Sun Nae Deul, Publika Solaris Dutamas

I've been going to Solaris Dutamas
about twice a week in the past couple of months.

I love the ambience of the mall.

Anyways, that aside,
each time passing Solaris Dutamas,
I would notice a brightly lit signboard -
'San Nae Deul'.

Told myself that I've got to try it out
because it always looks packed from afar
hence the food should be good.

Had a little trouble finding the restaurant at first because I seldom come to this side of Publika.


Ban Chan - pretty much your usual side dishes - Kimchi, mashed potato, vegetables, mini pancakes, fried anchovies, etc.


Green onion pancake.

Mr Lim's seafood pancake still wins hands down.
Found the pancake here a lil too thick.


Pork and mushrooms


Beef




Mike said that he still preferred
Mr.Lim Korean BBQ Restaurant
over Sun Nae Deul
because Mr. Lim is more cosy.

At Sun Nae Deul,
waiters were running up and down
attending to tables.

Short handed perhaps?

Because there aren't enough of waiters,
I suppose that would explain
why they aren't very attentive either.

Had to remind the waiter to bring
the bean paste (ssam jang)
and lettuce
for our Korean BBQ meat. TSK tsk.

Our meat was left on the table for awhile
because nobody was there to attend to our table
to help us BBQ the meat.

Service aside,
the Korean BBQ was decent.

Be Lohas Cafe @ Damansara Uptown

Decided to eat @ Be Lohas,
a restaurant/shop that serves & sells
organic & vegetarian food products.

I was bored of eating the same food and
vegetarian food for a change
made our dining experience
a little more exciting.




We were served with complimentary soup & spirulina.
Found the complimentary spirulina pretty amusing.

Everytime I hear the word 'Spirulina',
I will automatically think of turtle food.


Tried the laksa which is supposed to be one of their popular items - which uses soy milk.
Was pretty decent, for a vegetarian laksa.


Guess what's this?

VEGETARIAN Bah Kut Teh!

The soup tastes as good as normal BKT.

Mike said that this meal is perfect for people who just like drinking BKT soup without eating the pork.





Ordered the black sesame tong sui and I really liked it.
It was thick and creamy and is served without sugar.

You can adjust the sweetness to your liking ;)
Perfect for aunties for always complain of tong sui(s) being too sweet.

Sri Ayutthaya, Damansara Heights

Didn't know where to plan to go on Mother's Day
and after talking to my colleague,
I managed to get some ideas - Thai food for a change.

First restaurant that came to mind was Erawan
but I knew it was already too late to secure a place
hence the second option was Sri Ayuntthaya
(which turned out to be a mistake.)




The first time that I ate here was during a client meeting
and I personally enjoyed my meal -
fat juicy scallops, soft shell crabs, steamed fish -
the food was good (back then).


Happy Mother's Day Oh Mother Dearest.



Our dinner that night which cost about RM80++ per pax
was a rip off. Oh wells. Too late to cry over spilled milk.















The most enjoyable meal I had was probably the water chestnut dessert served in a small little bowl.
The second best was probably the soft shell crab and the tasty sambal served with it.

The other items were just in between poor to average.

The groundnuts in the mango kerabu was not fresh according to my parents.

Plus the spring chicken (with tamarind sauce) was more like a winter chicken. Tough and dry. It wasn't very fresh. Plus at RM80++ per pax, the fish was an el cheapo siakap.

"Mother's Day special" indeed.  If the food were fresh, I wouldn't be complaining about the price even though I know that it's leaning on the high side.

Next time, I'll leave it to my dad to decide on dinner - Sai Kong? Cheap and good. (lol) *family joke*
