Nyonya Colors in OneU
We always walk past this place in OneU,
Nyonya Colors, and its always crowded! Plus, the smell drifting from the stall
smells so yummy too! In the picture above.. its actually 4pm on a Tuesday afternoon, and we STILL had difficulty finding place to seat.
Gluttons food rating :
6.5/10Gluttons ambiance rating :
6/10Gluttons service rating :
6/10The place is not bad, considering that it is right smack in the middle of nowhere. (It's located in the old wing btw). Its not a proper shop, and the tables are placed outside the retail shop selling clothes, so the passer-bys can always see what you're eating. haha!
Service wise, it's just not bad. I mean, its standard service without greeting, just taking orders etc. Its a self service place, you have to line up, place your orders and pay. And then the food will be delivered to you.
They serve typical Asian food, like Nasi Lemak (Karen was very tempted to take that), Dry Curry Mee, Thai Curry Laksa, you get the picture? All those were priced at
RM7.90. There are other options as well like half boiled eggs, roti bakar, century egg porridge, and assortment of kuehs. We felt like the kuehs were not very worth it, because of the price for a small piece, like red bean kueh, a small piece for
RM0.80, which is the cheapest thing there. Drinks wise, typical teh, milo, coffee and more.
The
iced coffee that tasted like.. there wasn't much coffee in it. (thumbs down for this).
Karen's
dry curry mee. It's usually served with yellow noodles, but Karen made a request to change it to beehoon.
It was good nevertheless. Enough coconut milk and served with tender chicken meat and tofu with mint leaves.
My
Thai Curry Laksa (which was also labeled Yellow Curry Mee? - a bit of confusion there). It was quite spicy and tangy. Also not bad. Typing this is making me salivate :p heh, coz we loooove laksa, curry and tomyam.
It's not a bad place, tho its quite pricey for normal hawker food. But its still quite a nice place if you're craving for it while halfway shopping. :)

No.1 BEST tomyam in Town* Rak Thai Restoran
*according to the flyer.
Rak Thai has the BEST No. 1 Tom Yam in town(i'm guessing Petaling Jaya (PJ) or Klang Valley?)....
0_olets start...
Venue: Rak Thai Restoran, Amcorp Mall, PJ (Lower Ground)
Type of Food: Thai...With Burmese Waitresses. HAHA
Price: Ala Carte from RM10-RM25, Noodles and Rice Sets RM5-6, Drinks and Deserts below RM5.
Gluttons overall rating : 5/10 Gluttons food rating : 5/10 (NOT the best tomyam!)Gluttons ambiance rating : 6/10 (ok, they tried with the deco and music)Gluttons service rating :6/10 (ok, but not that good!)Ever since i had
that Mango Rice, which was
DIVINE (btw), I had t have some Thai Food...haha.
So i dragged my parents to eat at this place at Amcorp Mall (OK, i didn't know the existence of this shop, just walked by and thought it was interesting...)
We went in, greeted by "Sawadeekarp" by this (looks like) Thai waitress...She gave us our seats and our menu. We looked and looked, the food was quite expensive. HAHA. but the set meals were okay. like fried noodles and stuff.
So we ordered.
And, food came in like 10 minutes or so. Quite fast.
Mango Juice for RM3Thailand mar, so must drink mango juice
Fried Kailan for RM10.WAH so mahal!
but it was really nice. they cut the leaves into tiny bits and deep fried it...it was crunchy and salty(just the way i like it).
The No. 1 best tomyam in town!
I ordered Rice to go with it.
RM1 for the Rice. RM4 for the Tomyam soup.
It was OK. the portion was a bit small. Nothing much in the soup. Two prawns, a few sotongs and mushrooms.
Totally not worth it. hahahha.
AND NOT THE BEST IN TOWN, omg. I've tasted MUCH BETTER tom yums..
It wasn't even spicy.
urgh.
Rak Thai Exotic Cendol RM4.I've never liked cendol before, but people around me love cendol. and, even I don't see what is so exotic about it. Don't even have the nuts thingy that usually comes in Cendol.
Totally not worth it
Mango Sticky Rice Rm4.
The plate was SO SMALL.
The portions of pulut were SO LITTLE.
The mango was only HALF!
after i tried
this one, I will always compare all othe Mango Sticky Rice with
that one..
after being a glutton, we walked at the
Flea Market...
lovely junks that we just don't need, but want!:)
The end.

Shrek 3 Promotion at McD's
Shrek the Third is coming out! Wheeeeee! and everyone loves shrek for its sarcastic hilarity! hehe, we love shrek too! so how could we not fall prey to the money making opportunistic
McD's?
They are all out to have an all green promotion thingamajiggy, hence, they have lime mcflurry (green!), double lime sundae (green!), Green McFizz (also green!) and Seaweed shake shake fries (green too =.=).
They are offering this chicken/beef foldover set with Green McFizz and Shake shake fries for RM10.90 (add 5% tax pls).
We went to the McD's drive through in SS15, Subang Jaya on a weeknight around 10pm, and it was full house! We were lucky we got a seat. Full not coz of the set la... you'll find out why.
Gluttons food rating for the entire set : 5/10 
seen in the picture,
Chicken Foldover : tasted normal. nothing special here.
Green McFizz : we say, go back to orange McFizz! The green one is added with some green lime to color it, and crushed pineapples.... and it was tasteless =.= Just like drinking soda water.
Double Lime Sundae : you can already see the almost grossness in the picture. the green goo taste like time. overall, it tasted like the RM1 ice cream you can get, green lime with vanilla from anywhere called tropicana. haha, we prefer that.
for the
Shake Shake Fries..
We were supposed to pour the fries into the shake shake bag, and add in the seaweed flavorings. nothing special, not like the yummy shake shake fries they used to have long ago. its just bits of seaweed, and not so flavorful msg (you can taste a lot of msg in this!)
Seriously,... if you wanna have a foldover? just order the normal set next time and chocolate sundae for dessert :)

CHEATED!
by McDees management.
hahhahahaha.
Yes, Elaine and I did go for the FREE burger thing. It seems that you have to go there and wait for the men in pyjama to give out coupons. We went there and they were taking a break.
-_-"
taking a break? we were already Late for class!So we sat there and wait till they start to work again. We finally got our burgers and ate it happily! hahahah.
but seriously, they said in the ad, that they WERE giving out free coupons. but when we went there, we have to find the pyjama men.
I also read
other bad review about the Mcdonalds free giveaway thingy!
Dah la they naik harga in all their products, somemore say give free burger, then bluff the customers!
////EDIT. McDees has been getting bad reviews about their free promotion...
Boo Hoo to McDees.
Seems like you gotta buy breakfast at McDees FIRST, before getting your free Sausage Mc Muffin...
total ripoff!
pffftth!
*but we still love our McDees...*
lol.

The gluttons who fail at diet-ing...
hehe, we couldn't resist to camwhore while waiting for the food after an event we attended organized by french connection UK, just next door to delicious.
we heard from left, right and center, that everyone is raving about their fabulous chocolate brownie and decided to give it a try!
and no mistake, it was
fantabulous! the warm fudgy brownie went perfectly well with the vanilla ice cream and dark chocolate sauce. it wasn't too sweet, and when you put it into your mouth, you can smell chocolate haven just a few feet away!
another look at the gorgeous and delicious brownie! comes highly recommended from us and *special* gluttons dessert rating of 9.5/10!
*priced around RM10
we also ordered the warm chicken salad, served with lettuce, cherry tomato, avocado, and almond. the combination is just about right, and doesn't taste like a normal salad that turns you off :D
*priced around RM16
also ordered garlic mashed potato with rosemary and gravy. the only *rosemary* part was the sprig used to decorate the potato =.=
however, the gravy complimented the mashed potato very nicely! highly recommended for potato lovers, just like us!
*priced around rm9
in addition, the staffs there are friendly with good service. so if you have some money to space, do drop by and indulge in delicious :)

Thai Fair
Mango Rice at Hartamas Shopping Center's Thai Fair.
Venue: Hartamas Shopping Center (link) 60 Jalan Sri Hartamas 1, 50480 Kuala Lumpur
Tel: 03 6201 8353, Fax: 03 6201 3996
Type of food: Thai Food
Famous for its...er, mango rice (only cos its the only thing i ate).
Price: RM5-RM10
in a middle of a lazy sunday afternoon (after shopping at the
Shopaholics Unite Party).
Amelia and I went to Hartamas Shopping Center for a small little walk.
We were smelling something so yummy and hot.......we sniffed and sniffed and sniffed and....lo and behold, it was
TOM YAM (
ok, it wasn't that dramatic).
We saw this huge stall with loads of mangoes hanging around with
pulut rice, heaps and heaps of shredded papaya, chillies and onions. Mee Hoon galore with huge bowls of tomyam soups everywhere. (
this is not exaggerating at all)!
We saw the bundle of happiness (also fatness), the
pulut rice with thick succulent mangoes and creamy coconut sauce and straightaway decided to have Mango Rice. The Tom Yam and Green Curry noodles were calling also....but for vanity's sake, we shall just have one dish la, k? hehe.
Ordered the Mango Rice and coconut drink to pour the sweetness to our deserving tummy (what la, we wake up early to be the first people in Lunch Actually for the Party okay! luckily we went early).
When it came, whoa, straightaway digged in and makan makan makan. For RM5, they actually are very generous in thier portions of mango and pulut. They gave us the WHOLE mango (minus the seeds). Amelia and I were like happy little kids munching away.
yummylicious to the max!
I do not know when the fair's going to end, but, hey, go try it out...You can either sit there and have your food right away or take away. There are, however, limited seats, so just wait for a while la, i'm sure someone will be taking their last bite of pulut somewhere.
:D

Marmalade
Marmalade
Venue: Bangsar ViIIage II (link)1F-18, First Floor, Bangsar Village II,
No.1, Jalan Telawi Dua, Bangsar Baru,
59100 KL.
Tel: 03-2282 8301
Type of food: Western/ Deli-like food
Famous for its... Salads
Price: RM15++
Gluttons Overall Rating: 8/10
Gluttons Food Rating: 9/10
Gluttons Service Rating: 7/10Gluttons Ambiance Rating: 7/10 
Marmalade is located in a corner of Bangsar Village II. From the exterior, it looks super cute-sey with drawings and what nots. We walked passed the shop and checked out their cake fridge, and immediately, we were drawn to the shop.
We detoured a bit and went into Kitsch, the shop beside Marmalade Cafe that was also very much like Marmalade Cafe. Very cute with unique items for sale.
So, anyways, as we walked in on a Friday evening, we were greeted by the friendly waiter (points for that!) and as undecided as we were, we spent one minute choosing where to sit. HAHA. So we ended up sitting in the corner where we were comfortably taking photos of everything.
We were given a menu and we were spoilt for choice. They served Sandwiches, Salads, Poultry Main Dishes, Smoothies, Coffee and other Deserts that were too cute to be eaten. After looking at the menu fr quite a long time, we decided on our food and ordered. The friendly waiter told us not to order too much as the portions are very big and we should order again if we were still hungry. We followed his advice and ordered to share.
While waiting for our food, of course, we cam-whored! What's a dinner without a camera!:p
The ambiance of Marmalade is very cheerful and it was very brightly lit. With the huge glass windows that made sure natural sun light entered the shop, the shop was bright, really bright. The deli-like counters gives the shop an unique touch of home-liness. They also provide magazines for the customers to browse through.
After waiting, we finally got our Lemon Meringue Pie(RM9). The pie was actually VERY BIG. We have never tasted any lemon meringue pies before. This was our first time :) It tasted very lemon-ey and erm, pie-ey? hahahhaa. Very nice!:)
Next, our HUGE BOWL of salad came (on a diet marrrr). There was a cute name attached to it, but i totally forgot it. hahahhaa. This salad was DIVINE. It had just the right amount of everything and everything went so well.
Avocados, peppers, chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, alfafas, baby romanie, etc.
Lovely lovely bowl of salad. It was so big that both of us could not finish it at all!
Just to illustrate how big it is:
This is Karen!
and this is Elaine!:)
Our smoothies came too. I ordered Strawberry Smoothie(RM9) and Elaine ordered Peach Smothie(RM9)
Overall, it was a fun experience, I've (Karen) never tasted salad this good. If every shop sells salads like this, i don't mind eating salad everyday! (can loose weight somemore!)
Anyways, this is our official first post. More to come (Delicious, Kim Gary's...etc.)! If you like our reviews, please visit often kays?
heehee. we promise to make sure we makan at nice nice places to review!:)
