Created in Dallas, Texas in 1975 as a neighbourhood style restaurant with uniquely Southwestern flair, Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant serves homemade quality food in casual atmosphere. The menu was simple and the decor capture the enthusiasm and energy of Chili's and its wait staffs, complete with tiles and tiles tabletop, colourful poster and unique hanging on the wall and from the ceiling.


What I like about:
Big portion with moderate price. It will be worth for every penny. That defined Chilis. This time I enjoyed the lamb shoulder as you could see the large portion for serving. It suppose to come with seasonal veggies but I opted for fries. Couple with mashed potatoes there goes my superb lunch. The decoration also will amaze you while dining in. Service also supported by attentive staffs. Do not forget to try the bottomless drink by Chilis as I love so much the mango juice.

What I do not like about:
Arrived at the restaurant about 1pm. Still plenty of empty tables and it kinda weird since usually it require to queue for table for about half an hour. The food only arrive after 25 minutes from ordered. With less number of customer, I would expect that the service will be much efficient. Wifey fire grilled chicken with portobello was overcooked and this need to improve. Simply no-no for the guava juice.

Restoran Murtabak Singapore has been featured in Jalan - Jalan Cari Makan (JJCM) around February 2011. Since then, I have been craving any opportunity to drive to Bangi to try this "King of Murtabak". Recent visit to this restaurant, I had the opportunity to chat with the owner. He shares with me, that Dato Farid (ex Media Prima CEO) is one of his loyal customer. He also added that dearest Prime Minister is also one of his loyal customer as most occasion held at Sri Perdana, Putrajaya will serve his murtabak.

What I like about:
The size of the murtabak for sure! Haha! Look at the size, as size always matter! =p
Taste wise, it does taste delicious. You could see for yourself the way murtabak is prepare. It started with the first layer, and repeated over time to make it to that size. Egg will function as the "glue" to stick the "chicken/beef" to each layer. The size will be well worth your money.

What I do not like about:
I not that happy with the restaurant cleanliness. I hope that it can be further improve. So this time, I take it home.

Fish & Co. Restaurant - 1 Utama Petaling Jaya

Contact:

Other Location:
*Bangsar Village
*Gurney Plaza, Penang
*Warisan Square Kota Kinabalu
*1 Borneo, Kota Kinabalu

Fish & Co. is also quite established in Singapore & Indonesia.

My first experience about Fish & Co. fall few years back in Singapore. The idea about seafood in pan seems attractive to me. Over the years, it started to establish in outlet in 1 Utama. Since then, I have been a frequent customer to this Fish & Co. Recent upgrading to this branches have draws number of customer coming in to the restaurant. The words about the seafood in a pan has travelled.

What I Like:
I always see Manhattan Fish Market (MFM) as a strong contender for this Fish & Co. in Malaysia. Price wise, MFM always a bit on higher side. Since Fish & Co. has received a good feedback from customer, recent visit to MFM Subang Parade I saw a drastic drop on Platter for 2 price. In term on taste, my vote will go to Fish & Co. The rice taste better and fish and chips too. The big glass drink for Fish & Co. is a good idea too. Its encourage for you to share the big glass for two persons.


What I do not Like:
My opinion the Fish & Co. is lack of staffs. On my visit, I saw about three persons handling the floor like a headless chicken running around to take order, clean the table, and attend to customer. Maybe need to improve on this.
