Makan Kitchen, Double Tree by Hilton, KL

Been here many times, during trainings and also one of the company events.

the Makan Kitchen offers splendid local cuisines 

and classy dining ambience

it has both private corners

and open areas

this picture was taken during early of the year, hence the CNY decorations

And here are the foodies (pictures taken on separate occasions)

steamed bun (bao) and rice dumplings

roasted duck and chicken 'Chinese style'

can't remember what is this, but some sort of fried popiah or pastries (I think!)

assorted local kuihs

puddings, soy bean milk, red bean 'tongsui' and chilled sweet longan 'tongsui'

 this is the Chinese cuisine corner

 what's on my plate, this one taken from the Chinese food corner. The bowl on the top left is daikon soup.

 this plate was from the Malay food corner

 and the below was from the Indian food corner

on certain days, they served Yong Tau Foo too...

I had second helping on YTF as well as the roasted duck, pei pa chicken & black fungus vegetarian dish!

BON APPETIT!

Naengmyeon & Pajeon

Yes, the same ol' place that I went for my Korean food fix...

 Mi NaRae!

I was having all 3-in-1 meal that early evening....

So there goes my feast!

cold noodles - Naengmyeon

it was so refreshing eating this noodles with cold sourish soup...there were a few huge cubes of ice served in the soup too...

and Korean pancake - Pajeon

I had this seafood Pajeon all by myself....but I overestimate my stomach capacity...had to 'tapau' back after eating 2 pieces.

Summer Palace @ Putrajaya Marriott Hotel

This is the fourth time we dined in Marriott, Putrajaya.

Me & teammates have been to Zest, Tuscany, Midori and now the latest addition to our list: Summer Palace!

It is a classy Chinese restaurant that serves Cantonese style cuisines & dim sum.

 Yes, it was on company (team lunch) budget!

 we had our lunch on a quiet Tuesday noon....hence the restaurant was so empty

there were 13 of us and we booked the private room which fits us nicely and comfortably

the menu 

 this is supposed to be our 'sau gong jau', hence we had 'lou sang'

 it seems like too early for tossing yee sang, nevertheless we enjoyed it so much....

we had salmon and crispy fish skin yee sang....and finished the whole plate clean!

here's the crab meat soup

 roasted chicken with sauce

 prawns

 steamed fish in soy sauce

 braised shitake mushroom, broccoli and fish maw

overview of the colourful dishes

 and for desserts - we had chilled lemon, longan and sea coconut sweet soup

 and osmanthus jelly with red bean pancake

This lunch is around RM139 per pax inclusive of services charges and tax.

BON APPETIT!

Genting Members' Night

Over the years, I occasionally got 'invited' from Genting to join their members' night.

It is some sort of Chinese banquet meal with performances for 68GP (somewhere there, can't remember!)

It was a Mid-Autumn Festival then, so I thought of taking leave to feast at hilltop :-)

there goes our food

Starter - just like any Chinese banquet dinner, mostly are fried finger foods such as prawn fritter,  assorted fish/seafood ball/meatball....and some cold jelly fish salad,

with some auspicious name given to this dish

this is NOT shark-fin soup

roasted chicken with prawn crackers

thai style steamed fish

and the star of the day - abalone!

glutinous rice wrapped in leaves

just so-so only!

and desserts - mooncakes for Mid-Autumn festival!

ermmm….can't remember what is this, something with melon (aih, my memory failed!)

on my plate: abalone, the tiny weeny size....served with mushrooms, bok choy, beancurd skin

the 'leng luis' (pretties) dancing on the stage

 The event ended at 9:30pm+

After then, went to casino to gamble look at people gamble

and then back to room zZZZzzz.

Nope, not Maxims, Genting Grand nor Crockfords, just the usual Resort Hotel (3-star)

 but the view is incredible

the hills are 'alive'

the next day, had this curry noodles in the foodcourt

and roasted pork rice also from the foodcourt…

sharing the meal with my mum

and well, took the cable car down the hill...

this is the older cable car...it no longer in operation.

(*ah.....forgot to tell u that these are old photo back in 2016!)

I kinda miss the old cable car

the route taken to mid-hill is longer but u get to enjoy the greeneries

and the colorful gondolas roof!

this was my final 'old' cable car ride before it ceased operation the following year.

Birthday Cake for Dec 'Babies'

2/3 of my team have birthday in Dec, hence we celebrated it 'one shot' with a cake...

This chocolate cake was a treat from my team leader. I only had a small piece of it after cutting the cake and distributing them to all team members, nevertheless I enjoyed it very much, coz seldom I get to blow off candles with my colleagues.

BON APPETIT!!!

Nando's @ IOI City Mall, Putrajaya

Again, back in the year end of 2016, we had series of makan-makan to finish off our budget allocation.

 And we went to Nando's

they have dining tables of various sizes and shapes - oval, round, square, rectangle....to suit the group/individual dinings

And at one pillar, the Peri-peri sauces all arranged neatly for customers to add-on to their meal, ranging from herbs to extremely hot....

our drinks....

Designer drinks....Citrus Iced Tea, Tropical Fruitea, Sparkling Apple (can't remember which is which!)

and here is my order - Espetada (tender marinated chicken thighs and fresh peppers, served on a skewer)

Taste good, I had the mild flavor but add-on with some Peri-peri sauces from the bottles.
