Thai U Up & BBQ Restaurant

This is the second time it happens with Minamotonoya Cafe, whereby the first time I went there, it was closed and I went to Gaga Western Food and this time round to, Thai U Up. I was not sure how great the food is as I only saw the kitchen and we entered from behind so it is also a surprise for us.

The ambiance is quite sophisticated and high class. The tables are all wooden. On the walls are pictures of Buddha.

Pineapple Fried Rice (RM 12.50) 

The fried rice is amazing, very fragrant though the portion is a bit too small. There are a lot of seafood and big prawns and octopus too.

Green Curry Chicken Laksa (RM 15) 

We were shocked when only the green curry arrived in a mini wok. Then when the original thai rice flour laksa noodles came separately, we put two and two together and realized it belonged together. The curry is very thick, fragrant and spicy enough. Due to the chef and waitresses are Thai origin, the laksa is amazing. My only complaint is there was not enough 'kuah' / gravy. The chicken pieces were also tender. I also like the green chilli spices and also small pieces of eggplant.

Kha Nom Jeen Kaeng BBQ Lamb (RM 20) 

This restaurant is also famous for BBQ food so we decided to give it a try. The BBQ lamb was so tender, fragrant and simply fabulous. It was not as chewy as I thought. The sambal and sauces are also spicy enough and superb.

Lemongrass Juice (RM 3.50) 

The lemongrass juice is just normal.

Minamotonoya Cafe

I have always been keeping the strong desire to dine here ever since I saw many blogs raving about this place. The blogs do not talk about much food choices except spaghetti, matcha latte and the highlight, the Mizu  Mochi jelly which was the main reason that made me want to come here. There was once we came here but it was closed on a Sunday. We almost thought it was bankrupt.

The ambience is no longer like what most blogs talk about because they have shifted and there was no origami decoration. There are some remnants like cute handmade cartoons on the table to act as table number.

I saw that there was not much in the menu and the pasta mostly are too simple with just cherry tomato and pesto sauce. So I decided to go opposite to try other food for dinner before coming back for dessert.

Mizu Mochi (RM 6.90) 

It was a big shock when this arrived. It was so small, just a crystal wobbly jelly on a small saucer with cat face! The taste is just average for me but Jonathan said we were paying for water!

Comparison of how small the mizu mochi is ! 

Hot Chocolate (RM 8.90) 

The hot chocolate is very thick and has a bitter chocolatey taste which makes it better than the Matcha Latte.

Matcha Latte (RM 9.90) 

The Matcha Latte is too milky and not like the original matcha I thought of.

Coffee Darling

Darling, do you want coffee? Come on, let's have some!

I have passed by this place so many times that I was a little curious on the coffee. One day, after the male fitting at the studio in SS2, I decided to try this place out. Moreover, I was a little frustrated and had a headache and the only way to cure my headache is to have coffee.

There was quite a number of youth hanging out there on a Saturday.

They recommended Taufufa Latte to me but  I dared not try it. It was said to be quite famous, after I saw it in blogs.

I ordered the Matcha Coffee which was surprisingly quite ok. The matcha taste was also strong enough.

Organic Express

My colleague felt like eating vegetarian lunch and asked me whether I knew anywhere for this place. I suggested we come here since I have never eaten here before. Only when the food came did he tell me that he has been here before with other colleagues. The place was swarming with lunch crowd and the most amazing and surprising thing was that the food came so fast!

We ordered the Pressed Fruit Juice (RM 17.90) which was so natural, sweet and organic. I love the taste better than the fruit juice.

We also had Vegetarian Fried Bihun (RM 12.90) which reminded me of what my mother used to cook for me for breakfast. It was great and not as oily as how the rest cook it. I also like the fact that there was acar (carrot, cucumber and cabbage) as sides. It reminds me of Penang nyonya food.

The Petai Fried Rice (RM 12.90) was something I could not get my hands off it. The petai is not smelly at all and there were so much vegetables inside. I asked for sambal which is not even oily like how most shops in KL does.

Ah Gong XO Cuisine

I am a big fan of fish head. This time round I thought of trying this place since I passed by a few times but didn't try it because my friend thought it was not that great after they shifted to new location.

Fish Head Noodles 

Obviously we ordered the most famous dish here - XO Fish Head Noodles. The soup was so amazing and I can literally taste the wine inside! It tasted great with thick noodles.

Steamed - 3 types of egg 

I am another fan of steamed egg so I ordered this which has 3 types of eggs which are century egg, duck egg and chicken egg.

Pork Rib 

The deep fried pork rib was so incredible and sweet and crispy.

Super Kitchen Chilli Pan Mee

It has been 2-3 years since I last came here with my parents. I used to come here with my colleagues. I ordered the signature dry chilli pan mee with a half-boiled egg.

I also ordered my favourite Umbra Juice, which reminded me of Penang.
