A Bountiful Lunch Date

After my solo visit to Bountiful for a bountiful lunch (hah..hah..), I visited again with my partner for a lunch date.

Christmas At The Starling

The Christmas decorations at The Starling are up.

Jang Jang Rice, Damansara Utama

Another high end chap fan outlet with a catchy name has opened in Damansara Utama - Jang Jang Rice.

Fun Fun Mix Rice, Damansara Utama

This shoplot was previously occupied by Kean Seng Kopitiam which vacated back in August 2024.

Datenite @ The Charcoal Grill

My partner and I had a datenite at The Charcoal Grill a few weeks ago but I forgot to take a photo of our dinner. LOL!

This Little Kittie

One morning (last week) when I arrived at the office, the soft mewing of a kitten caught my attention.

Bountiful, Damansara Utama

A new eatery, Bountiful, opened some two weeks ago.

Uptown Eats (Uptown 7)

The renovation works at the Uptown 7 carpark is completed.

Rainy Day Uninspiring Lunch

Yesterday morning it rained cats and dogs.

Double Toast

When I eat carbs, I plan it in such a way that I have movement after the meal.

This SHIP Should Have Sailed A Long Time Ago

I don't know why I was drawn to revisit. Perhaps for the final goodbye.

The Charcoal Grill, Damansara Uptown

In my previous post I mentioned that I wanted to eat Pork Fajitas but my plan was foiled by heavy evening rain.

Taking A Break From Sandwiches

I have been enjoying sandwiches at Halla Holla and the sourdough delights have not made any negative impact to my health or weight.

Datenite at Gu On, The Starling

Finally, Gu On at The Starling is open. I had been stalking this space since September 2025.

I Bumped Into A Chicken

The other day, on my way to the pet food shop, I spotted a chicken.

Frangipani

The Frangipani tress at The Starling's "secret garden" have not been flowering. I think it might be because of the hot weather.

Datenite : Pork and Chicken Chop

It was datenite but before that, I had Sandwich of the Day for lunch.

11.11

I had just delivered lunch and newspaper to mum and as I made my way down the road, there was a big truck trying to park outside one of the houses.

The Most Glorious Big Breakfast

I was snooping around the bazaar at The Starling when I thought about having the Really Big Breakfast at Red Kettle.

Reclaiming My Saturdays

Since 2023 when my parents moved here due to my late dad's deteriorating health, my Saturdays have been occupied.

Not Worth The Trouble

Crispy chicken skin. Is it worth it to make a bunch at home?

Hartton Kitchen. Damansara Uptown

The first time I visited Hartton Kitchen was back in 2020.

Brunch : Chicken Tartine

The Rustic Grill, Damansara Uptown, is now serving their Weekend Brunch Menu on weekdays.

What's Up Neighbor?

I have not eaten Halla Holla's Almond Croissant for a while. So I decided to revisit my favorite croissant.

Relaxing Sunday

Last Sunday, I told myself, don't try to over achieve. LOL!

Bored

Thursday was terribly boring. I just felt so blah and unmotivated.

Behaving Myself

Saturday was datenite. In the morning, as usual, I went to buy nasi lemak and spend some time to chit chat with mum.

Halloween Breakfast

I had to attend a webinar from 10.30am to 12:00pm so I thought I had better settle my stomach first just in case the session over runs. Stomach is very important hah..hah...

Mushroom Soup

I was a little bit peckish that morning and decided to eat something light before going to the chicken rice stall to pick up mum's lunch.

Drowning My Sorrows

I know I may sound dramatic (and vindictive) but I burned RM600.00+ on a tomahawk steak that turned out awful due to the way it was served. Hell hath no fury like PH scorned. Hah!

Tired Of Duck

I used to eat roasted duck like twice or three times a month. That was how much I loved my quack quack.

Datenite : BBQ Beef Rib

It was datenite and my partner suggested The Rustic Grill because he knows that I love beef (this was a day before my most dissapointing tomahawk experience).

Baker's Barn Lunch Set

Since my first visit to Baker's Barn Bakery & Cafe, Damansara Jaya, I thought I would give the cafe another try.

The Tomahawk That Left Me Speechless

My brother rescued me the other day when he helped me solve a problem with my accounting software year end processing.

Brussels Sprouts Again

I had some leftover Brussels sprouts and I also defrosted two packets of beef trimming.

Halloween Specials : Is This Scary?

Halloween is not in Malaysian culture but it has been sometime now that this American culture crept into ours.

Datenite @ Chic Cafe, Damansara Uptown

Last week my partner and I went to Chic Cafe, Damansara Uptown for dinner.

Do You Or Will You Eat This?

When we go on our grocery run, my partner goes around picking up his fruits, vegetables and other stuff that he eats.

Saturday Lunch

Last Friday, I planned for some epic meals for the long weekend.

Hanam BBQ Weekday Lunch Sets

Many weeks ago, as I was leaving Jaya Grocer, the pretty young lady from Hanam BBQ stopped me and pointed to the restaurant "The lunch sets are coming!"
