Bread and Olive @ Ampang Look Out Point, Jalan Ampang – Hulu Langat
Aug 14th
Fancy a dining place where you can enjoy an open environment with cool breeze and amazing view? Then Ampang Look Out Point is the place to be. Located on a hill top, it is no doubt one of the most unique and coolest place you can ever be in KL. It features a look out point tower for visitors to enjoy an breathtaking unobstructed view of Kuala Lumpur with a few restaurants great for gatherings and meals.
The best time to reach there would be sometime before the sun sets for safety (road leading to the place is winding and dark with no lights) and parking reasons. We spent 1.5 hours alone to reach Look Out Point from Kepong due to the horrible traffic jam at Jalan Ampang so it’s advisable to take other routes if possible like via MRR2. We reached around 7.15pm and this was the view as seen from the look out point tower. Too bad it was a little hazy that day.
This is the look out point tower as mentioned. Climb up for the best panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur.
Restaurants here like Haven and Gasoline serve mostly Western and local cuisine with the exception of Bread and Olive, which serves Mediterranean Fusion cuisine. Haven is the latest restaurant to open here. They took over the previous restaurant’s location, did some renovation and launched about nine months ago. Click here to continue reading >
Express Teppanyaki @ Food Republic, Pavilion
Aug 10th
Express Teppanyaki is located around Food Republic at Pavilion and they serve some pretty good teppanyaki. Set menus consisting of a pan fried meat, bean sprouts, vegetable, rice and soup start from RM15. After hearing some good things about them, we decided to have our lunch there one weekend.
Customers sit around the iron plate and get to enjoy watching the chefs prepare the food skillfully. Food aside, this has got to be the biggest attraction of teppanyaki.
After placing your orders, a piece of aluminum foil will be placed in front to put the meat and vegetables. Vegetable is fried first, followed by the meat and bean sprouts last.
Chicken Teppanyaki stir fried with chili flavored sauce.
And Sirloin Steak Teppanyaki – tender and bite sized meaty chunks with amazing flavor. I don’t know what type of sauce was used to fry the meat but it certainly wasn’t something normal. It was aromatic with black pepper and goes very well with rice.
Express Teppanyaki is one of the better teppanyaki I have come across that didn’t need to be in a classy Japanese restaurant. Very recommended. Price wise it’s affordable as long as no seafood is ordered.

Halal Seafood and Crab @ Bangsar Seafood Garden Restaurant, One Bangsar
Jul 31st
Thanks to KampungBoyCityGal, I got to tag along for an invited dinner at Bangsar Seafood Garden Restaurant. It is a HALAL classy seafood restaurant that have catered for numerous company events, family functions and banquets. Residents staying within the vicinity of Bangsar should know this place well, it’s located in One Bangsar just opposite TMC.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Ivy for the first time. After a brief introduction to Bangsar Seafood Garden, food was served immediately. A menu was designed specially for the eight of us, which consisted of none other than, plenty of seafood. For your information the dishes’ portions were prepared according to the number of attending guests.
Loh Han Vegetables (Luo Han Zhai) @ RM40, a vegetarian dish cooked with mainly mushroom and dried beancurd in soy sauce then served in a circle of broccoli.
I have mentioned before that I would love to try Cod Fish in a different way other than always having it steamed. I got to try it that day and I loved it, perhaps even more than the steamed version. Click here to continue reading >
Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa @ Kampung Baru, KL
Jul 28th
Mention Nasi Lemak and Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa @ Kampung Baru is surely one of the places to come into mind. It’s quite possibly one of the most recognized nasi lemak establishment in KL too. Their business so successful they have ventured into franchising now, with branches available at Bangsar, TTDI and Kota Damansara as well.
Despite the many bad comments especially about the quality of food served and service at Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa, I still wanted to give it a try for its legendary status. After trying, I have satisfied my curiosity and concluded that their nasi lemak is not quite as legendary anymore. Don’t get me wrong though, I am not saying it’s bad. Perhaps it was much better back in the days. Click here to continue reading >
