Farewell Lunch at Delicious

We arranged to have a farewell lunch for a colleague once we found out that her last working day was on Friday, September 20, 2013. 

Four of us went to Delicious on Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Delicious is located at G7 & G8 Tower A, St Mary Place, No.1 Jalan Tengah, 50250 Kuala Lumpur.  Its business hours are from 7 am to 11 pm daily.

The lady of the hour had caesar salad with anchovies, turkey bacon, poached egg, parmesan and chargrilled chicken

and latte

Two of us had smoked salmon open sandwich with sour cream and capers on toasted multigrain served with a side of chopped salad and potato wedges

while the other had carbonara spaghettini with oyster mushrooms, beef bacon, oregano and cream

Our lunch set comes with spiced apple tea

and a piece of cake.

Two of us chose chocolate cake

and the other chose carrot cake.

Till next week, wishing them both all the best as they embark on a new phase of their lives...

Celebrating birthday at Nando's

I did say that we would be celebrating more August babies :D  

On Wednesday, August 28, 2013, three of us treated a friend for dinner at Nando's, the birthday girl's choice. It was her actual birthday.  No taking the day off for this girl ;p

We went to the nearest one to our office ~ Lot 1.29.04, Pavilion KL. Its business hours are from 10am to 10pm daily.

The first Nando's restaurant was opened by two friends, Robert Brozin and Fernando Duarte.  In Malaysia, the first Nando's restaurant was opened in Bangsar in June 1998. Nando's Malaysia Director, Mac Chung Lynn first discovered Nando's when she was a student in London. 

At Nando's, chickens are marinated in Nando's traditional Peri-peri flavours - mild, hot or extra hot Peri-peri and flame-grilled.

Sharing is what Nando's is all about

so we shared the Meal Platter ~ whole chicken +

 regular sides (our choice: chips, corn-on-the-cob, coleslaw and potato wedges)

+ 2 bottomless soft drinks (our choice: Sprite and Coca-cola) ~

and Espertada

~ tender marinated chicken thighs and fresh peppers served on a skewer with 2 regular sides (our choice: corn-on-the-cob and potato wedges)

The evening went well ~ good food, good service and good company.

Till next week, not yet... another entry coming up next hehe

Breakfast at In House Cafe

In House Cafe is located at 183G, Jalan Lancang, Taman Sri Bahtera, 56100 Kuala Lumpur. Currently there are eight outlets in Klang Valley.

In House Cafe was founded in 2010 by its Managing Director, Calvin Liew. I went there for the first time on Saturday, August 24, 2013. 

Its business operation - 24 hours! How about that?! We can just come anytime... and we choose to come for breakfast.

There are approximately over one hundred types of food and beverage in the menu including dim sum, western food, local food, flower tea, fresh fruit juices and pearl milk tea.

We can't order the breakfast set which is only available on weekdays except public holidays so we ordered

 and my drink...

Can't help but took another photo of their car parked right in front of the cafe.

Till next week, lots of luck for the lucky draw at the annual dinner this coming Saturday :)

Celebrating birthdays at Fish & Co

Fish & Co was established in Singapore in 1998. Fish & Co serves all food in a unique Mediterranean style - in a pan! It specialises in fresh fish and seafood like prawns, mussels and calamari.

There are three outlets in Klang Valley.  The nearest one to our office is located at Lot No. C4.02.00, Level 4, Pavilion KL.  Its business hours are from 11.30 am to 10.00 pm on Monday to Thursday and from 11.30 am to 11.00 pm on Friday to Sunday.

My colleague and I treated our ex-colleague for her birthday at Fish & Co on Wednesday, August 14, 2013, three days in advance of her actual birthday.

Our starter

~ a platter of fried calamari, fish nuggets, prawn fritters and french fries served with spicy mango vinaigrette, tar tar sauce and tomato salsa ~

Two Fish & Chips Combos

Italian Fish & Chips

~ Fish & Chips stuffed full of mozzarella and chilli flakes and topped with wholesome tomato sauce ~

New York Fish & Chips

~ all-time favourite Fish & Chips stuffed with parmesan cheese and topped with lemon butter sauce ~

Each combo comes with soup of the day and their signature drink 

~ Passion Fruit ~

The birthday girl chose to have mojito 

~ fresh mint leaves and lime juice ~

It was a filing meal. Like what they always say in Fish & Co. "one bite & you're hooked!" I'll definitely be back!

I was back alright in 2 weeks' time. On Tuesday, August 27, 2013, nine of us from my department bought lunch for another three colleagues. The first one was born on August 25, the second one on August 26 and the third one on September 3. This restaurant was the second one's choice.

This time I ordered Swiss Fish & Chips combo

~ Fish & Chips filled with tasty Swiss cheese topped with garlic lemon butter sauce ~ and I had mashed potatoes instead of French fries.

The service was so bad with the delay in delivering our orders, even delivered me the wrong one with no apology. One of my colleague's order was only delivered after over an hour that we have to take away instead of having it there.

The meals were good but they've gotta improve on the service :(

Till next week, taking in the history of Kingdom of Cambodia ^^
