1 June 2011: I went to Rabbit Cafe in Bandar Baru Sri Petaling for lunch. I got to know about Rabbit Cafe because the owner/cook appeared in a TV Show, featuring 雨扬居士, a Taiwanese feng shui master.


Rabbit Cafe serves set lunch, which includes wide selection of Chinese and Western Set:

• Chinese Set (RM8.90++) -> Main Course, Appetizer/Dessert, Drinks
• Western Set (RM16.90++) -> Appetizer, Main Course, Dessert, Drinks

Here's the menu for set lunch...


Here are the main courses that we had...

Butter Cheesy Fish Rice -> The butter cheesy sauce is very tasty. It is slightly spicy, which makes it appetizing. This is my favourite dish here. Highly recommended.

Omelet Rice with White Sauce -> Fried rice tastes quite good. White sauce is quite tasty as well. Worth a try.

Here's the location of Rabbit Cafe @ Bandar Baru Sri Petaling...
Address: 12G, Jalan 14/149L, Zone P, Bandar Baru Sri Petaling, 57000 Kuala Lumpur.

25 May 2011: Rendezvous Steak Garden (相见欢) is restaurant with open-concept, serving western and local favourites. It is located in Jalan Kampung Pandan, next to Chateau De Caffeinees. The ambience here is quite nice and cosy. You can choose to sit under a tree, inside a gigantic bird cage, in a swing, etc... Suitable place for casual gathering with friends and family.

Here are what we had...


Grilled Black Pepper Chicken (RM11.80++) -> Chicken is juicy. Black pepper sauce is quite tasty. Not bad.


Cheese Macaroni (RM11.80++) -> The taste of cream and cheese did not absorb into the macaroni. Macaroni itself is almost tasteless. Besides, macaroni is slightly overcooked. Not recommended.


Grilled Ikan Pari (RM16++) -> The fish itself is average. Sambal spread on top of the grilled fish is quite tasty but the amount is not enough for this big piece of fish. However, the little bowl of sauce served together actually stinks. I'm not sure what sauce is that but both me and my bf think that it stinks.


Mango Juice (RM4.20++) -> Too diluted. Can hardly taste mango.
Kiwi Juice (RM4.20++) -> Similar to mango juice. Too diluted. I can only taste sugar...

1 May 2011: We went to Chateau De Caffeinees for lunch. It is a place that offers coffee and food in relaxing environment. It is located in Jalan Kampung Pandanm, next to Rendezvous Steak Garden. The exterior design of the restaurant is nicely done. It's a very pleasing garden. However, the interior deco of the restaurant (e.g. floor, doors, windows, etc...) is slightly old and run down.


Caffeinees offers set lunch that includes selected main meal, gelato and drinks (iced lemon tea/long black/english tea). The set lunch that we ordered is priced at RM23++...

• Caffeinees Baked Rice -> Rice served with fried chicken wing and salad. This is a chef recommended item. However, I think this is disappointed. The skin of fried chicken wing is crispy and quite tasty but the chicken meat itself is tasteless. The baked rice is too soggy and very filling but not very tasty. I'm not sure what the exact word to describe the taste of the rice, I just don't enjoy it.
• Long Black -> Average.
• Gelato (Mango) -> I love this! Very fine and creamy gelato with natural mango taste. It's a ready made gelato from JezRipe. I'm planning to look for this gelato, buy in bulk and store in my own fridge. Highly recommended!
  

Besides the set lunch, we ordered some ala carte items as well...

• Carribbean Grilled Chicken (RM20++) -> Grilled chicken chop with creamy mild spicy home specialty sauce. This is another chef recommended item. Also another very disappointing one. The grilled chicken itself is quite juicy and tender. It's acceptable for the grilled chicken itself to be tasteless. Normally, the taste of grilled chicken is highly dependent on the sauce. However, the sauce is a complete failure. It's literally TASTELESS!
  
• Green Apple-Lime Ice Blended (RM8.50++) -> Another chef recommendation. The juice is diluted by the ice although I drink it immediately after it's served. This juice taste more like iced water...
• Flourless Chocolate Cake (RM9++) -> I like this. Soft, fine, creamy and 'chocolatie'. Worth a try.

In conclusion, I personally think that the chef recommendations are misleading and disappointing.

12 February 2011: Kedai Kopi Wah Mui (华美茶室) is a traditional Malaysian style of kopitiam. It has been operating in Kota Bharu for almost half a century. Although it's non air-conditioned, air ventilation in the kopitiam is good due to the high ceiling. This place is clean, comfortable and cozy. Besides, customers are also allowed to bring own food into the kopitiam. Most of the customers here are regulars. The price of the food and drinks here are economical too.


Here are what I had here for breakfast...

• Roti Kahwin (RM0.70) -> Toast bread with kaya and butter. Bread is perfectly-toasted, crispy and fluffy. Amount of kaya and butter spread on the bread is just nice, yummy!
  
• Half-boiled Eggs (RM1) -> Nicely done! The eggs are soft and smooth but not too watery.
  
• Kopi-O (RM1) -> Although I'm not a coffee lover, this is one of the best kopi-o I've ever had. Thick and aromatic. Not too sweet.

Although Kedai Kopi Wah Mui only serves simple food and drinks, they are of high quality at low price. Recommended for a comfortable, relaxing and economical breakfast or evening tea.

Here's the location and details of Kedai Kopi Wah Mui...
Address: 3925, Jalan Sultanah Zainab, 15000 Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
Business Hours: 7:30am-8pm (Saturday-Thursday), 7:30am-12pm (Friday).
