One place that I do visit couple of times on my friends cafe in Subang Empire is Vanilla Place that located in front of Toys R Us, not till recently I got an invitation to sample a Chinese restaurant in Empire Subang Hotel, Di Wei. That make me scratch my head, that do a hotel actually exist in this shopping mall?

As I walk the whole building little did I recall there is any entrance to the hotel and only realize till the day when I attend this event. There is actually a hotel in the shopping mall which the entrance is on the top floor of the shopping mall that you need to take a stairs up to the lobby.

Empire (1)

Di Wei Chinese Restaurant is located on the shopping mall wing on the first floor. It is hard for you to miss it as the decoration is very Chinese contemporary look on the entrance of it.

This would be one of the Chinese Restaurant in the Hotel that serve NON-Halal food and you can expect nice pork to be serve as before I came here, my friend already told me they serve nice Dim Sum over the weekend at a very reasonable price.

Empire (2)

I am impress with the whole interior design that look so modern yet the touch of olden days is there. This would be the waiting area if its full house.

Empire (3)

This is what I mean with wooden floor panel and sliding classic door in between to create privacy for rooms

Empire (4)

or even a private room for you and your guest that they have wall of Chinese Emperor era materials display along to make the ambiance.

Empire (5)

They do have a full rack of wine to offer. .

Empire (6)

If you have bigger families or group you can walk towards the end and there will be a few tables in the room itself to seperate you and public guest.

Empire (8)

Open Kitchen concept to prepare some fried food and steam dumpling area.

Empire (9)

Steamed Shrimp Dumpling

Empire (10)

Steam to soften on the skin which is thin layer that cover the whole inside filling, and a huge prawn was sighted not long after a small bite. Dip with soy sauce and chili make it perfect.

Empire (11)

Steamed Siew Mai always serve as there is nothing much to shout about, but it is always the feel and texture of it as I just love this alot!

Empire (12)

Stir-Fried Soft Shell Crab With Dried Chillies and Garlic,

Empire (13)

Deep-Fried Vietnamese Rock Melon Prawn Roll With Mint Sauce

Empire (14)

This is another unique dish that being carefully deep fried to crips that the crust of the standing tower, with each bite you can feel the crack inside your mouth and the special mint sauce is mild that perfect to go along with it and hint of sweet rock melon at the end just pairs well.

Empire (15)

Steamed Cod Fish With Spring Onions and Coriander Sauce Topped With Crispy Ginger

Empire (16)

Cod fish is very soft and one bite you can felt the slices cut inside your mouth and with the pot being serve, it kept the whole thing being warm and I just finish it within 2 bites. 😀

Empire (17)

Mongolian Style Braised Crispy Pork Ribs in BBQ Sauce

Empire (18)

Lemon Grass Jelly with Lemon Sorbet

Empire (19)

anything with lemon grass jelly top with sour sorbet I just love it. some of my friend don understand how I love sour stuff. Its chill and very refreshing after all the dish we had. Satisfying!

Empire (20)

The person who is behind all the food in the restaurant is Chef Chin

Some of us would have dinner outside almost everyday. Sometimes, we are just lost in hunting for what to eat on next meal. There is one outlet that newly operated in Sunway Pyramid new wing that sit directly across Starbucks is this famous restaurant chain from Singapore, Paradise Inn. Yes correct! I think you have the same thought as me when I was like huh? A restaurant not a hotel? Well, the word Inn definitely mislead many of us yet it is confirm that its not a hotel and it is actually a restaurant.

Paradise Inn (1)

The restaurant is decorated back into the olden days with contemporary look as you can see at the main entrance is like back to the 70’s style design high class restaurant at that time.

Paradise Inn (2)

Paradise Inn is one of a well know restaurant chain in Singapore that they provide good home cook style food at a very reasonable price.

Paradise Inn (3)

The food in the menu looks very tempting, everything in it looks good~

Paradise Inn (4)

One of their signature is their double boil soup that I can see nearly all tables have this classic pot sitting at their table.

Paradise Inn (5)_resize

I love the drinks that they are offering with a very light hint combination of the flavours and my fav is the one in the middle, which is one of the best seller (I suddenly forgot the name) then follow by Lavender Tea filled with some natural herbs and flowers like chrysanthemum too.

Paradise Inn (8)

Traditional double boil soup – Clam with pork ribsRM39.90/pot

Paradise Inn (9)

since every one order this, we were serve along to try it out along. This pot is enough to feed for 2-4 pax.

Paradise Inn (10)

Very clear in taste yet boil till the soup is aromatic, something that I have miss for quite some time and now I know where to hunt for nice double boil soup that is added into my list.

Paradise Inn (12)

Crisp-fried Crystal Prawns with Salted Egg Yolk one of the must order item. A prawn that had peel all the skins out and cook along that the whole prawn meat chew in your mouth blends with aromatic fried salted egg along just burst in flavour in your mouth. I always prefer to have prawns that already peel off its shell so can get the full taste of it. @ RM 29.90

Paradise Inn (13)

Crispy fried Fish With Preserved Bean Paste (Nam Yue) – Dory Fish fillet battered with preserved bean paste that fried till crisp on all side.

Paradise Inn (14)

Sliced Tea Smoke Duck is something for you to go for a start and chew, well marinated and finely cut slice is just enough to keep you going. @ RM 12.90

Paradise Inn (15)

Another one of my favourite which is Crisp-fried Crystal Prawns in Wasabi Mayo Sauce. Sauce is not too watery that is just at the right texture to coat along with the prawns and at the end of the taste a hint of spiciness that just burns your nose a bit.  @ RM 29.90

Paradise Inn (16)

Seafood Supreme Fried Rice is cook with ‘wok hei’ till its a bit dry and best part is you wont see a fried rice that cook along with Ebiko. Its unique. @ RM19.90

Paradise Inn (17)

This is one of my all time favourite, that I had this so often when I was in Melbourne and came back not many people can cook this well. Certainly Poached Chinese Spinach with Egg Trio and Minced Pork in Superior Stock is one of the recommended dish also that cook along with 3 types of eggs (Century egg, salted egg and normal egg) and mince meat. @ RM16

Paradise Inn (18)

The melt-in-your-mouth meat dishes, the Stewed Pork Belly Served with Lotus Bun

Paradise Inn (19)

It would be best to order along this Fluffy lotus bun as it is made fresh upon order.

Paradise Inn (20)

This is how you eat the stew pork with the bun, its one of the way and if you prefer to eat it without the bun also would be a perfect pair with your rice, because of its great sauce.

Paradise Inn (21)

I never like eggplant before because of its soft moist texture and after I have try good food when I was in Hong Kong i fall in love with this dish. Stewed Eggplant with Minced Pork and Salted Fish in Claypot that will pair along very well with your rice as the taste of it just absorbs. @ RM16

Paradise Inn (22)

One of a unique dish for the day is Coffee Pork Ribs, its a bit bitter at the end taste as that’s the result of coffee flavor. Very well prepared as the coffee taste do not over power their sauce that cook along. @ RM 19.90

Paradise Inn (23)

Crisp-fried Shrimp Paste Chicken crisp from inside out. @ RM18

Paradise Inn (24)

Braised Vermicelli with Pork Trotters is something that I used cook often when I am at oversea and now they have it here too. Its not too salty as it looks and the taste of pork trotters is in it without the vermicelli fried too dry. @ RM19.90

Paradise Inn (25)

Braised Tofu with Crystal Prawns @ RM25

Paradise Inn (26)_resize

At the end of the dinner, how can we not have desert when I scroll thru their desert page I am tempted to order all to try. So I guess my wish was granted and we have all it here. Corn and Barley, Mango Desert and Chilled Lemongrass Jelly with Lemonade 

Paradise Inn (27)_resize

Mango Pudding, Black Sesame Paste and Almond 

Paradise Inn (33)_resize

Double-boiled Hasma with Red Dates and Longan and Black Glutinous with tong yuen.

At the end of the meal, I was so full and satisfied, as rarely a Chinese restaurant that would serve quite a good range of food and taste is control best of all the price is very reasonable.. Definately I am looking foward to come back and dine here.

One of a recommended Restaurant!~

Since like this week is more like holiday mood since Raya Holiday is this weekend, lets discover one of the place I went in Taiwan. After our morning session of MaoKong Gondola and head to Taipei 101, then our next destination is to Taiwan Storyland which showcase the olden days of Taiwan lifestyle.

storyland

It might look pretty ugly outside but that’s the main purpose of it that they had transform the whole basement into classic era olden days of Taiwan architecture which is from 50’s – 70’s. It is very impressive that the whole place are decorated with mini streets, vintage bicycle, cars, cameras, coffee shops, police stations  and many more.

storyland (2)

If you are interested in the lifestyle of Taiwan olden days, then I would recommended this place as its a good place for photoshoot as we thought we would just spend a short time in this place but ended up 3 hours as we camwhore alot..So be prepared to scroll it..:)

storyland (3)

On the way walking to the ticket counter we had already encounter the classic feeling that we were actually back to the 70’s with the film poster and advertisement decorated along the way yet shine it with classic orange light bulbs.
