I have always been a fan of Vietnamese food, as I had alot nice one when I was at oversea. Well, still nothing to be compared. When this shop open few years back, I have heard much good feedback from my ex colleague when they went to dine there with clients. One of the set back was, its a bit pricey to dine there then timing was right a while ago as they were doing promo and decided to stop by with a group of friends.

Sao Nam is easily located at LG of Empire Shopping Mall.

For a Vietnamese Food, they really offer quite a unique range of food compare to any other restaurant that I have been too.

Of course when you are in this shop, Prawn Spring Roll (6pcs) @ RM 18 its pretty classic item to order or one of the dish that represent Vietnamese food. Roll up pretty well with the sauce to dip along and prawn is fresh~

sao nam (9)

I am not sure I put this name on the correct picture or not as Banana Flower & Chicken @ RM 20 its one of a good appetizer to start off with. It was gone within seconds as it has a bit of sourish, and sweet end. Just perfect.

I read many review, this is one of a dish that highly recommended by many people and same goes to me. Mangosteen & Prawn Salad @ RM 32 is a very unique salad that I have come across, they used Mangosteen to pair it as we thought it was weird at first then, the flavour is sour with their special sauce make it very good to go along with the prawn.

Vietnamese Pancake @ RM 26

When this is serve, it looks and smells good but taste differently. Part of it is with the dressing that they have in there. I do not really like it but some of my friends love it.

Rice Rolls Lotus Leaf (6pcs) @ RM 21

If you are having rice and Lamb Curry @ Rm 34 is a must order. Thick in curry gravy with lamb cubes are cook till soft. A bit sweet and spicy and those of you do not like the taste of lamb do not order this. Its quite strong even you can smell it, according to my friend.

sao nam (17)

Chicken Lemongrass @ RM 20 is another dish that you can consider even ordering. The soup that cook along is fragrant with mild lemongrass taste that I would rate it like Steam Chinese Wine chicken but this is Vietnamese version.

Imperial Lotus Leaf Rice @ RM 18

sao nam (21)

Sweet Potato Leaves @ RM 12

sao nam (22)

Friend Tofu @ RM 22

In Vietnamaese Food, of course we must try out their Hue Beef Noodle Soup @ RM 18, soup is sweet with thin noodle and few beef slices to go along. Pretty good though.

No doubht that this place do provide nice Vietnamese Food, and if you are willing to pay a bit more, you can even consider this place for dining.

To me, if I have nothing much I would not have been over to Subang Empire, as this new classy mall which is one of the upper class mall in Subang had attracted many restaurants to open in here and we are certainly spoilt with choices. One of the new discovery on the outlets here are The Vanilla Place which is located on the 1st floor of the mall that a floor below the giant slide.

[close down since 2014]

vanilla (1)

Most of us would thought that The Vanilla place is a cafe that suitable to come here perfect for their breakfast or tea beacuse of their decoration that shows more like it. When we look thru on the menu, we were quite suprise that they served some Italian and homemade pie. Price seems very reasonable for this cafe to be in this mall.

vanilla (2)

Love their decorations more like kids english style that decorate with hand paintings on the wall. . .

Then went to check out their fridge, and we were impress with the range they have for their desert, cakes, pie and of course their colourful Macaroons as become I came here, I read reviews saying they served one of the best, just cant wait to put the smaller ones into my mouth.

vanilla (8)

Assorted Bread with Dips, I took one of the toast bread then spread with both of the spreads, one is hummus and the other one on top of it, till I finish the whole plate without realising it. The hummus is super good… try it out .. .  RM 9.80

This is one of their most valuable set to order which I would Recommend to try out their range of desert in a mini size yet comes with a pot of tea..can share share with your friends while having nice conversation…

vanilla (12)

It might look wattery as Onion Soup are rich in ingredient @ RM 9.80

vanilla (13)

The owner is never stingy on ingredient and can you see how thick of ingredient had been added into the Mushroom Soup @ Rm9.80 as it just taste good and do add in some papper if you love the taste of it.

vanilla (16)

Seafood Aglio Olio 

vanilla (17)

Fisherman Pie – served with mashed potato and garden greens @ RM15.80

vanilla (19)

Poach Salmon Fillet with Saffron Sauce served with 2 huge chunk of salmon that makes our eyes turn big with just RM25.80.

Chicken Rendang to eat along with the rice are perfect companion as it filled with taste of santan and panda leaves cook along and the rendang chicken meat is very soft with not so spicy gravy. RM15.80

vanilla (22)

Beef Stew to dip along with the toast bread and eat bites of the soft stew is good. . . RM18.80

vanilla (25)

Tiramisu that is served very homey style that at the rock bottom is the strong espresso taste, then moving up is the soft bread and moving up is the mascarpone cheeze. Use the long spoon dip till rock bottom and pull it up again to enjoy the taste of it. You will love it. RM11.80

vanilla (26)

Panna Cota, a smooth texture base and really good. .

By the end of the meal, Jac decided to ta pau back the Macarons and see how big it is?

The Green Hornet 3D Movie Review

green_hornet_ver2

Genre: Action/ Comedy/ Crime

The movie is about a Britt Reid inherit his fathers empire of newspaper after the death of him and team up with our asian super star Kato (Jay Chou) which is his fathers assistant. Both of them team up to this masked fighting crime.

I was quite suprise that the movie had turn out above my expectation, and as usual the movie charater Jay Chou always portray is ‘Yeng’ but he now as a Hollywood superstar, the movie is filled with action packed and its was from a comic. So do be aware some of the effect are like comic like.

Quite a nice movie to catch for during Chinese New Year. . .if you are looking for action packed movie. It is not
recommended to watch the movie in 3D as I felt it is quite a waste of money with so less effect.

Overall ratings 7.5/10,action packed~~

Genre: Science-Fiction/Action/Adventure

I was never a Star Trek fans all the while but heard a lot of good review on that movie. So planning to watch that movie and guess what. After 6 weeks into the market, and I still cant find a ticket starting from Monday till Friday. I thought it was an old movie and just thought of getting it there on the spot. To my surprise it was full. Was looking forward from it till Saturday, to buy the night show, I purchase online at 3.30 pm and the seats available was only the front 2 rows. So what the heck, just buy lah~

It was a show that, Nero trying to revenge on the empire had promise to save but then his planet got destroy and one of the guy Spock from future came talk to the person with James T.Kirk that would change the fleet of USS Enterprise and makes its mark in the history.

In the end I still think not my type of movie to watch event though a lot of ppl saying it’s a great movie even friends from Indonesia said that but from my personal view, I think its overrated.

Can either watch it during movie day or just grab a dvd also can.
