A Fusion of Japanese and American Buffet @ Yama & J
Unknown12:26 AM 3 comments


If you are looking for Japanese food but tired of the same similar tasting of Japanese food, Yama & J is here to offer another alternative. The Japanese buffet prepared by this outlet has an American twist to it which is very unique and you couldn't find it anywhere else in Malaysia. I was around during the opening ceremony and this is my verdict of that very place.

Golden Orchid Oriental Thai Cuisine @ Damansara Jaya
Unknown8:57 PM 0 comments

I believe Thai cuisines are one of Malaysians's favorite foreign cuisines. Probably it was due to an almost similarity of having a hint of spiciness and sourness in most dishes. I myself is a fan of Thai dishes. It is a wonder really as I am not too fond of sourish food. Recently, I had a chance to eat at a newly opened Thai restaurant in Damansara Jaya called Golden Orchid Restaurant. Here is my review of that particular place.



Parking was plentiful upon arriving at this area during dinner time. Probably it is due to being off working hours. The place was only opened last 28th March 2013, so I actually have high expectations for them. Because honestly, most restaurants are at their best when they newly opened.

Bondi Junction @ Setia Walk, Puchong
Unknown1:00 AM 2 comments

Setia Walk located at the bustling city of Puchong, is fast becoming a mall that is packed with a good amount of pubs, restaurants and cafes. The architecture of this place is quite beautiful with a man-made large fountain area smacked right in the middle. Behind this beauty, is a nightmarish architecture disaster at some point. The layout is not only confusing but the lack of proper and informative signage adds to the frustration as well. There are stairs that lead to nowhere besides up and down with no exits, the basement is pretty much filled with lifts but there are no signage dictating where those lift pretty much lead to and despite being one of the largest mall in the area, there is only one small entrance which is pretty much a headache to get into. Despite all that, the amount of pubs and cafes will still appeal to one wishing to chill out after a long day of work.


Enough rambling about the whole Setia Walk. I was tagging along Caroline for a food review one day at this place. The cafe which actually took us a fair amount of time to look for, not the owner's fault but I do pity him, was called Bondi Junction.

Secret of Louisiana @ Kelana Square
Unknown3:34 PM 0 comments

What so secret about Kelana Jaya? I give you a hint. Lakeside. Fine Dining. And something Cajun. Thanks to Raymond for the invite. Locating deep deep in Kelana Square is the one and only Secret of Louisiana.
Upon arriving at this restaurant, I’m greeted by this lovely ambient of the restaurant. Dining by the lakeside with some dim warm lights accompanying the atmosphere, things can never be more soothing and romantic. It’s hard to actually believe that such place actually exist in a busy place like Petaling Jaya. Locating next to the Kelana Jaya lake, this place is a definite gem in the hearts of the city.

The inside

The outside
Surprisingly, I was the earliest there and mostly due to the rare smooth traffic. I guess everyone had already gone back home to celebrate Mooncake Festival that very day. Let me introduce to some of the drinks we had that night. Secret of Louisiana is a restaurant serving some Western and Cajun style cooking originated from Louisiana. Their menu compromises 70% Cajun style cooking and so far, the first restaurant in Malaysia to do so.
