Located in Millennium Square PJ, Piccadilly’s is a great shop to hangout. The food is nice and the price is ok. They have like more than 200 foods and drinks listed on the menu ranging from Westerns, Italians, Indians, Chinese and of course Local delights. We have been going to Piccadilly’s for quite number of times already, but only recently took pictures of the food we ordered.

Tandori Chicken
Tandoori Chicken (RM5.00) – quarter of chicken marinated in red colored spices. Nice but nothing special about it. Served with mint sauce and some veggies.

Spicy Fried Calamari
Spicy Fried Calamari (RM9.00) – deep fried calamari served with Thais chili sauce, my girl said not as nice as the prawn fritter. As for me it doesn’t deserves a “spicy” title if it only meant to be dipped in the chili sauce.

Cream of Mushroom
Cream of Mushroom (RM3.00) – a bowl of mushroom soup that comes with a piece of toasted bread which is (I quote from my girl) “TAK SEDAP”. I don’t really know what to comments as I hate creamy soup.

Mutton Beriyani
Mutton Beriyani (RM9.90) – I ordered this to try the mutton and apparently it’s quite nice. A bowl of mutton beriyani with beriyani rice plus half of boiled egg and some veggies. I’m quite disappointed that they don’t allow us to order only the mutton as it only served as a set. Too bad I can’t have it with naan.

Baked Seafood
5. Baked Seafood (RM10.90) – my girl ordered this is and from the first scoop of it, it’s noticeable that the dish is rich with cheese. I mean REALLY RICH. It’s like you’re having pieces of seafood in cheese >.< but I wonder why didn’t they served it with (garlic) bread instead it was served with French fries and veggies.

ABC SpecialPeach Banana Split

For desserts, ABC Special (RM4.00) for my girl and Peach Banana Split (RM6.90) for me

As for the drinks my girl ordered a (so-so) Peppermint Paddy (RM7.90) and Mango Pimlico (RM4.90) – more of a dessert than a drink – for me. Sorry no images of those. Oh, and they charge RM0.50 for iced/warm water.

So all and all, the food is nice, the environment is nice and the price also nice. I would suggest this shop you to give it a try. Keep in mind that even though I mention that some of the food is not really nice, it is only based on our taste buds and well u still have more than 200 choices to choose from >.<


Indian Kitchen @ Bangsar
08 10th, 2009

I’ve been craving for some Palak Paneer so I suggested to my fren that we eat in Indian Kitchen, a small place that serves northern and southern indian dishes tucked in the middle of Jalan Telawi 3 amongst the rows of bars and cafes.

We went around early afternoon and thus, the restaurant was quite empty because the lunch crowd hasn’t came yet. We decided to order a few items off the menu after asking the helpful waiter to explain the dishes.

Garlic Naan (RM4) & Cheese Naan (RM5) - The naan here is not round (like in some mamak shops) but in a big tear/pear shape. Not that it makes a difference actually. I like that it doesn’t taste ‘floury’.

Mango Lassi (RM7) – Its quite thick and yellow. Full of mango taste and slightly sour. I thought it was quite nice – tho better if it was colder. Fren didnt like it tho.

White Rice (RM3) - A bowl of white rice. A bit expensive. No free refills (its not a banana leaf shop after all)


Palak Panner (RM14) – Spinach mashed and cooked with goat’s cheese. This dish is creamy, almost like a soup and is excellent for dipping naan in.


Chicken Tikka (RM 14) - Boneless Tandoori Chicken. This one was nice. The marinade was flavored with spices and was slightly spicy. The meat was tender and juicy


Mutton Rohan Josh (RM18) - As you can see, its a really creamy sauce with chucks of mutton inside. This was not spicy (even tho we did ask for it to be spicy) and the sauce was really good. What I didn’t like was the mutton appeared to hv been cooked separately, then just tossed in the sauce. So the mutton tasted bland.

All in all, the food was pretty good. Well except that the mutton was a bit of a disappointment lah. The ambiance was also nice. I liked how there was a aircon and non-aircon area. Also, there wasn’t the overwhelming smell of food even tho they had an open kitchen (separated from the eating area by a clear partition). The waiters were also helpful to explain the items on the menu because they weren’t any descriptions.

I think we will be coming here again. Oh yes, after some googling, i found out that you can actually order items off the menu if the owner – Shiva – is around.

Indian Kitchen Restaurant
NO 15 Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, KL.


There’s this shop next to Sushi Zanmai in One Utama that is rather like a grocery store. After some digging around, i found that the shop is called Shojikiya – The Japanese Food Specialty Store.

They were selling their ice cream at RM5.90 each for any selection. They also have family packs (bigger packs of the icecream). G and I popped in the other day to have some icecream.


G had the Blueberry Cheesecake Flavoured ‘Cake stick’ and I had the Fish shaped wafer icecream (Click for bigger pics)

The Cake Stick is ‘cheesecake’ flavoured iced confectionary with some blueberry jam inside it. Its not smooth milk based icecream but rather a frozen type of icecream, like frozen yogurt or something. Quite nice though I find it a bit weird to have artificially flavoured cheesecake icecream.

I had this fish-shaped icecream. Its a soft wafer molded in a fish shape. Inside is white vanilla icecream with a layer of red beans at the bottom of it. Its really good. Not too sweet and not too much icecream or too much red beans. I would really buy this again. This icecream is sold in Sushi King for almost rm10!

We also took the opportunity to browse through their small shop. They have so much stuff there ranging from plum drinks, little sweet cookies, cake mix (you know, like those Betty Crocker stuff), chocolate, sweets and of course ice cream. Will check out more of the other products later
