30072016 M136 Coffee House, Taman Maluri

Returning to action with fellow FoodInkers, and this time we've got something special besides the food!

Warmly invited by M136 Coffee House, to have a try at some of their existing and new menus. It's nice and cozy place to be at (personally, I don't mind spending my whole day there). I had some time to explore the place while waiting for the others to arrive.

As much as I want to show you how the whole place look like, my phone does not actually perform well in low-light. And I don't want to spoil it entirely for you! You should come check it out!

Note: Pay attention to the bottom two pictures in the image above ↑

It was terrible jam on the day itself, most probably due to the constructions in the surrounding area. It took me an hour or more to reach this place, where I could have easily arrived within 20 minutes at normal times. One thing to note is that the parking here is scarce! If it wasn't for Stella, I wouldn't have gotten myself such a good spot. Honestly, felt like a VIP then *thumbs up for Stella!*

We were treated to starters, mains and desserts! M136 Coffee House was so generous! *so touched*

Creamy Smokey Salmon Pasta (top right)

RM16.90

Spaghetti Pastora (bottom right)

RM19.90

I enjoyed the salmon pasta. While the creamy sauce wasn't thick as I hoped it would be, the salmon flavor was good enough to forget about it. I would say it looks as good as it taste =)

As for the pastora, although I didn't taste the identity of the pasta, it surely is a very filling one! I would surely like to exchange the thickness of the sauce here with the salmon pasta! That being said, I believe they are still improving and will only get better! So do give this a try!

M136 Big Breakfast

RM16.90

Honestly, this looks way better than the picture in the menu! Hahaha, and it taste great! The portioning is just nice for 1 hungry person in the morning, or for a couple who'd like share brunch while trying out another item! Brilliant!

Butter Chicken

RM16.90

Mmm, I love the combination of the butter chicken and the wedges! The added spice into the sauce isn't spicy, but yet it's so delicious that I wish there was more that I could dip the wedges into the sauce! The addition of the salad ensures you have at least some vegetables to go along with this meal!

Ice Cola Coffee

RM7.90 (price might have changed)

Recommended by Stella for a refreshing taste of Coffee-flavored Rootbeer! Weird? Not at all, I actually find it very nice! It's coffee + coke! The combination is a whole new world! Check out the video below!

ice cola coffee. Yums!! seriously sinfully refreshing ! 😉

Mozarella Pork Chop

RM23.90

Seriously, it's one grand meal! Imagine a thick pork chop, now stuff it with mozarella, and voila! It's simple, it's amazing! Now, why am I not finding this a common menu in other restaurants??!! This is definitely a calling for subsequent visits!

Gourmet Salmon

RM23.90

Just when I thought things couldn't get any better! A big piece/chunk of salmon just landed on the table (well, chair if you're referring to the pictures)! Looks simple, but taste brilliant! Especially for the price! It's very tough to not order this again next time, after tasting this!

Smoothies (mix of dragon fruit and banana)

RM12.90

Recommended by the house. Didn't know these two go so well, creating a rich creamy texture of dragon fruit with slight taste of banana. Thankfully the taste of banana was just nice, without overwhelming the dragon fruit.

Durian Cheese Cake

RM12

Durian Brulee

RM12

Freshly made with supply of musang king from local durian plantation, these two desserts are to die for (especially if you're a durian lover). Hands down to the king of all cheese cakes and brulee! =D The sweet scent of the musang king can be smelled all over the room, as soon as its refrigerator doors are slide open! One bite into either one of them, makes you go "Ooo, ahhhh, wahhh~~~" So sinful yet so good! It's been nearly a week, and I still can't get over their taste!

Berry-Berry with Ice Cream

RM12.90

Caution: Do not order this after Durian Cheese Cake / Brulee.

Thankfully, I had calmed my excited taste buds to carefully enjoy this dessert! Love the waffles, and I wished I had eaten them sooner, before they were cold. It looks like a puzzle piece, and I love taking a berry, a slice of strawberry, and a small portion waffle with some ice cream on it, into a mouthful bite! Yums!


This place is the place to go to for a hearty meal, amazingly appetizing and delectable dishes for a reasonable price without breaking your wallet! The staff/crew are very accommodating and friendly. The place is very cozy - it's especially nice to dine at when the outdoor's weather too much for you. Only downside that I can find about this place is the location and parking availability - for now, it's in the middle of a medium-heavy traffic area (due to construction) and it's not easy to find an parking spot (unless you don't mind walking quite a distance). This is definitely a must-try place if you haven't already tried it!

23072016 U Pizzeria, USJ 21

Today, I and along with several FoodInkers were invited for a pizza review, at U Pizzeria! You might have heard of the place if you're in or from USJ area. They're even enlisted on FoodPanda!

So, before going to the good stuffs, we've learned a thing or two about U Pizzeria. They've taken the extra mile on top of researching and experimenting with recipes from US and Italy, to fusing our local taste into them pizzas! Forget the conventional Aloha Pizza (which they do serve), say hello to Musang King infused pizza! The guys in the kitchen of U Pizzeria ensure that their ingredients are only of the freshest and highest quality! Best part? It's not that all expensive, and in fact it's rather reasonable if you ask me.

So, let's get on with the food, shall we?!

BBQ Chicken Wings (4pcs)

RM13.00

Honey flavored is optional, at the same price. These wings are great to kick start your appetite!

I wasn't that all hungry, until I had one of them wings.

Wish there were honey flavored wings for trying, but that's asking too much =P

Garlic Bread Stick

RM6.00

These are much than Pizza Hut's but they could still be better if they are stronger garlic taste.

I prefer them with an overdose of garlic flavoring, but that's just me.

U Seafood Bonanza

RM16.00 (Personal), RM35.00 (Regular), RM47.00 (Large)

This is what I would call a seafood-happy pizza! Look at them ingredients! So yummilicious!

Would have been better if the fresh salmon had a stronger tang to it, then I would not have second thoughts on getting second rounds for this!

U Durian Delight
RM16.00 (Personal), RM35.00 (Regular), RM47.00 (Large)

Now this is the almighty pizza that captured my attention from the very first sounds of hearing "Musang King infused durian"!! On top of that, it's with CHEESE!! Lots of CHEESE!! To let you have a visual perception of what I'm talking about, behold ...

Look at the cheeeeeeeeeeeeese ~~~!

Sambal Api

RM11.90 (Personal), RM26.90 (Regular), RM35.90 (Large)

Take sambal and put it onto a pizza, and you get ... a VERY SPICY Pizza! Very suitable especially to those with a knack for spicy food. I was sweating badly with only one slice, but another FoodInker was adding tabasco to it! I look at it and say "CHALLENGE .... nah, another time." Don't judge me!

U Mexicana

RM16.00 (Personal), RM35.00 (Regular), RM47.00 (Large)

I didn't try this, so not much of a comment for this pizza. It's only because they have jalapeno in it! I was like "ARE YOU MAD?!" but then again the other FoodInker was drowning his slices with tabasco, so I kept quiet like a little good boy.

Meat Delight

RM11.90 (Personal), RM26.90 (Regular), RM35.90 (Large)

Beefycheesilicious! If you like lots of cheese with your beef, then this is it! Unless you have a super big appetite, I believe for a single pax, a personal serving is more than enough to tame your hunger!

Alright, so that's all! We didn't manage to try every single menu in U Pizzeria, but we've gotten a taste at some of their best sellers, and I must say, it's surely a must to give their pizzas a try! And I'm not saying this because the guys at U Pizzeria were nice to us. Don't buy my word for it, give them a shot!

A big thanks to FoodInk to the session. Here's a group picture of us!

Due to short term memories, I've already forgotten most of everyone's name in the picture.

But you'll be seeing them around on the Internet, so no worries =)

Before I let you all go, here's some close up of the pizzas again!

Dinner at Uncle Don's, SS2

Usually, when I go to SS2, it's either for Japanese, Korean or Thai food. Rarely would I think about having western food in this area - it's either too pricey, or not convenient.

However, a friend of mine mentioned about Uncle Don's having affordable western food. I was skeptical. I thought either it's a dessert parlor or it must be shop a economy mixed rice. When my friend brought us there, it turns out that Uncle Don's is neither, and definitely NOT a economy mixed rice shop. It's nearby one though.

Image taken from tripadvisor.com

When passing by Uncle Don's, some people like me, would think that this is a bar. That assumption would also be correct, because they do serve alcoholic beverages here. So what was surprising was not only that I had passed by this restaurant countless times, but also its menu! (You may start guessing the price tags on the menu)

Peachlifter smoothies (RM7.80), Grilled Chicken Chop (RM10.80) and Butter Rice Pork Chop (RM10.80). what a brilliant yet affordable #dinner at #uncledons! Am slowly getting back to normal food.. #ss2 #pj #westernfood

Most of the items in the menu are indeed affordable, and this place is a MUST-try for its ambience, food quality and especially if you're a fan of alcoholic drinks.

Oh ya, the place has a no-smoking policy between certain hours (I think it's from 10am to 9.30pm?). So if you're seated indoors, you won't have to worry about smoking drinkers disrupting you from having a good meal (unless you love the smell of cigarettes).

Uncle Don's tagline:

With a rustic-chic, chilled-out design, this diner, bar & grill is designed to cater 5-star quality food & beverage at insanely cheap pricing!

I'd definitely recommend coming to this place (more than once) to try out their menu!

Happy Valentine's Day My Love!

Isn't the first one I spend without my girlfriend by my side (well, there's always that one "girl" that I always spend it with, and that is my mum =P ), but this year didn't feel that way. Though she's hundreds of kilometres across the sea, it felt as if she was just around the corner. I guess it helps on the constant texting and the feeling I have for her =)

I looked back at the pictures we took over the past few months, and I had the same thoughts as I did much earlier in our relationship - It felt as if we've known each other for a long while. While I won't dare to say that I'm all perfect, but what I'm very sure of, is that I've gotten better since I knew her.

Our Times - Possibly The Best Couple Movie of All Time

I'm not quite the type to watch a movie of which its language I'm not familiar with, but after hearing a few of my friends opinion about it. I decided to watch it and figured that she might like it too. So, I told her to make time, because we're gonna watch after work.

Taken from onehallyu.com

Watching the movie at first, I was being skeptical with thoughts of how could such a movie be that good. The introduction was alright, but the turning point for it is when they went back into time. The longer I watch, the more I like it and I paid much more attention to the characters portraying the emotions. They were very genuine.

Without realizing much, I was turning more emotional and nostalgic. I could relate to almost every part of the movie, especially on the part where it showed about high school activities. Even included the puppy love, which I'm sure almost everyone I know would have had some experienced in it (otherwise, they pretty much didn't have a life back then =P ).

Towards the end, I had mixed feelings of joy, sorrow and touched feelings. After a while, I was overwhelmed and I couldn't hold back my manly tears, and let it go... I was also surprised by the special casting by some really unexpected actors! All I can say is bravo to the director and producer of this movie! The cast were also amazing!

This movie, Our Times, is a definitely must-watch movie!
