Kitchen Creatures @ Centrepoint, Petaling Jaya

I noticed Kitchen Creatures had opened for business sometime back in mid December (not sure when it actually did). I finally paid a visit recently when I had lunch with Glorious Jade, hoping Kitchen Creatures will be running smoother by then (had read from earlier comments in other blogs about the usual gripe or two when a new restaurant starts its operations). With a simple three worded tagline, "No Frills Dining", did Kitchen Creatures deliver?

No Frills Dining
The view from where I sat ...they have seats out on the balcony too for those who like al-fresco dining (not at noon time with our hot Malaysian weather though!). The place is spacious and cosy while maintaining a simple layout. For more pics of Kitchen Creatures' interior, check out MissyCheerio's post.

Beef Stew
Beef Stew (RM6.80), double simmered in thick gravy. We enjoyed lapping up the delicious thick gravy which we guessed was a blend of potatoes, carrots and onions. However, though the beef cubes were tender, they were a tad lacking in beefy flavour. Overall, mighty good!

Baked Stuffed Mushrooms
When I saw Baked Stuffed Mushrooms (RM7.30) on the menu, I just had to order it since I absolutely adore mushrooms. Aren't they lovely?

A List of My Favourite Things (Food!) - Part One

Meant to post this up for year end but didn't get round to finishing it. As far as food is concern, I'm sure we have our own favourite haunts. As taste is rather subjective, my favourites might not be the same as yours and vice versa. However, I decided to do a posting of my favourite simple fare or street food and snacks of the places that I drop by time and time again in Klang Valley over the years or decades even. Some of these are from rather recent posts and some from several years back. I will definitely continue going to these places in 2010 :o)

Meow Meow Seafood Grill Fish Restaurant @ Dataran Mentari

My first post for 2010!

While driving around Dataran Mentari one night with my family, we looked around the area for dinner before mom and I left for the States. With no particular restaurant in mind, we drove around Dataran Mentari, looking out for something interesting. We passed by the steamboat restaurants (Boy! There are plenty of steamboat restaurants here), finding each crowded and with lines flowing from the pavement, and onto the five foot way and right to the road. Shortly after, our stomachs started to growl and we decided to stop at the first restaurant that had a table for the whole family. Now, most of you know that I tend to steer clear from seafood restaurants since I'm not a fan of such food fare. But as fate would have it...where did we end up?

Proof that God has a sense of humour :o)

Anyway, I usually get the standard reply - There are other stuff you can eat...and with that we went into the the slightly more than half filled restaurant. The place is bright and colourful, exactly how bright and colourful?
Bright and colourful interior
See? Hahaha....the big images of food adorning the wall of Meow Meow Seafood Grill Fish Restaurant got our tummies doing cartwheels!. Apparently, this place started operations a few months back, hence the "new" look!

My bro did the ordering and we sat around waiting for our dishes impatiently since we were famished by then. However, SpareChange and I kept ourselves busy taking pics of the restaurant or any other object that was within the shooting range for that matter! Hahaha...
