The BBQ Corner – Raw ingredients

Charcoal BBQ grill in action

CHARCOAL BBQ

Seriously I found that this charcoal BBQ section did not impress me that much if compared to the Portuguese Grill(!!) at the later part.

Apex Benggali Peanut & Butter Toast

Apex Benggali Peanut & Butter Toast

I frequent Apex mainly because of its cozy cooling ambience and their Benggali Bread series! Not fancy on any of their food though.

I could not find any other similar kopitiams (which I need not mention their names here) that serve benggali bread like APEX does.

I particularly love its Peanut & Butter Toast! Look carefully at the price, RM3.80! Orrrghhh! CKA leh! :)

Now, compared with this one, Kaya & Butter Toast priced at RM1.80. There is a Two-Ringgit difference oh!!! [...]

Hardwicke House Buffet Lunch

Hardwicke House Buffet Lunch

Hardwicke Housee Buffet Lunch @ Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah

We went on last Saturday. Price per head is RM22++ (RM25.30 nett).
The spread of food is pretty similar to what being offered in Buffet Dinner except tandoori dishes and BBQ.

Reminder : Sitting inside the dining hall is cooler than sitting at the private /VIP corner.

The food quality is average only. The only thing I enjoyed most is the long hours of sitting there reading my novel with some food to munch along.

Spring Gourmet & Dessert

Spring Gourmet & Dessert

SPRING Gourmet & Dessert @ E-Gate

When seeing the name of this restaurant, I thought it is under the same management as The Sun @ Macalister Road (Spring Chamber). After having meal here, then only I realized,”Oh… it’s actually Manila Place!”

Very simple interior deco.

Spicy Olio Pasta (RM12.90) – I was surprised when this dish was served. I didn’t expect to get myself a dish of ‘satisfaction’ with al-dente pasta. I know this is called ‘Spicy Olio’ but I would be more pleased if the spiciness could be less.

Demax Restaurant (Food Review)

Demax Restaurant (港式小食館) (Food Review)

I decided to give the new management a chance after seeing those responses shooting and flying all over the places at the previous muntah darah post.

Clockwise from Top Left :
Detox health drink 排 毒 健 康 飲 品 (Carrot, cucumber, apple, beetroot, celery) RM5.90
滄 海 一 香 Shandy +Champaign + Sea coconut (RM5.90) – I like this one! [My rating : 8/10]
Ice Blended Smoothies Blackcurrant (RM4.50)
Ice Blended Smoothies Mango (RM4.50)
Ice Blended Smoothies Milo (RM4.50)
Fresh Lemon Honey Drink (RM3.50)


Set Lunch : Big Bowl Rice 大碗飯 (comes with Rice + Soup + Drink + Fruit) RM11.90 nett.
Drink choice : Yin Yong Milk Tea, Soya Milk or Lemon Tea.

Some of the choices for Big Bowl Rice are:
Special Fried Fish (Saa Bee Hu) 三味魚. The taste is too strong for me. [My rating : 7/10]

Kong pou Pork . Lack of ‘kong pou’ in this pork. [My rating : 5/10]

Sweet & Sour Chicken. I found this combination rather weird as normally sweet and sour goes to fish?! [My rating : 5/10]

Ice Sour Plum Pork Rib 冰 梅 骨 (Small RM8.50) . I tasted sour but some others tasted sweet instead?! [My rating : 6/10]

Special Tofu 招 牌 豆 腐 (Small RM8.00 / Medium RM10.00 / Large RM12.00) [My rating : 6/10]


Curry Sotong (RM8.00) [My rating : 8/10]

Oyster Noodle (RM5.80) [My rating : 6/10]

Tomyam Noodles (RM5.80) – the tomyam is sweet in its soup base. [My rating : 6/10].


Thai Style Chicken 泰 式 雞 (Medium RM14.00) [My rating : 8/10]


Special Fried Rice 霸 王 炒 飯 (RM12.00 – wil revise price later). [My rating : 8/10]


Upstair can be very lounge feel.


Thanks to Mr. Tonny for the invitation and Mary below for the gathering of floggers. :)
I personally feel that this restaurant has room to improve starting from beginning of Mac. Do hope to see more signature dishes from Demax. Consistency in food quality must be ensured in order to attract customer stream.
