Recent short visit to KL ( 1st visit)

This is a short summary of the recent trip to KL just before the Christmas Holiday.

It was an eventful trip as saw some things which are not your everyday event.
Felt need to be alert there ( personel opinion)

Anyway the below is the fotos of the food that we had during the trip.

Dinner at Hard rock Cafe (Near our hotel)

In general, the food there is quite ok and the portioning is sufficient for at least one.
I loved the mashed potatoes. Very yummy and the chicken was also very nice. Though it would have been better if the meat used is from the thigh as the part they used is the breast meat which is harder than thigh meat.

Other than this slight issue due to personal preference it was an enjoyable meal. Quite good.

The first item is a mixed of their appetizer ( spring roll, buffalo wings, fried potatoes, onion rings and fried fish), accompanied by 4 of the house sauces.

Next, we will review the complimentary breakfast that come with the hotel we were staying in.
The breakfast was very good and there is a good mix of western and eastern crusine. My personel favourite is the freshly made waffle and the egg section in which we can request the chef to prepare a variety of egg dishes. There is also quite a good selection of juices and bread.

Grilled tomato, sausages, sauted mushroom and many other items
Third serving for the day.
After which we proceeded to go shopping at the local mall. Due to the heavy breakfast, therefore we were not able to eat too much for lunch.
Hence we pop into one of the eateries at the basement of the mall that we were at. It is called Emperor Q hence we had the impression that the food were mainly chinese.
However when we looked at the menu, it seem more of a fusion food between Chinese and Japanese food. We saw on the menu roast pork sushi. A first for me.
Anyway we ordered a few dishes to try out. There was nothing outstanding and for the price paid, we could have been better eating the the food mall. Only the mapo tofu was something worth praising. The rest of the dishes were disappointing.
Mapo tofu set.
3 kinds of fried prawns. Nothing outstanding, rather disappointing
Stirred fried sotong. Still ok.
My fren had the below desert which is green tea ice cream in red bean soup. Something unusual but my fren did not really fancy it.
For dinner, we went to a sushi bar for dinner. It was Sushi King. The price was reasonable, however it could have been an off day for them but the food was disappointing. Only the fried items were passable.
The below dish was quite ok.
Softshell crab was nice.
Grilled sotong did not really standout.
Fried shrimp
Grilled salmon set. My fren remarked that the salmon was disappointing.

Salmon sashimi
Salmon sushi
Unagi Sushi
After a day of shopping, when we went back to the hotel, I decided to try their room service.
Hence ordered a nasi goreng and a desert. Both dishes were quite good. Below are the fotos.



It was a short trip to KL which happen to me my first trip there. It was an interesting trip and the only downside is due to the limited time in the country hence did not really have time to try the local food which I heard is quite good. Hope to visit the place again in the near future :)
