Vietnamese Food – Sao Nam @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang

02/07/2013 No Comments

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~

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.

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

Sweet Potato Leaves @ RM 12

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.

Well, how often do you find nice food all under one roof? One of the place that I frequently visit is this new Eat Food Village at Publika that host many of the famous hakwer food from all around Klang Valley to be under one roof.

The whole concept of the food court had turn into very old Shanghainese concept like back to the 1920’s. With classic wooden entrance, huge wall chinese classic painting on the wall will greet you.

The food court offer cosy and huge dining area . . .

Cha Time is available here too, less queue . .:D

Famous Chicken Rice from Segambut if I am not mistaken.

Famous Hokkien Fried Noodle ..

Kin Kin Pan Mee that need to put alot of chili to make it umph

My favourite Bukit Mertajam Yam Rice. .

Price in here are pretty reasonable that starting from RM 7.90 – RM 13.90 and it turns out to be one of my favourite food court. Most of their food usually sold out around 8pm as they have less night crowd. So do not be there late. .

Nice Food and Desert at The Vanilla Place @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang

25/02/2011 No Comments

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]

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.

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

bigger group get to dine in this special area. . .

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.

the pot of tea are from the order of Tea for 2 set which is very very ‘Dai'(reasonable-check a few pictures below). . Then I order Mint Oreo Shake and Oreo Milk Shake, both is also good to try out.

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

Cripsy crust of Pie Tee @ RM 9.80

Tea for 2 @ RM 18.80 served with a pot of tea. . . . .tea or flower tea, mini cup cake, mini brownie, cookie, macaroon,strawberry dipped chocolate, mini scone, pie tee, mini quiche, mini pie, tomato bruschetta, tuna sundried & tomato sandwich.

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

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.

One of my super favourite of the dish is Spaghetti Carbonara cook till creamy and the sos is weal coated with all the spaghetti and I enjoy every bite of it till the very last sluurrppppp .. . . RM14.80 recommended~

Spaghetti Seafood Pesto would be more in a healthy way that cook along with some onlive oil and greens as we quite like the taste of it too . . RM14.80

Seafood Aglio Olio

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

That is served hot on the spot and I love the skin of the pie which is very aromatic with buttery taste and along with the creamy sauce of it, just taste perfect and its a good afternoon pie to be shared.

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

Lamb Rack is certainly huge for the price of RM18.80, that comes with 4 pieces of huge rack that had grilled till the meat is just soft and fats are even in between the meat.

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

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

We were so full already yet we still insist we want to hunt for their desert and their Lovely Macaroons taste good with orange and yam flavor, soft top and cheawy center is something that I prefer. RM4.50 each

It has been very long time since I have hunt for good Pavlova that the nearest I came accross is Alexis and now with this shop, this Pavlova had now ranked the top in my list so far. .. it taste exactly what I have tasted at Australia. .. Recommended! RM8.80

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

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? If you are in this mall, looking for very decent meal at lower price, I am definately recommending this cafe with its huge portion, absolute taste in quality from mains and desert is a bargain. I am definately returning back here again .. .
