Dapur Kita @ Bentong

Went to Dapur Kita, a mamak in Bentong. Variety of food there, so quite suitable for teenagers to gather with friends to chit-chat all night. Food including mee, fried rice, satay, roti canai, ikan bakar, kerang bakar, tauhu, western food, waffer, corns malay style kuey teow, Malay laksa, burger etc... A large screen there for u to watch football with friends~
I am quite full after dinner. So just ordered satay, tauhu. My companion ordered mee goreng and carrot milk in large size.
Fried Tauhu. RM2.50-RM3.00. The tauhu filled with vegetables and peanuts. a good snack.
Beef satay. nothing to shout about. The sauce is not think enough. RM0.50 each.
This is so so only...forgot the price for this.
Large milk carrot. colour looks like teh ais? O_o ''

Starbucks Coffee @ Berjaya Times Square

Taadang~~everybody also knows what is Starbucks of course...selling branded and expensive coffee, variety of choices of drinks for u to relax ur busy life, with the companion of Jazz music, definitely a relaxing place~Cakes and breads anyone?
After I finished half of my drinks ,I only remember about taking photos of my Chocolate drink and also Greentea frappuccino. I remember my fren added cream in her greentea in Genting Starbucks last time so I ordered frappuccino with cream also but the worker in BTS Starbucks said cream only for chocolate? Is that real?

Crystal Court Restaurant @ Bentong

Went to Crystal Palace for dinner. Crystal Palace is considered to have the nicest ambience in Bentong Restaurant. Haha, dun forget Bentong is only a small town. Have a look?
Ambience consider not bad in a small town rite? Next, food~~
Firstly, the pork ribs cooked with taro. A good combination that the ribs cooked with taro, taste not bad, the only thing is taro not soft and ribs not tender enough. I like those taro because it took up the sauce of the dish.
A dish for vegetarians. The taste is okay for me.
Chicken cooked with special sauce (mak zap gai in cantonese). This is nice!! crispy and juicy.
Tilapia fish with garlic sauce. I like this very much~~run well with rice. Thumb up for this! slurps~
Vegetables. This dish a bit tasteless for me.
Lastly, fruits as dessert. Watermelon, mango and jelly.
The meal cost for RM142.50.The Crystal Palace restaurant is just beside the Crystal Hotel.

Rakuzen Japanese Restaurant @ Chulan Square

Rm55+ per pax. Green tea. Cold or hot?The menu. Choose what you wan and order.Then the food will be served
Different type of Maki. Those big size Maki make you so full. Avoid that so that you will have the stomach space to fill other food.
Sushi~~ those sashimi sushi very fresh~~ I like the food quality of Rakuzen. Although the choices in Tao more than Rakuzen, but I think the taste here is better and more fresh.
