2012 B'day Celeb - Teh Tarik Place, Empire Shopping Gallery

My review is based on my personal point of view. Different people might have different view from mine. Hence, this review is for my blog purposes only ;)

September 19, 2012

On my bday, I will ensure that, I am gonna eat noodles (due to my chinese root, I guess) as it signifies prosperity & longevity in live. It has became a MUST for me every time I celebrated my bday & I make it as a must for Chang2's bday too. It already became our customs & norm I guess,haha..

Anyway, to finish my bday celeb this year, we ate my longevity bday noodles at the Teh Tarik Place, Empire Shopping Gallery after we finished most of the the time at Popular Bookstore (we are both bookaholic,haha). 

I forget to snap the cafe view, hence I google it. Pic credited to http://my.openrice.com/klangvalley/restaurant/teh-tarik-place/18481/. It has smoking & non smoking area, wc is good especially for the non smoker like me as I x have to endure the smell of the cigarettes. Plus, for the smokers, u can enjoy ur teh tarik & cigarette at the same time while chatting wit ur frends..

Mee Hoon Mamak aka my longevity noodles. RM 6.90. Taste-wise: 2/5. It is too salty for our liking. If only it is less salty, sigh.. The portion is a lot though, especially when u already ate at Italiannies & Tutti Frutti prior,haha.

Chang2 opted the bread as we were too full already. Roti Bakar with Butter & Kaya RM2.70. Taste-wise: 2/5. They used the wheatmeal bread here ( we are x the healthy eater,hehe) & the bread does not taste like a very typical toasted bread wc we loved the crunchiness & have a lil bit burn taste. Noted that u can order all sorts of hot plate (roti canai, roti bakar, murtabak) from 2.30pm onwards only.

For beverages, Hot teh tarik (RM2.50 per glass) for me & Cold ribena lychee (RM4.80) for Chang2. Taste-wise: Nothing to shout out, despite their place is called upon teh tarik, i prefer Maple original teh tarik that has more umph & kick, wink..hehe.

Overall, in terms of ambience it is ok & suitable if u wanna have a chat wit ur frends aka lepaking or hang out. However, the chair that usually been used in the old kopitiam is quite small for me as I am a plus size girl. It is quite warm here, perhaps bcoz the staff always let the door wc lead to the smoking area open. The service is quite prompt for us, lucky for us, as I have read in someone blog they encountered lowya service there.

Teh Tarik Place has other branches too. For more info click here.

The one that I visited is at Empire Subang Gallery. Here is the address

Lot LG21, Ground Floor (Besides O'Brien sandwich & on the same floor with Ole-ole Bali &Serai Restaurant).

Happy Tasting Da Jia ;)

2012 B'day Celeb - Tutti Frutti Empire Shopping Gallery

My review is based on my personal point of view. Different people might have different view from mine. Hence, this review is for my blog purposes only ;)

September 19, 2012

After we celebrated my bday at the Italiannies, I wanted to finish our meal by having a dessert coz I am having a sweet tooth moments,haha. I did not order any dessert fr Italiannies coz I felt it is a bit pricey & we were too full at that time. 

After jalan2 in the empire, hence, Chang2 decided to try the frozen yogurt at the Tutti Frutti kiosk.

We were so clueless bout e concept here & were lucky enough that one of the female staff there, willingly to show us how to do it since it is our first time here. Though Tutti Frutti has been in Malaysia market for ancient, haha.. we still x wanna try it coz both of us are very fond towards Baskin Robbin ice cream,hehe.. Nevertheless, we did knew that they served frozen yogurt instead of ice cream & it is a franchise brought by Naza Group. Period. That's all we know bout it,hehe.

Anyway, turn out that the Tutti Frutti is a self service kiosk whereby u need to do everything by yourself. It is a DIY concept. 

1) First, u need to decide the size of your cup. Choose green cup for smaller size or pinky cup if u wanna bigger size. 

This is the DIY yogurt station at Tutti Frutti. 2) Then, bring it to the yogurt station, choose ur fav's flavour & dispense the flavour u wanted. U can mix up as much flavour as u want.  Noted, that x be too excited to press all the button as the price is accordingly to the weight.

I managed to google on the 4 easy steps when you are ordering Tutti Frutti. Pic credited http://yantipadli.blogspot.com/2011/06/yo-froyo-at-tutti-frutti.html

3) After dispensed e frozen yogurt, then u can pick ur fav's toppings such as nata de coco, cereals, marshmallow, chocolate rice, Strawberry/Choc Hershey's syrup (this is what I can recap) & etc.

4) After that, the staff will weight ur cup on the machine & u need to pay it accordingly. If I am not mistaken, 100gram = RM5.30.

For us, in terms of yogurt, we chose Watermelon & Death by chocolate flavours & for toppings, we chose marshmallows, raisins & rice crisp cereal. Taste-wise: 3.5/5. Nothing to shout out actually + we prefer Baskin Robbin more. Nevertheless, as a choc lover, I do love the choc flavour here. For the watermelon, unless u are a fan of sourish flavour, u might opt this flavour, if not, it is x recommended. 

Total price RM 12.70. Worth it or not, u decide it urself, hehe.. However, it was such an experience for us, the first timer here at Tutti Frutti.

For more info on Tutti Frutti, u can click here. For the Empire kiosk (nearby the children's apparel area & Popular Bookstore), this is their address

2012 B'day Celeb - Italiannies @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya

My review is based on my personal point of view. Different people might have different view from mine. Hence, this review is for my blog purposes only ;)

September 19, 2012 

We celebrated our bday lunch at the Italiannies Pasta Pizza & Vino at Empire Subang. Since I am a big fan of Italians food especially pasta, hence Chang2 gave me the option to celeb my bday either at the Italiannies or at Pizza Vivo. We ended up at the Italiannies instead, next time we will definitely visit Pizza Vivo.

When we arrived at the restaurant, it was around 3pm & there is only 1 table occupied at that time. We were welcome cheerfully by one of the manager/staff there. What a good starts for my bday, hehe..

Since I forgot to snap the restaurant entrance, hence I google this pic. Pic credited to http://my.openrice.com/klangvalley/restaurant/italiannies/18278/

As we have read so much in other's blog bout how huge the portion at Italiannies, hence we decided to share our meal. The waiter who took our order is from Philippine. I kinda guess it from his accent. Anyway, I love the service by this Filipino waiter as he kept on smiling & his service is tip top too. Ok, let's continue bout what we ordered that day.

First of all, when u dine in at the Italiannies, u will be served the complementary bread from the restaurant. It is served with olive oil & black oil ( x idea what is it called). Chang2 love this so much as she is a fan of bread,hehe..

We did order a mushroom soup Piccolo in size (Piccolo is for 1 or 2 person per serving)  as we got the complementary bread. The soup is tasty though it is quite salty when it is cold. I recommend to eat it when it is still warm. Anyway, Chang2 love the mushroom soup too. She ended up finishing all the bread & mushroom soup as well, hehe. Taste-wise: 4/5. Price: RM9.90

For our starter, we chose Regular Fried Calamari served with arugula & homemade marinara sauce. We love this calamari too nevertheless it is quite the same with the mushroom, as it is a bit salty especially at the squid tentacles. Taste-wise: 4/5. Price: RM26.90. Not to forget, the portion for regular is huge though. Really worth e price. 

As for the main course, we ordered Classic Pizza (italian chic sausage, mushrooms, pepper wit mozarella & parmesan cheese). They used minced chic & well, the toppings is a lot as compared to other fast food rest. We loved the thin crust & I can say it is worth the money as well. The portion is too big for both of us nebertheless. We ended up tapau the rest of the pizza as we managed to eat 3 slices only. Taste-wise: 3.5/5. I prefer chic chunks rather than minced chic, but other than that it is tasty. Price: RM36.90. 

For pasta, I ordered Classic Carbonara Piccolo size. I highly recommended the pasta here. I love it so much plus as I have mentioned earlier, the portion is huge despite for 1 person (Piccolo). If u consider to order pizza, it is highly recommend that u order pasta in a piccolo size unless u come with a big group. Taste-wise: 5/5. Price: RM24.90.  

For beverages, I ordered Ice Lemon Tea & Chang2 ordered a glass of Pepsi. Price: RM6.90, if u choose bottomless wc they will keep on refill it for u, the price will be RM9.90 per glass.

So, what are u waiting for. Do visit The Italiannies restaurant today & bring ur beloved one..hehe..
