the staff at the entrance before seating us on our
preferred table. The ambiance of the restaurant was simple yet comfortable.
Couple of people occupied the cafe when we arrived around 8pm but it started
filling up quickly after that. They have both indoor and outdoor seating area
for the customer. We ordered Minestrone Soup, Chocolate Soufflé, Riz Au Curry
and Franco's Spaghetti Yumeina. Hearty Classic Vegetable Soup is cooked with goodness of celery chunks, potatoes and carrots in savoury and rich soup. Bread was toasted perfectly with cheese on the top.Riz Au Curry was rich, cheesy and definitely a guilty pleasure. Bed of rice with Japanese curry and melted cheese on the top with poached eggs and 2 sausages. Every spoon was delightful.Happy Anniversary Baby!! Franco's Spaghetti Yumeina is simply delicious, big portion and the poached egg adds an additional creamy texture to the spaghetti. I think it is overpriced, it only have few meat slices. Chocolate Soufflé is soft and fluffy.It was perfect anniversary for us. The foods are tasty but some of
the foods are overpriced especially Chocolate Soufflé and Franco's Spaghetti
Yumeina. Good service and the foods were served fast.

Tips: You have to settle your bill at the counter.

We went Patty & Pie for Deepavali dinner as it is
recommended by my friend. Patty & Pie is located at Aman Suria (Opposite
Shunka Japanese Restaurant). The cafe serves Wooden Fired Pizza, Gourmet Burger
and limited beverages. The cafe was crowded when we arrived around 8pm and even
filling up after that. They have both indoor and outdoor seating area for the
customer. The ambiance of the cafe was simple yet comfortable. We ordered Mac
& Cheese, Oishii and Cheese Burger. Fries are freshly prepared and not soggy. Delicious!! Toasted Bread topped with juicy & tender beef patty and melting cheese. It just melted in my mouth.

Cheese Burger @ RM 18Toasted Bread stuffed with crispy fried soft shell crab and Japanese infused sauce with a mix of salmon eggs. Yummylicious!!

Oishii @ RM 26 Toasted Bread topped with beef patty and cheesy Mac & cheese makes a mouth-watering combination. Perfect choice for Mac & Cheese lovers.

Mac & Cheese @ RM 22It was a perfect Deepavali celebration with my boyfriend and
sister. The foods are delicious and great service. The best thing about this
cafe is their sauce. Instead of using same sauce for all their burgers, they
use different type of sauce for different type of burgers that combines
perfectly well. I will sure drop by again for their burger and would give a try
to their pizza as almost every table ordered at least 1 pizza for sharing and I
guess it must be good. Thanks to my friend for this good recommendation.

We went
Paradigm Mall for shopping and when we know Fa-Ying got 50% form off-peak we
decided to have dinner there and my sister was very happy about it (She is a
big fan of Thai food and she almost eat Thai Food once a week). Fa-Ying by Rama
V is located at Ground Floor, Paradigm Mall. The restaurant serves a fusion of
Thai and western cuisine. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely with a good
wooden craving on the wall that remind of my Thailand Trip. They have indoor
and outdoor seating area. I wanted to sit indoor for more privacy and also
there was a concert going on that day which was quite noisy. I ordered Tom Yum
Seafood In Hot Plate, Green Curry Chicken, Stir Fried Minced Chicken & Hot
Basil (Phad Kra Pao Kai), Mango Sticky Rice and Jasmine Rice. Tom Yum Seafood In Hot Pot was super delicious. Wake up your taste buds with these hot & spicy Tom Yum Seafood. Heaven for spicy lovers. Non spicy lovers, please request for less spicy.

Tom Yum Seafood In Hot Pot @ RM 39 Stir Fried Minced Chicken & Hot Basil was tasty. My sister’s favourite dish.

Stir Fried Minced Chicken & Hot Basil (Phad Kra Pao Kai) @ RM 22 Green Curry was simply delicious. It has rich and creamy flavour.

Green Curry Chicken @ RM 22 Jasmine Rice @ RM 3Mango sticky rice was yummy. Sweet and saltiness of the coconut rice and soft, juicy mango are a winning combination. The best I ever tasted.

Mango Sticky Rice @ RM 15It was perfect dinner for us. Foods are super delicious, lovely
environment and friendly service. Sure drop by again to try their western
foods.
