~Strolling @ IOI Boulevard~

This was the relaxing Saturday when me and my sis were hunting for light food with my cousins and aunt around IOI Boulevard opposite of Puchong IOI mall. As we had no intention of cracking our brain over thinking what to have, we decided to saunter around this area. What we noticed that was there are many eateries around as well as in the IOI Boulevard. Here come the problem where it's kinda troublesome in deciding which ideal cafe to dine in without having any research or recommendation.

We spotted this Chinese restaurant~Tian Hoe Kitchen 天和阁.

When I stepped into the restaurant, I felt like there was kinda kopitiam style where old people used to have their coffee and chat like those days what I saw in my hometown when I was small.

We ordered a bowl of homemade fish balls just because of the big board which showed full of fish balls hanging at the entrance of the shop~ meaning they are famous with their handmade fish balls??? Perhaps, they should change the big board. >< Y I say so Not because their fish balls is bad but what I think they shouldn't make it as like they are famous with their fish ball. My comment on their fish ball= Just like usual fish ball.

Black glutinous rice porridge (Dessert)~ Just nice with their santan. ^^

Char Chu Cheong Fan instead of Char Koay Teow. Nice try !

My favourite fried dumpling 锅贴~ Recommended ! It was cute and small in size (smaller and expensive than what I get usually in Ipoh) but it was really perfectly served with ginger slices (optional).


We was totally attracted by this word>>> RT Bakery. This was the 2nd branch where I found after Subang ss15 branch.(Actually they have 3 branches) I love their bread and cakes. Although the prices are a bit sky-high(not that high la) but worth the quality.

$$$ worth & Scrumptious Dessert

Desserts corner beside the Petronas of Bdr. Puchong Jaya. There are varieties of Chinese desserts available there.Black sesame porridge, peanuts porridge..... Range of price from rm2~4.

Open only at weekend around 12pm until around 3pm (as long as all sold out). Most probably they will close very early. They have a lot of long term customers particularly residents over Bandar Puchong Jaya.

This is the best and cheap Honeydew melon sago dessert that I ever had at KL and Selangor area.

Juicy, riched of fibres, not that sweet and more and more sago. Only at rm 2. There are mango, water melon and strawberry flavour as well.

Soya, barley and Yuba dessert~ Yummy ! Barley was nicely cooked.

Special 莲子姜（LinJiGan~cantonese)~ rm4.

::Retrieve Memories of Those Days In Korea::

In my family, there is not only me who crazy for Korean stuffs, my cousin is enthusiastic toward Korean items as well more than ever~Korean Food ! That's the reason that Korean BBQ Daorae brought to our mind. Even though the nite was congested with heavy traffic jam outside, it was not our stumbling block that thwarted us from getting to one of the branches of this particular Korean Restaurant in Bdr. Puteri Puchong.



I was delighted to see these 2 pcs of endearing and adorable Korean tradisional kid costumes at the main entrance of the restaurant.

The environment inside was not that smoky as it was well-equipped with the oil-smoke extracting ventilation system for indoor BBQ.

Long time no see =) .....Korean style cutlery set....

My FAVOURITE Korean Seaweed Soup ! It is good for skin and in slimming. Ha!

A must for other ingredients like sesame oil, onion slices, garlic and Korean made spicy paste to have a perfect tradisional Korean way of eating.

We were needed to order 2 kinda meats among chicken, pork, beef or lamb to have our BBQ launch.

Pork Special(rm35)~Selected cuts of pork that is soft and tender, served with seasoned sesame oil sauce.

Those side dishes (refillable) consisted of sweet anchovies, Korean pancake, salads, kimchi, big head bean sprouts and etc....

LOVE their Korean fragrant rice~rm5 per bowl (WOW! Quite expensive)

Yang-nyum Dak-gal-bi(rm27)~Lean skinless chicken fillets marinated in their special soy sauce.

This is the way how Korean eat >>> Pick one piece of chicken or pork slice and dip it with any sauce or sesame oil, add a piece of onion/garlic/both and wrap with a pc of lettuce. Ready to gobble ...

Dak Maeun-tang (rm40) ~ Chicken chop,potato cube and fresh vegetables in spicy chicken breth.

It was kinda Korean curry which was just nice in the degree of spicy and not sour like laksa or tomyam. It was pretty large in portion where we gotta take away the rest that we were not able to finish it on the spot as we were fulled with the rest that I mentioned above.

We finished our dinner with so called~ rice beverage and juicy watermelons.....Total bill~rm123 for 4 persons.

Fantastic Breakfast ~ LeVain Boulangerie Patisserie

LeVain Boulangerie Patisserie is an ideal spot for breakfast, tea-time and gathering. It was fully occupied by customers in the sunny weekend morning when me and my housemate reached there. The cafe design is kinda cottage house style and there is a ample parking lots for customer cars. It is actually located near to the Prince Court Medical Centre.

There are smoking and non-smoking corner for those who wish to dine-in....

View of the main entrance....


All the breads are freshly bake daily~ You may have a look how they make their bread...


There were wide varieties of bun and bread available with fair enough prices around rm3.50-5...
Apart from bread, there were a list of beverages, salads, soups(pumpkin, tomato & mushroom soup), cakes and etc.... Hope to make a second visit to have a sip of their creamy mushroom chicksoup as hot menu includes salads, soups and etc only serve after 11am....


Their interior decor is so lovely~

::A Great Grand Gathering::

Time flies....7 weeks of hectic O&G posting was finally ended officially. As a reward to our hard works for these 7 weeks, we headed to Sunway Giza Shopping Mall, located at Kota Damansara for Tao Authentic Asian Cuisine (Japanese buffet). This is one of the famous among those Japanese buffet restaurants around KL and it is famous in Penang as well.

Besides getting a VIP waitress service who specialized in serving us(VIP~as we went in big group), we were pretty lucky to have 10% discount for our dinner as they are having early bird promotion now daily b4 7pm.


Interior decoration~Asian Japanese Style

After being brought to settle down at the VIP corner, we were being briefed the way of food serving at Tao. There are only 10% of food from their menu which are ready to be picked-up (self-service), we were needed to order the 90% choices of food that are available in their menu. 1st of all, they served us their TOP 10 famous dishes, but unfortunately we didn't have the chance to have a taste on their famous lamb chop.... haiz...because lamb was out of stock on that particular time. Below are some of the dishes that were served for us>>>


Osyters~ (learned from those guys on that day that these osyters may actually increase libido for male.) No wonder they eat so much !

Tempura ~ Nice one!


I love this scallops which come along the the special-made kinda mayonnaise-cheesy like sauce. Yummy!

Sashimi, Drunkened chicken, diff. kinda sushi....etc....



Abalone slices!

Unagi match with Taufu !

Shark fins mixed with egg...

We have tasted many types of fish with different ways of cooking....What I love the most is the Salmon fish still !

Desserts corner ~ Salad and Udon Togu are available as well....

Roasted and teppanyaki corner~

Look usual cashew nut rite? Riv and JoonThiam love the most because it tasted so nice and unique, different from what we get usually at restaurant or anywhere...



Conclusion~ The foods were good !
