The Moon Bar @ Damansara Heights

18/03/2013 2 Comments

There is 2 row of shop houses sitting right in the middle of the whole neighbourhood in Damansara Heights, you will be spoil for selections of what to dine in this area. Not only that, its an area also pretty well know for Happy Hours with a few bar is in this area. The Full Moon Bar is no exception from that too.

[No Longer In operation] – currently is Huckleberry

Operating about a year plus, it had start to gain popularity around the non muslim as this is one of a only very few outlets that serve Pork. With hot weather recently, its a great bonus to discover that they are serving set lunch now starting from RM12.90.

AS the night is young, we are serve with their signature Mojitos.

We get to sample some of their signature for the night that starting off witha platter of Spicy Fried Chicken Wing, Black Pepper Lamb Parcels, Fried Breaded Mozzarella and a skewer of Roast Pork Belly and Chargrilled Honey Lime Chicken.

If you do hang out at the outlet for beers, then Roast Pork Belly and Chargrilled Honey Lime Chicken will pair very well with it as the marination of both dish is very well done and cook to perfection, along with the chicken is fried till crips and aromatic.

Next we were told to challage on this dish with its excessive spiciness level is Butter Briyani Rice with Spicy Sri Lankan Tamarind Pork Belly and Mutton Varuval. When this plate is serve, the aroma of the curry and spices filled up our nose instantly. First few bites of the briyani rice is bursting with spices and flavours are awesome! Then after that, I am burst with excessive spiciness that just hit hard on my tongue. Love the taste of the spiciness, but not really a fan of cloves as they cook pretty much in it. If they tone it down, then would have been a perfect dish.

Both Pork Belly and Mutton are cook to perfection with the curry are well marinate and coated on the meat. Taste of Mutton is more outstanding than the pork.

As the days pass, the demand of Hokkien Mee for supper is pretty good. With consumption of beer into our belly, the version of Hokkien Mee is shower with alot of Chu Yau Cha (Pork Lard). If you find that the current serving is lack of it, you can just order extra Pork lard at RM 4. For a Bar to cook Hokkien Mee, I must say its pretty impressive!

Not only Hokkien Mee in Demand as their Bak Kut Teh is also another popular dish among many people who are looking for supper in the outlet.

Broth been cooked for hours to get the best taste of it, and do note that the taste of the soup here is not strong in herbs as customer here prefer mild version.

At the end of the meal, we were pamper with Cheng Yi (Fatboybakes) cakes. As always, his cakes never dissapoint us and always on top notch. If you do plan to order, can check out his website. fatboybakes.blogspot.com

If you are lazy to drive far and staying around the area, then Moon Bar might be one of your choice with add on bonus as on Friday nights. With veteran jazz pianist David Gomes and friends, known as the “David Gomes Trio”, will entertain all of you for the night.

St Patrick celebration been kick off and Moon Bar is also having Guinness promo till the end of the month.. Ladies Nights are on every Wednesday, Karaoke Nights on Thursdays, Quiz Nites and Special Events on Saturdays.

Red Sky Bar @ Central World, Bangkok

24/05/2012 2 Comments

Continuing on my last trip at Bangkok, the last night itself we wanted to visit some sky bar in the city itself as I have seen many bloggers went to many nice sky bar that available in Bangkok. Then told Goft about it and she mention to us that she will be bringing us to this Red Sky Bar which is located in Centara Grand Hotel in Central World.

As you head upon the bar you need to do a lift transfer as you need to head to the lobby floor then change lift to head up to level 55 whereby the RedSky Bar is. Love the hotel lobby as it feels so luxury to walk in and all of us were greeted by the friendly staff there.

Ding Ding, here we are upon reaching the highest floor of the hotel at level Fifty Five.

Welcome to Red Sky Bar, a bar which is located on the 3rd highest building in Thailand and from the 55th floor itself with 360 degree view accross Bangkok City.

Here are the details of the bar. .

The bar offer relaxing ambiance that filled with jazz band, a perfect interior whereby you can bring your love ones to this place for special occasions.

This would be their private function room covers with huge curtains that make it a total private space for you and your friends that totally no one can look thru it whereby the table will be facing with magnificent view of the city itself.

The careful consideration from the bar also offer a single seater area for people who just love being a long for a moment ..

The place are pretty pack for Friday night and many people came here just to chat or hang out.

The bar is serve full range of spirits, wines, champagnes, cocktails and beers along with happy hours between 5pm and 7 pm. Get to know that it is one of the popular time with many locals on that time to catch the nice sunset.

Live Jazz from 7.15pm – 11.30pm daily.

Too bad that we cant be seated outside that night as it was raining quite heavily and sad to enjoy a perfect view of the city from last night itself.

I manage to take a few pictures from the top how it looks like ..

Then heading back where we are seated, as for the night we were super full, so we opted to drink wine for the night.

Nancy and Goft

Me enjoying the drinks, companion of my best friends and the ambiance~

Before we left they are all busying taking pictures of the well lighted wall that fully decorated with wine bottles which is quite impressive.

If you prefer some where you can dance or shake around, then you can consider other sky bar as this one are meant more for relaxing as they have jazz band playing along.

Mezza 9 Restaurant & Bar @ Glomac Galleria, Desa Sri Hartamas

16/05/2012 No Comments

I believe many of you do notice the new empty building next to True Fitness along Sprint Highway heading towards 1-Utama. It looks kinda empty at the moment and with ample parking which is an advantage to this new outlet called Mezza 9 that just operated in the area for just about 3 weeks old. Its very easy to locate as they are the only outlet currently operating as F&B in the building.

[update Aug 2016: Close Down]

Already manage to capture a good drinking crowd and we arrange to go try out this new outlet as they serve Mediterranean Food and heard that they hire a good chef!

After opening its door and put my step in, they have very nice interior that again heading more towards of modern New York cafe style. A simple design that make it look elegant and a comfortable place to dine.

The restaurant is seperate into 2 floors that on the ground level are meant for people to enjoy dining experience also a Non-Smoking area.

However after your dinner if you would want to continue with drinking session can head to mezzanine floor which is design for friends and strangers to get along .. 😀

A few bar tables up here and they do have happy hours too . . Now being up here is a smoking zone already . .

Just love the design of their bar, classy black with some lamps shining on top just as I always like . .

Wild Mushroom Soup @ RM18 filled with finely chopped fresh mushroom cook till creamy yet not too salty at the end. Just as I preferred my mushroom soup to be.

To many first people’s impression on French Onion Soup is am I drinking soy sauce ah? In this case the soup is well prepared that cook till the onion is very soft till near to melt in your mouth as upon you drinking it and it bends towards more salty taste. @ RM12

Garden Salad with Balsamic Dressing @ RM18 is a very simple dish that serve upon yet flavourful and would turn into a perfect dish for a person who is on diet!

Caesar Salad @ RM 18

Another thing that you shall not miss is their Bruschetta range. Salmon Bruschetta (2pcs) @ RM12. Generous with their ingredient as you get a roll of salmon added on top of cubes of tomato with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and finely chopped parsley.

One of my favourite for the night is Mushroom Bruschetta (2pcs) @ RM8, with its creamy sauce flwoing just like that, and smell of the well cook mushroom flows on our nose trails just makes us want to put this whole piece into our mouth one shot. – Recommended!

Calamari with Homemade Tartare Sauce @ RM12 is a simple starter and would pair better if you have a glass of beer along!

The super star dish for the night is this Braised Oxtail (4pcs) as we take pictures on it we already swallowing saliva with the nice smell that it flows out. A perfectly braised dish that the meat is soft yet flavourful . Just makes you want to have more. – Highly recommended! @ RM16

A simple dish and flavourful with hint of black pepper at the end and pair well with the tomato sauce is this Meatball in Tomato Sauce (4pcs) @ RM12.

When it was served upon, I was like why is the salmon burn a bit .. 🙁 yet this would be my frist time to try on something new for Honey & Grain Mustard Glazed Salmon @ RM48. To our suprise, as we cut it, it is soft not as it look and the taste to pair along with honey mustard makes it a great combination.

Another one of my favourite is Mint Marinated Rack of Lamb with Fondant Potato and Roasted Cherry Tomato @ RM45 that is prepare medium with a bit blood flowing out upon cutting it. The mash potato is something we cant stop eating.

A simple dish that prepare well is Spaghetti Aglio Olio with King Prawns @ RM38

Mezza9 Fusion Seafood Paella @ RM40 (double servings) RM25 (single servings)

Oh, I just love this dish because of its strong well balance taste of tomato with lots of mince meat Spaghetti Bolognaise with Beef Bacon (spicy) @ RM25. I just love it. – Recommended!

Black Angus Rib Eye Served with Mediterranean Vegetables, Roasted Potato & Corn on Cob @ RM80

Well prepare in medium with its meat juicy and tender.

Profiteroles (2 serving per portion) @ RM18

oh oh.. their signature desert, also another dish would love to recommend is Chocolate Lava cake with Orange Cream Anglaise @ RM 15. It was prepare pippin hot, that a simple cut break the crust of the cake and chocolate just ooze out, just cant stop eating this.

If you are asking me where to have a nice meal and certianly this would be one of the place to recommend! I guess one of the reason the good food came out is that they have a Chef from Sentidos Tapas, Starhill.

Those of you who love Wine, they now offer WINE BUFFET at RM 50 with 6-8 types of wine available. Available Daily except SUNDAY

Let’s Meet Up After Work at Al-Amar Express @ Fahrenheit 88

22/03/2012 No Comments

When Looking for Lebanese Cuisine, Al-Amar is one of the names that often pop out of my head or when friends ask for good recommendation as this outlet never fails to impress on their food, (click here for previous review Al-Amar Express) & Al-Amar Pavilion (click here)

Sometimes right after work, we are just too lazy to be stuck in the jam for hour to head back home and what do most of us do that work inside the city itself. Either, we will go for a dinner and drinks or catch a movie.

For this round we are heading there to chill out with the rest of our friends as now Al-Amar Express is doing promotion for happy hours.

Its great to see all of them are here that it had been a while since last seen every one all under one roof. After a tiring day at work and this place certainly a great place to meet up with many shopping malls nearby and parking is certainly convenient as most of the car park offer flat rate already which we need not to worry and calculate how many hours x the rates going to be charged.

Simple food is offer in this outlet with Lebanese wraps, healthy sandwiches, chawarmas, salads and Manakeesh (Lebanese pizzas) are all good! Prices start from RM8 – RM25 per dish, besides that Al-Amar also provide attractive lunch combos & dinner at affordable price ranging from RM19 – RM25!

and as for the night, we are onto their cocktails which alcohol is not too strong and pair perfectly with the taste as I like, yet some said its too mild. Well, some like it strong I suggest you ask for more POWER shotz! Mojito for the night to kick start with . .

What’s the special on their happy hours is . .Buy 2 chilled bottles of beers and you will get another for FREE from 4pm – 8pm everyday!

That’s how we get it going and flowing with da booze~

This picture is funny as every one is looking every where with at least 5-6 cameras were taking at that time

Last but not least, all of us had a great time to catch up as its hard to get every one at the same time. Do try their ARAK.. Very kick to end up your night! Its a love hate relationship drink. Either you love it or you hate it!

For hardcore party people, this news would be great for you if you find that those club that close at 3am is too early as Al-Amar Express would be another option to continue your party or after party hang out spot as they open until 5am every Friday and Saturday night

Al-Amar Express Farenheit 88

Bora Bora Beach by SunSet Bistro @ Batu Ferringi, Penang

11/09/2011 No Comments

This is one of the new place that I often see my friend check in until I came here myself and I am surprise to see this new place which is a new replacement for Sunset Bistro which is one of my favorite hang out place if comes to beach area known as Bora Bora Beach.

Now with the new build up to replace Sunset Bistro which been told by my friend it got arson down and surely its much better compare to the old place. Even on weekdays it had manage to make this place lively with local and tourist flock this place with friends and family.

You will be greeted at this look a like beach type frontage with build up 2 mini bridge to bring you over to this new dimension or newly renovated place that replaying Sunset Bistro.

Bora Bora by Sunset is the newest place in the area to give us more to sea side and better ambiance compare to the old one.

If you are seated in door, it have many types of decoration style to make it lively.

Even have a private hut for you to drink and dine.

This is how the overall indoor place looks like, totally sets you in the ambiance right by the seaside and tonight, there is a party going on, every one dress in summer dress which gives it more mood on it, that gives me the memory of Redang..

As you would want to sit outdoor, there are more tables and you have to walk along a bit of sandy area then chose your spot. Can be hidden behind some bushes and plants, next to the stage or right out facing the sea.

This new place certainly is going to be my new chill out place when I head back to Penang next round. Do check out this place if you are at Penang.

Movida Kitchen, Bar and Club Lounge @ Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara

01/09/2010 24 Comments

During big occasions of celebrations, most of us definitely would celebrate outside, it depends on restaurant, bar, playground, seaside or anywhere but for this one occasion we decided to rock this Movida place by arranging a dinner and surprise birthday party for one of our friend.

Modiva Kitchen, Bar and Club Longue is one of the few latest edition in this one hot spot area at Sunway Giza that start operats at April 2010. A place where usually pack with people for happy hours with their great promotions and after 10pm on certain days it will become a club for people to partayyy with an option without travelling so far down to KL.

If you feel you do not want to be indoor then they have the outdoor area that a mini bar that served draft beer.

Indoor before 10pm it is more like a dining space with all plates and cutleries are in place when it is after 10 the place will change

Be prepared to get pampered by the wide range selection of draft beer.

As me, Vialentino, Uli and Ken were there early, we decided to go on for their Kilkenny draft beer, anything with draft I am into it.

A perfect half pint of Kilkenny with the smooth silky foam at the top of it.

Need to take a break after a long day hard work and enjoying myself in this great ambiance.

DJ of the night will blast you off with RnB, Trance, House and on certain days have different music. Their RnB mixing is good…

If you feel you need in style with some privacy space with your own friends, then get this VIP area with solid red sofa that suits you well by overlook at the dance floor.
