Swensons @ Juru, Autocity

I guess it has been some time since i last went to Autocity. There are so many choices of dining at the latest happening spot, but we decided to dine at Swensons.

its menu

caesar salad-RM12.90 (highly recommended!)

cheese macaroni-RM15.90 (too diluted)

fish sambal-RM15.90 (taste just like any other grill fish)

I guess Swensons is still the best for desserts! :)

Clinic Cafe @ Gurney Plaza

I love catching up with friends because it gives me the opportunity to dine at new places like the recently newly opened theme restaurant, Clinic Cafe at Gurney Plaza. Following its name, this cafe is decorated just like a hospital, only with more cheers (red colour). Even the waitresses and waiters are dressed like nurses, doctors and surgeons. They call their kitchen the "surgery room". Interesting, huh?

notice the operation-theatre-like lamps on the ceiling

Food-wise, they serve fusion-type from oriental to western to a little Malay such as nasi lemak.

fresh carrot juice-RM6.80

honey lemon-RM5.30

iced white coffee-RM6.80

clinic chicken pasta-RM11.80

black pepper chicken pasta-RM11.80

yong zhou fried rice-RM7.80

The taste of the food are only so-so. I guess people go there more to experience a different ambiance of dining. I am one who will most probably not go back as i have gotten the taste of dining in a well-decorated "hospital". :)

Invited Review at Tree Monkey

It was a Sunday and i get to dine with the monkeys at Tree Monkey. :) Before i proceed explaining about this place, i would like to thank Mr. Warren for the food review invitation. The place is located right next to the Penang Spice Garden, which is a little pass Hard Rock Hotel, Batu Feringghi. Anyway, there was no monkeys during the entire dining session, instead i spotted a few squirrels. :)

Tree Monkey adapts a serene and relax concept with all its tables and chairs made of wood imported from Indonesia.

Sitting on the deck allows you an overview of sea. They hire all Thai chefs and thus they serve Thai cuisine. As the bloggers were invited for a food review, we were hence served some of their popular dishes.

Thai tapas which comes with a choice of 8 pieces (RM30), 12 pieces (RM45) and 16 pieces (RM60)

Asian tapas which comes with a choice of 8 pieces (RM60) and 12 pieces (RM90)

tomyam soup (comes with Asian tapas)-not spicy enough

tumeric rice(to be eaten with Asian tapas)-RM14.80

sunset paradise (only available between 6-7pm)-RM10

coconut ice cream

Workers there are really friendly, not sure if that was because they knew we are bloggers. Honestly, i would say that the food there is a little pricey. You rather convince yourself that you are paying for the ambiance instead. Also, the distance of the place would make you think twice. Besides that, you don't have to worry about parking as there are abundance along the road. They also provide free insect repellents just in case you notice the existence of the little creatures. :)
