Hey guys, hope u guys can help me out here. i'm taking my gf out for her birthday next month, and it's going to be just the two of us. any suggestions on where we could have a nice dinner/lunch at 1utama, the curve or sunway? cos i think she would like to watch a movie or shop around after dinner/lunch. so i prefer eating in the mall. i was thinking of Chili's, but she went there a few times already and i'm afraid she might be bored with that place. my budget is about rm150 for 2 person... i know it's not too much... but i need to save up for her birthday present as well.. sad.gif
thanks for ur suggestions guys! notworthy.gif

if you are looking for fine dining,

rule #1 : no franchise store is up for fine dinning
rule #2: inside shopping mall , the moment will not as romantic as you would like to be

look for alternative , you will have better luck with your gf ... hahaa
*
i know... the restaurants outside are better than the ones inside the mall.. and i'm excited to eat somewhere classy outisde too... but i just dont think my gf is the kind of girl who likes to go to multiple places.. if possible, she wants to eat there, shop there, watch a movie there, all at the same mall... that's the prob... sad.gif but thanks anyway smile.gif

hehe, when i mentioned fine dining i was actually referring to a decent and nice place to eat for two people... not exquisite dining places like the ones u guys are going to... can't afford one (although i would like to go there too)... ok, will change the contents of my request.. sweat.gif

how much can you afford? smile.gif

take for example Zing at Grand Millenium, I got to know them during my coverage of MIGF last year.

just a few months back they invited me for some food tasting. biggrin.gif seems like their weekend dim sum brunch buffet promotion is pretty alright, RM 55 (can't remember nett or not) per person.
*
huh? 55? for a dining place listed in migf site? drool.gif i thought places like that would cost about rm100 per head.... anyway, i can only afford rm150 at most for 2 person... somewhere halal, cos we're muslims.. if they serve alcohol, it's allright cos we can just order something else to drink... i really dunno much about fine dining, sorry.. i think my budget would only allow me to eat at a nice place like delicious cafe... sweat.gif

no pork in that dim sum. i was told that muslims go there to eat too. biggrin.gif

for budget RM 150 i go places like Tony Roma order nice full-rack beef ribs. brows.gif not sure if Alexis is halal, went there and was nice.

you can try The Apartment.
*
we're not that much into dim sums.. my family loves them though... hehe.. sweat.gif
hmm, i guess Tony Roma and The Apartment is quite convenient too.. since both are available at the curve... and i've been wanting to try out those ribs for quite some time now.. hehe. now i have a few available options! thanks goldfries! never knew u'd be helpful in stuff besides hardware.. thumbup.gif

i answer you here. biggrin.gif so no need reply your E-mail already hor. tongue.gif
so u actually got the email i sent from ur site? hehe. then no need to reply already la. already have a few choices now. thanks again biggrin.gif

like The Apartment, aiyoh so small la the dish we ordered.......... luckily eat for free, moderator gathering. wanna see the bill? tongue.gif

Alexis also, aiyoh so small la the dish we ordered.......... luckily eat for free again. tongue.gif Nokia N97 Preview. brows.gif but surprisingly the roasted duck or whatever it was wasn't small at all, in fact a rather generous serving of duck meat.

Another place worth trying is Izzi Pizza (or was it Izzy) but don't try the Damansara Uptown branch la, wanna go also go that one in KL itself.
*
whoa... never knew being a mod has such benefits... lucky u! anyway, i heard about izzi pizza from my fren too.. he likes fine dining too, and he said that izzi pizza is the best he ever had so far. better than all those franchise pizza like pizza hut, domino, shakeys, etc. must pay a visit soon! tongue.gif

Apartment @ curve:
Dam bengang wif this place man. rm10 for a coke wtf.
*
rm10? the most expensive coke i've ever seen! even a heaven-sent cherry coke costs rm6 only... strange thing is, a lot of people go to that place. i always visit the curve during the weekends and the place is always crowded.. dunno what's the attraction...

want to touch touch grope grope you have to find other place la.
at italiannies can touch touch grope grope... not many people and the seats near the wall are high... but of course i never did any of those lar... my gf would slap me even if i touch her tummy...

QUOTE
The Apartment - please la, only go if you have deep pockets. around there you can try Italianese also mah (Spaghetti Carbonara is nice, probably the only thing I order. LOL). TGIF got quite some nice choices, i usually go for burgers la but there are some new stuff in the menu. some people like their JD steak.
*
i went to italiannies once and i ordered the same thing too! the spaghetti carbonara was really nice, it was very creamy and the portions are quite generous too.. too bad we went there once, cos this time she said she wants to try something new... but i have to decide and surprise her... what a heahache.. rclxub.gif

i liek italienses , can paktor at the bench seats.

ppl canot see from outside also.

that the idea wat. can touching touching i lap u , u lap me.
*
brows.gif hehe... i know... but my gf like to sit facing each other... not side by side... so cannot touch touch or anything... even if sit next to each other, she doesnt like it if i touch her a lot... huhu... sad.gif but that's a good thing... because if both also hamsap, then... hehe tongue.gif

QUOTE(ahjames @ Jun 10 2009, 04:12 PM)
anyway i not rekomen the 3rd floor.

the decor too modern, not so romancish.
*
at pavillion? hmm, yeah, i'll be needing a romantic atmosphere as well... if too crowded not suitable la.. cannot even talk to each other properly... screaming "i love u!" wont sound so romantic... tongue.gif unless the main purpose going there is just to enjoy food, then crowded also can... ahjames, ur avatar is ur gf is it?

i know... but he has so many diff pics of the same girl, and that girl doesnt look like an artist or someone famous, so i thought maybe his gf la... if she is, then he's one lucky guy... tongue.gif

QUOTE(ahjames @ Jun 10 2009, 05:31 PM)
"Third Floor" is the restoran name in JW marriot.
fine dining, creative food and modern decor . u can guggle it and see the reviews la.

if u budget is below RM150/head i suggest u dun look at those in this thread punya first post , cost those are really "Fine Dining" category.
*
oh.. i thought third floor as in a real third floor.. sweat.gif anyway, i already looked at the first post before.. those are way out of my league (but they're really tempting)... unless they have some promotion or buffet, then it's a different story la... maybe rm150 ngam2 for one person... or two if simple meal like dim sum... smile.gif

got Selayang Mall. Kepong Carrefour and Selayang Capitol nearby. biggrin.gif not sure what's good there.............
*
oh trust me... can hardly find anything edible around those malls... although there are new shops opening in selayang mall like cone pizza, secret recipe, and penang express... might go there for casual dinner, cos near to my place... they say the best char kuey teow is at penang express, although i seriously doubt that.. i dont think there's a fine or decent dining place in selayang or kepong area... most expensive pun secret recipe only... hard to find good food around my place... sad.gif

italiannies is nice, but went there for her last birthday.. so this time cannot.. sweat.gif but rm150 should be more than enough for 2 people, cos their price is quite reasonable actually, even though the portions are quite generous... and the bench seats would be perfect if my gf is horny like me, unfortunately she's not.. tongue.gif i'll stick with tony romas and delicious for the time being... not the best, but more convenient... and maybe after dinner can go to baskin robbins, her favourite ice cream place.. u guys helped out a lot! thanks! thumbup.gif

got also you can't have pork mah, right? smile.gif Stadt in Kepong is nice actually.

surprisingly Selayang Mall's Secret Recipe quite a lot of people leh.
*
yup, we're both malays... but man, bacons are so tempting... too bad i can only eat beef bacon and not the real deal... sad.gif maybe i should buy some bacon salt from bulk orders... hmm... by the way, stadt serves pork (and there's a huge variety of them!), so cannot.. and the other thing is, i love sausages, but she doesn't (i mean the real edible german-sausages)...

anyway, yeah, selayang mall's secret recipe is always crowded... but most people dont actually go there to enjoy the food... they just order a cake or a pie and a drink, and chat with frens for hours... maybe bcos it's still new... after a while it'll be quiet like the rest of secret recipe franchise...
