Lunch @ DucKing Restaurant, Jaya One, Jalan Universiti, Petaling Jaya

Another place that you can enjoy delicious roasted duck with an elegant and air-conditioned restaurant. This restaurant is famous for their duck. DucKing is a Chinese cuisine and it's non-halal. The place is suitable for family dinner where you can bring over your parents and relatives to enjoy the food here. Looking at their menu, they have offer various type of food in various type of cooking style. However, it's a bit pricey, so it's better to come with your parents if you're still a student and unemployed. For this visit, we purchased 2 deals from weBuy.com.my, each deal provide a Double Combination Rice or Noodle worth RM12.50 @ RM5.40 only! The portion of the food is the same as normal rate. It's a very good buy and the food taste awesome!

Roasted Pork + Roasted Duck with Rice
The roasted duck skin is quite crispy and not too salty like other roasted ducks. The duck meat is tender and easy to chew. The portion of the meal is just right enough for 1 person.

Soy Sauce Chicken + Roasted Duck with Dry Noodles
Soy Suace chicken is very tender and meaty. Wanted to to order Char Siew (BBQ Pork) but sold out already. The roasted duck here is similar to the one above, the only difference is this got less bones [more meat to eat x)].

Dinner @ Restoran Makanan Laut Lau Heong, Sentul Raya.

A nice chinese restaurant at Sentul that is always full house during peak hours. If you want to get a table, I advise you to go for an early dinner. A simple restaurant with tables set up from the parking space in front of the restaurant to the second floor of the restaurant.

Pork Knuckle
Nice juicy pork knuckle with crispy skin on the outside and tender meat on the inside. The only downside is that it has a lot of fats! But if you don't mind that, it's delicious. =D The sauce is quite interesting as it looks like curry sauce but it is actually tomato gravy that is sweet and sour and it complements the meat.

Siong Tong LaLa (Clam Soup)
Quite a spicy dish. However, the LaLa does not have that fishy smell at all and it is quite big portion. Not overcooked that left the meat of the LaLa quite plump and tender.

Curry Fish
Creamy and spicy curry soup. Rich in flavour. Quite generous with the fish meat and vegetables too. Goes well with white rice. =D

Sizzling Squids & Prawns
One of their popular dishes. The sauce is really flavourful and creamy in texture and it goes really well with the squids and prawns. The portion is quite big too and the seafood are cooked to perfection.

Well, overall the bill totaled up to RM121 including a vegetable dish that we didn't take. The price for each dish was quite reasonable and affordable.

Buffet Dinner @ Funky Villa, e@curve, Petaling Jaya

After reviewing the blog, we found out that we haven't blog anything on Thai Cuisine :O. There was a great Thai Buffet deal offered by Groupon last month(Groupon Malaysia | [50% Off] À la carte Buffet (Food + Drink) at Funky Villa for RM29 instead of RM57.90, e@Curve (Cineleisure). Pork-free), thus we decided to try Funky Villa's Thai Food. The restaurant is located in e@curve shopping complex, the setting of the restaurant was quite modern and stylish compared to those normal Thai Restaurant.

Lemongrass Juice

Chicken Wings
Deep-fried to perfection! The chicken wings were crispy and juicy. Taste extremely delightful :D

Spring Rolls
Crispy and not oily! Well prepared spring rolls.

Thai Otak-otak
Mild spiciness filled with seafood.

Tom Yum Fish
They are very generous with the fish fillets, the spiciness was just right.


SeaFood in Sweet Chili
Sweet and sour fried seafood! Prawns, squids and fish fillets, all of them are fresh and yummy. One of the best dishes among others.

Pineapple & Chicken Fried Rice
Thai famous fried rice cooked with chicken slices, raisins and pineapples. Topped with cashew nuts. Quite delicious.
Spicy Chicken Salad

Basil Leaf Chicken
Strong basil leaf taste

KangKung Chilies & Garlic

Lunch @ Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie, Jalan Delima, Kuala Lumpur

So, we found another place that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and tea-time. Levain is located at Jalan Delima, nearby Noble House and Ka-Soh. Its exterior is something to be admired in which they had transform a big old double-storey house into a nice-looking bakery and restaurant. Apparently, it is always full-house during lunch hours so if you want to get a nice seat, it's advisable to come early before the lunch hour starts. The concept there is simple. You get a place, remember the table number, and order your food and give them your table number at the cashier and the food will be served to your table.

Creamy Mushroom Chicken Soup @ RM5.40
It's really delicious. Thick creamy texture with plenty of mushrooms and chicken inside.

Seafood Aglio Olio @ RM12.50
Served with 2 pieces of crispy bread. It has plenty of seafood in it and the pasta is cooked to perfection. A little drizzle of olive oil and some chilli peppers complements the whole dish perfectly. The portion is just right for one person. The only thing I was not satisfied with it is that while they gave plenty of fish meat and prawns, there are less squid in it.

Toasted Chicken Cutlet Sandwich @ Rm9.90
Crusty toast with big pieces of chicken cutlet in between. They had drizzled some sauce on the chicken cutlet which I suspect is teriyaki sauce and made the whole dish a little salty/sour. It's tasty but you might have a hard time eating it as a whole because it's quite a big portion. Can be shared between 2 person.

Macaroons @ 1-5 for RM3.60 each, 6-9 for for RM3.30 each, 10 & above for RM3.00 each
PISTACHE - , LIMONE-, JASMINE-, FRAISE (Strawberry)-
The macaroons were actually not too sweet as I imagined. The sweetness is just right and their variety of flavours is something to be amazed at. There are many types of macaroons that I had problem choosing them. However, it's sold out pretty fast so if you want to buy the flavours that you want, better be there early. I recommend trying the Jasmine flavour and the Limone flavour. Fraise flavour was not bad too but Pistache flavour has a bit of a weird taste but that is just my opinion. If you are feeling adventurous, try their Durian flavour!

Chocolate Baked Tart @ RM9.50
Delectable dessert. A sinful dessert where the whole dessert is coated with chocolate. Chocolate tart, chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache and cocoa powder. Truly a paradise for the chocoholics.


The Breads & Pastries
Unfortunately, we were too full to try out the breads and pastries. We will make a visit to Levain again, this time devoting ourselves to trying the mouthwatering breads and pastries.
