Afternoon Tea at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur

This was my second visit to the Colonial Cafe at The Majestic Hotel KL for their afternoon tea, the first time was 2 years back. I remembered that I enjoyed a lot during my first visit. It was my best friend birthday last week, she said that she wanted a tea session as her birthday celebration and we both decided to come here again. They do take walk-ins but I've made reservation few days earlier to avoid disappointment upon our visit. They do provide different kinds of rooms with different rates for their afternoon tea. There are Orchid Conservatory (RM88++ per pax), Drawing Room (RM68++ per pax) and the Colonial Cafe (RM58 nett per pax). I'm not sure about the rates for both the Orchid Conservatory and Drawing Room now as those prices mentioned above were the previous rates. We went for the basic afternoon tea at the Colonial Cafe. Their staffs were very attentive and friendly, we were served right away upon our arrival. 


Very lovely ambiance they have there.



This is the set for 2 persons. 
They provide unlimited refill for the tea that comes with the set. 
They do have other choices of tea and you can always top up to other selections of tea.
After our tea set was served, the staff slowly explained the selection of food tier by tier to us.
Really like their great services.
There was also pianist playing the piano through out the tea session. We can enjoy great music and our tea at the same time, it was so soothing and relaxing!

The tea set include sweet desserts like cakes and tarts, scones, sandwiches and hot savories.
It seems like the portion is quite small for two persons but we couldn't finish them!
Especially the scones, they were very filling!


Two different kinds of scones, plain scones and scone with raisins.
And of course, cream and jam the perfect matches for scones.

Sandwiches which include smoked salmon, tuna, egg, chicken and vegetarian pesto.

Hot savories which include cheese sticks, coconut balls and lamb pies.
I personally love the lamb pie!

RM58 nett per pax for the tea set may seems a bit pricey but we also pay for the beautiful environment and excellent service. I think it's worth a try if you are looking for afternoon tea place, if you want a fresher environment you can opt for the Orchid Conservatory or if you prefer enjoying your tea quietly, go for the Drawing Room. 
Their afternoon tea is served from 3pm-6pm daily. It's better to make reservation instead of walk-in.

Palsaik Korean BBQ Restaurant, Solaris Mont Kiara

Palsaik Korean BBQ Restaurant their first branch in Solaris Mont Kiara last year if I'm not mistaken. It's located at the first floor of the block J, which is right above MOC. "Palsaik" means 8 colours in Korean. And yes, they have 8 kind of different flavours of pork belly in 8 different colours as well. Their main menu is very simple as they only have 3 different sets to choose from. They do have side menu and beverage to add one but the choices are limited.

The 3 main sets are :
1. 3 colours set with pork belly for 2 pax, seafood soup, kimchi or deodeok. (RM92)
2. 8 colours set with pork belly for 3-4 pax and seafood soup. (RM122)
3. Premium set with 8 colours of pork belly for 3-4pax, seafood soup, premium kimchi and deodeok. (RM148)
All prices are exlcusive of 6% GST. 
We went in a group of 4 and we had the set 2. There are salads, sauce and different kind of vegetables that come together with the set. They do provide free water for everyone and it's refillable. 

That one row of vegetables placed in a wooden plate beside the table comes together with the set.

The seafood soup, as you can see it's clear soup now. 
We have basic kimchi and sprouts in this set as well. 

The 8 flavours of pork belly. Pardon the photography skills. 
They were placed on the side of our table too. 
The wooden tray was printed with flavours of the respective marinated pork belly.
The 8 flavours are ginseng, wine, pine, garlic, herb, curry, soy bean and hot pepper. 
We don't have to grill the pork belly ourselves, the waiters will help us in cooking them.
They cooked the pork belly according to the placing of the pork in the plate. 
So the sequence went exactly like how I stated them above. 


The seafood soup.
Remember that I mentioned above that it was a clear soup, after being cooked for a while, the waiter stirred the soup and we noticed there were some special sauce underneath the soup and it turned out to be like this. It wasn't spicy for 4 of us.


The services were really fast and overall it was quite okayy but I think the flavouring of the porks could have been stronger as we can't really differentiate which is which without referring to the tray. And I guess because it's weekend so there were more crowd during that time, chances of having to queue during weekend is quite high. The prices are reasonable as compared to some other korean restaurants. They do have a few branches now, check out their website for more info.

Fukuya

Fukuya, or literally translated as The House of Happiness according to their website, serves authentic japanese cuisine. I knew about this restaurant from a friend, I did some online research on it and decided to give it a try! Fukuya is located at Jalan Delima, which is just right beside Levain. They do provide parking for customers in front of their restaurant. The restaurant was designed in the idea of reminiscing the wealthy family home back in those times. Too bad it was a rainy day and I didn't manage to snap any photo of the restaurant but I can tell it looks exactly like what they shown in their website! I love the ambiance and setting of the restaurant, they do have small tables suitable for intimates dates and large table for a group meal and even a few private rooms for customers who made special reservation. My boyfriend made reservation earlier just to avoid disappointment upon our visit. Upon arrival, we were greeted by one of the staff and were led to our table. They provide set menu as well as a la carte menu. We decided to have traditional set dinner menu or known as Yu-Shoku Zen. I had sashimi set (RM110) and my boyfriend had tempura set (RM92).  

Appetizer. 
Grilled scallop, tamago, eggplant, jellyfish, shishamo and fried fish.


Chawanmushi. I love this!


Sashimi that comes together with tempura set but boyfriend doesn't eat sashimi so I had them all.
And yes, the tempura for my set went into his stomach. 
Too bad I forgot to take a photo of it.


My main course. 
Rice, pickles, miso soup and assorted sashimi.


His main course.


Honey dew as dessert.
Very fresh and sweet!

Overall, it was a great dining experience. Their staffs were very attentive and the pacing of the meal was consistent but I wish it could be slower by a bit for slow eater like me. Would come back to try our their kaiseki next time.

Betjeman & Barton, One Utama

Hello! Uni started last week and it's almost the end of the second week now. I'm a third year student now, feeling old lol. Anyway, that's not the main point. One of my friend told me about this tea room called Betjeman & Barton located at One Utama, and I've been wanting to try it long time ago. I read some reviews online and realized they do serve tea set and all of them are good reviews. So I went with my boyfriend this afternoon and wish to give it a try. But you know whattttt, their tea set is only serve during weekends, quite disappointing but we ordered something else since we were already there. 

Nice ambience they have. 

Moi.

Pardon my photography skills here. 
We had 4 macarons (RM4.50 for one), black sesame, salted caramel, hazelnut and raspberry.
Personally love the salted caramel macaron.
The cake was tiramisu almond caramel (RM15.90), I LOVE THIS.
Both of us shared a pot of tea (RM27 for a pot which is sufficient up to 4 cups).
We had "The Vert Memory", it's a green tea based tea with cherry and rose aroma.

I think it's worth a try. It's located at the ground floor of One Utama's old wing, opposite Grand Imperial. And ya, I will definitely come back during weekends for their tea set hahahaha.
Till then, byebye.

恩瑜儿


恩瑜是我在中六才认识的朋友
我们并不同班 但我们同一个补习
她是我的同桌 
其实一开始我们也没什么交谈
而我常常都会像她讨教数学的解答 恩瑜数学很厉害哦!
后来也不知道怎么样 就渐渐熟络起来
然后发现其实很好聊
可是你知道每次在便要好的时候就是离别的时候
我们中六毕业了
恩瑜去了台湾上大学
我们大概一年也只见一次面
就是过新年假期的时候
但是今年因为假期太短我们没有见到面
然后然后
我很临时的得到了去台湾的暑期短修的机会
决定一定要去台北找恩瑜!
哈哈哈
你知道那种我不管我就是要找她的感觉(自己发神经当中
虽然一开始的计划被台风打乱了
后来还是见到面了
真的很开心
发现其实那种还是很好聊的感觉很棒
虽然真的认识没几年
但就这样有了另一个真心的朋友的感觉很好
友谊永固哦!

Banana Hostel

前几天上了台北玩 这趟旅程其实算是蛮临时才决定的
然后找了很多家旅舍都客满了
在朋友的介绍下找到这间在东门的 Banana Hostel 发现还有床位就赶快付订金了
怎么知道在我们要去的前两天却传来台风即将来袭的警报
一方面担心危险 另一方面又担心付了的订金就这样没了
后来想了很久 还是决定先上去再说 
这时候朋友却收到老板的讯息说如果要取消住宿的话可以全额退款
顿时觉得老板人太好了 佛心来着
可是我们还是去了啦 哈哈
Banana 很靠近捷运东门站,出来走不到两分钟就到了
可是它位于二楼所以会比较难找到 
一上来看到就非常喜欢
完全是家的感觉啊
我们原本是打算住周末两晚 一个晚上每个人 NT650 还附早餐
之后我们再延长一晚 每个人只要 NT500 因为平日会比较便宜
这里虽然不大 但几乎什么设备都有了
无线网络,24小时的冷气,热水澡,电视,电脑,旅游资讯,厨房
我们住的都不想走了呢
                                 

二楼的模样
远处那位就是人很好的老板


台风天在屋里玩游戏


原谅我的拍照技术哈哈


有没有很家的感觉?

在这里住了三个晚上
认识了很多朋友
有来打工换宿的 Kim,来自西班牙的 Antonio,台中的高材生阿缪
想念那天晚上大家一起吃seven买回来的宵夜然后聊天

可以上他们的脸书看看哦
也可以在这里找到
照片跟现实完全一样啊!
以后有机会我会再来!
