method Malaysia – good kitchen cleaning products

I been slowly but surely switching over to method products for my household needs.
After the pleasant bathroom cleaning experience (can any house-cleaning be pleasant? You bet!) I moved on to the kitchen, another area that gives me more headache then I care to share.

Good steaks in KL – The Steakhouse, Changkat Bukit Bintang – 50% off for AMEX card holders

Ok, I finally managed to add another steakhouse to my ‘highly recommended list’.

I’m fussy about my meats and so far Qba Latin Bar and Grill had not disappoint. However, it is pricey for the average income earner and may be better suited for memorable occasions where candle lights and sleek dressing are warranted (though not necessary). Still, within this month of October, do take advantage of the RM190++ MIGF menu for frankly, as it is truly value for money.

MIGF 2013 – QBA Latin Bar and Grill, Westin Kuala Lumpur

QBA became my favourite steak joint during the time I had my Starwood Privilege Card and is still is today. I go around eating steaks a lot (that and burgers) and admittedly, I can be fussy with my meats.
Though expensive, Qba had never disappointed me even after numerous visits. There were parts of the meals that wasn’t 100% to my liking, but overall it was never entirely bad.
To date, I had sampled almost 70% of the ala-carte menu, which means I need a reason to re-visit. I was itching for something new, an excuse to dine at Qba again. And thus the MIGF was just timely.

The menu last year deserves a solid ‘A’ for taste, presentation and value. Happily enough, Chef Pearl surpassed expectations again this time. This year’s MIGF menu was both surprising in terms of creativity and flavours.
From the start, the trio (have I said I love having variety on a plate?) of shrimp, chicken and corn chips – crunchy chips, sweet zesty tomatoes and the smoky BBQ sauce worked the digestive juices into overdrive in anticipation of the evening ahead.

A Composition of Tapas:
Chili Con Carne, Corn Chips, Sauteed Shrimp with Spicy Tomato Sauce, Smoked Chipotle Chicken with Orange Barbeque Sauce.

The annual Norwegian Seafood Gala Dinner. It was everything I’ve heard, read and seen about and more. I might have been invited to many events in my capacity as a blogger, but this Norwegian Seafood Gala Dinner was always one that I have read in awe and feasted only with my eyes, and only online.

Topshelf – French Restaurant in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI)

A French place barely 10 minutes walk from my home had been in business for a while now and I had been uninterested until my big bro posted a picture on FB giving it his approval.
Now, if he approves, the place is worth checking out for sure. On the evening of my visit, I bumped into a another friend who in turn bought me dinner that night.
