To be honest, the cocktails are good and the seafood paella with black rice is really tasty and I highly recommend this if you plan to visit Mercat Barcelona Gastrobar. We had a great family brunch at Mercat Barcelona Gastrobar Spanish Restaurant Mount Kiara and that is a great way to spend quality times together with good food and drinks.
Lacon Gallego de Cochinillo (RM 56) Get this delicious Galician style roast Spanish sucking pig leg with potato cachelo. With the look of it, it may not look appetizing but after the first bite you’ll surely in love with it.
Baby Lobster RM25 Absolutely fresh and succulent, the briny sweetness of the lobster meat was further enhanced with a subtle earthy olive paste and tangy tomato. So delish, this baby lobster is to die for!
Slow and Tender Iberico Baby Back Ribs RM95 The ribs were served flamed right before your eyes. Perfectly browned and charred, the honey plum glazed ribs were accompanied with seasoned fries and vegetables on the side.
Mont Kiara《The BAR N Wine Bar》是一家西班牙酒吧餐廳,提供舒適休閒空間又帶有復古風格的室內設計,餐廳裡設了一個葡萄酒區,價格公道及種類繁多讓食客自行選擇自己喜愛的紅酒。
With its considerable portions, affordable prices, and tasty food, I think Kodawari Menya is a great place for a casual dining experience. I certainly think the drive here is worth it to get my udon fix once in awhile!
♥Verdict: A good place for udon, the rice bowl was the only miss of this meal. I think I’ll just stick to udon next time, hehe (*´∇`*)

I’m not sure if we’ll return to O’Coffee Club. The dishes are hit-and-miss, and the menu is a little dull. There are only a couple of dishes I’d like to try. The burger we ordered was tasty, but I don’t know in what situation where I would choose this burger over the ones from Crust. It’s hard to find a decent burger in Mont Kiara, so I’m keeping this place on my list. O’Coffee Club is a passable option that’s a good deal since it’s a larger portion and includes a drink.
This restaurant has only been open for a year and a half, but this place has quickly gained popularity. It boasted a consistently full house during our visit. The food is very good but also great value, evidenced by all the single men that came in to eat alone on a Friday night. How very Japan!
Verdict: Portion was slightly smaller than usual and the exclusion of Ajitama as default toppings for Ramen is rather unacceptable for me. Taste wise, the Ramen at Ken Shin-Ryu definitely scored up to my expectation, if I had to comment, it would be the Tonkotsu broth which was kind of too thick for me.
Generally, there’s good ramen to be had here. I’ve conceded there’s no ‘best bowl of ramen’ as it all depends on personal preference. Some may like a more full-bodied broth, or perhaps lighter, different kind of noodles or other details. If I’m in the vicinity, this is where I’ll go for a bowl of ramen to savour the great quality, well-made textured noodles.
CLASSIC BURGER- CHICKEN/BEEF (MYR 17) Homemade patty with signature sauce and cheese. Each bites feels mouthful and satisfyingly sinful with well-textured inhouse made meat patty. This version by Hachi Bakery allows me to savour the grubs worry-free as no other unnecessary fats addition are included except real and raw ingredients used in producing it genuincely. Hence, it’s really juicy and delightful in its own way.
Reasons to visit La Tasca Del Mercat: a pleasant spot for breakfast in Mont Kiara; Rich loves the Cubanito and Catalan Breakfast, my top pick is the Shakshuka and hubby loved the Eggs Benedict; pick up your favourite items from the deli before you go.
Kimchi Fried Rice (RM 15) The kim chi fried rice is such a nice one. I am in love with their kim chi fried rice where they are fragrantly fried with some kick of spiciness in it. The rice comes awesomely good and they are perfect to share as well as portion comes pretty generous.
Two large eggs scrambled to perfection and it was very reasonably priced at RM 3.00 . They were even very generous with the amount of milk used and it clearly showed it the taste. An excellent preparation that deserves a perfect 10/10.
Overall, it was a good dinner. Good service, delicious food and big portion for us. It's more than enough for 2 people so I suggest to share it among 3 people to avoid wastage.
I think I have developed a crush on my bowl of pork soup ramen here and it definitely worth to splurge a little more for the great quality food!
Ingredients here indeed are fresh and good. Enjoying some good steamboat, and willing to dig in slightly deeper in your pocket, then this place is worth to consider.
To celebrate this festive season which is all about reunion, where everyone comes together for lots of eating, sharing and laughters, Yezi has launched a special CNY 2017 menu, putting together 3 choices of steamboat set for 6pax and 10pax, price started from RM488++ onwards.
Yezi is currently running their Chinese New Year 2017 promotion and there are 3 different sets you can choose. Each set is available either for 6 paxs or 10 paxs. We had the opportunity to try Set A for 6 pax recently and these are some of the things that comes in Set A. There are 3 different soup flavours we can choose and they are the Properity Broth, Imperial Canton Broth (without chicken) or Fragrant “Shao Xing” Wine Crab Broth
Mont Kiara is a bit out of the way from central KL, and I wouldn’t recommend travelling out there for this. However, if you’re nearby and have exhausted your usual places, it might be worth your while.
Hot Chocolate (MYR 12) Smooth and rich cup of Korte 60% cacao content from West Java Sipping some good cuppa while accompanied by a calming landscape front view- bliss!
[Pork-free] Don’t be a rookie, have a Brookie. Brookie (brownie + cookie) is soft and chewy, with gooey choc chips inside.
Hence, if you are looking for a spot for a leisure hangout with family and friends over scrumptious cuisine, do check out Breadfruits for a cozy environment and I personally enjoyed their wild honey drink series besides the luscious porky affair and the addictive Moroccan Chicken Popcorn too! Try it out soon guys (=
SATO San Smoked Chashu Donbori (MYR 22) Smoked chashu served with homemade teriyaki sauce and onsen egg and spring onion The whole combo comes very nicely presented, most importantly is yummy! Just love the very well marinated smoked chashu with generous amount of toppings, highly recommended!
As the main star of the day, BreadFruit's house special, Smoked Chicken dish is simply amazing. Tenderly prepared with care as the meaty chicken is lighted seasoned with spices and herbs before being smoked to perfection.
I was completely surprised by the food at Burnin’ Pit. Our sandwiches were huge and loaded with ingredients. Both of us were absolutely stuffed before finishing our meals, and I wasn’t hungry for the rest of the day. I thought this would be a very generic restaurant that wouldn’t put any effort into the food – that they were simply coasting on their status as a barbecue restaurant, which is why I didn’t want to waste over RM200 for a platter only to be disappointed. However, I was very impressed. The food at Burnin’ Pit was so good that I will gladly come back and try their expensive barbecue platters.
The Peri Peri Chicken. It was so moist, so smoky flavorful and was great eaten with the pickled gherkins and green chilies. My brother was even talking about coming back and then ordering 1/4 chicken each. It was that good.
Salted Egg POBOY RM19 – crispy, deep fried to golden brown squid flash-fried with salted egg, Chilli padi and Indian Curry Leaves; generously sandwiched between baguette. Sided with fries. An order that both kids and adult will approve.
Ooohh..la..la... the meat was tender and juicy, even better than the one we had on our very first visit. The tomato sauce which is similar to the one served with the Patatas Bravas enhanced the riblicious experience. We regretted not going with our gut feeling of getting a full rack. Next time!
To be honest, I was not hungry at full capacity (surprise, surprise) and I myself may have been underwhelmed by the experience. But still, my brother and I ate with gusto as we always do.
Verdict: It was an enjoyable Spanish lunch, a very unexpected one indeed. The food definitely good enough to induce repeat visits.
Good service, but small portion and average taste given the price point.
Although the staff’s attitude could use a tune-up and the prices are obnoxious, I begrudgingly have to admit that the food here is quite tasty. It’s what keeps this place decently busy, even at midday on a Monday with no lunch sets offered. This meal cost us over RM50 and we didn’t even get any drinks, and Mark wasn’t all that hungry and tried to get something small. If you’re a regular person who cares how much money flies out of your bank account, Ra-Ft should be reserved for an occasion and not just a whatever work lunch. And definitely make sure you are hungry, so that you’re not paying RM20 for a salad.
The Botanist RM25 – a vegetarian dish that caught Summergirl’s attention the most, as not many cafes have vegetable-loaded brunch dish like this other than salad. Gluten free bread with mashed peas spread, further layered up with broccoli, zucchini, kale and pea sprouts! Not to forget, a poached egg hidden within.
Overall, we enjoyed the two ramen bowls here and would return again to try their other offerings.
We had the Shiro (ori) and Koro (squid ink) – the tonkotsu broth – supposedly boiled for 36 hours or more – for both were hearty, full-bodied and packed with flavour and depth – definitely not for the faint-hearted. For RM31.20 you get 2 sizable slabs of chashu, an egg, fungus, seaweed and spring onion – in other words, the works, including a cup of oolong tea. It’s RM39 for Tsukemen which has chewier, denser noodles.
This is undeniably a great bowl of ramen. You don’t get ginormous queues like Kanbe does if the food isn’t extraordinary. Every bowl is crafted by the person ordering it. The other ramen shops I’ve been to only allow you to choose what type of flavoured oil you want, and most times there are only about four options! Kanbe, however, allows for all sorts of adjustments, many of which do not require an extra surcharge. I love the additional freebies, like the bottomless veggies and tea. The tea is a small touch but makes a difference. Drinking plain water with ramen just doesn’t taste as good.
Dakgalbi at Jin Jin Soo Ra, Mont Kiara #malaysiafoodie #koreanfood
Delicious Korean food, no complain.
Here’s a hidden gem in Plaza Mont Kiara. After boxing class on Friday night, we met up with some friends at JinJin Soora 진진수라. Operated by a Korean family, they offer Korean BBQ but what really stood out were the set meals.
