Face to face noodle house @ Damansara uptown

Hello makan kaki's!! Feeling hungry already? Then get ready because I'm going to share something delicious! Well actually these days I was not in the mood because study makes me depressed. I need food to makes me feel better and back to the hyper mood. So, I went internet for some research. Finally I found it--> Face to Face noodles house!  I was a big fan of noodles and always craving for noodles,  so for me this was heaven! 



Face to face noodle house is specialised in noodles especially on pan mee. They owned quite a few of outlets in different town, but the one I have visited is from Damansara uptown. I walk there since it was quite near from my college but if you prefer driving, you need to bear in mind that you need to spare some time and patient in looking for a car park, especially during lunch hour. *I know you can imagine that*


When I first walk in, I notice that the design and the table arrangement of the noodle house were clean and neat. You can enjoy your meal in a comfortable environment and the most importantly, air conditioner is provided! Yeah! 
We ordered a few popular dishes, every bowl of noodles only cost us RM6++, it was quite worth since it was a big bowl of it. Even college students like us can afford it. 
For pan mee, you can choose how your pan mee it's going to be served. It could be pinch pan mee, thick or thin pan mee as well, just follow your own comfortable way. 



House Specialty Pan Mee (Soup) RM6.30
Noodle: pinch
I totally recommend this and it warm my stomach with their special homemade soup. The pan mee was just right, not like others restaurant that may over cooked or not fully cooked the pan mee. I dont know how but the fried anchovies and the meat actually brings out the sweetness of the soup, that's makes the pan mee taste even better. *oh~ I'm hungry again*


Chef's Special Pan Mee (Soup) RM6.30
 Noodle: pinch 
For this, it was slightly special than the house specialty pan mee because it has some meat balls and also fried homemade fish toppings, for those who does not like anchovies, you can choose this as well, there is no difference between the price.



 House Specialty Hot & Spicy pan mee (Dry) RM6.30
Noodle: thick
 As shown, this is pan mee without soup. It taste totally different from the soup one. If you prefer a dry pan mee, you can definitely try this!   



For those who likes spicy, you can add this special homemade type of spice in it. Mix it well, it will become super tasty! 


        *Tadaa* I'm drooling already! You must try it! 
Or you would regret! 


                                             Penang Char Koay Teow RM6.90 
Among the noodles I have tried, the koay teow was the least popular one. It was nice, but somehow the koay teow its quite oily. If they would slightly change the oily part, it would be much better because although nowadays we do love food, still we need to take care of our health. You can enjoy more food if you own a healthy body, so take care makan kaki's!



                                         Traditional Sarawak Noodles RM 6.30
Noodle: Thin
This comes with a set of soup with meat balls, drench some soup to the noodle to moist it, it will be more easier to eat, and it bring up the surprise after you drench the soup on the noodle. Trust me, you would love it!  

Lastly, feel free to drop by and give it a try! :)

Free Mori @ Damansara Uptown

By Venus Lee

Hello to all my dearest makan kakis! 
Are you a bread lover? Well, I personally am a big fan of bread! When I was searching for food for my brunch, I  spotted this surprisingly nice place at Damansara Uptown. The decoration of the shop, Free Mori attracted me to walk in, especially the homemade cakes and good-looking pastries displayed at the front of the shop. They used orange and white as their theme colours which creates a warm environment and made me felt so relax to stay there for my break time after my lecture class.  




Besides, the place is clean as they emphasize the hygiene of the shop unlike the other bakeries shop with breadcrumbs on their counter and the tables. Therefore, they gave me a good impression.  
Moreover, they uses jazz and romantic types of song as their background music which creates a comfortable environment.   




There are variety choices of breads and well-decorated pastries. They are all freshly made and the mouth watering looks had increased my appetite of the day!


I think the price was affordable for a college student although it is slightly higher than the bakeries shop outside. I have ordered this Parmesan Ham Bread (RM4.50) as shown in the picture below. The staff there had good attitude and being so friendly to me, she toasted it and cut it into slices for me. There is ham, cheese and mayonnaise in between the Parmesan bread and it taste really good especially the bread which brings a slightly sweet taste.


I have tried out the Honey Caffe Latte (RM 8.90) which is recommended by the staff. It was so special with the combination of coffee and honey. I wonder who came out with this great idea which makes the coffee bitter sweet.


                                                             The Mocha (RM8.90) 

The Hammy Chicken Floss (RM3.80) The appearance is really interesting with the mayonnaise on top but  the chicken floss is slightly spicy. I think those spicy-lovers would love to have a try.


Lastly, feel free to drop by and get some pastries home!

Korean BBQ at Daorae

by Vikki Tan Hui-Qi


To celebrate a friend’s birthday in the early of September, we had brought the birthday girl to a Korean barbeque restaurant in Kepong area, called 다오래 (Daorae). It is well known for being visited by popular Korean artists and bands, making it a must-visit-place for the Malaysian K-pop fans to get closer to its culture, and has numerous outlets all over Malaysia. Despite that, Daorae serves authentic and freshly-made Korean traditional dishes, and most importantly, with reasonable price!









As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the enthusiastic waiters with “안녕하세요 (Annyeong-haseyo)” which means “Hello”. The wall is filled with artists’ autographed posters and pictures taken with the staff. If you were in the restaurant, you would definitely notice that their table arrangements as well as the decorations are neat and clean, providing customers a good place to hang out and have meals at.   











The restaurant itself has two stories, however according to the owner, the upper floor is only open from 5.30pm onwards for weekdays and full day for weekends.




After ordering a few popular main dishes, we were given a bowl of seaweed soup each and a variety of Korean side dishes such as Kimchi, black bean paste and tofu as appetizers.









The first dish came was 삼겹살 (Sam-gyup-sal). It is consisted of grilled pork belly meats. The friendly waiter had assisted us to grill the meat and cut it into pieces.










I was drooling when my all-time favourite, 떡볶이 (Ddeok-bo-kki), came following the meat dish. This is a dish of sliced spicy rice cakes, egg, fish cakes, vegetables and seasonings, commonly sold on the streets in Korea. Frankly speaking, I am practically not good in eating spicy food, not when it comes to this Korean rice cake!




We ordered 삼게탕(Sam-gye-tang) as well, which is literally translated as chicken ginseng soup. It was my first time trying this dish although I had been eating Korean food for many times. With the addition of traditional herbs, the essence of the chicken dissolves well in the soup. For a second I even thought it was the traditional chicken soup! 






The last dish was the korean pancake, called Pa-jeon. Apparently the steps of making pa-jeon are similar to that of western pancake (and the taste of the pancake as well), except that pa-jeon comes with vegetables and seafood such as squid and prawns in it.




Not forget to mention that for desserts, fresh and juicy watermelons and a bowl of ginger tea were served at the end of our meal.







The total bill turned out to be RM165, including 10% of government tax and service tax each. With the reasonable pricing and satisfying services, I would say that this restaurant deserves a second visit!
