Sorry I haven’t been blogging for a long time. College has taken all of my time again. I have lots of pending food review to make so stay tuned!

I do however wanna make a quick review. Sorry no pictures because I didn’t take my camera with me. Last week my uncle came to visit and I was cruising around Sunway Damansara area and saw a restaurant called “Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa Kampung Bharu“. Now, if you’re familiar with Kampung Bharu, it has the most famous nasi lemak. So my uncle wanted to try it, so I took him and mom there.

So mom and uncle ordered the standard nasi lemak set which comes with teh tarik while I ordered laksa combo set which comes with ice lemon tea and one scoop of ice cream. Drinks came around 5 minutes and nasi lemak shortly after. The nasi lemak was disappointing, since it’s what it is famous for. My mom got like one.. ONE anchovy, and and my uncle got a small amount. Everything was in small amount .. even the sauce which tasted sweet to me. However, I did love the teh tarik.

Now here’s the thing— my laksa did NOT come after half an hour.. which I thought was ridiculous since you’re not frying the laksa, it shouldn’t take long. So I called the waiter, and my laksa came around 40 minutes later, and it was nothing special either. Then they forgot the ice cream, so I had to wait around 5 minutes more after requesting my ice cream. They DID NOT even ask what flavor I wanted.. they assumed I wanted strawberry, but I wanted chocolate.

That was one of the worst dining experience ever. I was already in rush for time so that was uncalled for. So at the counter, I complained to the cashier, and she explained that their system broke down earlier, hence the forgotten order. Wtf. NOBODY mentioned that to me. I had to wait more than half an hour for my food, the waiter did not even inform me, let alone apologize for the late food.

The restaurant has been opened for one week and it was already giving me a bad impression. But to be fair, I’ll revisit it again someday, with my camera, and review the restaurant again because they did have technical difficulties so I can forgive them. Blah.

PS: More food blog coming soon!

IKEA is on of my favorite restaurants. One of the signature dish is the delicious swedish meatballs. That has always been my favorite ‘must get’ food each time I eat there until I tasted the chicken whole leg with swedish herb and lemon sauce.. I still love the meatballs but I wanted a change and taste other food. So yesterday my friend and I went to the restaurant to eat and I get to satisfy my craving for that chicken.

The first I tasted this, the chicken leg was so big and it had so much meat on it that it took me longer than usual to indulge myself into its greatness. However, this time, my 2nd time of tasting it, it was a huge disappointment. The chicken leg was so small that it had barely any meat on it. They were quite generous with the carrots, and the potatoes were soft this time, unlike the first time. I don’t like that kind of potatoes and was hoping I could change to fries but they won’t let us. I did ask for a bit extra sauce cuz the I love the sauce. My friend said it tasted milky-ish.

The meatballs is undoubtedly the best thing ever. Usually we’d request for mashed potatoes but we were told that they don’t have it anymore except on Sundays :( I prefer the presentation of it on a normal big plate (with Sweden flag they used to put couple of years ago) rather than the kiddy plastic plate for the 5 pieces even though the plate would be too big for just 5 pieces. The presentation is not that appealing anymore. Good thing the gravy tastes really nice.

One of the good thing about IKEA is that you can have unlimited refill for your drink. We always have a mixture of all soda drink, which was my idea at first (and everyone thought I was crazy!) to create some sort of tangy, sweet and sour-ish kinda of taste if you mix the drink right!

If it wasn’t for the disappointing chicken, it would’ve been a great meal. If you’re there, try their Daim cake or their other sweet dessert, and also their cinnamon bun.. they’re great to me. I’ve tasted their sandwich before but I thought it tasted bland. They also have like a chef special meal daily which sometime could be good and tasty. If you want something very light and on the go, check out IKEA’s cafe … they have really good curry puff for RM1, drink with unlimited refill, and hotdog with self service topping… so you can put as much sauce, mustard, onions and relish as you want!
