NIJI @ KLGCC

OVERALL: 3 /5
Food: ***
Price: ***
Service: ***
Ambience: ***

Cuisine: Japanese

Before heading to Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club's bowling alley, which we heard had a makeover, we went to NIJI japanese restaurant in the club to satisfy our hunger.


The ambience seemed nice, but the main entrance in the picture above could be improved in my opinion.

A fan of fortune cat? I wonder if they actually work...

Owh... you could see the fresh ingredients in the display case at the sushi bar.
Chawanmushi
Ebiko Sushi
California Temaki
Ikura Sushi
Nabeyaki Udon
Kitsune Udon
Nori Zosui
Fried Ice-cream
Crsipy tempura skin wrapped around vanilla ice-cream, drizzled with chocolate syrup. I think there's a softer batter in between the crispy skin and ice cream, which I liked very much as it added a different texture, I only wish it's thicker.

Overall, good food at affordable price, nice decorations and good service. Manager was quite friendly, came out to greet us and took us to our seats when we entered. I will consider coming back if I visit KLGCC to bowl again.

Hainan Tea @ SS2

OVERALL: 3 /5

Cuisine: Local


Walk into SS2 commercial area during chinese new year and you will be wondering whether you have walked into the scene of Resident Evil. Where is everybody? The usually overcrowded shop lots were unusually deserted with only a handful of shops opened. Only good news was there were plentiful of parking lots.

SS2 is popular for the variety of eateries available, however it was difficult to find one that was open in the evening of chinese new year's eve. We spotted a cafe that look somewhat similar to Old Town Coffee at the corner of the row of shops where Prince Cafe is located. Not having much choice, we gladly gave it a try.

Iced Hainan Tea (behind)  RM 4.80
Hot Hainan Tea (front) RM 3.30
Hainan Premium Coffee  RM4.50

Deep Blue Yogurt  RM 5.80
Deep Blue Yogurt... sounds interesting, still not sure what it was made of, tasted sour, quite a refreshing drink but RM 5.80? Hm... not so sure if I am willing to pay that price.

Fried Sausages  RM 4.20
Fried sausages can't go wrong.

Peanut Butter Thick Toast (left)  RM 3.90
Hainan Brown Toast 3 Layer (right)  RM 3.80
Not good for my cholestrol level with that amount of butter or margarine in Hainan Brown Toast. There were quite a few types of toast in the menu, but I am afraid the one I tried was not as good as Old Town's.

Overall, a cozy and relaxing place to hang out with friends for afternoon tea. Other outlets in Puchong and Low Yat.
