Wanting to both try all the different restaurants on Jalan Bangkung, as well as celebrate J’s birthday before he gets to busy this month, Sara and I decided to bring J to Opus Bistro, an Italian place serving good food and wine on a road that had 3 different shops serving the same. Ironically, I have been to the other two on birthday celebrations as well

Anyways, the food was good! Very good! I loved almost everything except the Oreo Cheese Cake which I thought was way bellow par. The Lamb cutlets were succulent, the seafood pasta (the dish that made them famous) is to rave for and the roasted cod was very tasty. My only comment is that the portions are so small for the price you are paying! I ordered the large pasta which was Rm36 and it looked so small! Sigh.

Ever since Loretta brought me to this place, I have been wanting to bring Sara there, and since Sara and I needed to go to the Suzuki Showroom, that day was today. We arrived at about 1:20pm and the place was not really crowded. We got a window seat and ordered as we enjoyed the view of Bangsar from above.

The food arrived quickly, and since I was hungry, it all tasted great. The Mushroom, Avacado and Pesto Roll was amazing! I liked the Spaghetti Bolognese as well, but Sara said that was the one item we ordered that brought down the rating for her. I drank a Mint and Ginger Tea which was very refreshing and Sara drank a fresh fruit mix called Zero Thirst which contained Watermelon, Ginger and Mint. For dessert we had the bread and butter pudding, scrumpsious.

The cost? Hmmm. This is when it gets a little steep.

Spegetti Rm19.00
Roll        Rm16.00
Pudding Rm9.90
Zero Thirst Rm9.00
Tea  Rm 7.50

Grand total with service charge RM67.55

Just opposite  1 Sentral, the home of PWC in KL, we have one of the best authentic Chettinad foods KL has to offer. This place servers a variety of curries and briyani on Banana leaf at an affordable price. The taste is superb, the quality of food, mouth watering. I strongly recommend this place for lunch

yes, now a review of the Restaurant we ate at Sue Kheng’s Birthday bash. We had a big group that day, 16 people, and hence we managed to try loads of different stuff from the menu. Its basicly a spanish restaurant serving a variety of Pasta, Fish and meat dishes. I had the steak, with wine sauce, which i must say is to die for. Sara had a seafood Piella, which was ok, and we shared an Ox Tail Soup, which was good too. Others had a variey of different things from pasta to fish, which was generally quite good. The meats were the best though, I must say. Service was a little slow, but to their defence, we were a huge group and they had a full house. Price was reasonable.

Looking for somewhere to eat your breakfast in KLCC? Today Sara and I decided to eat at Hoca Specialty Coffee, just before you reach the LRT station entrance of KLCC. Its famous for its Kampung Nasi Lemak, which I must say is very good. I saw the staff preparing an Omelette and I couldn’t resist. The food was good, the nasi lemak better than the Omlette though. Not cheap however.

Kampung Nasi Lemak :- RM3.70
Omelette Set               :-RM9.90
Ice Tea                        :-RM5.10
Mocha Java Hot           :-RM2.00

Total after Tax :- RM21.74
