Restoran Rebung, Bangsar

This restaurant is a bungalow house situated at Lorong Maarof, Bangsar just 7 km from KL city and nearby LRT Bangsar station. If you happen to miss your grandmother's cooking do drop by to this place because they actually serve authentic 'tradisional masakan melayu kampung' (traditional malay foods). All recipes were originally from Chef Ismail Ahmad, the owner himself. He has a business partner which is Datuk Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar (first Malaysian that went to International Space Station).

The decor for open dining is more or less makes you feel at home. Sometimes you can hear the noise made by vehicles as it is very near to the road. Buffet style malay foods are nicely arranged at one corner. During lunch hour, the buffet will cost you RM35 per pax. There are few stalls in front of the buffet corner that serve ikan bakar (grilled fish), laksa, mee soto, cucur udang, pisang goreng and popiah basah.

However, desserts like sago gula melaka, cakes, jelly, kuih lopes with other malay traditional kueh are serve inside the air-conditioned dining room. During weekend the air-conditioned dining room is usually full so it's better to make your reservation earlier.

Here are some of the foods on my table. The air-conditined room is full so we had no choice but to dine outside. The Malay foods are tasty and delicious, reminds me of my mother and grandma's cooking.

Marche,The Curve- Mutiara Damansara

Marche is actually a fresh concept pioneered by Movenpick in Europe in 1983. It is a 'fresh market' with all the finest raw ingredients which they will prepare and cook at their many food stations. After picking your food you can choose different seating areas with unique names.

You will be given a passport at the entrance of the restaurant and remember not to lose it! Or else you will receive a RM200 penalty, which will then be donated to a charity of your choice. Haha… sounds interesting.
Everytime you want to order your food at any of the food station, they will ask for your passport and put a stamp on it. You will eat first and pay later, the total bill will be calculated based on stamps on your passport. Good thing is you only pay for what you wanna eat. You can check the prices at each food station.

The display of colourful fresh ingredients is really eye-catching. Most of the foods you order will be cooked right away in front of you. Price for each food is quite reasonable, but there will be additional cost to your menu if you choose for extra toppings and side dishes. For example, I ordered a plain Swiss Rosti (Rösti is a potato dish from Switzerland)and add extra cheese to it. The additional cheese cost me RM 4/=. So be careful when asking for that extras ;)

Secret Recipe

I believe this very successful homegrown lifestyle café chain really don't need much introduction. I'm sure you can easily spot them anywhere in Malaysia after its debut since 1997..right?

Secret Recipe’s Grilled Black Pepper Chicken, my husband can't wait any longer. He was all ready with fork and spoon when I took this photo.

Personally I just love their wonderful cakes, you can easily spoilt for choices as each cake serves on their counter looks irresistable and tastes like heaven :D
