This week, we explored a new place in Bangsar. A very stylish row of bungalows turn restaurants. We had a stroll along the row to take our pick. Each restaurant has their own unique outer settings. There were a selection of Vietnamese, Thai, French, Mediteranean, Western etc.
We were attracted by this restaurant which seems to be newly open for 3 weeks. The entrance to this restaurant is barred by a a solid wooden door. Nice earth colour sofa seats with nicely litted lantern designed lights. Chose the sofa seats at the balcony area which is more quiet. Was recommended spring chicken with spices and had duck meat carbonara coupled with Spanish red wine. Splendid environment overlooking the road.

Sky Bar, Traders Hotel
Most talked about place. Magnificent. Much better than Luna Bar. We didnt make any bookings but we were able to make our way in and were made seated at the sofas at the entrance whilst waiting for seats availability at the bar.
I have heard of this place from friends and made some information searching at their website. Frankly, I was taken off by pictures posted on their webpage but anyhow I tried to make some bookings for my dear's birthday but was told that it was fully booked and bookings should be placed 1 week ahead and if group bookings, 2 weeks ahead.
As we walked towards the inner section, we could clearly capture the well litted twin towers on our right and towards the bar we could see the KL tower.
We made our way into the bar section and were lucky to secure a table where 2 patrons has just left. Made order on a bottle of Brown Brothers Limited Edition white wine.
The interior view was magnificent, with a rectangular swimming pool in the middle and opposite, sofa couches side-lined the pool.
I prefer Sky Bar than Luna Bar as they control the number of patrons and hence the crowd is just nice. Luna Bar is more crowded. But pool view wise, Luna Bar has a nicer pool view.

Chef & Brew, Damansara Perdana
A see thru concept of restaurant situated at the corner. Nice setting. We tried their spicy lamb cutlet which is quite nice. Ordered a grilled salmon but sadly to say it was overdone hence the meat is hard. Had a South African red wine, it was bit soury but priced was about RM60 per bottle.

Lobsterman, PJ
I actually wanted to visit the outlet in KL but it seems that it has closed down. The KL setting was far better than this one in PJ. The setting in the PJ outlet is like a chinese restaurant. Music played was lousy. I like the Charbroiled preparation style of lobster. We chose the dinner set which starts with a choice mussels or escargot, soup, lobster, choice of baked rice or spaghetti and ends with cofee or tea. We chose mussels and baked rice. Both is a disaster. The mussels were topped with cheese and it was just tastless piece of mussel flesh. The baked rice was also topped with cheese and it is worst than Kim Gary's famous baked rice. Pricey and not nice.

Maison
It was my pick for the night. I wanted to book for Sky Bar or Luna Bar but I was late for bookings for the week. So I decided to book this place instead thou I have been before. The put off was they didnt put down my bookings and I had to put on alot of talkings to allow them to put me thru. I was happy to get into their sofa seats...I love their sofa seats.
Casa Vino, The Curve
This place is really freezing. We were seated near the entrance where the airconditioner was placed right on top. Barrel was made into a table with wooden stools. Frankly, the place we were seated is not very comfy as I could not place my legs properly.

Sevenatenine, Ascott Hotel
The restaurant is stylishly designed in white. We moved towards the upper floor where I have made our reservation. I tried on their recommended dishes the Three Pepper Squid. Main meal as Cod in White Miso and Rosemary Scented Double Lamb Cutlet couple with wine. The food is served to perfection. But one slight complain is that the seats we were placed does not have a ceiling fan to it. I looked thru all the tables and ours were just to the exception with no fan and plus the fact that I wore a white scarf just sweat me out. After the meals, we moved to the ground floor for drinks and for a more airy atmosphere.

Tamarind Spring
The restauarant is set in the midst of housing area. I seriously do not know how one could find such a remarkable restaurant as the roads leading to it is so confusing. But the effort is well worth. There is a parking place next to the restaurant. The wooden entrance to the restaurant looks simple but once you take a step off the entrance, you would be delightfully welcomed with a flight of steps paved towards the restaurant entrance. The long flight of stone steps are well litted with candle lights at the side. Our walk is accompanied by sound of crickets. The wooden floorings and restaurant is cosily designed with Thai decoratives. We were seated at the corner with the soothing sounds of the waterfall. Dishes are so so but the setting is marvelous.
La Bodega, Bangsar
There is two outlets but I prefer the setting at Bangsar instead of the one located at Bangsar Shopping Centre.

Umaiya at The Place, Damansara Perdana
Its a Japanese restaurant located in a shopping centre, The Place at Damansara Perdana. The restaurant is easily seen from the outside of the shopping centre. Hence, just park the car outside the shopping centre and walk in. It has a cosy setting with long wooden benches with back rest. Decoratives of Japanese lanterns and sake glasses.
Frankly, I couldnt remember all the names to the dishes that I have tried...but i try to my best here to describe the food that I have tried. My personal favourite is one that is prepared with fresh tuna and ladies finger. I love it cos the tuna is so fresh and it just goes very well with the stickiness from the ladies finger. There is another one which is not too bad which is something with foie gras and beef...quite a good combination of taste. The rest is like soft shell crab maki...which one of my visits wasnt that fresh...hence affected my impression of the quality of food. But anyhow, the tuna is such a good go for.
