Zestful Eats

I’ve read about this bakery/cafe from Rebecca’s site some time ago. Its a pretty country house style bakery that has a huge Stone Oven outside. Actually come to think of it, its a pretty easy to miss if you don’t know where to look.

See, pretty right? (pic frm Rebecca’s blogpost)

Yea so anyway, Their pastries seem to be finishing, I guess cause it was 6 pm so I decided to get a sandwich instead. Ordered a Teriyaki Beef Baguette (RM 10.50).

The bun was nicely toasted and not too hard. The beef was tender and in strips and juicy. It was cooked with onions then paired with tomatoes and lettuce. It came with freshly fried wedges.

So after having a problem on where to eat, we decide to go to Italiannies at The Gardens. As its name, it is an Italian theme restaurant that serve Italian food (duh >.<). They have an “open air” style seating outside the restaurant and plenty of seats inside.

The restaurant setting is (as quoted from my girl) nice, romantic and high class. Oh and quiet too, nice place to have a romantic dinner but be sure to ask table further away from their kitchen.

Anyway after we seated, complimentary bread with olive oil plus balsamic vinegar was served. The bread was nice, seems that they baked it fresh daily. Was asking my girl whether do we have pay for it or not if we decide not to eat there XD Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been wanting to drop by at this sandwich bar ever since I had their awesome beef sandwich in their KLIA outlet last year. G and I were in Ikano to go to the Pos Office to send some packages (that didn’t get sent because the P.O. closed at 5pm instead of 6pm for ramadhan).

They are currently having this promotion on some sandwiches. Its now only RM11.90 for a Sandwich + Norwegian Coffee or Hot Tea – either Earl Grey, Jasmine Green Tea, English Breakfast Tea, Pure peppermint Tea, Pure Camomile Tea or Darjeeling Tea.

There are four sandwiches you can choose from:

> Dancing Chicken with Mushroom – Healthy brown bread, mushroom, smoked chicken breast, mayo relish, salad, tomatoes, cucumbers and alfalfas
> Herby Rosemary Roasted Chicken – Healthy brown bread, rosemary chicken, oregano butter, lollo bionda, mix salad, sliced cheese, cucumbers & tomatoes
> Swimiming salmon - Healthy brown bread, salmon, cream cheese, lettuces, asparagus, red onions, cucumbers & alfalfas
> BBQ Bugwich – Healthy brown bread, chicken burger, BBQ mayo, lollo bionda, mix salad, tomatoes, onions and ketchup sauce

Plus, you can add RM 3 for Fresh Juice or a Pastry

I had the Herby Rosemary Roasted Chicken. Its a nice blend of chicken and rosemary. G didn’t really like the rosemary taste because its too strong for her so she got the Dancing Chicken with Mushroom. Equally nice.

And for only RM11.90, its such a steal! They also have a Ramadhan Delight Sandwich (RM11 + Hot Tea) with Mayo, lollo bionda, mix salads, roast beef, tomato, onions, blackpepper sauce & alfalfa.

p/s: one thing I dont like about the Ikano branch is that, its a Sandwich Bar, and yet there are no sinks to wash your hands in

I had an interview at The Gardens today so I brought Gladys along because she hasn’t been to The Gardens. Anyway, we decided to have tea at The Yogi Tree. Their tag line is “real food cafe & yoga boutique”. Its a really nice cozy corner restaurant with ample sofas and comfortable seats and tables.

We had the Afternoon Tea Set (RM38.00). The tea set includes a pot of tea, scones with cream and jam, a cake and sandwiches. We had a pot of Rosehip tea – a reddish tinted slightly sourish tea. They were out of scones so we had to choose between an additional dessert of our choice or more sandwiches. We chose the sandwiches.

G chose the Chocolate Truffle Cake which was an awesome awesome rich chocolatey cake. It was moist and creamy. Its served with some clotted cream. Sorry for the bad cake picture coz we were hungry and attacked it before remembering to snap a picture.

This is the yummy sandwiches we got. This is a double portion (due to the fact that they were out of scones). The open faced sandwiches are with salmon with some kinda really nice sauce which I can’t really put my finger on. The other sandwiches are chicken with something like pesto. Absolutely delish!

Yogi Tree has a 10% Service charge on top of the prices. It was a good RM41.80 spent on tea with my sister. A bit pricy but so yummy

There’s this place that I really like to go and eat when I’m in One Utama. Its Zuup Soup Bar. Its somewhere on the Ground floor next to Bee’s Bakery. I don’t know why this place is always so quiet and looks like it has no customers everytime I’m there, but don’t be fooled! The food is delicious!

I ordered the Seafood Clam Chowder in Bread Bowl (RM11.90) As you can see, its served in a huge bun that has been hollowed out. Its a creamy rich soup with croutons (cubes of fried bread) on top. It also has a lot of clam, potatoes and other great veggies.

I was there with my youngest sister and she ordered the set. It RM9.90 as well which consisted of ham and cheese toasted sandwich with salad on the side and Pink Guava juice.

Even though its a soup bar, they also serve other food such as Wild Mushroom Cappucino (RM6.90), Minestrone Soup (RM6.90), Pan Seared Dory with Angel Hair Pasta and Cheddar Garlic Sauce (RM17.90), Rack of Lamb with Rosemary and Mint Sauce (RM20.90). Prices might differ slightly.

I feel hungry just writing about it. Hehe! Sadly not many people know of this yummylicious place! Go and check it out.

I was hanging out in Jusco Bukit Raja Tinggi and decided to eat in PastaMania. Its this fast food eating place which serves Pasta.

There have many different types of appetisers, pasta, baked rice, lasagne, pizzas and desserts. They even have vegetarian pastas for those who don’t eat meat.

We ordered Combo C (RM4.90) with Garlic Bread and a 16oz drink. Then he ordered a Beef Lasagna (RM14.90) while I had a Mussels & Clams Pasta (Rm15.90).

The food was pretty good and is in reasonable portions. There are two other outlets. One in Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur and another in Gurney Plaza (Penang). I’m not sure if there are any more, do tell me if there is
