Food can sometimes be very different if we are adventurous enough yet at times it can be a dissapointment. Recent discovery on something new in Bukit Damansara is this outlet called Maliqa Mediterranean Cuisine that serve HALAL Mediterranean food, and I must say its actually a hidden gem in the area. Open its door not too long ago already have build up well with many return customer with its reasonable pricing and food quality.

 Also further understand that Maliqa in term of Arabic origin used in Persia it means a title of Queen Consort.

For welcoming drink, we were greeted with their Honey Yogurt drink. This is one of the drink that you shall not miss, smooth and not too sweet yet I do not mind to have the whole jug by myself.

maliqa (8)

Something new to me is this Pirincli Yoghurt & Corbasi. It looks healthy for morning breakfast as I was on diet for that week and surely this would be a great soup for me. Something simple and the taste is a bit salty papperish end.

maliqa (10)

Another soup came by is Spicy Seafood Soup

 Fried Mushroom for appetizer to much on before the mains are coming over.

Lamb Shank were good as the lamb were braised till soft and aromatic with their house special gravy and risotto is cook to my likings. Lamb taste is pretty strong and those of you who do not really take lamb then this is not encourage.

maliqa (13)

Maliqa House Steak werent bad is just that on that night I find it abit over cook for the steak. Gravy is good which is light that did not overpower the taste of the steak. Its one of their signature dish for Maliqa.

Right after Christmas what is next festive season we have in line? Thaipusam will be kicking off first then follow by Chinese New Year. I am sure many of you arleady see those big malls are busy preparing decorations for you guys to photoshoot for Toh Yuen.

Not only that, all F&B, restaurants are all busy preparing special menu for all of us out there. Toh Yuen at PJ Hilton is coming up with Fortune Menu, Happiness Menu, Longevity Menu and Propensity Menu, that is priced at RM988++, RM1188++, RM1388 and RM1688++ respectively for each table of 10 pax.

PJ Hilton (1)

Deluxe Salmon & Seaweed Yee Sang with Mixed Fruits

PJ Hilton (3)

Lou Sang in Chinese Tradition is a must which signify toss of luck, health and prosperity. Not only that, that salmon fish is use to symbolize life and longevity.

PJ Hilton (4)

The sauce are slightly sour end with sweet taste of mango, pineapple and dragon fruit. Something which is easy to start off with as most of the restaurant have different sauces for Yee Sang.

PJ Hilton (5)

When the waiter open up the cover of the pot of Braised Baby Abalone with Dried Seafood Soup, I was like wahhhh, so rich in ingredient yet its double boil. Something to look for and the light smell of it entrails my nose that I just cant wait to get a sip of it.

PJ Hilton (7)

Look at the ingredient that they have, with huge abalone dried scallops,  fish maw, herbs and black chicken.

PJ Hilton (6)

A soup that truly come to my liking that is clear yet aromatic.

PJ Hilton (8)

Braised Sea Cucumber with Mixed Mushrooms and Sun-dried Scallops. A bowl of rice is needed for this. Top with gravy on top of it and just pairs well with broccoli was boil well not too soft and sea cucumber is soft enough.

PJ Hilton (9)

Half Half… Roast Chicken, Smoked Duck with Dragonfruit Sauce and Vegetable Crackers. Smoked duck is aromatic and very well prepare that the dragonfruit dressing just add a simple and light taste of it yet smock duck taste still there. Its a dish that shall not miss and roast chicken I just love the skin.

PJ Hilton (10)

when I look at the menu, this dish definitely caught my attention, especially anything in cod, I would put extra attention cuz I just love cod. Deep Fried Canadian Cod with Honey Sauce comes with huge cube of fresh cod and fried well on the outer layer with cod meat is warm inside, that pairs well with the sauce. I didnt enjoy it slowly, I put in the whole cube into my mouth and let it burst with flavour.

PJ Hilton (11)

Sauteed Fresh Sea Prawns with Wasabi Mayo and “Sakura Denbu” is nearly juicy and I just wish I have extra wasabi mayo to dip on, then it would have been another perfect dish.

PJ Hilton (12)

By the time reach this dish we were already surrendering, it looks little but its actually very filling. Then Steamed Glutinous Rice with Sun-fried Oysters, Salted Egg Yolk and Chicken Paste was well prepare and the colour of it already attracted us. At first the girls next to me was planing come lets take one and share 3 portion ended up the take 1 each. Its good, filled with flavour of the leave and salted egg that makes the extra kick of it. Glutinous rice was well cook and steam that just makes it a perfect ending.

PJ Hilton (13)

Deep Fried Nian Gao with Yam

PJ Hilton (14)

Hilton Ice Cream Cake

Many of the modern Chinese family do not really cook at home any more for reunion dinner and surely this is one of the restaurant to consider.

Last 2 weeks, when I was working half way and got and suddenly got an email, 50% promotions on buffett at La Gomera Restaurant, I instantly open up to see what is the craze about and it was from a website doing this promo for only 2 days. I hit on Google and check out what is the comment from other bloggers and turn out to be not bad. . Moments later, my friend called up, saying lets go and try out, and I promise them instantly and think of where can we get buffet for RM29.90 nett and lagi lagi is Spanish food.

La Gomera

I think I would say this is the first of its kind, that La Gomera a Spanish Food & Dining is offering us buffet style that in business for less than 5 months.

La Gomera (2)

We reach there pretty late around 9.30pm as it stated in the vouchure that the restaurant open till midnight and there are no session in between which is pretty good as the vouchure only valid on weekdays.

La Gomera (4)

Inside its pretty comfortable but when I see the crowd inside the restaurant a big question mark pop up in my head.. after discount on the vouchure why the restaurant is pretty empthy?

La Gomera (22)

No Photos? I still take.. . .:p

La Gomera (3)

A few sessions is available starting from appetizer.

I have always wonder how would Chinese Fine Dining would taste like with its exclusive interior, expensive and exclusive ingrediants that are prepared in the meal not until recently I had a chance to try it out at this very hidden gem at China Treasure, Sime Darby Convention Center, Bukit Kiara.
China Treasure

China Treasures, the well-love Halal fine dining Chinese restaurant had newly reopens its door in new style that previously had been closed in mid-July for its renovation work that had now with its new outlook of contemporary decor influenced by oriental elegance and now can accomodate 150 person.

China Treasure (7)

China Treasure (19)

China Treasure (25)

With its large indoor aquarium, filled with fish, oyster, lobster, prawns and crabs to ensure its freshness that customer able to see.

China Treasure (8)

China Treasure (2)
The peanuts was serve upon our arrival yet its something that I do not know how to enjoy that the taste doesnt suit my taste bud.

China Treasure (14)

‘Sliced Cold Chicken topped with Green Chilli Sauce’ this is a surprise dish to me as I did not expect the meat to be cold. Soft chicken slice topped with the chili is something new to me and I find the taste is a bit unique cold and a bit of sour spicy.

China Treasure (20)

‘Deep Fried Mushroom with Wasabi Sauce’ is something that I like very much as a snacks that are fried crispy yet dipping it with a well blended mayonnaise mix with wasabi is too hard to resist.

China Treasure (26)

I love a dish when it is fried along with salted egg, as its not an easy dish to be prepared and not many people can do it and cook it well but ‘Deep Fried Shimeiji Mushroom with Salted Egg’ is prepared well, with the taste of some buttery aroma and you can taste the saltiness of the small little crush of salty egg that some of it is like melting on my tongue, simply delicious.
China Treasure (3)
I have seen how fried rice prepared and serve in pumpkin but never knew that they do serve the soup in this way too.‘Double Boiled Seafood Soup in Whole Pumpkin’ is something clear that you are looking forward to start off with with clear soup and pieces of seafood.

China Treasure (9)

‘Steam Live Star Garupa’ as the look of the fish might look big to me and I thought that the meat is going to be solid but it prove me wrong, as the fish meat is soft yet steam it that it doesnt have the fishy smell taste good with the simple soy sauce.

China Treasure (15)

I always love duck ‘Roasted Duck Hong Kong Style’ is perfectly well roast on the skin which is crispy yet the meat is not too solid that dip along with the sauce in it, its something that I like very much.
China Treasure (4)
‘Sauteed Seasonal Vegetables with Garlic’ looks very nice and presentable that the taste is nice.
China Treasure (21)
I enjoy ‘Pan Fried Beef Cutlet toasted over with Mangolian Sauce’ as the tenderness of the beef yet it wasnt cook well done. As I cut through it, can still see the some raw and blood part of it and with the mogolian sauce, only one word came out from me, GOOD!

China Treasure (27)

China Treasure (16)
‘Sauteed Lamb Cubes with Sliced Garlic ‘ as I love how the garlic is fried along with the lamb with its aromatic garlic stick on the lamb cubes that makes it flavourful.

China Treasure (10)

I have never tried out a dish that add on raisins but ‘Deep Fried Prawns with Portugese Sauce’ is exceptionally good that the prawn meat is solid that shows the sign of freshness and never thought that the sauce and the raisins would combine so well.

China Treasure (22)

The chef show us how La Mian which are freshly pulled noodles that are made upon orders that available in different styles.

China Treasure (28)

Just having seen it pulled and prepared by the chef ‘La Mian with Minced Chicken and Mushroom in Spicy Sauce’ was serve abit colourfull with the ingredient cook along with it. I just finish it within 2 mouth.
China Treasure (17)
‘Double Boiled Luo Han Guo with Winter Melon’ which I love the longan very much, the sweetness of it had boiled into the soup which is not too sweet yet abit hard and chewy texture and the soup is very aromatic that is not too sweet that comes to my liking.
China Treasure (5)
If you prefer something light in taste ‘Chilled Almond and Lychee’ is the one you would be looking in the menu. Soft almond cubes and and mild sweetness of lychee that makes it a good combination is something that I enjoy.

China Treasure (11)

I am always a fan of ‘Chinese Herbal Jelly’ yet this had added into my list of herbal jelly with its herbal bitterness is there, yet if you cant take too bitter of it, the sugar syprup is prepared to rescue you.
China Treasure (23)
‘Chilled Mango Cream with Pamelo and Sago’ is very satisfying after a great meal, that you can bite the biji biji of the watery pamelo will burt into your tongue and combine with the taste of mango that makes me say it out…Good.

China Treasure (29)

I have never like avocado but this ‘Chilled Avocado Pudding’ had made me take 2 plates of it. Something which is kinda hard for me to resist with its smooth pudding texture yet added on with the flavourful taufufa and it was served cold.
China Treasure (12)
Last and for all ‘The Durian Pancake’.
China Treasure (18)
I would say, one of the best I have eaten so far, that if I were given a chance to grab the whole plate I would do it. Love the very flavourful durian base as the whole ingredient that were wrapped around the pancake and was serve cold, makes it taste like I am actually eating durian.
China Treasure (24)
After such a great meal, without Chef David we are not able to stand a chance to try out the great food.
