08052015 Set Lunch at Caffe Roma, QCM

Another new cafe has opened in QCM, and so it's only right for my colleagues and I to pay them a visit! They serve Italian food apparently. So, we decided to see what they have to offer us.

This is what I ordered:

Mushroom Potato with Ice Lemon Tea and Pineapple Meringue Tart.

RM16.90

Iced Lemon Tea (non-refillable)

Mushroom Potato

Honestly, I think it would have been tasted better if the sauce wasn't so diluted

Pineapple Meringue Tart

This needed to be eaten fresh-right-out-of-the-oven,

else it'd be hard and the taste would have faded off

Taste wise - They're pretty decent, there's still room for improvement. My colleagues commented the same for their orders as well.

Environment wise - It's nice and cozy. Nice wallpapers of Rome, making you feel slightly as if you're there. The interior of the place is well design, and they are able to fit groups of 8 pax with some table arrangement.

Service wise - It took them quite a while to serve us our food. And my colleagues waited even longer to have their desserts served. Perhaps they're still new and not used to the crowd size and demand during lunch hour. We'll see again during the next visit.

Price wise - It's the average cafe price. Isn't your budget set lunch type, but it's good for anyone who'd like to try out something different, something Italian.

07052015 May's Set Lunch at Plaza Hotel, KL

It's the month of May, so let's see what's the set lunch menu for Plaza Hotel. 

Roasted Lemon Grass Chicken

RM14 nett, comes with a free drink (but don't drink it, they taste horrible)

Somehow this month's item is sort of lacking in taste.

It's quite confusing when food arrives looking different than its stated name.

The combination takes a while to get used to it, but it's edible.

Nevertheless the portion is quite big, as always.

I managed to finished the whole plate =)

06032015 Set Lunch at Longhorn Steak House, QCM

Finally, we got ourselves a chance to try out the Longhorn Steak House at Quill City Mall (QCM)! It's been months since the opening of QCM that we had waited for it. Also, we realized that this restaurant is related to Red Lobster, and both of them are under the Secret Recipe Cakes & Cafe.

Taste wise - my colleagues and I only ordered the set lunch, so based on that, I'd say it's pretty darn good. However, they didn't serve me as per my order, and I only realized that halfway through my meal. Though, the order wasn't right, but the quality of meat was suffice to ignore the error. The portion according to my colleagues are big as well - very filling.

Service wise - the waiter that served us was very nice and friendly, however he failed at giving us the correct information on what we ordered - we were asked about our preferences of cheese, only to find out that our set lunch burgers were denied of cheese, when we were served. From order-to-delivery, it's rather slow, probably due to peak hours but then again, shouldn't they have expected this?

Environment wise - it's quite cozy, I must say and they do have enough interior space to fit a crowd of 12 pax in a row. I think it's quite well lit without feeling too warm, from the lights.

Price - the set lunch is worth it for its taste and portion. Oh by the way, the set lunches comes with unlimited serving of Honey Wheat Buns, which I must say taste so good, that many of us had more than 1 bun! You can find more pictures at EatDrinkKL. However, if you're planning to have dinner there, you might want to think twice (or thrice) if you have a budget issue. It's twice or thrice-fold (or even more!) the set lunch's price.

18022015 Lunch at Gantetsu Tori, QCM

I passed by Gantetsu Tori almost every time when I'm at QCM., but didn't get a chance to try it out 'cause since it's quite small a space, it's easily filled with small numbers of visitors. Since today is CNY eve, there's not many at work today, thus there's lesser people which means good news for me! I went looking around the mall for some new taste - passed by Burger Kaw Kaw (can you believe it for a normal burger set, it can go up to RM20?? @.@), Purple Toast (my team and I tried it once last year and that was the last of it, in our lifetime. Nuff said), and eventually going back to Gantetsu Tori for a meal.

Taste wise - I personally think it's quite salty for the fried Karaage and the miso soup. The rice is like those of sushi-rice grade, but other than that there's nothing much to add up about it, 'cause the portioning was rather small.

Environment wise - as mentioned it's quite small a place though. One look at the shop, and you can see all of its interior. At the time that I dined, there was only me and my colleagues, so it's comfortable enough for us. But if there were more people, it'd be feeling rather cramp, 'cause it's a few inches away from the next tables.

Price wise - if you're on a budget and you want Japanese food, this will not do for you. I think the price is alright, but was it worth it for the taste? Not for me. I'd rather for go to Sushi King or settle for 2 McDonald's lunch set.

Fried Karaage with Rice

RM15.90 (excluding tax) comes with Miso soup;

RM1.00 for Green Tea add-on

14012015 January's Set Lunch at Plaza Hotel

One thing I like about the Plaza Hotel is that they have set lunches that changes each month. The serving's quite good in portion and reasonable in price. The waiters are friendly and honest too. Most importantly is that they have enough seats to host my whole team, that's about 14-15pax at most. 

Taste wise, it's pretty decent. I tried a couple of their previous set menus, and am quite satisfied with it. My taste buds didn't complain, so that's good with me. 

Service wise, it's pretty quick. You don't have to wait too long for simple dishes (but you might have to wait if there's a large crowd that day). I don't have to make special reservation, as the waiter can quickly think of how to fit 10-15 pax, on any given day, for lunch.

Price wise, it's affordable. One of the previous lunch set is RM10.90 and the portion is slightly more than an average person's appetite.

Here is the January's Lunch Set!
RM13.20 Breaded Tangy Chicken Leg (excluding tax)
with comes with a free drink;
add RM2.00 for Soup of the day
