Pommes Frites Bistro at Asian Avenue, Sunway Pyramid, has been one of our favorite places for an enjoyable and affordable Western meal, offering wide selection of spaghetti, pastas, and even freshly cut fries cooked in different styles. Honestly, we tend to experience hard times deciding on the most preferred choice from the menu during each of our visits. This particular time, however, was slightly different from the others. I was too full from my late lunch, so I couldn't help but to opt for a lighter meal, which was in fact not entirely light.I had my Regular Ultimate Clams cooked with mushrooms, shallots, garlic, parsley, and butter, served together with Belgian Fries with Mayo. I found the clams to be quite okay, although incomparable with those served at the seafood restaurants, except that they were not totally cooked. Soup wise, it could be so much closer to getting a "thumbs up" if the amount of salt added were to be reduced.

Pommes Frites Bistro is actually famous for its fries, and they are claimed to be freshly cut. Their Belgian Fries was definitely good in terms of taste and smell. My only advice for my fellow readers is to be aware of the type of sauce you order. I had Belgian Fries with Cheddar Cheese during my very first visit with Don, and I wasn't very happy with the outcome. It wasn't even appetizing at all, to be very frank.Don had Spaghetti Carbonara with Fried Chicken, if I'm not mistaken. I would usually prefer my spaghetti to be cooked with aglio olio, but here at Pommes Frites Bistro, regardless of its exaggerated portion, I loved their milky carbonara. Trust me, you can never say no to that!

In case you're curious about the term, "exaggerated portion", their portions for spaghetti are always huge enough to get your tummy stuffed to a maximum level. I'm serious!

So, would you consider coming? I hope it's a yes!

Italiannies is a place I would rarely consider to go, unless I crave strongly for their Tiramisu, or during special occasions. This time, it was a birthday celebration for Don. We were both on a limited budget during our visit, so we preferred to go for their promotion. Each of us ordered a set meal that came with an appetizer and a main meal.Two different types of bread served together with olive oil and vinegar was complimentary, if I'm not mistaken. I had the bread alone without dipping into any of those as usual. It was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. So satisfying!My Italian Clams Soup. This was my appetizer. It tasted more like a bowl of tomato soup. The clams were so small and it was pretty obvious that they were not fresh at all.Toasted Bruschetta. This was his appetizer but I didn't taste any because I didn't like tomatoes then.His Parmesan Crusted Fish. It was deep fried fish fillet served over red onion strings with white capers sauce. The fish tasted normal but I personally think the onions were delicious.My Risotto with Asparagus and Chicken. It may look good, but honestly, it was the worst choice I had ever made. I guess it was probably due to my own taste bud. Additionally, it was too oily and creamy to the extent that I nearly puked while eating. Only the chicken managed to satisfy me.

Also, the risotto seemed powdery but I'm not sure if it's normal or it's the chef's problem.Here comes the highlight of the day!

We added one Tiramisu into our order despite the bloated stomach. If you are a cake lover, you should definitely give it a try. The portion was huge too. As soon as I put a mouthful of the cake into my mouth, it melted immediately. It was extremely juicy because of the liqueur and espresso in it. Yummmmmmm!

I will be sure to return to any of its outlets again, for more Tiramisu!

If you have heard of Madam Kwan's, you might as well have known about what it was mainly famous for, services and foods. At least to my mind, they served truly Malaysian cuisine with very efficient services. It was my second time dining in the same restaurant ever since the last day of July 2010, and it is located in Midvalley Megamall.Some people might say that this is the best Nasi Lemak in town; yes it was, considering where Midvalley Megamall is located at but if you're to say it is the best Nasi Lemak ever, personally, I think the best one goes to Village Park Restaurant at Damansara Utama.

As for the one above, there're actually two types of Nasi Lemak stated in the menu and I nearly ordered the wrong one. One was way simpler and cheaper which I guess it didn't consist of chicken but the one we ordered was the more expensive Nasi Lemak which as you can see, there're chicken rendang, sambal, some spicy chicken floss, half of a boiled egg, and two pieces of cucumber. Two plates of Nasi Lemak were served within 5 to 10 minutes right after we placed our orders.Apart from Village Park Restaurant that I mentioned previously, I agreed that Madam Kwan's also served one of the very few best Teh Tarik I have ever tried. Yummm!

I was totally amazed by the fact that iKar Restaurant was once published on the newspaper, which the page was specially laminated and stuck nicely by the glass door at this particular brunch where I have been visiting repeatedly. It's my love for fish head noodles that brought me to this restaurant, and iKar Restaurant is the only place that serves the best fish head noodles I have ever eaten in my life so far.Nonetheless, specializing in fish head noodles doesn't make their drinks significantly good. In actual fact, Don and I ordered a cup of drink merely to quench our thirst. Get it?

To be specific, it's a cup of Sugarcane Juice that tasted like some syrup.As usual, with the number of flavors available on the menu, I was always in a hopeless tangle. I have always wanted to try some new flavors, yet I could hardly let go of my strong craving for my favorite Cheese Creamy Soup although oftentimes, my stomach would be pretty plump after meal. It's too heavenly delicious!

According to their website, the high content of calcium in cheese helps to strengthen bones and teeth, and prevent osteoporosis. It is also rich in Vitamin B, which is good for maintaining healthy and supple skin. High fat and proteins in cheese can help to gain weight.Don had their Sweet Corn Creamy Soup, which was one of their new flavors introduced quite a while ago, other than Yam with Beet Root Soup, Tomato Soup, and Spicy Hot and Sour Soup. My first experience with Sweet Corn Creamy Soup was not really pleasant. It was almost tasteless. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the chef, or they have improved, Don's was really yummy with strong corn fragrance.

Other than the wide variety of soup flavors offered, another best thing about iKar Restaurant is that you can pick some of the main ingredients from the lists given. Don and I opted for thick noodles, and we would never love to get our dories fried for its original juiciness. Undeniably, iKar Restaurant serves all of my favorite in a huge bowl whenever I crave them all!

Pork Lovers Aglio Olio. It was a big portion of spaghetti with roasted pork (literally roasted in Chinese style), honey ham, smoked bacon, and a huge meatball, tossed together in garlic and olive oil. Personally, it tasted good, but could have been much better. Serving such roasted pork in western style seemed weird for me. Still, I would really love to return again someday to try out the other types of spaghetti!

By the way, be sure to be there earlier because it's always crowded.
