Best Alcohol Ice Cream @ Gecko, PJ Trade Center

13/12/2011 No Comments

Who would really know that actually in PJ Trade center hidden a few bars and restaurant and a new discovery in the small area we found Gecko Restaurant, Bar & Lounge with a very unique desert that worth to be share with you guys.

Please drag further down then you will understand what is so good!

Gecko is located at the end of the stretch of the bar or more visible is next to Ecobar . . .

A place that offers comfy dining in a very peaceful environment

They have tiger and Guinness draft available for you beer drinkers. . .

They offer fusion food in the restaurant ..

Chicken Merguez Sausage

As below are all the super stars for the night, as for the first time we come across superb alcohol ice cream. So we ordered a few and this is the first one that came.

Single Malt 12 years old Macallan – Ice cream is quite solid soft that pairs the taste of Macallan very well, that is not too strong, yet get to taste the alcohol is there and did not overpower the taste of vanilla. – RM 12

The super star of the night is this Guinness Flavor! It is exactly like drinking Guinness! I think would be very best to order a pint of Guinness and put a few scoops of this to make it like alcohol float! Recommended! RM10

Italian Kahlua, I would say more suits to girls as Kahlua already known by itself its a coffee liquor that is not too strong in flavour and best perfect to pair with milk and it is just right to go along. RM 10

Another Flavor is Johnnie Walker – Turns out to be not bad but have tasted the best above so my taste bud had overpower this flavor. RM 10

Bailey’s Mud Pie @ RM 10

I often had Mud Pie but never come across this Bailey’s Mud Pie that a soft warm chocolate pie is place on a mini sea alcohol of Baileys. The taste is warm, filled with alcohol and a perfect combination with ice-cream that makes it very unique in taste! – Recommended

Peanut Butter Snow Pie @ RM 10

If you are looking for something different for your desert, Gecko is one of the place to hunt for something you rarely try and its good! as for my own personal favourites of Ice – Cream I would choose 2 flavours is a must try is Guinness and Macallen!

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 .. .

Skyy Vodka Launching Partie @ Twenty One Kitchen and Bar, Changkat Bukit Bintang

02/11/2009 No Comments

Back in those years when I was studying, I was expose to Vodka with the very classic type which is Absolute Vodka with my very very first shot of that night had make me phobia of drinking it again. Since then, they had an improve range of Absolute Vodka – Pears, Blackcurrant, Vanilla, Mandarin, Citron and started to like that range with certain mixture, it surely pull up the kick on it.

Not until recently, Sidney tag me along to this brand new launching of Vodka at Changkat Bukit Bintang which I get the opportunity to expose myself to this brand new taste of it. Actually, it is not a stranger to me as I have seen the bottle on the market but never tried it before and since there is an opportunity come with this alcohol range, of course I am interested. This area had since gain its name to local and internationally which to me had transform to something more like Bangsar in town area.

I did not manage to capture the bottle so I have to loan a picture the net. Tonight, there wont be a big happy family around, but I am gladly to present you 3 sexy, slender chics to you with exquisite succulent fruit taste.

‘Skyy Infusion Raspberry’, ‘Skyy Infusion Lemon’ and last but not least ‘Sky Infusion Passion Fruit’ Their new range is to create for those desire fruit would be one of their ideal choices with their classic bottle design and make over to skinnier, taller overall, with a taller neck to suit the current contemporary lifestyle.

Twenty One Kitchen and Bar was being the selected place to host this wonderful launching, as I previously tried to arrange a birthday dinner here with nice, dim interior yet simple and classy look that gives you a relaxing feel that’s being my selected restaurant here besides that, I love their house music playing on the next level.

As we proceed to the next level on the event floor, you will be warmly welcome by this two great representative for Skyy Vodka.

We were there early, and it that was not many people on that time. As the time past, the people just filled up the place like minutes.As most of the people are attacking on the free flow of vodka serving and mingling around to widen their networks.

I consider this as their VIP area filled sofa’s and pillow which make up a great area to have birthday partie.

DJ spin deck area.

Of course must take picture with them la~ if not feel guilty. :p

Then I walked around to scout for my very first glass of Vodka till I came across this. Fresh passion fruit that infuse with vodka in it, a great way of combination that with the sour’ness of the passion fruit and the strong taste of passion fruit vodka had make it a perfect combination to eat it.

With their Skyy Vodka range this are the flavors that I manage to kidnap from the waiter. ‘Citrus in Lime’(if not mistaken), ‘Citrus in Orange’ and ‘Raspberry with Ice and crush fresh raspberry’. Every mixer distinguishes its unique in the flavor and Orange and Raspberry is my preferred choice.

The very next round, I saw a waiter brought a bunch of these serve to one of the table outside and I also do request for it. Looks nice and something which I don see around in the bar. A shot of Vodka with Raspberry, Lemon and Passion Fruit and my favorite among those 3 are Raspberry.

As the night proceeding where there is more people had filled up the place, the emcee had do some talking and presenting the range of Skyy Vodka and the best part is there is lucky draw and its not one, its many. Sidney was being one of the lucky winners. Then there are a few performances that arrange by them. One of it are:

I was standing way back when this guy was doing performance with its magic trick and if I do not remember wrongly this guy is one of the best magician in Asia. He was walking around to show us his magic trick. Some were impress, some were guessing what’s his illusion trick and some weren’t impress as they were busy talking. I were impress.

He showed us his empty hand and then make into fist and shoved the cloth in it.

He asked you to look carefully as he showed you his empty hand again. The next thing we know he starts to pull the cloth from the mouth. Yeng. I ask him what is his trick he said, this is magic…speechless. . . . . !

Next trick he is going to be one of the character in X-men. His flame hand trick.

It was a great night with me enjoying the shots and meeting new people there. Used to wonder when I can attend this kind of event and here am I which thanks to Sidney for tagging me along to this first alcohol experience and I had put this vodka range into my drinking list of course you have to ask the bar tender to recommend which is the best mixer to go with, from there you will be amaze how the taste will be.
