Seri Damai Restaurant & Catering

Went on our usual Saturday lunch date, and my friend was craving some Pakistani food. And I definitely knew where this was leading to. So we went down to our very first haunt, which is Seri Damai Restaurant & Catering

This be the signboard and entrance of the restaurant. It is situated in Kiulap area at the same block with Chong Hock. This was our first haunt when we went out at Kiulap area to eat, and we came here a few times, though this will probably be the first time I do a piece on this.



This be the interior of the restaurant. Definitely has a Pakistani feel to it, and you will be entertained by the Indian channel of the usual drama with song and dance movies that you used to grow up watching when you were a kid. Ahh, those were good times XD

Trigger-happy on the table cloth


Our usual order of sweet lassi, which is never complete without it whenever we eat anything Indian




My friend ordered a set meal called Sa Rang or something like that, which basically is briyani rice with two sausages, two pieces of chichken and some vegs and naan and curry sauce to go with it. Looks pretty nice, and I stole a bite of sausage from him and tastes pretty chewy. Though since it's freshly cooked, my lens fogged up the moment I wanted to take a close-up picture of it. Dammit!


I ordered the set meal as well which the Super Deluxe meal, consists of white rice with something like chicken masala with half a naan and curry sauce to go with it. The chicken tastes quite basil-ish, but at the right texture and flavour, and the sauce was pretty thick and spicy


This is the combination of me and my friend's naan in a basket, which is actually thicker and chewier than the other naans I've eaten in other restaurants, but easier to tear


These are the sauces we have for our rice and our naan. The curry dahl was nice and thick, and quite flavourful, and the other sauce was cold and chilly to the taste, often made me have a chill down my spine when I put it in my mouth LOL

Here ya go, finally, after years since the fact, I did a piece on this restaurant. This restaurant is well-known for having quite spicy and big helpings, and some say it's quite authentic, so if you fancy Pakistani food, this is a pretty good place.

Youme Restaurant

After meeting up with the guy in charge of our backdrop to find out the prices and package offers, my hubby and I, along with our MC, went to somewhere nearby to have dinner, and we decided to eat at Youme Restaurant

This be the signboard and entrance of the restaurant. Situated in Menglait at the same area where Quadrovision and Tien Hsing Vegetarian restaurant is. According to my hubby, this is the sister branch of May Fang, but not sure if he actually meant it


This be the outdoor dining of the area, since we want to have some fresh air and not freeze to death indoors. It has a pretty kopitiam setting more or less, and quite empty since it's way past dinner time, but at least there is a big projector TV to entertain us. Unfortunately, can't really hear the sound through the din and instead of actual entertaining shows, they switched to football. Goddammit!!


While I went to the loo, I managed to have trigger-happy on the interior of the restaurant. Those dirty old men over there, if it were back in my hometown in KK, would probably be boozing instead of drinking cheap tea XD


Le MC decided to go healthy and ordered herbal tea, though it pretty much defeats the purpose of cooling off when you're drinking it cold when you're supposed to drink it warm


My hubby ordered Teh-C ping, and I had to trigger-happy on it to show the MC what a blog whore I am


My drink of 100Plus


As usual, my hubby often ordered what he usually order in Chinese restaurants when he can't find anything special that suits his fancy: Wa Tan Ho. LOL! I tried the sauce and it's nice and thick, though I have a feeling the vegs and seafood literally buried the damn noodles


I ordered Tom Yam noodles, though I forgot to tell them that they should give my noodles as meehoon instead of the usual yellow noodles. Not bad, the taste, but it's more towards sour than spicy though. They could use a little less lemon grass and lime, I suppose

Here you go, my two-cents on the place. Nothing too fancy or interesting to report, it feels more like one of those casual kopitiam restaurant where it's pretty much a forgettable experience, but fine to visit to eat if you're feeling hungry while you're within the area and don't fancy to starve yourself with vegan food XD

Pastamania!

After a long day at work (and realizing my hubby's mom is doing OT), we decided to eat out after running a few extra wedding errands (again!) and decided to give this new restaurant a shot, which is Pastamania

This be the signboard and the outdoor decors of the restaurant. The restaurant is situated within the new Times Square, probably one of the many franchises around the globe, that was recently opened at our area in Berakas, which is considered our airport mall and just across the street where the block where Axtivo Restaurant is situated (small world, eh?)

This be the real entrance of the restaurant within the shop





This be the interior and decors of the restaurant. It definitely has the US bistro cafe feel to it and judging by the number of customers they served that they have at their cashier counter, I'd say it must be pretty bloody popular, although I'm not sure whether it's been brought forward by the original branch or it's the actual number of customers served within their Times Square branch


My hubby ordered orange juice, and this one looks much better as its namesake than the one in May Fang. Maybe because it's not real fresh orange juice, I suppose XD


I ordered white coffee, for the sake of staying awake because I had brought work to do at home and also to keep warm, since I'm not exactly being in the warmest of areas and drinking cold stuff is just going to freeze my butt off


We ordered the soup of the day, which is cream of tomato, and it was really as much as its price indicated: in such a friggin' small bowl!! We barely even tasted much of it before it was empty! But it tastes pretty good. An interesting flavour for a veggie soup

My hubby ordered their spaghetti bolognese. It looks quite interesting and yummy, too bad I forgot to a far-off shot of his food. Apparently here in Pastamania, you're given the choice of choosing your own style of pasta for your meals, be it linguinne or fettucini or the like, so he ordered the old school one for his spaghetti (totally forgot what that bloody name was >.<;;)


I ordered one of their seafood menus that had mussels in them, since it's been forever since I ate mussels, and the pasta I picked was linguinne (I think). The pasta and the sauce was pretty good, and the mussels were oh-so-fresh-and-Q kind of feeling. Mm-MM! Though I couldn't resist sprinkling tobasco on it for the sake of spiciness


Our appetizer of hash browns, which was supposed to come first, came last of all. Pretty unique design of displaying their hash brown, and it's nice and crispy and pretty flavourful. I almost wanted to eat the whole thing on my own LOL

That's the outtake of my experience in Pastamania. Possible reprisal required XD And it is highly recommended and quite affordable to eat there. We went there another time during my eldest sis-in-law's birthday (but didn't have time or chance to do a reprisal) and apparently they do birthday parties by hiring mascots to entertain us. It's pretty interesting.

So fancy a bit of affordable Western food while you're in the Berakas area? Go here!
