Rumah Ku @ Jalan University, PJ

7 Comments

I have been using this road so often for the past 2 years since I work around the area, and pass thru this place countless time, that one of the reason it caught my attention was a mini signage outside the house and got to know its actually a restaurant not a house. Told my colleague many times about this place yet still manage to drop by until recently Eric and Jennifer bring me here. 😀 – Rumah Ku Gallery and Cafe

Update: Jan 2016) HAd move to Jaya One

RumahKu (1)

Rumahku is a humble place that tug along busy street of Jalan University ( directly opp the hospital) with a single story build up bungalow converted to restaurant and you will be amaze of the concept when you walk in.

RumahKu (2)

The owner design the dining place that provides homey ambiance by reflecting 3 ethnic races of our country in each room.

RumahKu (3)

Decoration of the restaurant is rather simple but the feeling to be in here is just unique.

RumahKu (4)

RumahKu (5)

Upon looking at the menu, surprise by the price at first and followed by serving variety of food from local to western.

RumahKu (6)

RumahKu (7)

I started with a cup of hot coffee. as roasted fresh daily, will be robust in flavour and perfect for early morning with my half boil egg and toast.:D . For coffee lover this is one of my recommendation! Mango Lassi, that taste of smoothness.Then one of my favourite in the afternoon is the Ginger Lemon Grass Tea, definitely a thirst quench drink  this hot afternoon. Just refreshing. Recommended!

RumahKu (8)

Tuna Cutlet, at first I thought it was something simple from the snacks that we can obtain in ramadan market or pasar malam and it definitely proof me wrong that it is filled with Tuna. .

RumahKu (10)

Fried to perfection in golden yellow brown and filled with solid ingredients yet it is soft from inside crispy from outside. As the taste of curry powder is mild that did not over power the taste of tuna and can be addictive if you have more

RumahKu (9)

Yam Basket Chicken, is a dish from Chinese menu and they manage to cook it exactly Chinese style. Yam is fried to crips as it is that yam is soft in the inside and filled up with pan fried vegetable which is flavourful.

RumahKu (11)

Curry Laksa that serve in fiery red that might let you think its spicy and do not let the colour deceive you. Filled with coconut base cream curry and we just love the taste of it. Thick in soup flavour and spicy level is just nice to our liking. something you should look  out for as it serve along with generous amount of ingredient.

RumahKu (12)

I always thought that Green Curry Chicken would end up being Thai style, as the chef improvise it to their version. Cook the curry till dry and well coated onto the chicken and serve along. Food presentation that attracts us on the first impression.

RumahKu (13)

I always need to have my meal with a plate of vegetable as Mixed sauté vegetables is fried along that mantain the freshness of the vegetable and crips of lotus root.

RumahKu (14)

 As we are pretty full by this point and Indonesian style Claypot prawn was serve upon. Aroma of the curry flavour trails onto the air makes us cant wait to take a sip of the curry. The taste of the curry is superb, a bit mild spicy that is not too thick, that will goes very well with a bowl of rice and fresh prawn that cook along is medium size. I just drink the curry like soup. Love it~

RumahKu (15)

Rumah Ku Spiced Honeyed Salmon is a bit more towards local western style that serve along with fried rice. Fried rice is aromatic, as salmon is well marinated with honey and mild spices flavour at your tongue is just nice. – Recommended!

RumahKu (16)

If you opt for more local flavour then Sambal Chicken would be your choice. Chicken is being grill and cook along with curry to ensure its coated well onto the chicken. Well marinated.

I am totally impress on this restaurant that serve fine and delicious food and I have been returning to this restaurant couple of times. I must say that this is one of the hidden gem in PJ area that serve good HALAL food. Since now its Ramadan month, definately one of the place to Buka Puasa. Recommended restaurant. According to some of the bloggers, some of them mention that their Brickfields outlet taste better. Well, its up to you to try it out.

Prince Court Medical Center @

No Comments

None of us can ever imagine that we received such a unique invites. . . No matter who you are, your reaction would be like us, either your jaw drop, scratch ur head with lots of question mark, or just stun for a few seconds to double confirm on the invites that we got. We could not believe ourself too, that we actually got invited to do a review in a 5 stay hospital which is Prince Court Medical Center which hidden one fantastic restaurant, Food Gelleria.

As for us, when we reach, we do not really know what is prepared for us, as our minset already got stuck Hospital + restaurant = patient food / healthy food. . . but to our suprise, it proves all of us wrong.

Food Galleria

For me, I would really rate it as a hidden gem which is situated directly a level under the lobby provide with a big special place.

Food Galleria (2)

A simple setting was placed all over the restaurant to suit well lit up place.

Food Galleria (3)

A cup that happens 4 years once had attracted every one from near and far to get together to watch this fantastic event yet most of the restaurant are taking this opportunity to promote their special menu for the season. . .

Food Galleria (4)

Food Galleria (5)

Food Galleria (15)

Suprise us not, that this restaurant is not about serving patient food that gives misconception to alot of us, but this pack of pills are used as decorations that are filled with salt, pepper, curry powder and others.

Food Galleria (16)

If you are a patient in this hospital, we were shown by the management how they prepare food for them, with many catagories and depends the dietitian prepare for you, and you can choose ala carte form to order your food, as I would say, being pampered while sick.

Food Galleria (17)

Let’s get back to our normal menu and a special menu been created out specially for this big event, World Cup as most of the food creation are according to the countries name. One great thing about this restaurant is they change their menu every 3 months that doesnt let the customer eat the same thing again and again, what we eat now, definately will not get to eat anymore or in another words is limited edition menu. This menu will expire after the World Cup.

Nyoya Colours @ Mid Valley

No Comments
Been coming to Mid Valley couple of times recently, but not during the past weekend as I drove pass by the amount of traffic into Mid Valley is ‘SIAU’.. I guess this is due to a lot of people now doing last minute Chinese New Year shopping already.

As usual, its always a headache for me to think of a place to eat in MV not till me and my friend was walking around and scouted this place as I remember I ta pau the nyonya kuih before which is not bad. Since most of the time I walk pass by its always pack with people and decided to give it a try.

Nyonya1

Nyonya1 (2)

They hae a fix menu on the ala cart range yet the choices of Nyonya kuih are quite alot.

Nyonya1 (3)

The day when I went there was like a dead place cuz it was very early which is around 6pm.

Nyonya1 (4)

If you do come across of cooking a meal at home, all you need to do is to grab one of this pre pack curry sauce to buy back add in some water, boil and cook it and you are ready to makan~

Nyonya1 (5)

I just love my drink ‘Sour plum with asam’ as sure taste like pure blend of the sour plum and the asam is to make the drink even more sour till my jaw bone there so numb. Just love this drink as that day was quite hot and it’s a thirst quencher for me.

Nyonya1 (6)

Do not know what to choose in the limited menu offered by them , so I opted one of my favourite in list to give it a try, ‘Yellow Curry Laksa’ which sounds unique but with the name on top it did not disappoint me, with the vermicelli flooded with the thick laksa soup and added on with the mint leaf just pulls out the taste and with the minimal chili I top onto, turns out to be quite spicy yet satisfying. RM8.90

Nyonya1 (7)

Then my friend order ‘Nasi Lemak Rendang Chicken’. When it was serve, the first part of nasi lemak already pass the test, with some coconut smell is there when it was serve. The rending curry turns out to be not bad too. Mild spicy level, a bit thick curry gravy yet not the type of using curry powder that cook the chicken meat soak the flavor in. RM8.90

Nyonya1 (8)

Nyonya1 (9)

The kuih turns out to be not bad but I find it slightly over price maybe its because under MV but no complain with the taste of it. RM0.90-RM3

Overall, its not a bad place to dine in at with the price tag on the food. Do not mind for a revisit.

Sushi Zanmai @ The Gardens

No Comments
Revisit Sushi Zenmai again. Was with my friend that she thought of wanted to go on diet, then I mention Japanese food as good for girls on diet, less oil. Lol~ So went there and the best part was did not need to Que up as I was there around 3.30pm on weekdays..Lol~
This is what my friend ordered ‘Kani Avocado Salad’. To me when I saw it I was like ‘yeeewwwww avocado, hate it!!! so soft as in it can just imagine my friend vomiting the things out from their mouth~ yucks!!!’ but do not underestimate this, with the special don know what dressing down on the salad, you will just race to the finish as 1 bowl of dressing not enough, asked for another 1. RM 12.80 for the lovely salad
Me on my diet too, so decided to order ‘Curry Udon Chicken’. Wow, this is the first time I had a nice curry chicken udon, the feeling is just like what I ate back in those days when I was in melb at one of the lunch box restaurant at Swanston Street nearby RMIT. The gravy is nice, a bit thick, sweet and curry powder taste. Some ppl might not like it but to mee its very nice. RM10.80 for this udon.
This 2 are my favourite’s which is ‘Salmon Mentai‘ and ‘Aburi Hotate‘. Once you try you will fall in love with it. RM 6 each.
Overall, still recommended this restaurant as the service is prompt and good food but I still think that the 1 in One-U taste better.

BBC Set Lunch

No Comments

We have seen the poster for quite sometime already. Then 6 of us decided to have lunch over there yesterday since its only RM 10. It includes a soup, main dish, fruits and a drink. Not many choice they have but then we are their 1st customer of the day.

The soup that they serve is like what I rate it ‘Ajinomoto’ Soup. It has lil cabbage, tomato pieces. Taste watery.
The best food among the rest would be this spaghetti. Taste like Olio spaghetti. Has strong aroma of tomato and lil of basil flavour. The garlic bread is nice, nicely baked.
The Rafflesia Chicken Curry, it taste not bad, the chicken is tender and curry is welled cook, can taste its not chicken curry powder type. Just that if it is serve hot instead warm, it would be nice. Wish they can reheat the food. hehe
This is Borneo Beef Stew, sounds nice, I have no idea how it taste cuz I cant take beef. They said its so so only.

When paying the bill, it makes us frustrated abit as it was written on the banner and the menu saying RM 10 nett, so everyone of us already got our RM 10 out and when the bill came it included 5% service tax. WTF..have to prepare some coins. If it stated RM 10 nett, they should already include the 5% tax. Why separate? Can’t just they round it up. Aiii…..
