MIGF 2010 – Lafite, Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur – REVIEW

Note:
What you see is what you get. Dinner is incognito. We paid for our meal.

I have not expected anything less than stellar food here at Lafite. Else I won’t be so readily forking out that amount of cash for their MIGF menu. At the end of dinner, strutting out of the posh restaurant, I’m delighted to report that it was moolah well spent. Kudos to the Chef for the gorgeous presentation that matches the excellent food.

Lafite cuisine is mainly European and their extensive range of international wines are carefully chosen to match with the menu.

Uncle Ben’s Burger Babi @ Ming Tien, Taman Megah – PORK BURGERS!!

Another Pork Burger place tried, tested & reviewed! 😉

I got to know about this place from a reader, many thanks to her for leaving a comment & attaching the FB link in one of my post; or else I wouldn’t have known about this Uncle Ben Burger Babi.

I admit I was a bit put off by the name at first; well… I mean using the word “babi” so literally! It sounded rude somehow?
But let’s ignore that for now & focus on the food instead..

When I visited the FB page, I was immediately fascinated, for it was declared on the side bar:
“We’ll defy anyone to find a better meal than ours! Our meal is a perfectly balanced ensemble of 100% PREMIUM PORK patty, cooked to perfection, with oozing MELTED CHEESE and served with fine cuts of VEGETABLES. All wrapped up in a hot toasted bun.”

Wow! That’s like Uncle Ben calling out my name -” becky becky, come try my porky patty! ” Heh!

The opportunity came rather unexpected yesterday when a certain event left all of us hungry enough to eat a pig, literally. And luckily for us, Uncle Ben Burger Babi opened their 2nd outlet (stall) in Ming Tien Food Court yesterday as well! A good sign; I thought.

Leisure Inn KL – The Preferred Business Lodge!

I’m always appreciative of budget hotels; simply cos they provide, what else.. the most cost effective method for lodging while I splurge my hard earned cash on shopping! 😉

Though I do not have high criteria for budget hotels, knowing that it is budget and all, I do expect at the very least, SAFETY & CLEANLINESS.

My accommodation in Singapore was pretty cool – Prince of  Wales Backpackers’ Hostel was clean, conveniently located & affordable.

And I was most pleased to say the same for Leisure Inn, after I viewed their rooms during the launch just days ago.
