Stuff'd


Did I mention that Ah Mah Traditional Egg Sponge Cake@The Starling has closed down? 

In its place is Tiger Sugar, one of the many bubble tea outlets that are suddenly springing up in Damansara Uptown.


 Guess who else closed down?

Bonfire. I was not surprised at all after my not-nice-at-all-salmon experience there.

Smart Kitchen also called it a day and is soon to be replaced by Seafood Dynasty.

Now back to the basement.

 Shin Tamagoyaki also called it a day to be replaced by this.


And now it has opened.


Don't be fooled by the claim of Mexican and Turkish as I soon discovered. It's more Mexican-ish and Turkish-ish.


You will note that they use beef chili con carne for the kebab. What is Turkish about that?

So anyway.


Ordering is a bit confusing because some ingredients are meant for burrito, some for kebab and the rest are for the Daily Bowl (salad). And then some ingredients are common ingredients.


My excitement sort of died down a bit. But it's OK. Try first then see how.


I went with the Burrito since I like such things. When the guy wrapped my burrito, it broke. So to repair, he wrapped it in another tortilla and I ended up with a double wrapped burrito.


Hmmm... sebatang like that, pretty much like how it is served at Orale. Let's eat!


Not bad. Not bad at all. Sour cream is the default sauce and I got to choose another two - smokey BBQ and mayonnaise. I was really stuffed after this meal. 


Another day I went back for the salad. They call it the Daily Bowl. Well, more like the daily box.


I went with chicken and whatever salad base and toppings I could have. The only dressing is in the form of sauces or mayo. I chose Smokey BBQ (again) and cucumber mayo.


Quite a nice salad, filling enough and a welcome change from Salad Atelier. But I have complaints about the chicken. It had dry hard bits.

Guess who else is coming to The Starling?

Should I be happy?

When I spotted this boarded up soon-to-be-kiosk earlier, I was really hoping (more like praying) that it would be IlaoIlao. 

Thank you God! This one I am happy :)

    I was in Starling last Sunday and noticed that Bonfire has closed down. Still didn't see where Nando will be. oh, stuff'd is the one at Midvalley mall that I wasn't tempted to try. Good to have your reviews on them. Which one do you prefer? Stuff'd or Orale - taste wise and also price wise.

      Nando's will be at the space adjacent (Vine used to be there) to where Bonfire used to be. Taste wise I would say that Orale is better (more authentic) but price wise Stuff'd is cheaper.

    Another one bites the dust? Eyewwwwww....bubble tea! After all the reports about the super high level of sugar content and the bubbles being not digestible? Aha!!! I sure would not mind that messy mess in a wrap, I would be ok with a burrito.

      The sad reality of the situation with eateries in my area... I don't like bubble tea. Not at all. I don't understand why so many people are crazy over it.

    Will tiger sugar have the same fate as ah mah traditional sponge cake in the end? I saw stuff'd at changi airport t3 in sg.

    Oh dear, so many closed...is there something wrong with Starling...low traffic? :D When I visited Bonfire in 2017, the food was ok, even the food photos in their Facebook up to July this year (of grilled prawns, salmon, chicken & ribs) looked very tasty! I wonder what happened. :(

      The traffic at Starling has improved somewhat and there are other eateries that are doing well. I don't know about Bonfire as I have not visited for dinner (which I understand is lots more exciting than lunch) but they must be doing poorly to decide to close.

    So many eateries closed down. The Starling is one of my frequented malls recently, for movie or dining :)

    So many eateries come and go. Some closed even before we could taste the food.
