This post will be updated from time to time as I sample more dishes from Andes BYO in Aman Suria. For my earlier post on their TO- DIE- FOR PORK BURGERS, click HERE

For a quick lunch, the set lunches here is pretty worth the $. For RM7, (not incl of 5% service tax), the portions are sufficient for a normal- appetite diner & it comes with iced tea.

This is Andes’ Yummy Mummy Lamb Stew. The first vision I got from the word “lamb stew” is the thick broth-y version with chunks of carrots & potatoes. Well, here at Andes, it got Chinese-fied.

Fancy your Bak Kut Teh fix at 630am?
For this place, the phrase “the early bird catches the worm” rings true. According to some reliable sources & die hard fans, Teh Kim Tek opens at 5 am and you will be scraping the pot if you arrive any later than 9am.

(pic below: See?? The skies were still dark when we arrived!)

The restaurant boasts of 2 shoplots & for those who wish to breathe the “chi” of the morning, feel free to settle yourself under the trees right outside .

Andes BYO @ Aman Suria for Pork Burgers!

I love my burgers. I think that’s no secret for those who knows me & follow my blog . However, I got a particular weakness for PORK burgers and would visit food outlets just for their pork burgers & nothing else.

Andes BYO (Bring Your Own) at Aman Suria took over Pizza vs Satay earlier in this June. I personally thought it has done us all a big favour; for Pizza vs Satay was hardly ever operational in the 1st place. And we certainly welcome more eateries here in deary Aman Suria, especially one with WIFI!

Ande’s comes under my “favourite under RM15” pork burgers category. No doubt places like El Meson, Sid’s etc serves superb pork burgers but for “Rebecca’s Porkburger-meter” they will fall under gourmet pork burgers between RM20-35 so comparison of taste, texture & flavour is more fairly judged.

Andes BYO – Pork Burger, RM12.90.

Look at that, every pork burger lover’s dream isn’t it? Chunky, meaty, pink and juicy. All for RM12.90!

Nambawan Cafe, Taman Sri Manja, PJ – Another option for PORK burger!

Always on the look out for good pork burgers, it didn’t take much persuasion for me to seek this place out, especially after reading a few positive reviews from blogs.

Unfortunately, the area completely eludes me. And Old Klang road is not a vicinity I would venture into voluntarily. GPS coordinates would have been helpful, if any could be found.

The only option left then, was to get a human GPS. The one that I know, however, happened to be a lazy won’t -travel-far-for-food-unless-it-is-bak kut teh bum.

So one weekend, I refused to eat lunch unless lunch is at Nambawan. And wisely, the other half figured that instead of dealing with a sulky bitch, a phone call to find out exactly the location of Nambawan Cafe would be a better alternative.

And thus the weekend was saved. I sat in Nambawan Restaurant & Cafe a short while later & happily browsed through the menu for my order.

iL Lido, Italian Dining & Lounge Bar – one of KL’s best Italian fine dining restaurant

Italian restaurants in KL are a dime a dozen. Malaysian have somewhat developed a penchat for Italian food; hence the flourishing of Italian food purveyors. And oh, you do not want to get me started on Japanese.

Every eatery now boasted of a pasta section, with marinara & carbonara being prominent items. Boil some pasta, slather some sauce on top, toss in some ingredients, plonk it down at your table.

‘Here, ‘mam. Your pasta.’

Oh no. I’m not gonna eat that.

Thus the blast of fresh air to the Italian dining scene with the debut of Singapore’s iconic Italian restaurant and lounge bar, il Lido here in the heart of KL. And I though Favola (post HERE) was good. Heck, Italian fine dining just got better
