I will be going to Hong Kong during the Raya holidays. Desserts are very popular in Hong Kong and Lucky Dessert is one of the dessert house that we had planned to visit. After knowing that Lucky Dessert had a branch in Sunway Giza Mall, we decided to make our way to Kota Damansara to try them out first. Lucky Dessert is currently having promotion meals priced at RM16.80 for 2 pax or RM8.90 for 1 person.

As we wanted to try more, we ordered our desserts ala carte. We ordered the Banana Krisp priced at RM12.00. It was crispy on the outside but soft inside. I expected this dessert to be sweet but it wasn’t. So if you like it sweeter, you may sweeted it up with the aising sugar which were carefully sprinkled on the plate so if you like it sweeter. I find this dessert pretty as it has some “snowy effect”.

Mango Roll has two small slices priced at RM6.00. Quite expensive if you ask me.

Trinity Durian Delight priced at RM10.00 is one of my favourite. This dessert is nice to be taken on a hot day. It is sweet but slightly bitter due to the bitterish taste from the durian and it is best taken cold. I would recommend you this if you are a durian lover.

Durian Wrapz was slightly bitter too. If it was sweeter, I would have like it better. I find it too bitter for it to be a dessert. Desserts are suppose to be sweet, right?

After passing your plate to the chefs, they will first boil it in hot water. When the seafood is ready, it will be fried over big fire, adding sauces and chili paste along the way. It was really good, the seafood are fresh. So, even if the queue is really long, just queue for it. You will not regret it.

I was having my exam last month and like everyone else, I didn’t have the mood to eat. All I can think of is to get my stomach filled and to continue studying until the day of my exam. But VK told me that if I want to do well in my exams, one of the most important thing I have to do is to make my stomach happy. “What will make your stomach happy if not for good food”, he says. And so, very reluctantly, I grab my gears and we head on to Thai Garden Village.

As it was the first time we were at Thai Garden Village, we ordered their restaurant favourites – steamed lala. The lalas were imported from the Phillipines, and I got to say that this is the best steamed lala I’ve ever tasted. It was really fresh and tasty. Thai Garden Village is very generous with their ingredients, look at the amount of garlics and gingers on our lalas.

Claypot Crab with Vermicille is one their recommended dish too. The crab is so huge that it was crammed to fit the claypot. This is the biggest crab that I’ve eaten. It was really meaty. The only down side to this dish is that the vermicille was a little bit too salty towards the end.

Kang Kung belacan – one of the best that I’ve ever had.

Barbeque Squid was a little bit rubbery. I didn’t really like it because it attracts a lot of flies to our table.

I’ve no idea why it took me so long to visit Silver Spoon Trattoria. Probably its because there were far too many food bloggers who had blogged for Silver Spoon. As most of them were being invited for reviews, this had made me skeptical whether or not to trust their reviews as being honestly written or not. To prevent myself from jumping to conclusion, I decided to try their set lunch first.

Each set comes with a starter, a main meal and dessert. Drinks were not included in the set meals. For starters we ordered the Stuffed Mushrooms and the Crumbed Calamari. Look at these entrees, ain’t it beautiful? I’ve got to give the credit to the chef who made the entrees. They look stunning. Taste wise however was okay -nothing surprising.

The same goes with the Crumbed Calamari. Some other entrees that you may order are their Tomato Bruschetta and the soup of the day.

As for the main meal, I ordered the Fish (Dory Fillet) and Chips. The fish was fresh and it tastes really good. Enough seasoning and it was not oily at all. The only problem with this meal were the fries. I don’t normally waste my food, but the fries was so bad that I ended up throwing a quarter of it away.

The Hawaiian Pizza that VK ordered fare much better than my fish and chips. This 6-inch pizza is not only thin and crispy, but it was prepared with reasonable amount of toppings.

For dessert, I ordered their Banana Crepes. The crepes goes really well with the ice-cream as the crepes was a little bit bitter. I guest they added a little bit of alcohol in it, hence the bitter taste.
