Food, Glorious Food!: January 2011 Edition

Let's get straight to the point, shall we?
...
We go to KLCC once a month probably and the last visit saw us trying out this Indonesian place called Bumbu Desa. Looked fancy from the outside and is a good place to take your foreign clients or friends who might wanna sample authentic Asian cuisine (after mamaks and nasi campur, of course).
...
And looking at the dishes being displayed, I was pumped up for a truly satisfying nasi padang experience. Have a look at some of the dishes we ordered...
...
...But really, it wasn't as mind-blowing as your eyes might want to believe. The cumi cumi (sotong), was really salty, the tempe was was just OK, and overall, it still has quite a way to go to top my fave spot for nasi padang, Sari Ratu.
......Next up, a really good place for excellent Japanese grub, Zen at Sunway Pyramid. Traffic and parking might be madness in that area during the night, so my advice would be to valet park your car right next to the restaurant and walk in.
...


Everything's super duper fresh here, and I'd recommend you the sushi set with beef. In a word, bestlah!
... ... Unlike KLCC, we're at Pavilion almost every weekend. (Got Zara there lah). We've tried out most of the better makan places there, but still working our way through the whole Food Republic line up.
...
And one of the the most recent new tries was the Serai Satay Bar. I know, I know, makan satay kat shopping mall? Belum cuba, belum tau kan?
...
Anyway, took the um, variety plate, and it had 2 sticks of chicken, beef and mutton each. I must say that it's not that bad at all. The downside? RM10.60 for 6 sticks. A bit on the cekik darah side.
... ...Still at Pavilion, Pepper Lunch is where we'd go for slightly healthier fare. Ahem. It needs you to do some grilling though, but the result would be worth the self-grilling bit, I can assure you.
...
...And lastly at Pavillion, don't leave the place without tucking into some dessert at MOF Japanese Sweets & Coffee. No need to go too fancy schmancy, just the soft serve ice cream with fruits would do the job nicely.
...

...
That's all for now, and if all goes well, I'll soon be reporting from Las Vacas for the Great Steak Challenge. It will be MZul vs Food indeed...
