Tasty Delicious is a restaurant serving mainly Indian cuisine and western food. The interior is air-conditioned though you can feel a little grease in the air because the pathway to the kitchen goes directly into the dining area and probably the ventilation isn’t so great in a confined area. Service is commendable with the waiters when taking orders but the wait between ordering and receiving meals is a bit painful (depending on what you order). I ordered the Banana Leaf Rice which was the fastest meal.

Overall, I must say the portions are considerably smaller than what you’d normally see in Bangsar’s Nirvana and Devi’s. But this restaurant makes up for it in quality. The reason why Banana Leaf serves a little slower than usual is because the kitchen cooks to order. All the food I get come hot (still with the steam) and crispy (especially the bitter gourd!). When ordering this, I am allowed to ask for extra one time after they fill my banana leaf with the meal. The components of the banana leaf are relatively the same as what we’re used to. Red crispy fried bitter gourde, potato dahl, sweet and spicy mango chutney, poppadum, mixed fried green vegetables and beans. I asked for dahl and chicken curry to go on my rice out of the additional options of fish curry that they had. You also can have the option to add meat for an extra cost.

Towards the end of the meal, they gave us a cup of rassam and a traditional yoghurt drink. I think these are really up to a person’s taste. The rassam I had here had more herbs and spices inside making it stronger than the one I’ve tried in Nirvana. The yoghurt drink was new to me. It isn’t the sweet kind packed with sugar that we’d find in a supermarket. It’s slightly sour and watery. These drinks are meant help with digestion after a heavy meal.

Overall, I would come back tothis place. Price-wise the meal costs about less than RM10 and the rest of the menu goes up to RM50-60 and under. So it’s a pretty decent place with lots of choices to choose from.

Today I had dinner at Estillo's in Publika. Looked forward to eating outside after the rain gave us great weather to enjoy outside. Estillo's wasn't too packed and it was easy to find a place. It's a little harder to get the waiter's attention because they hang around the middle or inside the restaurant. But other than that, they were very cheerful and pleasant. 

I had the Signature House Guacamole Salad with Grilled Chicken (RM26) to start with. The portion was standard bordering small. It was quite enjoyable going through the layers. At the base, there was guacamole mixed with red onions as the salad's foundation. Then, layer by layer, there were sliced baby tomatoes, grated hard boiled eggs, rocket salads. Finally, the aubergine crisps were on top with some light dressing around it. Overall, this tasted really good with just enough onions for that kick in the guacamole. The grilled chicken was cooked well and was a great compliment to the guacomole. This is the first time I've seen a guacomole as the base of a meal and it's a great find!

Next, I had the Paella Pan Pizza (RM26) with a marinara base topped with squid, prawns and chilli flakes. It was, really, really good and hearty. At each bite of this rustic pizza, I could taste the mix of seafood. Almost like the oil that cooked the squid and prawns were mixed in together with the marinara for that extra zing. The pizza dough looks thick on the top but was actually nice and thin at the bottom. It came pretty crispy with the first few bites. I guess the only thing I didn't see much of was the chilli flakes. It didn't really taste spicy either. But it's alright 'cos the portion of seafood and the flavors of the meal made up from it!
Overall, this was a great meal to share with a friend or loved one. Just enough, for two people to eat at night. 

 

It was just around happy hour and just before dinner time. I was looking for something extra light to hold me through all the way through dinner. I had a drink at Brotzeit and was happy to find a delicious meal I’d like to introduce the Lachstatar (Salmon Tartar). This is usually an appetizer but since I had it for myself, it really was just right for a small meal. The tartar was made out of generous chunks of fresh smoked salmon, mixed with cream cheese and chives. The cream cheese wasn’t too heavy and there was even amounts of cream and protein on this meal. The salmon tartar was decorated with greens and sliced olives. This meal wouldn’t be complete with a traditional serving of German Bread. The bread was pretty interesting as it was very heavy and thick showing that it had a lot of character in it. But it was understated enough that it was a great serving platter for the main hero, the salmon tartar. Although the meal was a little pricey for just an appetizer, it was still a great meal to be had. 

At around 5pm, the restaurant had a few tables occupied and was quite cool with the air conditioning even though the bar was not located inside the mall. It’s hardwood tables and benches were played a good part in keeping to the German heritage of jovial parties in a bar. The staff was quite helpful and were very nice if you ask for suggestions if you’re here for the first time.

I’m here again for another lunch set! I had the Chicken Katsu Lunch Set this time and it was really good. The only strange thing is that this is the second time that the chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) came last and my table only had 5 people compared to 18 previously. But at least it was fresh I guess. The lunch sets here are from the same range as the dinner menu. Only difference is that each meal is priced lower by about RM3 or more.
I started with my appetizer were some potato-like radish marinated in miso again. It was a good starter and palette cleanser for the rest of the meal. The miso soup was pretty good as it had a lot of wakame (Japanese seaweed) and mushrooms inside. My Chicken Katsu was pretty big and needless to say, I couldn’t finish it. The breading was really tasty with lots of flavour from the dashi. The egg that was cooked was mixed well and was big enough to cover the chicken which is my favorite part of the meal! Overall, the chicken was really tender throughout the meal and didn’t dry out. By the time my Chawanmushi came at the near end of my meal, I was only able to finish the half of it. So, it’s a pretty big meal overall. I finished off my meal with papayas and watermelons served with my set.

I arrived with a big group of 18-people that day for a colleague's birthday. The restaurant seemed very new and the staff was very welcoming. They were quite attentive to a large group of us and were very good at managing all of our needs. The private room they had put us in was very comfortable and cosy with a lovely view for the afternoon.

I ordered from the lunch set menu: Sashimi to Yakizakana Zen (Sashimi and Grilled Fish Set). When the food arrived, my friends and I were very impressed with the presentation. The only thing I forgot to ask about was the Garlic Rice that came with it because it usually only comes with White Rice. Maybe it’s because my meal arrived really late compared to the others in my big party.
I started with my appetizers, marinated root vegetables (daikon and carrots) marinated in miso. The appetizer was cooked really well because it got broken down really easily with my chopsticks. The sashimi was really fresh with three types to choose from: salmon, maguro and white fish. Sometimes you can reaIly tell when the sashimi is old or not well taken care off by its taste, texture and look. But here, it looks like they take care of their raw foods pretty well. With this meal, I always prefer the grilled fish with salt compared to being glazed with teriyaki because it isn’t so overwhelming. The fish was still warm with the outer layer still hot and crispy from the charcoal grill. The fish this chain chooses always has minimal bones to deal with. The garlic rice wasn’t warm enough and bit heavy for me. Next time, I’ll keep to having white rice for this set. The chawanmushi is really silky and fresh as it was piping hot when it arrived. We all had our chawanmushi arrive after a while (mid-way through our meal). Usually it arrives as an appetizer but maybe because we were a large group that they had to do it that way.
Overall, it was a good meal. Despite the delay in service and a late chawanmushi, the experience was excellent and cosy in this restaurant.
