O' Bahn Mi @ One Utama/Damansara Uptown

I first had my Vietnamese subway/sandwich in Melbourne, in a town called Footscray. I still remember the whole scene of when I was in Melbourne. Anyways, back to reality here in Kuala Lumpur, for someone who has been craving for Vietnamese sandwich (aka Bahn Mi), I decided to take the risk to try it here in KL.

Honestly, it came to a surprise that there's this place in Damansara Uptown which serves quite good Vietnamese sandwich. I often patronize this place, and would say I'm quite a frequent customer to this place. Recently, they just opened their second branch in One Utama.

O' Terriyaki

For those who do not fancy pork, you can try the O' Terriyaki which consists of Terriyaki marinated chicken with all the vegetables you get in your usual Vietnamese sandwich. For example, the pickled vegetables was just great. Do remember to add as much as Sirracha chili sauce for that "kick". For chicken Vietnamese sandwich here in OBahnMi, I would prefer to opt for the Lemongrass Chicken instead of the Terriyaki Chicken.

Pork & Prawn Rice Paper Roll

The ingredients were fresh. One of the freshest Vietnamese Rice Paper Roll I have ever tasted. However, the sauce was just a miss. It did not give that pungent after taste, it simply didn't leave any "special" feeling to it. And in some ways, the sauce was just too diluted.

O' Roasty

Wanted to be more adventurous instead of sticking to my usual, thus decided to try the O' Roasty. Normally, for pork, I would either go for their O' BBQ or their OMG sandwich. Hands down, I had both the O'BBQ and OMG! way too many times. First time trying the O' Roasty which honestly was not to my liking because it's roasted pork belly (too much fatty layers). My companion did like the O' Roasty, so it boils down to preferential after all.

Overview

An overview of what we had on that day. The Vietnamese Lemon Tea was nice.

Of course, above and all, O Bahn Mi is still my top place to be, when it comes to sandwiches.
The only bad thing about O Bahn Mi - It's quite pricey.
For a sandwich, it would costs around RM 11-15, which I believe you can gulp down three plates of "mix rice" here in Malaysia. I just feel relatively, bread costs more than a plate of rice with dishes. To me, it just doesn't jive.

Back in Melbourne, the Vietnamese sandwich costs AUD4 but the main dishes (i.e: rice/noodles) costs about AUD10. If you are in Melbourne, the good Vietnamese sandwich is called Nhu Lam, you can get it in places like Footscray, Richmond and Preston.

Chuai Heng Restaurant @ Kuala Lumpur

Apologies for the lack or rather the sudden disappearance from this blog. Fred not, I am back here with a brand new post. This time, it's a restaurant that has been in the city centre for quite a long time. I remembered having the dim sum here few years back, and it was alright. Thus, having friends down in KL from overseas, whom were craving for Dim Sum.. first thing that came to my mind was Chuai Heng Restaurant. Reason why I chose this place is that the environment is great and peaceful for a great catch-up and chit chat session. :) Chuai Heng is, of course the more "high-class" place for Dim Sum, probably comparable to places like Dai Thong or Overseas Restaurant or Oriental Pavillion. It's tucked in Bukit Bintang, pretty close to Prince Court Hospital.. roughly about a minute or two from Prince Court Hospital. Steamed Peanut As usual, in places like these, they will always serve a saucer of steamed peanuts. Of course, is to be noted that there is no suc...

Ekkamai @ Jalan Batai, Damansara Heights

When Thai food is not done right, it would taste bland; When Thai food is done right, your taste would bend. But thankfully for Ekkamai @ Batai, they did Thai food justice! My first experience in Ekkamai was at the Publika branch and it wasn't a pleasant dining experience as I felt the food lacks the flavours and one of the soup had a bad smell to it (Tom Kha Salmon Belly, to be exact). At this point, I told myself to not walk into the one in Publika anymore, and give the one at Batai a chance. Stumbled upon the branch at Batai, and why not? Did not regret it, food was delightful, ambiance was just perfect for a group dining, or even a romantic couple dining experience. Only down-side is the parking at Batai (a 4 hours catching up with friends, could costs you about RM15 just for the parking). Enough said, food pics! Sharing Platter ✭✭✭✰✰ The sharing platter is a good combination of several starters. Do note that this would just be enough for 2-3 person. The...

Restaurant Seoul Korea @ Taman Danau Desa

As I remembered my very first Korean meal back when I was in Melbourne for 3 years.. the Korean cuisine in Melbourne never fails to satisfy me. The moment I came back to KL for good, I have been in scout of Korean cuisine that may be as good or at par as the Korean cuisine in Melbourne. It took me a great one year to discover such place. Been to the "Little Korea Town" in Ampang, but couldn't find one as fresh as Restaurant Seoul Korea @ Taman Danau Desa. Perhaps, I have to slowly try more restaurants in Ampang. But hey! Seoul Korea is good enough for me :) The only drawback about dining in Restaurant Seoul Korea is the queue. On weekends, dinner opens at 5:30pm but you will see a pretty long queue starting from 5:20pm up until 8:30pm. First, the cause of the long queue could be due to the small space which probably only have about 20 tables. On the other hand, no doubt, the food is good. They have at least 10 different side dishes which are so flavorsome and tr...
