This was my very first experience with The Manhattan Fish Market at Sunway Pyramid together with Don, and we have only been to this particular outlet in my entire life, for twice.The soup of the day was Mushroom Soup. It tasted like an Instant Mushroom Soup and so, there's nothing much to describe about it.I couldn't quite remember its name, unfortunately. It was a mixture of Sprite, lime and peppermint. Try it on your own if you're interested, and willing to pay RM7.90 per cup. I thought it was way overpriced.We ordered Grilled Gala Platter that was meant for two at RM46.90. The plate was filled with plenty of seafood, including fried fish, fried oyster, fried calamari, thick-cut fries, and fried prawns on a bed of garlic rice. This was so popular that I could literally spot everyone ordering the same thing. However, I thought it was extremely filling even though it was indeed meant for two.The waiter was demonstrating on how he "cooked" the prawns instantly, but they tasted like overcooked prawns instead, to be honest. :S The overall dish was still great though.

It may not be a place where I would visit often, yet it would be a great backup if I couldn't decide on a place for a proper meal.

Back in the days, Secret Recipe was a high-end cafe generally used for birthday celebrations, gatherings, anniversaries, and any other special occasions teenagers will often remember. Time flies. It's been more than three years since I last visited this particular outlet at Mutiara Complex, Jalan Ipoh, together with Don.Iced Cappuccino served at this outlet wasn't something anyone of you would ever prefer. It was tasteless, despite adding all the syrup provided by the staff.His Ice Blended Mocha Espresso didn't taste as bad as my Iced Cappuccino, but it was just pretty ordinary compared to a cup of coffee you could always find elsewhere.Looking at this photo always makes me drool. It was my Prawn Macaroni with Cheese, cooked together with generous amount of mushrooms and chewy prawns, slightly more than enough for my stomach. Sooo filling, sooo creamy, and sooo good!Besides, I have always loved their Chicken Cordon Bleu, rolled together with ham and tender chicken meat, with cheese flowing out as you cut it through. Until today, although I have not stepped into any Secret Recipe outlets for years, I am still yet to find a restaurant that could make their Chicken Cordon Bleu in such a similar way.

Give it a try!

It seemed to me and Don that having a quick brunch at Food Republic, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur would be a better move and more hassle-free while one is in a rush. Since we were half an hour earlier before an appointment, we decided to give it a try.Don had his Dried Chilli Chicken Rice from Little Wok at RM7.90, and he thought it was fine. He was also surprised to taste something similar at a place like this. However, I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders as a sign of "Okay lah!" because personally, I honestly still preferred those prepared by the Chinese restaurants near my house or my place in Subang Jaya. They are more traditionally cooked, perhaps?

By the way, you may opt for beef instead of chicken, depending on your own preference.

It was a sudden decision to dine in T-Bowl Concept Restaurant once we got to know that one of the outlets is just located in Sunway Pyramid when we were looking through a directory to look for a place for dinner before the movie started.Upon arrival, we were brought into the restaurant by two friendly yet sometimes annoying waiters to choose our preferred seats. We ended up sitting on toilet bowls. Seats for two persons were all with toilet bowls only. Honestly, I was so shy to sit on the toilet bowl, like seriously, even though most of the people in the restaurant were as well sitting on their toilet bowls. Whenever the children went into the restaurant, they only chose to sit on toilet bowls wtf.They placed our rice into the toilet bowls! I like how cute the mini toilet bowls were but the white bowl inside just wouldn't stop moving, turning, and shaking when I was eating. Try to ask someone to move, turn and shake your bowl when you eat someday and see how annoying it could be then.Last but not least, here comes the main character of the dinner – Chocolate Vanilla Delight. The taste was a little bit different compared to those that we usually eat in McDonald’s or somewhere else but I personally like the waffle underneath. Besides, I like the cereals beside the ice-cream even though it can be found everywhere.

Do you think it's interesting to dine in this restaurant for at least once? Never try, never know!

A day before I departed to Genting Highlands with Don for a short getaway, we went all the way to Sunway Pyramid to hunt films for my camera that is yet to be shown to everyone. As soon as we arrived at the mall, I remember telling Don that I will diet to lose weight after consuming huge amount of food within three months. However, half way through shopping, we stopped at Cornet for an ice-cream each. There goes my words said previously. Hah!Apparently, that's how the process goes. Pick your most preferred flavor, choose between agepan and cup, pay for your dessert, and that's it. For your information, agepan is literally bun shaped like a cone, and deep fried with boiling oil upon ordering to form a crispy outer layer for better taste between hot and cold. I didn't like the idea though, because our agepan had rather strange taste, probably due to the oil used repeatedly.

Still, I can't deny the fact that serving an ice-cream in such a way helps to provide convenience to the customers, allowing them to eat while they walk around the mall.You're of course allowed to try the different flavors of ice-cream they have to offer. I chose Espresso and Don selected his favorite Coconut. Personally, the Espresso tasted just like any other coffee-based ice-cream that was a little too sweet for my liking. With such quality, it could have cost so much lesser than the amount we paid. Conversely, the Coconut was awesome, to the extent that I nearly wanted to throw mine into the dustbin and snatch his away.

If I were to visit the same place again, which is quite unlikely that I ever would, I am sure I will not opt for agepan anymore. It tasted weird, and it’s extremely oily. It's a bread or a bun that didn't taste like one. Would I ever go for their ice-cream again? Hm, let's see.
