Just a short promo..

I know there isn't that much time left for this, but if you would like to go for a Christmas buffet over the weekend this December, then perhaps you can check out the All You Can Eat Christmas Brunch at Bella Italia!

My apologies for not regularly updating this blog. I've been so busy with my other freelance work that I hadn't had the time to do a proper review of the places we've dined at.

But as a sneak peak of a much awaited post:

Spices, a new Indian Restaurant located at Alamesra! Coming up real soon, I promise! :)

If you are a fan of Mango Lassi, then you should definitely give this Mango Lassi [price : RM12 nett] at The Roof Restaurant a try! It IS after all their Mocktail of the Month (as mentioned on the ad above), along with the Orange Lassi as well!

** Click HERE for more information on these drinks **

Mango Lassi has always been MY favourite drink, and it's not easy to find one that uses the actual fruit on their lassi, so I'm very pleased when I first heard about it. And after trying it myself recently, I was sold! On the spot! Haha..

No seriously, it's very delicious; the amount of yoghurt is just right, which adds a slight sour-ish taste to the drink, the fruit taste is sweet (but not too sweet), and the drink texture is very creamy.

And you can have that drink to go with any food, but it's most perfect for The Roof's April Dish of the Month, the Nasi Briyani [price: RM25 nett]!

Another promo guys..

This time, it's the Sunset Hour at The Roof Restaurant, Imperial International Hotel. By the way, that photo and artwork is done by me! You guys like?

Gallivanter recommended both PapaJ and my name to the Sushi King rep on the Grand Opening here in KK. (Thanks Dan!) I’ve had bad experiences at Sushi King joints twice before this, so hopefully this 3rd time will be a charm, huh?

JulianSabah invited me to join some bloggers and media people for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf December drinks (and some food) tasting at Waterfront earlier in December. Turns out it was Shan who was in charge of this gathering! Thanks Shan!

The December drinks (2 new drinks and 2 seasonal drinks):

Drinks from left:

• Marshmallow Double Hot Chocolate [RM13.50]
• Peppermint Ice Blended [RM13.50 reg]
• Peppermint Latte [RM12.50 reg]
• Double Chocolate Ice Blended [RM13.50 reg]
• Double Chocolate Latte [RM12.50 reg]

Mr.Voon also explained to us generally about these seasonal and promotional drinks. He personally predicted that the Marsmallow Double Hot Chocolate would be a keeper, and I sincerely hope that it would be too!

If you guys haven’t tried these drinks yet, I’d personally suggest that you guys try the Marshmallow Double Hot Chocolate; it’s so darn good! OMG! Perfect drink to have during the rainy weather, and it’s also a great drink to get yourself in the Christmas mood!

I forgot to try the peppermint drinks, though! Argh! So I’m sorry guys; can’t tell ya what it tastes like.. (any of you guys tried it before? Comments?) My other fellow blogger friends recommended that you guys should order the Peppermint Ice Blend the next time you’re there. So keep that (and the marshmallow drink!) in mind ya!

We also got to try out some of the food there, and this is the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich [price: RM13.50], using the (newly introduced to the menu as of December) Nordlander Bread!

What is Nordlander Bread, you ask? It's a classic Northern European bread made from a healthy recipe of natural grains, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds and spices. And you can choose different types of sandwiches. Check out the website for more details!

But my personal favourite food that night was none other than the Lasagna [price: RM16.90]! It looks simple, and yet.. very delicious!

If you haven't done so, I suggest that you guys check out these food and drinks! Also, check out JulianSabah and LifeInBorneo’s post about this too!

Yup. That's 50% discount on the ala carte dishes! So see y'all there this weekend!
