Mitasu Japanese Restaurant

My brother love this place and according to him that this is really popular due to its price and value. It is ala-carte buffet and the menu have a good choices. I advise you to make the booking, it was very full even on a weekday night. Environment is good. I like the restaurant setting.

We made the reservation early with the individual private room, however, due to a big group that come earlier than us, the restaurant manager gave away our reservation to others. Although they did apologize to us but isn't the purpose of reservation is to secure for a place? Miss the chance to enjoy the private room.

You can have the menu on the Facebook. Menu 1 | Menu 2. Do note that the price had increased to RM56.9++ per pax. **Update as at Aug 2014.

Salad - I like the sauce and fresh vegetables combination. Sashimi - salmon and prawn is good. I did not have oyster but I saw other tables was having a lot of this. So if you love oyster, you will really enjoy the free flow here. Prawn is small but I am fine with that.

Tempura - I am disappointed with this, it has a very strong oil taste to me. Not sure why, may be I am just unlucky for the day. Sushi - I did not taste as I have no room for that. My sister said that is average. One special Item my family love a lot is the cheese baked mussels. I don't eat that but they had a lot. Soba - good.

Tepanyaki - meat version is really nice, we tried beef, chicken and squid. All good. Mixed vegetables is bad, different chef?

Desserts - very normal but you have to try their home-made green tea ice-cream, that is the best out of all desserts choice. I had 5-6 scoops of it. I guess 5 of us may have around 30 scoops just for this green tea ice-cream. Sesame ice-cream was great too but slightly sweet for me.

Lot 10 Hutong (十號胡同)

I haven been to KL town for many years and when I checked out with friend on the eating area, I was recommended to Lot 10 Hutong. Reason being the food centre gathered a lot of famous local stall around the area. Lot 10 Hutong is a Malaysia's first and only heritage destination that pays tribute to one of the best loved national treasures - good food and the art of local cuisines.

The food center's interior is toward the vintage feel, so I like the way they put the things together. I tried a few of them, and feel the food is good for some. I was a bit surprised to see the price, a bit expensive to me although I dun know how much it charges if I go to the original shop. Comments on food is based on my personal preference as I am not local, not sure what is the original taste.

Hokkien Mee - RM11.50, this must be the most expensive one I tried. I do not really know the taste different using charcoal and normal fire. Here they are using charcoal, the noodles tasted and smell good to me.

 Chang Fen with Prawn Paste from Penang - RM8.9, nice as I like the prawn paste

Popiah - RM6.9, I personally dun really like it. It is a bit different from the normal I tried. It doesn't means that this is bad. There were 2 types that we ordered, one with egg skin and another one is normal.

Alexis

I wanted to have some desserts and happened we went to The Garden, my friend the recommended me the  good tiramisu at Alexis. It is located at the 1st floor and the restaurant is quite big(as in it has bigger space), may be 2 shops area. The restaurant have smoking and non-smoking environment. I was here purely for its desserts as I did not try any of its main dish.

Bitter Sweet(RM13++) - tasted average for me as I personally like the moister type of chocolate cake and the cake layer was a bit dry for me.

Flat White(RM11.50++) - tasted good for me. My friend had Cafe Latte(RM11.50++).

Tiramisu(RM16++) - This was the reason I was at this restaurant. The highly recommended tiramisu. It is so far the most expensive tiramisu I had in Malaysia. It tasted quite nice with the caramel roasted almond(or nuts) on top of the tiramisu. I love tiramisu to be more cheesy where this overall is less cheesy. The cake on the shelf looked very big piece but it seemed we are unlucky, they served us with the smaller piece. It was served with strawbery sauce which added some points on that.

These were other interesting cakes that was disaplyed on the shelf on the day we visited. One of the popular item is pavlova cake, the reason why I did not get it because I tried the original from New Zealand before and it was very sweet. I was a bit scare of that so I missed it, if you are sweet tooth, do go ahead with this.

Purple Tea Cane Restaurant

My friend highly recommended the Lei Cha Tea soup at this restaurant and said that it is the best that she had. I am not a Lei Cha fan so cannot really tell what is the different but lei cha here have less mint taste so it is still acceptable for me.

Vegetarian Spring Roll with Shu Xian Tea(RM13.90++) - tasted average, not very much of the tea flavour. Presentation looks fine.

Lei Cha Tea Soup (RM7.9++) - I thought it is kind of tea but it is actually soup and first time I saw the soup served in this way. Very different experience. Both of my friend like it very much, I think this is really good. 

Tea Eggs(RM3++) - This is very good, very well did. It could be it was boiled in the tea soup for quite long time.

Burdock (Niu Bang)Chicken Soup with Oolong Tea(RM7.9++) - This is first time I had soup cooked with burdock, tasted not bad for me, the way it served in a tea pot and drink in the cup made me think of the ancient chinese people on how they drink in the drama.
