Zestful Eats

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

I love this place, especially in the evenings. Its like a kedai mamak but I like the setting there. Its very airy with loads of seats and tables. We used to play Catan (a type of board game) a lot there.

One of the cheapest places to eat in the Curve – if you don’t mind mamak food that is.

We had 2 sets of roti bakar (RM3.80), one Teh Ais (RM2.00), one Kopi O Panas (RM1.30) and one Teh O Ais (RM1.70). Total bill was RM9.68

Ikea cafe is a place where I always stop by, especially after walking around window shopping in Ikea. The food is cheap and nice.

Hotdogs (free relish, ketchup, chilli sauce & mustard) = RM 2 each
Soft drink (refillable) = RM 1.50 each
Vanilla Icecream = RM1 each

Their curry puffs are also very nice, fluffy pastry and with eggs inside. So drop by if you’re in the area

This shop recently opened in Ikano sometime late last year offering steamboat. Each table is specially made with a small electric stove in front of each seat. You then have a choice of tomyam soup or clear soup.

In the picture above, the bottom left is our combo set of raw food. The round metal bowls are filled with soup and heated from below using the electric stove. The bowl on the top is the additional Tong Fu Zhu we ordered.

We had the Combo Set for two people (RM29.80) which has cabbage, prawns, mee, taufu, fishballs, sliced fish, crab sticks,foo chuk, etc. Then we ordered additional Yong Fu Zhu – its this foo chuk thingy with some minced fish which is deep fried (RM2.80). Then we also had Fried Seafood Taufu (RM4.00) and 3 glasses of Herbal Tea (RM6.00).
Bill came up to a total of RM42.60.

Food is fresh. Nothing that smells or tastes funny. The tomyam soup was extreamly pedas though. The clear soup is just basic stock. According to the menu, there are a few different types of sets, especially the individual ones where you can chose to have lamb, salmon, prawns and all sort of other meat.

Yey! I finally had a chance to eat at Carl’s Jr after it opened so many many months back. Went to One Utama to jalan2 for a bit and was looking for dinner when my fren decided to eat at Carl’s, especially after he found out that I haven’t eaten there yet.

The burgers are humongous! Yea I know, I’m like the last person to find out about that Anyway, I had the guacamole bacon burger (just the burger) and he had the large set (some burger + large fries + large drink). And the bill came up to about 40 bucks but with free refill for drinks and pickles.

My verdict : Very filling and huge burgers, but a little pricy so its good for an occasional indulgence but not something I’ll eat often.

Its in One Utama, in the old wing on the same floor as Genki Sushi
