The Living Room

During my recent visit in KL, for the 1st time, I decided to have a sumptuous breakfast in the hotel, though we normally did, but for this particular special season, we dined in for good breakfast in The Living Room.

The Living Room, is the place where you could dine in all day, and it’s a casual yet elegant and stylish place to dine.

Breakfast adventure down from all kinds of breads, yogurts, assorted cold platter like hams, pepperoni, etc. Fruits juice like apple, orange, mango, etc… and even a refreshing ‘Virgin Mary’ shot too!

Apart from that… all types of tea for guests to choose from,… liquor for breakfast, anyone?

Food lining up to Japanese, Chinese Dim Sum, Noodle Station, Indian Tossai, American breakfast like egg omelets, sausages and bacons, etc.

Per person is RM50, only if you confirm it upon check in. Otherwise it’s RM60 even if you’re a stay in guest.

I miss the relax morning in The Living Room. Looking at these pictures that I have had in Living Room, I can imagine how relax I was. That was a wonderful short break that I have.

Grandmama's

When I was here last year, I remember I didn’t see this outlet exists. Perhaps it opens after that… when it comes to food in Pavilion, seriously, you maybe wonder what to eat, whether the food nice or not, or is it value for the money or it’s accommodate to our budget, another word we called it – boring.

Grandmama’s though is not any household name, but the food offered isn’t that bad, at least it is compliant to our basic request, like budget, value for money, serving and so on.

I know many Penangite will not agree with me to have Chicken Rice in such a beautiful mall. Cuz, any stalls in the island would have beaten this, in terms of price, serving and the taste.

But when come to a point there’s nothing in the menu the spur up your interest; let’s go back to basic – Chicken Rice (RM13.80).

I have to admit that the chicken rice here is not up to Penang’s standard, but the way they steam the chicken, it steamed to perfection. It makes the chicken tender and juicy, added on some sesame oil, soya sauce and so on. So, conclusion it isn’t bad at all!

What I have was Hakka Fried Rice (RM14.50). What makes me curious to find out is the difference on Hakka Fried Rice and other ordinary fried rice? When they served, I nearly laugh out loud, it was just the colour darker that’s all. Taste wise, it’s full of ‘wok hei’, it’s delicious.

This place though may find it pricey, but with the cramp down in Food Republic and the price that’s selling down there, I rather op for Grandmama’s. At least it saves all the hassles of queuing up for food, and the price is about the same. So, why not, right?

Christmas has just passed, so, how do you all spend it? I had a good one in fact, yes, again it’s in KL. Well, this is more of a remembrance of what we had spent last year, especially with the Mama Mia’s musical stage was on the hit last year.

1st stop was lunch in Starhill Gallery on Christmas Eve… a sumptuous lunch with Abalone Sashimi as appetizer which is on the house some more. That gives all of us a indulge feeling. Not to forget that 2nd plate of Abalone Sashimi is only costs RM38 per piece, all Abalones are imported from Chile.

Next, followed by a variety of sashimi, with the range of White Tuna, Red Tuna and Salmons. Look at the size of these assorted sashimi… I would have to comment that I doubt I could find such generous sashimi in Penang.

Grilled items like Mackerel, Salmons, and Unagi (Eel). It’s juicy and tender.

Fried items like Tempura, we have Prawns and Soft Shell Crabs. The prawns are fresh and it’s big in sizes too, and that goes to the crabs as well.

Teppanyaki items are the butter garlic fried prawns and salmons.

Other items that we had were Teriyaki Chicken, Japanese Soft Tofu, Temaki (Handroll Tuna & Salmon) and Green Peas (Edamame 枝豆 えだまめ).

With all the food that we had, honestly, we could easily skip dinner. We were so full, … well that’s not the end, we were served Green Tea Ice Cream with Red Beans, and also assorted local fruits, papaya, watermelon, honeydew and pineapple.

Though I heard of people commented the service and food are lousy, but honestly, it was superb to us. The service was attentive, and the food serving is value for money too.

What they offered right now is ala carte buffet at RM75++, dinner is buffet style at RM88++.

To all my readers... I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a
Happy Happy New Year!!
