Carne Y Vino, KL
Lucky me, got this chance to get to dine-in in Carne Y Vino, KL! A branch of Pampas, located at Radius International Hotel, Changkat Bukit Bintang, launched lately for around 3 months plus, great environment, fantastic food, and of course the bottomless liquor that can't be missed! Get your taste bud and appetite ready, the following would be tempeting!

| A List of Wine - Pick One or Two! |
 |
| Red Silk 2008 by Oliverhill Winery |
Not really a wine lover, but the Manager there can definitely gives you a guide on which to pair with along with your main course.
It was actually a food testing on behalf of One who's going to organize a company party, well get to follow and test along, why not! A total of 3 of us, 3 - soup tester, 3 - main course, 2 - desserts, 1 - house wine!
 |
| House Wine - Chilean |
 |
| Cream of Celery Soup |
 |
| Soup of the Day - Free Tester ☆☆☆ |
Great in taste, but not that creamy, slightly diluted, would taste better if it's creamier!
 |
| Crispy Duck Breast ☆☆☆☆ |
Mmm-mmmm! Fettuccine linguine with crispy diced duck breast, cooked with rich and creamy white sauce and pasley, topped with thin sliced cheese.
Closer view, few thin pieces of cheese, one diced of crispy breast meat, along with creamy fettuccine, Yum-Yum-Yum!
 |
| Sausage Platter & Mash ☆☆☆☆ |
Well, quite a simple dish, as the frankfurter is just a normal piece of chicken sausage - but really Great in Taste! And the potato mash at the bottom is real smooth and has that great butter aroma!
 |
| Plate Dry Aged Beef Patagonia Argentina Grass Fed Grill Beef Tenderloin ☆☆☆☆☆ |
This ONE - Brilliant! With all those fancy names and description, I strongly believe only the taste and smell that count! We ordered medium well, the Chef did it 100% the way we want it. Besides, the beef's tenderness is totally undeniable!
 |
| Blue Cheese Sauce |
Oh, the Blue Cheese Sauce, the very own recipe of Carne Y Vino! Strongly recommended by the Manager, a must try! This 5-star sauce is the BEST! I'm a cheese lover, very obsessed over cheesy stuff, if it's not because of this food testing session, I'm so going to miss this precious!
 |
| Crepe Suzette ☆☆☆☆ |
Dessert! As per the menu, it says 'A crepe with eurre Suzette, a sauce of caramelized sugar and butter, orange juice, zest and Gran Marrier Liqueur on top, served with vanilla ice cream.' A refreshing piece, sweet and sour at the same time, some creamy ice cream melting all the way you sip the dressing, yummy Y.U.M!
 |
| Creme Brulee ☆☆☆☆ |
Aiyo-yo-yo... My attention was 3 seconds off the table and ended up leaving this only! Not really a complete picture but enough said. Creme Brulee, one just so normal that it's almost everywhere now in most of the restaurant. But the Manager said they did it the different way for the sugar dressing on top, it's like a different crunchy piece topped on it - Delicious!
Okay, that's all for now! I was told by the Manager that she's organizing a food testing session for food blogger, but am I qualified for one? I hope this post might help! Oh yes, you might need more information from their facebook page!

Yokoso Ichiban, SS2 Mall
Yeap yeap yeap, another deal online, this one is from Dealmates - Yokoso Ichiban. Well, we thought we had a great deal, one set of it, and then maybe top up with something else, you know, depend on the price. Turn out, we were wrong ;p
First glance, the price list of the menu hits us real hard. Even the normal Nigiri sushi costs us around RM 6++ at least! Fried rice for RM 10++. So, we presented the voucher and the waitress was in doubt, because we had no extra order besides the one we bought, and oh, we ordered ocha for RM 2.00 (even my favourite Zanmai only charging me RM1.00!)
Oh my gosh, I thought we really had a great deal and ended up we got this?! No joke, despite the discounted price, this few pieces cost me and you RM40, and it's located at SS2 Mall. Oh well, there was crowd but all of them using the vouchers, so... Your say!

| ONE pair of Chopsticks & Menu |
 |
| Soy Sauce, Salt, and Pepper |
 |
| Discounted Price: RM 16.00 Normal Price: RM 40.00 |
So, basically each of these costs you around RM10. No doubt, they are fresh, nice and tasty. Unfortunately, I'm a budget consumer. In that case, unless they're having another promotion, don't think I'll step feet in again to this pricey shop ;(

Film Review: Changeling
A true story back then at 1928, a single mother and her only son, child kidnapper and murderer, and a bunch of hypocrite policemen.
Was eyeing on this movie for quite some time till my boy got it for me from the net, eye-catching and stunning shock true story, that is still happening among us within every society. Just that people learn from mistakes, not to correct the morality of human kind, but to learn how to hide and cover their asses in a better way.
Son gone missing, was then replaced and persuaded by policemen that another kid is her son, main purpose is to shut her and the media up, turn out which the mother refused to. The moment she goes for the press conference, the 'back door' tactic is used on her to lock her up to mental institution saying that she can't even recognise her son.
Isn't this happening even now at 2011? After decades and decades of time and days, human kind has developed drastically to the extent that, better to cover the ass up than helping or standing firm on the truth. No? For instance, the previous Bersih 2.0 rally, media and newspaper twist and turn the story of it and a friend of mine from Johor was actually blaming the opposition for being bizzare. For instance, the movie 'The Cove' as revealed the dolphin killing season held every year in Japan and that Government is still trying to cover their fault till date.
Like Changeling, they can persuade the mother to accept another kid as her son, so can the Government makes us citizen believe that it's all the opposition's fault instead of the police force. So, we're now reverted back to 1920s. So can the Government provides you whale meat but it's high-in-mercury dolphin meat, even endanger your health. No?
A movie about human rights, about truth being twisted and lies being promoted to the face of everyone, about human's cruelty, about us killing us. I watched it with heart, filling every bits of the mother's weakness and strength.

☆☆☆☆Mill Wheel Ice Cafe, Sunway
Baby bought us a discount coupon for snow ice in Mill Wheel, abandoned for quite some time, finally decide to drop by on the dateline to give it a try, to be honest, it was quite a disaster.
It was a rainy day, found a parking but the road condition is really bad, puddle everywhere! Went in, being ignored. Reason being is that there's a lot of people, and we were not even been served with a menu - Sucks!
Took ourselves one, waved on the waitress and being ignored again. Keep waving and finally got approached, ordered the snow ice we purchased via discount voucher. Our order is the third one, but being served the last one, ONLY after baby approached and scolded them twice, then they served us - WTF?! Worse still, their snow ice, is the main disaster of all.

| Strawberry & Chocolate |
Looking good? Special credit to my baby, this really did impressed us at first glance. With all the KokoCrunch, chocolate bites, choco rice, waffles, and strawberry syrups, despite the lousy services back there, we thought this should be nice. Turn out, duh! Besides the chocolate bites are crunchy, the rest are soften already, and the KokoCrunch with not coco taste at all - Sickening!
 |
| Mango & Watermelon |
This taste slightly better, as they are not creamy based. But tasteless corn flakes and nestum cereal? It's already not much in taste and topped up with those, not wise!
 |
| Strawberry |
This is the snow ice! I don't know how the 100yen did it, or some other snow ice shops made it, but this is totally Slurpee wanna be, worse still, it's just frozen powder, when it melts, we can see it so clear that the 2 elements are separated - Yucks!
 |
| Chocolate |
Don't trust my comment or review? Trust your eyes. Perhaps, trust your tongue and give it a try, prove me wrong! See that bits and powders on the spoon? I'm like licking tasteless-cold-milo!
Water flows bottom down, chocolate powder sticking on the side of the wok. This ain't snow ice, this is powder with ice.
