Food: 5.1 Cafe Gallery @ Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur

Recently,  I realised that Sri Petaling had been gaining popularity for cafes and restaurants owner mainly for its strategic location south to the city centre of Kuala Lumpur near Happy Garden, Kuchai Lama and Bukit Jalil. This place became popular also due to the few nearby Universities namely International Medical University(IMU) and Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT).

As a student of IMU myself, Sri Petaling had been my place to hangout with my friends during breaks and free time. My friends and I decided to drop by this little cafe located right above "Tanjung Sepat Snack Shop". 

This cafe gave me a very homey and a comfy feel to it where I can chill and relax from my hectic University schedule. Decorations here are best for those of you who likes photography and to update your instagram account! :)

Some of the cute decorations which I found on the wall of the cafe. 

Here's some of the MAINS that we had during the dinner session!

Tortilla Chicken

[RECOMMENDED!!!]

RM15.90

This platter of tasty-chunky deboned chicken thigh is well marinated and fried to perfection before being drizzled with black pepper sauce wrapped with tortilla wrap. I particularly love the generosity in this plate of goodness! This is one of my personal recommendation to you when you drop by!!!

Followed by pizzas, we have this 5.1 tortilla pizzas priced at RM12.90. I find this pretty unique as you'll get tortilla chips as the base of the pizza rather than the usual dough. However, this pizza should be eaten fresh out from the moment it is serve to you! Otherwise, the tortilla chips beneath it will turn soggy.

Sausage Tortilla Pizza

RM12.90

Sensational Bites

RM12.90

For those of you who loves sausage, this might just be the plate you'll enjoy! For a complete meal, this plate consist of cheese, chicken ham, crab roll, lettuce, and not forgetting the premium sausages that topped it off too! :)

Desserts

It's finally time for dessert! There will always be space for dessert no matter how filled our tummy is :)

Crispy Crunch Banana

RM12.90

Chocolate, banana, vanilla ice cream and strawberry always goes well together! One of the best dessert served here at 5.1 Cafe Gallery! Worth the try!

Last but not least, how can we not try their coffee when we are already here! Here's some of their signature drinks served here!

Rose Latte

I like the latte art made here at 5.1 Cafe Gallery! So creatively cute! A sleeping cat dreaming of a fish on a cup of rose infused cup of latte. 

Mocha

Picture of a robot on a cup of Mocha. This cuppa could easily be one of the best Mocha I've ever had. Perfect combination of chocolate, coffee and milk in this cup!

Matcha Latte

This is the end of my post on 5.1  Cafe Gallery. The ambience and surrounding here gives a very comfortable feel to its patrons to chill, relax, unwind with a good book over the weekend. Food and drinks here are not too bad unlike the usual cafe food that you find in other cafes.

Food: Alanna's Kitchen @ Pandan Indah, Ampang

Do you enjoy Arabic food as much as I do? If you do, you should really check out Alanna's Kitchen @ Pandan Indah, Ampang. They serve a combination of fusion & arabic food here with affordable price!

Recently, as I was wondering the street around Pandan Indah for food, I came across this humble little eatery which I decided to try it out. Little did I know, the food was unexpectedly good! 

Do not be deceived about the look of this eatery, it has a very simple looking yet cozy & comfy environment for its patrons. Service here is good and most importantly, it is very suitable for friends and family gatherings!

Let me take you through my dinner session :) 

Arabic Chicken Mandy

RM9.90 

Started the night with this plate of "Arabic style Chicken Rice". I like the fragrant of the rice which is complimented by the well marinated chunky piece of chicken. I like the chilli on the side particularly as it is sourish and spicy which goes well with the chicken and rice. 

Alana's Special Grilled Chicken

RM12.90

(Comes with a COMPLIMENTARY drinks)

A very special "edition" of Grilled chicken here which I personally thinks this could be the "healthier" choice of way of cooking compared to Arabic Chicken Mandy. Apart from being healthier, I personally finds this a little tastier too :)

Spaghetti Carbonara

RM10.90

Grilled Chicken Chop

(Choice of mushroom or black pepper sauce)

RM9.90

Tender and succulent chicken thigh that is flavourful from its marination. Both black pepper and mushroom sauce are homemade. I personally would recommend the black pepper sauce :)

Seafood Tomyam with rice and drinks

RM9.90

Affordable pot of tomyam with generous portion of clams, squids, prawns, mushrooms and various other ingredients added into it. The tomyam has a perfect combination of spicy and sour. Anyway, this is a total steal away for those seafood tomyam lovers out there!

Arabic Chicken Haneeth with rice and drinks

RM9.90

My first impression of this dish is to be rather weird as it has many different spices & ingredients mixed together in a pot. The style of this dish appears to be more Arabian and has a very fragrant combination of spices taste to it. This dish might be very subjective, those who loves spices will definitely love this pot of goodness!

Chocolate muffins

Some desserts for our palate after such hearty meal. Sweet and tasty cup cakes, however, I personally finds it a little too dry. Just a little more moist to it should do the job!

They also serve homemade cake slices here. The cake slices here are in fact one of the best selling food here at Alana's Kitchen! The cakes will replenish every 2 days! My personal favourite would be the cheesecake series! The texture and flavour of the cheesecakes compliments each other very well and does not over power one another. 

RM9.90

 Blueberry Cheesecake, Oreo Cheesecake, Greentea Cheesecake, Dark Forest Cheesecake

RM 8.90

Dark forest Mousse, Hazelnut Mousse

*All cakes comes with a choice of black coffee, earl grey tea or soft drinks that is available the whole day! (MORNING - NIGHT)

Food: Sen of Thai @ Damansara Uptown

Recently, I was invited for a blogger's gathering organised by Tap by Seeties. Now that I'm part of Seeties, it's fun to be able to meet and mingle with so many other bloggers especially during gatherings like that. So, if you're a blogger yourself too, come on and be part of TAP by Seeties.




Anyway, the gathering that I've attended was held at Sen of Thai, Damansara Uptown. Knowing that it'll be Thai food, I immediately agreed to go without any doubt!

While waiting for the rest of the bloggers to arrive, I decided to go round and take a few shots of the place.

The comfy and cozy surrounding suitable for friends and family gathering

You can even have a corner for yourself if you wish to have a little privacy for you and your love ones :)

It's finally time to eat! Being a foodie myself, I always look forward to times when there is food especially food that I love a lot!

A top view of everything that we had during the gathering. Next, allow me to introduce to you some of my favourites among them!

Soups

Tom Yum Goong
RM28

How can you miss this pot of tomyum especially when you're having Thai food right? This was one of the best tomyum I have ever tried here in KL. I love the perfect balance of sour and spicy and the generous amount of chickens, mushrooms and other ingredients in it. Just the bowl to satisfy your tomyum cravings!

Thai baked mussels in claypot with basil leaves
RM29

The soup taste was excellent having the perfect balance of sour and spicy which is just nice to my taste buds. The mussels was just nicely cooked as it was still chewy and nice!

Appetizers

Steamed prawn topped with lime chilli sauce
RM16

Prawn was nicely steamed as it still contain the moisture in it which makes it very bouncy & fresh. However, I personally find this dish a tad bit spicy to my likings as cut chillies are also added on the prawn for an extra "oom" to it! Be sure to remove them if you can't take spicy!

Crab Spring Roll
RM16

This has a very crispy skin on the outside complimented by some fresh crab meat as the stuffings! Eaten best with the chilli sauce dip at the side!

Yam Spring Roll
RM12

Mains

Stir fried brocolli with scallops
RM24

Chinese style stir fried brocolli with generous portion of scallops to topped it off!

Deep Fried Siakap with Signature Thai Chilli sauce
RM55

I've always like deep fried fishes especially more when they are fresh! In addition to the crispy skin on the surface, you can also taste the sweetness and freshness of  the flesh beneath it. A dish totally to go for! Complimented well with the Signature Thai Chilli Sauce which gives it some extra boost to it!

Sizzling beef with black pepper sauce
RM20

Cranberry Pineapple fried rice
RM16

Classic Pad Thai
RM15

Desserts

 Tab Tim Krob  (RM8.50)
&
Sago Honeydew(RM8.50)

Whenever I visit a Thai restaurant, I will be definitely on the look out for this dessert! Tab Tim Krob (Water Chestnut) served with shaved ice, jack fruits and soaked with sweetened coconut milk. Just refreshing!

Royal Thai Look Chop
RM12 for 6 pieces

Last but not least, Sen of Thai serves good food while providing great surrounding and comfortable ambience for it's patrons. If you're looking for a place with comfy and cozy environment while satisfying your Thai food cravings, head on to Sen of Thai @ Damansara Uptown.
