I can't believe I haven't shared this with you!

Mum's Place is one of my favourite restaurant in Damansara. This place used to be so packed, you better have reservation or risk having to wait for a table. 

When I returned recently for lunch with my bffs from primary school, I was surprised to find the place so much less busy than I remembered. Good thing food was still delicious!

They serve halal Malaysian food and so you can find Malay, Nyonya, Portuguese, Chinese and Indian dishes. Typical dishes that Malaysian mums cook at home. Check out their menu here.

Note: Food is halal (Malay owner) but there's beer in the drinks menu to cater to the non-Muslims

Cendol (RM6.30)

Foo Yoong Tan - Chinese style omelette (RM15.80)

Kacang botol/ Four-angled Bean with Belacan (RM15.00)

Chicken Mayo (RM18.30)

Asam Pedas Parit Jawa Snapper (RM8.80 /100g)

Lemak Kuning Pedas Prawn (Regular - RM31.80)

Taste - OMG sedap. Can't beat mom's cooking but good enough

Price - Some might think pricey but the food is sedap so it becomes WORTH IT! Suitable to entertain business guests or family & friends.

Ambiance - Aircond, furniture gallery-like restaurant.

Overall 4 <3<3<3<3 of 5

Dynazty Kitchen, Elite Avenue

I found this place on Facebook. From the reviews, I found that it is a newly opened halal restaurant. A decent, halal restaurant can be quite hard to find in Penang. Most of the fancy cafes and restaurants are, at best, pork free. I was looking forward to dine here, especially after  reading the glowing 'delicious food' reviews on the page.

Taste - Disappointing

Price - RM62.30 for 2 pax

Ambiance - New, air-cond space. Love the red bricks.

Asam boi and longan drinks

Seafood fried rice- disappointing <3<3

Salted egg yolk prawn - disappointing <3<3

Veggie something <3<3

Maybe it wasn't my lucky day. I didn't get any delicious food, not even the salted egg yolk prawn raved by many. So I was really disappointed and even though they were generous with prawns in my seafood fried rice, I don't think that the bland taste justify the price. 

However, the set meals are priced more competitively at RM12.80 (inclusive of drink, soup and rice) so you might want to order one of those instead if you decide to dine here.

Do share your experience. Maybe you'll be more lucky than I was ;)

I can't believe that I've never shared this place with you guys! I mean, I know it's already famous but what's the harm in sharing a good thing, right?

This simple place next to Sunway Giza serves delicious Chinese cooking. No fancy decor but the food are omigoshly delicious!

If you're going for dinner, I advise you to call the number above and make a reservation. Oh, in Ramadhan it can be very hard to get a reservation for breaking fast especially on weekends. You CAN however, tarpao you buka puasa dish :) Call the same number (or the one on their Ramadhan banner) around 4 pm and place your order!

China Muslim Restaurant (CLOSED)

Taste - Tasty! <3<3<3

Price - RM68.60 for 2 pax

Ambiance - simple Oriental

It's quite easy to find this restaurant. Look for Hotel Seri Malaysia. Next to it, there's Uptown Bayan Baru. There are some new shops (Quartermile Bayan Baru) opposite and that's where CMR is. Plenty of parking available.

Mind you, the menu we got was in Malay & Chinese. Do ask for help if you need translation.

We ordered cincau drinks and a glass of lime + asamko, which turned out to be plain ole limau ais with asam boi.

Fried squid or the sotong goreng rangup - <3<3<3

Vegetarian shark fin soup <3<3<3

Crispy fried fish with chili or ikan goreng rangup bercili - <3<3<3<3

Udang besar goreng or the fried prawn - <3<3<3<3

My favourites are the prawn and crispy fish. Let me know yours!

Qing Fang Noodle House

Hye all!

Last chance to iftar with friends or family at some fancy restaurants~

Or maybe you are already in raya mode and not in the mood to cook.

Why not eat something delicious?

Qing Fang Noodle House is situated in Platinum Walk, KL. Very near Danau Kota. Click here to see their FB. If you want to break fast here, please call and reserve a table. Place your order as well so you don't have to wait long for your food.

Taste - #iLove

Price - Fair. They have sets and the portion is generous.

Ambiance - Comfortable. It was packed and yet I didn't feel 'suffocated'. 

Note that they'll be closed for raya. 

Got a table inside yay!

Already in kampung? It's okay. Drop by after raya for some delicious Chinese cuisines. No butter prawn, soft shell crab stuff here as their specialty is ramen BUT... their offerings are delicious.

If you come during busy period, expect some delay and mix up but please stay cool. The staff were very helpful and I could see that they were really trying their best to serve. What they lacked in experience, they made up by being accommodating and courteous.

We ordered this set as it was a full house :)

Sour plum herbal tea. Refreshing and yummy! <3<3<3

Unlimited =D

Vege Mushroom Fried Ramen

Braised Fish with Brown Sauce <3<3<3

Kung Pao Chicken <3<3

Spicy Prawn <3<3<3

I had a love-hate short relationship with the spicy prawn dish. The fries to be exact. Love the taste but they were somewhat too salty and yet I love the saltiness but... ah you gotta go taste it yourself.

The fruit platter was a big plate of red watermelon (sorry I forgot to take pic. Was already eating when the fruit platter arrived), more than enough for 6 pax. We also ordered extra drinks (totally unnecessary) and a small plate of fried lotus. We had a debate whether lotus is a vegetable or flower. I said 'flower' and tried a piece of fried lotus. It's nice but I still prefer chicken.

Fried lotus <3

Eh seriously this is a good place to eat. Boleh bawa bakal mak mentua and if she's fussy like my mom, you can tell her that this place was featured on Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan ;)
