Voila Hotel - Dinner, Day 16 & 17

Day 16

Weekend passed so fast and soon it was Monday again....

My mood no longer blue and I was jolly seeing this colorful dish on my plate of noodles.

Ratatouille and sweet & sour dory fish on top of my big plate of noodles.

Dinner was.....curry chicken. It was served with the usual diluted dhal soup & sour pickles.

*but according to their menu, it was written as 'Tandoori chicken'~~puzzled

 

Day 17

On Tuesday, i had breaded mashed potato with carrots, chicken breasts and baguette

and dinner was Korean Spicy Squid rice

it was superb with just mild spiciness...

BON APPETIT!

Voila Hotel - Dinner, Day 13, 14 & 15

continuation of previous post...

 Day 13

 It was Friday, and lunch at the office cafeteria was rice with stir-fried okra, dhal and Mauritian chayote dish

back in the hotel, dinner was Thai Green Curry Chicken

 

Day 14

 I skipped lunch on Saturday coz I had heavy brunch in the morning.

Meanwhile dinner was Cuban Stewed Chicken.

My first time trying Cuban dish and it was good!

 

Day 15

Me & colleague went out to the nearby Bagatelle mall for lunch on Sunday coz I was craving for some Chinese food!

 So off we went to 'Yum Cha' restaurant.

Menu was simple with basic food choices such as chicken rice, roasted duck rice, siu mai, prawn dumpling, Chinese noodles....nothing fancy.

I ordered the set meal which consists of roasted duck rice and prawn dumplings. Rp375 (~RM44) for this set!
The rice portion is huge but presentation-wise and taste-wise still far beyond standard compared to our Chinese roasted duck rice meal. Well, can't expect much when it is prepared by their locals.

For dinner, I ordered ala carte fried stuffs as starter

and for the main meal - Curry Fish Rice
just passable only coz the gravy was slightly bitter (not sure what caused it, could be the spices~)

BON APPETIT!

Maxims Hotel, Genting Highlands



Beautiful sight....don't u tink so?

Every now & then, i would go up the hill to gamble....lepak!

Well, yours truly is a member of....ahemm....Uncle Lim's empire and occasionally got invited with free rooms/gaming/vouchers.

Anyhow, since i rarely gamble, i only went up to 'claim' my free gift...

 and to jalan jalan makan angin.....yes it was windy and cold up there....

and be mesmerised by the mini cooper cars...How i wish i could win this!

The Sky Avenue nowadays has a lot of attraction that is so tempting...

such as...

*drooling over the cakes

and back then it was nearing CNY, hence u get to see lotsa red lanterns and fake cherry blossoms decorating the First World Lobby.

Anyway, during one of my visits, i did not stay at my free First World Hotel 'standard room', but instead 'tumpang' stay at Maxims....

At the check-in lobby, it was decorated with colorful flowers and these are real!

so harmonious

so eye-soothing...

Well, this hotel is tastefully designed, even the corridor is so modern looking

but the rooms are just so-so, it was kinda dark with grey/turquoise interior

in the room, it has a coffee machine with capsules provided, various types of tea and sugar

mini fridge

huge tv screen with multiple channels

 i could just sit there and laze in front of tv whole day

the shower area

usual soaps and shampoo

even the basin has 2 water taps

the view from room... 

it was cloudy and cold, but i like this view

by nite, i went out clubbing looking at luxurious cars

Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche all lining up the street!

must be some rich brat went clubbing nearby

sexy ladies....shhhhh.....i just pass by only...

it was midnite and people partying like there is no tomoro....and some interesting dances on the stage too!



Johnny Rockets

Sometime last year, we had our team lunch in Johnny Rockets, IOI City Mall

 the restaurant is located next to The Symphony lake.

Despite the indoor air-cond place, it was still warm during the afternoon due to the glass wall.

The interior is so retro that brings u back to the 60s

Quite empty during a weekday lunch

The menu

a sneak preview of the menu

Here's my float

and my burger set - huge burger (with bacons), fries and salads

The burger doesn't look impressive here but it was HUGE (similar to Carl's Jr size)

and for sharing, we had onion rings, sweet potato fries & buffalo wings

The online menu is available here.



Sepiring, IOI City Mall

  yes, this place is famous for its curry....

if u r craving for curry noodles with thick santan...then this is the place!

 they even have the word 'curry' on their slogan!

 can u guess what is this?

 Hint: u can find the keyword in one of the menu below

 since Curry is their core....I tried their curry on my first visit

the ingredients consist of a few pieces 'char-siu like chicken' (barbequed chicken), shrimp wonton, taupok & long beans. Just look at the fiery red and creamy curry gravy.....so tempting!

and yes, it taste absolutely GOOD!

 On my second visit, I came with the team, I had spicy smoked beef pasta. It's not spicy but have a pungent lemongrass with the 'masak lemak' taste in its gravy

 we also ordered ala-carte 'keropok lekor' with a discounted price (for every 3 main meals ordered per table will be entitled to order this at discounted price)

 a colleague had this jumbo chicken nasi lemak set which comes with an entire chicken leg! 

meanwhile another colleague ordered the Hainanese chicken rice set

and during one of the promotion, we were entitled with a complimentary assam laksa coz our orders exceeded RM50 (if not mistaken, can't remember!).

Everyone tried a lil' on the assam laksa. It was spicy and sour to the extreme! Well, luckily it is shared. Can't imagine the consequences if it is eaten solo.

Bon Appetit!
