Indulgence

Weekends had always been a time to pig out. It's the time when I go home every week and my parents would stuff me with food thinking that I'll be deprived for the next 5 days. Force-feeding is not just for the anorexic.

I had my end-posting exams this week, which means that I'm done with this posting, and there's only orthosurgery left before my professional finals in March. Scary!! In the past 2 days, I've had quite a gastronomic adventure. Starting from friday lunch, we went to the Seed Cafe in Midvalley, and dinner was at Souled Out Cafe at Desa Sri Hartamas. Yesterday I had lunch at Tony Roma's in The Curve and a wedding dinner at Ritz Carlton. The food at all these places were super yummy. And ambience was +++.

I like the simplistic setup of Seed Cafe. The white and black contrasted really well, and it looked very clean. Very reassuring to eat at this joint =) This was the 2nd time I've eaten at the Seed Cafe. Perhaps I was really hungry, but I think the food is better than before. I had the Pita Sandwich which was served with wasabi mayonnaise, and it was really good! Ka Man's Vietnamese Beef Noodle was fragrant and very tasty. I love the soup. The pastas were good as well... They were very generous with the topping for bolognaise. The price for food is reasonable - my sandwich was RM12.90 and I think the pastas were below RM18.

Dinner at Souled Out was really late. By the time we got our table it was the final call for happy hour. I thought the food was very good, despite some poor reviews I read online. And very reasonable too! I'm so glad I took some pics at Souled Out. Now I can share with everyone!
Kon Voi had this Carbonara pasta (his 2nd creamy pasta of the day!). Personally I can't find much to say about pastas with cream. I think they all taste the same.
We also had a 11" Aloha pizza(RM22) to share. It was nice but I can't remember much about it, so just okay for me.
Mike and Aland decided to eat the same thing. Chicken Cordon Bleu(RM23). Loads of triglycerides on that plate... but of course, taste bud's buddies. Looking at that pic now, I have no idea why I made the bowl of brown sauce my centrepiece. Poor photography, sorry!
Ming had this Fish Burger (RM16). I taxed a bite of the fillet and it was really good!
Ka Man and I each had this yummy succulent Chili something Sea Bass(RM26) which was served with an extremely generous portion of mashed potatoes. I basically love fish, especially cod, sea bass and ice fish(something I had in London years ago). This dish was just great for me.

Everyone was happy with the time spent at Souled Out. It's kinda far for us, but I think we'll return sometime soon.

My lunch at Tony Roma's was good as well. I had a Blue Cheese Burger which was HUGE and had loads of chips. For RM22.90 I think it's a really good deal. There were so much blue cheese on my burger as well! Actually lunch was more of a get-together for Jacinth, Naomi and I, so it was more than just the food.

I was at the Ritz Carlton for Cheryl's wedding. The food was by the hotel's chinese restaurant Li Yen so it was super, and the event was wonderful! I'm so glad it wasn't like one of those typical boring Chinese wedding which was loud and bright. Wedding at Ritz Carlton is so classy... they even had a live band singing classic love songs... aww...

I think Malaysians have a food obsession. Me included. Cheers.
