Chikuyo Vegetarian Restaurant @ Mutiara Damansara

After having pancake dessert, we decided to have some vegetarian food. There is one Chinese vegetarian restaurant called Chikuyo at the far end of second floor of The Curve. At my age, you really have to eat healthy. Singapore government advises that we should eat 2 types of vegetable and 2 type of fruits each day.

The interior of the restaurant is overly simple compared to other restaurants in The Curve. Somehow, I have this feeling the interior design of Chinese restaurants are either horribly casual like a kopitiam or horribly extravagant like a palace.

The design of the fernleaf hedge bamboo bonsai looks interesting though.

Roast Goose, of course mock roast goose. Crispy but oily. Not very healthy actually.

Stir fried cauliflower. Cauliflower was not in the menu but when I asked for it, they said they do have cauliflower. I wanted it to be stir fried with belacan for a change. The dish tasted like curry asam pedas though.

I ordered the above because the Chinese name implied that there are 6 types of mushrooms. I was surprised when it turned up with only 3 types of mushrooms. Black fungus is not a type of mushroom!

I was not impressed with the restaurant definitely.

Paddington House of Pancakes @ Mutiara Damansara

Mutiara Damansara is not the place to go on a weekend. Several giant store are located in this area including The Curve, Ikano Power Centre and One Utama with stores like Ikea, Harvey Norman, etc. But on last sunday evening, the traffic seems to be slightly better.

If you like Northern European food, Marche is a good place to go to. Upon entering, you will be given a card. Whatever you order will be chopped onto the card. You pay only when you get out of this market restaurant.

As it was too early for dinner, me and my friend went into this Paddington House of Pancake to have a bit of dessert. I didn't know you open a restaurant selling pancakes.

The environment of the restaurant was very pleasant I must say. The waiters are mostly from Myanmar and they speak good English.

Hmmm. What kind of pancake should I have?

Should I have an Emperor pancake or dollar size pancakes?

Finally, I decided to have dollar size pancakes with fruits and ice cream. Well! The taste is standard. You know how pancake tastes like, you know how strawberries, peach, vanilla ice cream taste like I am sure. This is a good place to meet friends and chit chat I guess.

and a cup of black coffee.
