Besides taking away your bottle, you can head into their little little hidden restaurant which is just right behind the counter for your leisure chill out with friends or getting a quick fix of meals.

It is  not an extensive menu, but the menu is good enough to pair with most of their wine. Starting off with their chef special cheese wheel. Baked in a temperature with flavour of nuts, berries and honey just right to ooze out the perfect blend of flavour yet cheese is not too salty. Just perfect to my liking and goes very well with red wine! (Especially Shiraz)

Next is chef special in house Wine2U Roast Pork @ RM 12, siew yuk recipe as being season carefully and bake according to their perfect timing. Love the even thin fats in between and each bite is fill with cracking sound. Fresh and good and its only limited portion available.

Their sous-vide Iberico Ribs @ RM 48 is one of the best that I have come across in the area. well marinated, and grill to perfection that the meat is soft, juicy and very fragrant.

wine2u (18)

As they recommend this merlot to pair along which is not too bad. A mild after floral taste that brings out the flavour of herbs from the marination.

Iberico Magro @ RM 68

wine2u (21)

their classic carbonara is indeed a dish which hit on its name. Fill with egg yolk in the middle, and spread evenly with yolk that give you the little drench it need. Fragrant of cheese and mushroom gives it the balance that is needed.

One of the best pork part is this Tomahawk Spare ribs @ RM 29 90  that I have come across. Marinated and cook to perfection that each bite is soft and juicy, still with a little pink that shows the sign of perfect cooking.

well, how often do you order Chef Roy Curry Noodle @ RM 18 in a bar. This is quite unique as this is the outlet best seller. Limited portion available too. The taste of soup is slightly different compare to what I had on outside as they play with a little herbs in it. the purpose of this is to pair with their signature wine Rose. With only additional RM 10 you get a glass of Rose to go with and how bad deal could this be. It is just too perfect.

Chill enough as the mild rose taste brings the taste of herb to a well balance and soothing on your palate yet a hint of floral after taste is there. Quite an interesting and unique combination that they have created for this bowl to pair with this rose.

Folks around the area and looking for a decent place to chill, the food here is pretty amazing and worth to pay a visit. Best is to call up and pre order your food before it runs out as most of the food is being created on limited quantity.

Quite a recommended place.

First time being at Setia Walk and I must say, I am impress with the landscaping design that the developer had build. Its a very relaxing place that host many restaurant, & Bar, of course not to be miss TGV is hosted in here too. Great for residents in Puchong that need not travel far for movie. Not only that, as we were walking around and spotted 3 coffee joints around the area and decided to give Tipsy a try as saw my friends posting about this cafe weeks ago.

Tipsy (1)

Tipsy (2)

Cafe Latte for the night and I find that milk taste is pretty strong that overshadow the taste of coffee. Wont fall into my average coffee list. @ RM 8.90

Tipsy (13)

Well, coffee is like wine, its a very subjective taste to everyone.

Bangsar sure is a place for diner’s paradise. There are actually many hidden restaurant around the area. This would be a new discovery for me that there are actually a stretch of shop lots right opposite a housing area host many outlets here.

I reach here about 7pm and quite suprise to see that many of the outlets are pack with happy hour drinkers. Some holding wine glass and beer mug. After some chit chat only discover that they have their very own crowd to dine there as the food quality and price tag are reasonable.

For tonight, I was lucky to be invited by Cheng Yi (FatboyBakes) to sample along with great food and wine pairing dinner, as the range wines offer is by Craggy Range.

The wine are branded under 2 labels which the Wild Rock is the more easy to drink and Craggy Range come with more character on it. In short Craggy Range bottles are on the higher end side. This would be my first time trying out New Zealand wine.

Menu for the night~

wine (8)

Upon arrival, we get to sample their first range, The Sauvignon Blanc 2011 Wild Rock, New Zealand wine. I am quite fussy over my white wine as it is hard to find something I like and to my suprise upon my first sip, I fell in love with this bottle. It is easy to drink for a wine, smooth texture before begin starter. A young wine that can provide such taste and texture I am impress. Surely its a highly recommended wine~

wine (9)

salsa, garlic balsamic vinegar mix and breads just pair well with my wine.

In my thought, in a Spanish restaurant what can this be serve? Thought it would be like Chinese dining experience like those Herbs chicken. Guess what? Its:

Another Puchong discovery as I felt that there are alot of food outlet in this area. One of the latest discovery is this shop LSY-Pot which their signature is on claypot. One of famous chinese eatery by using claypot to cook the rice and with some add on ingredient as I love my version with alot of chinese sausage and one chunk of salted fish.

Oriental Claypot Chicken Rice @ RM6.90 small, RM13.50 large

This is how I like my claypot chicken rice to be, aromatic of a bit chinese wine, chinese sausage and the most important is they use a very good quality of salted fish.

If you prefer your Claypot chicken rice to be seperated out, they can do it ‘Chicken served on a plate on top of white rice’. To me, this taste better than the mixture of everything inside the claypot, as it manage to seperate the taste out of it and the watery gravy on top of it perfect to go along with rice!

Great! Another love comedy movie coming up staring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner~
When I first saw the preview of the movie, directly I thought of my friend’s past experience during uni life. He was my housemate when I was studying at Melbourne. At that time, my few guy friends at that time were happily having a few girlfriends at one time but one of the guy
s case is not as good as this one and till today we still bring it up, talk and laugh at it.
The story goes like this, my housemate get to know this gurl from the a friend in Malaysia, then started talking and webcam, till she finally come to Melbourne. After she left, my housemate get to know another in the club, from Thai, then again the following week another girl and the following week another girl. At that time he was already had 4 gurl friend at 1 go. Then till very 1 day, me and my the rest of the housemate decided to have a cooking fiesta with him beeing the cook and invite all our friends over to dine. We had lobster, Oyster, wine and beer.
At that time, he again hooked up with one of our friend’s friend. He had put whole lot of afford on her till finally the gurl agree to let him fetch her back, then not more than 3o minutes later, he came back to our house looking a bit funny and all of us very curious ask him how how? he cant be that fast right. He told us that when his car stopped the traffic light, then one of the gf saw him and ask him, going where and who is that gurl then there the scene begin. The other gf ask the gurl in the car who the hell are you! then ask back the same, then the gurl in the car realise that this guy is a playboi and just left him. Till that, they never keep in touch with him anymore but of course with us still do.
My ex housemate now is happily married with 2 kids. Thank god now he had settle down but those were the days~
Hopefully I can get the special invitation fron Nuffnang. Thank youuuuuu~~~~~
