Fong Lye Taiwan Restaurant @ The Gardens, Mid Valley City

Sunday, November 2, 2008

Fong Lye is located on the 3rd floor of Mid Valley, The Gardens. The interior designs and the décor are not bad; they used a lot of glass and the fashionable designed white sofa, the ambience looking good. However, all the tables are placed so close to each other that there is no way to have a conversation without worrying others might hear what others are saying. It’s pretty difficult to have a conversation too when there are so much noise going on.
Fong Lye has diversification of food choices, especially the wide variety of snacks in Taiwan. First of all, the Taiwan Braised Beef Noodle (Aromatic and a little spicy) and the Three Varieties of Supreme Diced Chicken (can try lar), following by the Sweet Potatoes Balls (not bad), Taiwan Style Glutinous Rice Wrap-up Sausage, Baked Sausage and other snacks to filling the stomach. If you would like to have something more outstanding, Taiwan Steamed Boat Set Meal would be a good choice.

Overall, this restaurant offers some decent tasting food. However, the price isn’t too affordable so consider this restaurant to be quite pricey. As said earlier, the spacing in the restaurant is limited; moving around in the restaurant is difficult too with the narrow space. By the way, Fong Lye Taiwan Restaurant has two other branches, one in Jalan Imbi and the other in Desa Sri Hartamas.

Old Taste Ipoh White Coffee Kopitiam @ SS2 PJ

Old Taste serves similar menu as that offered by the Old Town Kopitiam chain. It is yet another chain of copycat kopitiam which have been given the upgraded treatment so that they can charge you extra several ringgit for a cup of coffee/tea that you could pay RM1.80 for in a normal kopitiam.

Old Taste Food here is not too bad. The Nasi Lemak was actually quite good. The rice was firm and fragrant. Served with onion sambal with a piece of rending/fried chicken with the usual egg, ikan bilis and nuts. The curry noodles was also not bad at all. The soup had enough spices and coconut milk which is spicy yet not overwhelmingly hot/strong and tasted very "home cooked" (but too oily).

The environment and ambience is good, clean and tidy. It’s a good relaxing place to hangout and yamcha with friends. The quality of the food is just nice, and the price is reasonable or maybe you would say it’s ‘affordable’. If you have nowhere to hang out during the saturday evening, then you may consider Old Taste Kopitiam. It’s really a nice place for you to relax after the heavy workload.

The Manhattan Fish Market @ Cineleisure PJ

Don’t be fooled by their name. This seafood restaurant doesn’t look anything like a wet fish market. In reality, the Manhattan Fish Market franchise doesn’t stray far from the typical western joint. Its interior is consistent with its logo which consists of the colour brown and yellow. It’s cosy, comfortable and casual which makes it the perfect setting for any occasion. Service at Manhattan Fish Market is creditable. The staff is friendly, attentive, and they’re always happy to serve.
Every dish listed on the menu sounds extremely tempting. The portions are more than average which is surprising considering the reasonable prices. Amongst some of the notable dishes are the signature Manhattan Fish & Chips, Creamy Seafood Pasta and the Manhattan Flamed Prawns. The Fish & Chips are possibly one of the best in town (Must try if you are a fish-lover). It is a huge fish fillet fried in a delicious batter. If you want a collection of all the tasty delights, we suggest ordering the Manhattan Seafood Platter for Two. There’s fish, oysters, prawns and calamari served with either French fries or garlic rice
Basically, the Manhattan Fish Market is not for everyone. If your preference is for healthy, veggie-based cooking, you may leave feeling bloated and woozy. However, if you are into for deep-fried, fatty, oily food, then the Manhattan Fish Market won’t disappoint you.

Sushi Zanmai @ The Gardens, Mid Valley City

In Japanese cuisine, sushi, is vinegar rice, usually topped with other ingredients, including fish, various meats, and vegetables. There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or alga) called makizushi or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi; toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi.

Sushi Zanmai is a very nice and reasonably priced Japanese restaurant in The Gardens in Mid Valley. The ambience is perfect and gives the feeling of a modern Japanese deco. It took some time to decide what to order. Believe it; the menu is so big and extensive that you do not know what to order. One can be spoil with too many choices.
The salmon slices were thick, freshed and absolutely delicious after dipping it slightly with the wasabi and soy sauce. No sushi meal would be complete without unagi, their unagi with rice is just nice to compliment both tastes. As for tofu, it stood up firmly and didn’t wobble around. On top of that, the outer layer was fried till a very light golden brown color and has slight crispiness in it.
Overall, the food is great, Sushi Zanmai’s food are above average. Of course there are better Japanese food but Sushi Zanmai is not in the same league as them. Looking at the pricing, it is only fair to compare Sushi Zanmai with other Japanese food chain like Sushi King and Genki Sushi. However, Sushi Zanmai provide more varieties.
