California Pizza Kitchen, KLCC

Are you in love with pizza? Can't help but feel that all you want is pizza, pizza and pizza, moreover authentic pizza.. Then you should come to California Pizza Kitchen (CPK)!

Putting the entire world on a pizza, pasta or salad! And it's a fact that the pizzas here are artful, designed to tickle the eyeballs as well as the palate with creative combination of color, texture and flavor.

The California Pizza Kitchen in Suria KLCC has been drawing very large crowds since its first opening in Malaysia. Even with hundreds over seats on the good-size premises, you can count on a wait of 30 to 60 minutes for a table if you drop by at midday. The decor is upscale pizza-house, with a large, white-tile pizza oven and semicircular bar and with cozy wooded furnishings and an open kitchen that created a busy ambiance. Almost all the tables were occupied with smiling diners!

CPK was founded in 1985 in Beverly Hills, California,United States.

Warm & cozy ambiance

Open kitchen in the middle of the restaurant.

There is quite an extensive variety found at CPK. You'll get from salads to pizza, pasta and desserts, in different styles and preferences. CPK is serving good scrumptious pizzas. They take pride of their fresh imported ingredients such as pine nuts, cranberries, avocados... Very imported. This is the reason foods here are quite pricey compare to other franchises.

Iced Lemon Tea (RM7.50) for Steven

My all-time fav, Strawberry Shake! (RM9.50)

This would be Steven's ultimate dream dinner. He loves salad! This salad had everything tat would satisfy the rumbling tummy, and it was BIG!! We had the half size salad, which could feed 2 comfortably. Unless you're such a big eater! LOL...

FEMMECITY 2010, KLCC

I was attending FEMMECITY 2010 in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre last Saturday. It was a 3 straight days exhibition started from 30th July - 1st August 2010. Basically it was organized for all the ladies.. Ahem! And also guys.. About fashion, beauty, health, fitness, lifestyle, finance, weddings...

To be frank, i felt quite dissapointed about the exhibition. There were not as what i expected. I found the place too small and not very attractive. Even the i Property exhibition was huge compared to FEMMECITY. i Property almost covered the whole convention hall.

Here are some pictures i took in the exhibition:

The Wantan noodles (RM6.50) was just so plain and normal. Char Siew rice still their best!

Asia Restaurant, Senawang Seremban

Ask anyone from Seremban about the best Laksa in town, and i bet they will tell you Asia Restaurant's Laksa! There are two Asia Restaurant in Seremban. One is situated in Loop Road and another one is in Senawang. Both are running by a same family. But the making of the gravy for curry is quite different. For the one in Loop Road, curry is much lighter and not many Santan. For those who doesn't like too much Santan, can consider to go to Asia Restaurant, Loop Road. While Asia Restaurant in Senawang, they tend to put alot of Santan and the gravy was thick.

The restaurant is located in Senawang light industrial, south of Seremban.

The restaurant is located at the corner lot amongst the shop houses.

It’s very difficult to say whether this is the best Laksa, but with the amount of customers day in and day out, i don't have any doubt! Asia Restaurant is very well known in Seremban.

Asia Restaurant is always throng by customers. Especially during weekend and holiday. You may expected to wait up to 30 minutes for your meal. I think it is worth for waiting for good food!

The Laksa was pretty decent. It was flavorful and fragrant! The gravy was just nice, not overly spicy that it burns your tongue, nor was it so mild that you cannot taste the spice mix.

Portions are also good enough. The Laksa was quite creamy.

It is indeed mouth watering just looking at the bowl of Laksa with the rice noodles in the Laksa soup brimming with flavor.

This restaurant also had other kinds of food, such as the Nasi Lemak, dumplings Yong Tau Fu and mixed rice.

The rice was so fragrant, soft and fluffy. The Sambal was not very spicy (this is based on my own taste bud, because i can eat very spicy food) They have cooked the Sambal with alot of onions and anchovies. I love it. The curry chicken was tender & flavorsome! However, i think the chicken was too small for me as i have ordered drumstick and it came with a chicken wing. Hmm! Never mind, i will sure try it again next time!

Domino's Pizza

I love pizza! I find that Domino's Pizza is simply the best! I love the taste and it offers more varieties. I have not dine-in in their store before since they are the delivery expert! There are few tables and chairs in the store. But everyone came in to order their pizza or else they call for delivery. I think those tables and chairs are for people who is in hurry and nothing to do and want to dine in. Just in case la.. Since Domino's Pizza did not have the delivery service in my housing area in Seremban, we walked in to the store and ordered our favourite pizza. Thanks Joanne for belanja! >_<

By the way, do you know that Domino's Pizza started in the year 1960? Wow! That is too long!

Domino’s is the only pizza company that guarantees your order will arrive within 30 minutes or you'll get a free Regular Pizza voucher! Not only that, Domino’s guarantees you’ll receive your Take-Away orders within 15 minutes or you'll get a free Personal Pizza voucher.

We have ordered 2 large Pizzas. One is Classified Chicken with Classic Hand and another one is Seafood Delight with TossedCrunchy Thin Crust. Both are in Top Secret Sauce. So yummy!

See.. See.. See.. Look at their generous toppings. This pizza comes with their “Top Secret Sauce”, an aromatic blend of creamy, cheesy flavours with an unmistakable garlic zest! Delicious! I also love the thin crust, its so crispy and you just cant stop eating it. It is so nice, chewy and not overly thick and hence will not make you overly full.

I love this too! This soft and fluffy breadsticks, sprinkled with garlic seasoning, baked to perfection then served with salsa sauce. Nice as a dessert

Tony Roma's, Sunway Pyramid

I love western food and used to go to many western food restuarants. This was my second time visit Tony Roma's. The last time i been was in The Gardens Mall for Steven's birthday celebration couple of years ago.

I find the Tony Roma's in Sunway Pyramid is pretty spacious and brighter compare to their branch in Mid Valley Megamall and The Curve.

We have directed by friendly waiter to a table next to window. Over the view is Sunway Lagoon.

Tony Roma's is a modern casual dining chain restaurant. Very American style.

You may adjust the window blind. We were enjoying our food while seeing the nice view of Sunway Lagoon over the window..

I simply took some pictures while waiting for our food to be served. No SDLR today, took all pictures with my 'lil pinky camera which i carrying it everywhere i go... Hehe.. So that i can take more pictures to blog it here.. :D

Tony Roma's Drinks and Desserts Menu. Choosing your beverage was a headache because they have many to offer ranging from alcoholic to non-alcoholic. But me and Steven will normally skip the alcoholic section as both of us are non alcoholic people. Haha!

Tony Roma's Set Lunch Menu

I have ordered Grilled Chicken Sandwich (RM19.90) from the Set Lunch menu as i was not very hungry. This is the first time I ordered burger from Tony Roma's. Hmmm.. Undeniably, this burger is massive hugeeee, gosh it's portion for two! Check it out...

I need to compressed it few times just to feed into my mouth. Normally i will try to finish everything i order. Unfortunately, I can't finish it (i mean many french fries left, i love fries, but i was too fulled) and what a waste!

The burgers and sandwiches are visually delicious and filling! I loved the combination of the juicy grilled chicken breast on a toasted Ciabatta bun, sweet red onion rings, cheddar cheese, grilled tomato slices and Romaine lettuce in my Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

Mmmh, sweetly caramelised deep-fried onions! Very crunchy, tasty onion, not too much batter and goes perfectly with the sauce if you order it for a la carte. I simply like to eat it plain, without the sauce, it tastes good too, because the onion is very sweet itself!

Steven has order Fish & Chips (RM19.90) from the Set Lunch menu.

Crunchy battered fresh fish complete with doorstep-thick chips.

Although fries are fattening, but i simply love it.

The complimentary bread with garlic butter. The bread was very soft. So good to eat with the garlic butter! Yummy!

The Set Lunch Soup of the Day varies on a day to day basis. Two choices of soup. This time we got Potato. It gets thumbs up from me! I love the fresh crackers that come with the soups.

I love this creamy potato soup. They have blended in potatoes, onion, some garlic and chicken stock.

Drink comes together with set lunch. Few selections for soft drink. We ordered Iced Lemon Tea. All drinks are free flow for those order set lunch.

Classic yellow mustard will be provided if you are ordering their sandwiche or burger. I prefer to have it original, without any sauce.

The afternoon lunch was really enjoyable with the good companion in the warm and cosy restaurant and delicious food!
