Plus One Shabu Shabu

Saturday - We rarely go out Saturday for dinner, but yesterday, Hubby excitingly tells me that he plans to bring us go try the Plus One Shabu Shabu in One U. Yeay...outing on a Saturday nite! Knowing my boy wouldnt enjoy, I prepared him dinner first before we go out...and well...LUCKY LEH! U know why?!

OK, before that, Plus One Shabu Shabu is a newly opened steamboat restaurant chain, brought in by "hong-kies" la. Very similar to this popular Shabu Shabu in Bandar Puteri, Puchong, you get to have one individual pot to yourself. I guess the one significant different is the variety of soup base you get to choose from - and interesting ones too! I saw from their website that its located at the "previous" World of Fengshui, so, we found it pretty fast. (funny how World of Fengshui is closed, OR relocated - i dunno...I tot fengshui shop should have good biz coz they should have GOOD FENGSHUI ?! :P)

Anyway, the restaurant seems cozy and I liked the size of the table - big enuf to hold all the dishes. We were seated very quickly by a nice lady, 4 seater table. Although they have alot of selection, we managed to make up our minds rather fast also. Then I noticed this counter, full of different sauces. Nice nice...

The food were served very fast. But our good dinner turned bad soon after. The induction cooker hubby is using...turned off by itself. A waiter then helped swap to the next cooker on hubby's side of the table. Makan abit, then same thing happened. Then another waiter came to change the cooker to the previous side...makan abit, the same thing happened again! Hubby had to keep swapping between two sides of the cooker, while I have to stand up a few times for the waiter to access under the table to do something with the plugs. Wah...all mood off!

They changed our tables after one hour of tortured dinner...ok, new table...yeay! NO YEAY! I choosed my side and started eating, then soon, we heard the beeping sound of cooker turning off AGAIN! WAT THE HECK! Hubby madly changed to three other cooker on the table, but end up having the same problem....TALK ABOUT BAD LUCK! Mine no problem wor!

We started dinner like 7.15 and finished eating like 9.15. Two hours! The captain and waiters all already very pai seh dy....coz they can't find any other solutions for us.

I can hardly recall if the food is good or not...most of the time we are irritated by the beeping sound and having to stop coz the soup isnt boiling....bad dinner rite. Well, we were given special 20% off our bill as to compensate our bad time....Worth it or not? No lo........we still pay and did not really enjoy it.....:(

~when i read...its like...MEi....NU.......

~see how i say my boy won't be interested...? As soon as we sit down, he started asking to play games using my mobile

~i cannot decide which type of mushroom i want, so, i ordered MIXED. :)

~we ordered Tong Hou, but they say no more. So, changed to Yau Mak. Regret, coz alot of other dishes comes with it..like the mixed mushrooms.

~there! most of our dinner arrived very quickly.

Oh ya...I forgot about tis! They are having this promo, so, if your bill is over RM 50, you can order either fish, prawn or crab for RM 1 only. We got this.

~our Saturday dinner cost RM 79.80 - AFTER 20% discount from the bad time we had through-out. Ok, at least ada compensation. :)

EEST, Westin Kuala Lumpur

We had Dim Sum Brunch at EEST Restaurant, Westin Kuala Lumpur - eat all you can from the ala carte menu. Its a "pork-less" place, so, I always believe DIM SUM is not Dim Sum without pork. HAhaha.... Its mostly seafood and chicken meat. Although limited selection, but quite nice lah. Worth a try!

Joyoga, Starhill Kuala Lumpur

Jogoya used to be the best buffet i find in town, but somehow i find that the quality of the food is not as good as before. This is always the problem with restaurant in Malaysia...very good when they just started business, then when they get famous, the food quality drop! I was very much hoping becoz this is a Taiwanese chain restaurant, they will maintain the standard, but I'm wrong lo!

I was very impressed during my first visit, fresh crab in soup, nice spread of tepanyaki, fresh coconut, fantastic deserts and all. Second and thrid visit still nice, but on my fourth visit....I was totally dissapointed. Me and hubby tot that its not worth it liao, but since they are having 50% off for ladies and I heard they are serving wine....so, we tot we give it a chance la....

Yes, wine is served, but FOOD IS BAD. Cook food served to our table is all cold...Vege...meat, seafood...all cold. Crab is no longer available, and be prepared to queue for tempura prawn and ice-cream. They limit dining for 2 hours, and alot of time spent to queue for food...For the price paid, I personally think its no longer worth it. Anyway, here are some photos to share...

~sashimi - used to have tuna and prawn sashimi - now no more

~prawn in XO soup base...use to have Crab...now no more!

~chawanmushi

~red wine and rum w/ coke

~tempura prawn which we need to queue up to wait, and only manage to get 2

~prawn with yam - this is good

~steam fish

~sukiyaki - with very bad textured beef

C-Jade Express - Midvalley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur

Initially wanted to go for Chilis for dinner, but instead, we ended up deciding to have a quick dinner at C-Jade Express, then drinks at Chilis later....I had kong-pow chicken rice and hubby had Chea-Zai Min (Cart Noodle - HK style).

My choice is definately better than the Cart Noodle. However, I find the Kong-Pow taste is not strong enuf. Anyway, the bowl is made of stone, and really hot - even until I finish my rice..the bowl still hot. HOt food is always nice rite! :)

Hubby's Cart Noodle is special in the sense that you choose the ingredients that you want, price varies from your selection. Soup base is standard, hubby say so-so onli. I did read that the roast duck is nice, so should try next round if i'm there...
