House no.3 reunion (20/09/2009)

It has been a very meaningful week since the start of the Raya break. I've been catching up with old friends (not literally) whom I have not met for some time. High school mates, primary school mates, uni mates.. you name it.. -sighs in delight- Aahh..Long Raya weekend, how I love thee. Here's a post on one of them... :)

Had a lovely reunion last sunday (20/09/2009) with the TTS house no. 3 + 5 gang from UNIM. It's been a while since we got together to catch up and spend time (even then, the group was not 'complete' as some are not in KL at that point of time).

Met up at the Curve, after which we had a loonnngg discussion on where to eat and soon decided on Italiannies -___-"


Apologies, I cannot remember the name of this tomato-based dish but basically it tastes similar to the Chicken Pomedoro below.

Chicken Pomedoro (Not sure how it is spelt, I vaguely the remember the name as it is, hope I got it right). I was not impressed with this dish at all as there was only chicken, with bits of cheese on top, and tomato sauce in between the chicken and pasta.

Fried Calamari. Pretty addictive stuff (and calorie inducing too. Also capable of causing a cardiac arrest if consumed too often :p)

Salmon Fettucine. Perhaps the reason why I preferred this to the Chicken Pomedoro is because I am biased towards cream-based pastas rather than tomato-based ones.

'Yang Berhormat (YB)' Pradeep Vasudevan (who came strolling in much later when the rest of us were already seated) scrutinizing the menu :p

US! Missing in picture: Yan, Han Seng, Ken Seong and Tze Jin.. sniff.. :(



We later popped by Baskin Robbins for some ice cream after watching G-Force in 3D (after lunch). YJ and I coincidentally ordered this flavour with lots of praline and bits of cookies/choc in it (forgive me, I cannot recall the name of the ice cream- it had the word Praline in it though). Abit on the sweet side but hey it's low fat yoghurt hence the consistency was quite light :p . Some ordered Rum & Raisins, a flavour which I still cannot appreciate at all. :s

LOL. Look at their happy faces (above and below)

AHAHAHA.. YJ kor kor eating his ice cream like a little boy. :p

A couple I truly salute and admire alot for their years together and their maturity; Wei Yong & Kok Hong. :)

My ex roomie, Diane .... and our happy faces after ice cream ^___^

La Suisse (12/09/2009)

La Suisse, a place nestled within Damansara Heights, used to be a restaurant we would frequent to since I was a child.

Sentimental/cosy Fine Dining. That's La Suisse for you. Decors are not extravaggant, in fact nothing has changed since. I certainly give credit to the owners (two brothers)who have painstakingly maintained the place. Even the head waitress is still working there. La Suisse was one of the places I 'grew up' with. Perhaps that explains why I always had this nostalgic feeling everytime I step into the restaurant. I can't not blog about this.. can I?

Pics:

Butter Fish with Prawn Sauce. Note that the sides (consisting of boiled potatoes and finely sauted spinach) were still the same as I remembered them to be. It may look simple, but the taste was and still is exquisite.

Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Seafood. Trust me, the dish itself looks more appetising than what I have snapped here. The bad pic is due to a combination of bad lighting, an amatuer photographer (me) and a hungry father (note the fork on the plate).

We ordered three dishes actually. Mum ordered Dory Fish with tomato & basil sauce, which was very well seasoned with fresh herbs. I did not take a pic of that though as it looks similar to the butter fish dish. Their menu has not changed much too. I love their desserts as well.. however, our already shrinking appetites prevented us from ordering at least ONE dessert. :(

The food in La Suisse is rather pricey mind you..esp for those on a budget. Dishes can range between Rm30++ to Rm50++ but one dish itself can be pretty filling. If you are willing to have a one night splurge on a romantic/sentimental dinner, this is a perfect place to go to. In fact, I'd strongly recommend the place for your typical cosy Valentine's dinner. :-)
