Food: Barra

One Tuesday night, the whole lot of us, except for the night shift, went out for dinner. You guys noticed the row of shops next to Tesco Ampang?

If you are standing at the parking lot of Tesco Ampang, you can see a huge Linda Onn poster, peddling her new restaurant selling Assam Pedas. But the poster shows her in a black dress holding a chili. Hmmm...

Anyways, those are the new blocks of shop and we went to the one behind Linda Onn's shop. It's called Barra.

Barra's Front

It was a new establishment. One of them SMEs. As you can see from the banner, Barra offers seafood, western cuisines and local favorites.

Zafirah Najmi's Sweet & Sour Fish

Mine... the House Specialty, Nasi Goreng Barra
Husna Afifi's Alfredo Pasta

ABC

Forgot the name of this dish but it's fried bananas with shredded coconut and brown sugar

Nice menu. I loved the nasi goreng Barra and the banana dish was divine... but more importantly, the company we kept... it was nice to have everyone there for dinner... :)

Food: Rosdet

After work, around midnight, we all went to Kg Baru for food. Someone chose to go for Bubur Berlauk so someone pointed out to Rosdet Tomyam in Kg Baru.

It's located near the KL International Hotel. The name of the street eludes me. This was a retro post AKA I only have the time to upload these now...

They also serve other stuff too...

You choose the 'lauks' from this display

Plenty to choose from

The bubur...

My fave... salted fish...

Anchovies... or ikan bilis... hmm, are anchovies ikan bilis?

Some sort of crispy fish

Ikan bilis still...

Food: Dome

One Friday afternoon, or should I say morning, me and one of the anchors went to KLCC for a shopping spree. Or should I say she was shopping and I was the shopaholic-on-window-shopping-mode.

So we went to a few places and she finally found a cute top at Parkson. Mission accomplished. So we set out to find a place for brunch. Or was it lunch already? Hmm...

It was a toss-up between Sushi King (I mentioned this was my fave haunt right?) and Dome. Since I already had sushi, we opted for Dome.

(l-r) Double Choc Ice Blended, Berry Ice Blended

Breakfast Plate

Turmeric Chicken

I have a thing about American-style breakfast (continental?), whenever I get up very early, I'd attempt to find a McDonald's for their Big Breakfast... La Bodega also has nice all-day breakfast food... This platter has eggs, hash browns, breakfast beef strips, tomatoes, baked beans and mushrooms. Yummy.

Ayu had the turmeric chicken, which I did not even bother looking at since I was busy stuffing down the breakfast platter. :)

Oh, gotta give shout out to Dome and their super comfy chair. Feels like dining on a cloud.

How come the chair looks bigger in Ayu's photo?? :P

Food: Carlos

Went to Pavilion with colleagues. One of them wanted to shop for cute tops. I checked out the book store while she shopped.

After the shopping, it was time for dinner. After much deliberation, we decided to go to Carlos. Mostly because of the oyster. During Ramadan, me and her went to Paya Serai at PJ Hilton and feasted on buffet food courtesy of Northport. :)

We also got to feast on fresh oysters and we've been jonesing for oysters ever since.

RM2 per shell is pretty cheap eh?

The menu

I ordered the chili con carne

Grilled potato skin

Chicken Wings (oopsy, that's not my alcoholic beverage...)

Smoked salmon salad

Ayu Roslan with her oysters

My oyster plate

The chili con carne was quite excellent. I loved it, except for the fact the cheese was not melted thoroughly. Still chunks of it in the chili.

The grilled potato skins are nice, but they crumble though. The smoked salmon was succulent too. In case you're wondering, I did not order everything. I tasted my colleagues' dishes.

The oysters are great. We ended up ordering close to twenty shells. Methinks Gout-Town is the nearest pit stop...

Anyways, the best chili I've had so far is at Carlos. Second best, Carl's Jr. Third is Chili's. Ironic that Chili's would place third when its name is the food itself...

Venue: Carlos, Pavilion

Cost: Rm150
