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 >.<


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

Black Canyon Coffee
12 12th, 2008

I was browsing through my photos when I realized that I’ve not written a post about this. It was some time ago when my friend and I were looking for places to have dinner in Jusco Bukit Tinggi when we popped into Black Canyon Coffee because I’ve never seen it before. At first I thought this was a place like Starbucks and CoffeeBean which primarily serve drinks and sandwiches/salads/pastries. Boy was I wrong.

 

They have special set menus for Lunch and Dinner. RM9.90++ for a main dish and one drink. RM12.95++ for a main dish and soup and dessert (1 scoop of icecream). They also have Family Set A (for 2 people) at RM24.90++ and Family Set B (for 4 people) at RM39.90++

We had the Family Set A (for 2 people) which includes Spicy Tuna Salad, Chicken Tom Yum Soup, Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts and 2 steamed rice. My friend had a coke and I had iced milk tea.


They have really comfortable sofas scattered all over the restaurant and also proper dining tables and chairs.

The milk iced tea was soooo good. Milky without being too overpowering and not too sweet either. I forgot how much it was exactly but I do remember it being a bit pricier then usual.

The rice came served in rectangle blocks on square plates. I thought it looked so cute! This is the mix vegetables we had to replace the spicy tuna salad – because I didn’t feel like eating spicy food.

This is the Chicken Tomyam we had. It was full of chicken slices and soupy. It was not too spicy nor too thick. Even though it looks a bit watery, fear not because its not watered down at all. The chicken with cashewnuts was also very nice with generous cashewnuts. It seems like they fried the chicken pieces before stir frying it with the other ingredients.

Interestingly enough, we did not have any of their coffees. But the food was good and quite reasonably priced. They also have an outlet in Centerpoint, Damansara and the food standard is the same in that outlet as well.
