Dinner at Mosaic, Hyatt

 My Sis inlaw's dad invited us to a dinner at Mosaic, Hyatt, Kota Kinabalu. It was quite a good dinner but of cause pricy. What I love the most is the ice cream, especially the chocolate ice cream, creamy and not that sweet. I ordered the salmon, nothing to shout about though. But I would like to try their wagyu beed burger next time.

 

They served us bread as a starter. I believe the bread were lightly toasted and they served it with butter. Next came the Wagyu burger, however, I did not manage to eat it.

I ordered vanilla milkshake but it was bland. Does not worth the money though.
The Salmon were grilled way too dry. I do like their side dishes though. The portion is just right.

Another order made were the steak and pizza. I did not try the beef but I love the pizza. It has generous amount of cheese and pineapple. The crust was thin and crispy.

They have a great selection of ice cream. There were pistachio, peppermint, green tea and others. What I love the most is Chocolate. It was not sweet at all and creamy.

 



 

Pancake House, Karamunsing

Last Friday, my friends and I decided to have lunch at Pancake House, Karamunsing. It is now having a promotion for buka puasa. The promotion is available even during lunch. The price was reasonable.

I ordered the Fried Chicken set where it included fried chicken, dates, air bandung and pancake. Only need to add extra a Ringgit or so to the original price.

My friends ordered soup and salad (this is not included in the promotion). Below is the soup, she said the picture and the actual soup look different as she could not find the asparagus as shown in the picture.

This is Tuna Macaroni Salad. It was just handful but the taste was quite delicious. It wont be enough for me alone though :P

This is my order. Fried chicken. It was drumstick and thigh, served with rice and eggs. I could not remember if the rice was fragrant or the white rice. It was topped with egg and special sauce. The chicken were not salty, which I think they had to be dipped into the sauce. The sauce was very very yummy. I could not describe in words though (salty and the smell is good). My dessert, which is the small pancake with marjerin / butter.

Another friend of mine ordered another type of salad, it has taco, chicken, cheese, veggie, kidney bean and more. I would prefer this compared to the tuna salad. However, the sauce given were too little. We requested for more and they were happy to provide more to us.

 Another dish out is the pancake with ice cream. It looked so beautiful and inviting. I did not tried it out so could not comment much. However, all my friends that tasted it said not bad and will come back for more.

We also ordered some cakes from a colleague, Chocolate Moist. It was so moist and fill up with lots of chocolates. The sweetness was just right. Cost only RM2.00. So cheap. Best to make it as a door gift. Yummy.

Kinabalu Club, Shangrila Tanjung Aru Resort

Such an elegant place with delicious tray of food. The place was suitable for business discussion. Some of the type of food served were very quite expensive.

Lunch at Lucy's Kitchen, Secret Recipe, KFC and RCH

I also went to a few Halal and serve no pork restaurant for lunch.

1) Lucy's Kitchen at 88 Marketplace 

I read a few blogs about this cafe. Heard at they served a very delicious food and good dessert. So I gave it a try.

I ordered the lamb with rice. Nothing to shout about actually. The lamb were tender. However, I can get such dish at a bigger portion in other place.

I also ordered the durian pancake. I heard it is a hit in that cafe. It was indeed very yummy. I can eat the cold, sweet flesh. The pancake's thickness is just right. I reckon you must get this although the price is slightly high.

2) Secret Recipe at Citymall

It has been ages since I eaten in Secret Recipe. So I took the chance last week to have lunch there. Although the it was famous for its cakes and pastries, we did not order those.

The first dish was the spring roll. Crispy outside, juicy inside. Savory taste just good for me. The portion was too little for me though.

Next came the Laksa Singapore. Since I did not eat it, I do not know the taste. However, it was mixed with santan which is not suppose to, according to my sis inlaw. The serving looked big though and she said the taste was ok.

Mine, the grilled chicken chop with rice. I love my food. The rice was very fragrant, the corn was sweet and not too soft. The chicken was tender and I love the thigh part. I love chicken with mushroom sauce. Definitely coming back for more.

3) Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) at Karamunsing

I am craving for fast food the other day. Thus, my friend and I decided to head to KFC for lunch. I ordered the dish with rice. Had the mixture of both original and hot & spicy chicken. I requested the drumstick and thigh. Yummy. The rice was tasty, butter-ry taste. I do not like the soup though, too much MSG and the chicken ball are not springy. I like springy balls.

4) RCH at Karamunsing

I had a take-away with my friend from RCH. I ordered lemon chicken. The chicken were fried with flour and the outer part were crispy and inside were tender. The gravy were sour and sweet, the tangy taste really good when mix with chicken and the fragrant rice. They also serve some pickled with it. The chilly sauce also good. Not too hot. I love this dish a lot.
