Satay Satay Restaurant @ One Utama

Hmm . . Craving for Satay while you are shopping? 

The name of the restaurant says it all . . definately a MUST-TRY !

The Classic Chicken Satay

Rating: Taste ♥♥♥♥ Value for money ♥♥ Overall ♥♥♥

rm 12.90 (10 sticks)

Well seasoned and grilled to perfection. Yumm-O !
The chicken skewers has the perfect formula: the right amount of fats and meat (85% meat/15% fats) + the right level of marination + the degree of tenderness of the meat measured by the moist and juiciness of the meat.

However, it is indeed pricey for a satay meal which usually only costs about rm 0.60 per stick, but no complaint since they are bringing this meal to your convenience right? ;)

Nasi Borjari

Rating: Taste ♥♥♥ Value for money ♥♥♥ Overall ♥♥♥

rm 15.90

I believe Nasi Borjari was originated from Indonesia judging the way the food was presented, rice served in the middle with variety of side dishes surrounding (Deep fried marinated chicken, Egg, Acar, Cucumber slices, Sambal Chilli and Peanuts).

First of all, BIG thumbs up to its portion, it's King Size. And check out its large serving of peanuts !!! I nearly scream out loud ! The combination of Sambal Chilli with Peanuts is just epic ! That's is why I heart Nasi Lemak. Also, the deep fried marinated chicken is delicious! This Nasi Borjari is different compared to the classic Nasi Lemak as it is served with fragrant colored rice: yellow, orange with some pinch of red and green. It is like what we Malaysian call Nasi Briyani :) Btw, I'm still crazy over the peanuts !!

They also have a daily selection of lunch set meal only at rm 9.90.
Served with Iced Lemon Tea/Black Jelly/Chinese Tea.

Monday
Sweet and Sour Chicken + Foo Yong Egg

Tuesday
Ayam Masak Merah + Bayam with Ikan Bilis

Wednesday

Kong Po Chicken + Braised Toufu

Thursday

Golden Deep Fried Chicken + Stir Fried Chinese Cabbage 

Friday

Ayam Masak Chilli Padi + Kangkung Sambal Belacan

Thursday Set Meal
Golden Deep Fried Chicken + Stir Fried Chinese Cabbage 

Rating: Taste ♥♥ Value for money ♥♥ Overall ♥♥

rm 9.90

Err . . I'm alil disappointed with this, not sure if it's the presentation or the portion of the food :( Pretty standard taste, but certainly not a value meal.

Oh well, my recommendations is to try out their other selections of Ala-carte and of course their Satay :)

Love the strong fragrant from the toasted muesli (the mixture of oats & variety of nuts like almond, aromatic seeds like sesame seeds and sunflower seeds with a pinch of cinnamon powder), with the additional of natural sweetness from those fresh bananas, what an interesting combination! When you have all these ingredients all blended with ice into a smoothing and refreshing smoothie . . it screams PERFECT !

Xiao Bar Wang 小霸王 @ One Utama

Looking for what to snack while shopping at 1 Utama? Well, do drop by at Xiao Bar Wang 小霸王 located at  food street section (LG, Old Wing). Similar concept to Shilin, Xiao Bar Wang 小霸王 is another place for authentic Taiwanese snacks. 

Xiao Bar Wang 小霸王 started operations in 2009 in Singapore. They have 4 branches in Singapore, and their very first branch in Malaysia !

It is pretty interesting how they got their name: Bar (霸). It is actually a combination of 3 essential elements: 雨, 革 and 月merged together, a dominant force is formed, 霸 that will make any business unstoppable ! I bet they have gone through some fengshui master for this !

Interior...simple yet creative. A very cosy design ♥

All I can say is...either you love this drink or you hate this drink. It has a very exotic after taste, bringing some sourness yet refreshing sensation. Well, it's nutritious drink after all as it is believed to reduce cholesterol and water retention !
