A Nice to Chat @ Passion Corner, Miri

Passion Corner with its Chinese name “Bamboo Forest”, you will see some bamboo wallpaper and decoration inside the restaurant, making you feel like you are having meal in the forest, but not too impress me, haha. There is second floor where those with some numbers of friends or family can have wider space for gathering and dining.

Three Layer Pork Meat Set

This set come with rice, salad, appetizer, soup of the day and dessert.

Beef Steamboat Set

The steamboat is personal set with some vegetables and others like fish ball, tofu, etc which already been putting inside the pot when serving. The set also come with a bowl of rice, appetizer, salad, desert, green vegetables and grass noodles.

Special sauce, but I personally only prefer soya sauce for steamboat.

Tea

Overall, I do like the small personal steamboat set which look “cute” and fun to me. The price seem a bit high, I mean not affordable to dining here too frequently, but every set do come with lots of things so make it seems worth as well. One more point, the boss (I believe he is) is very friendly and nice service too.

Buffet Steamboat @ Japan 23 BBQ Steamboat, Setapak, KL

 

Location: at CenterMart, Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, Danau Kota, across the road from Platinum Point, may enter through Jalan Genting Kelang or Jalan Usahawan

Steamboat is my favourite, it will be good with BBQ, and if there is buffet style BBQ Steamboat, then this will definitely

suit my stomach, because I can eat as much as I can without counting how much I should pay.

 

There are some fresh seafood, but I guess should need additional charge for this.

There were many different kind of snails, you can pick as many as you like.

Different kind of choices: Japanese tofu, white tofu, mushrooms, fish ball, flammulina, different meat like chicken, pork, lamb, beef, and some meats were marinated for BBQ.

    

Also had those we usually have for steamboat: sausage, ham, fish cake, prawns (not fresh in tank), oysters,etc.

Not only that, those who are too hungry and can’t wait for steamboat, there are some cooked foods here: shark fin, fried nuggets, fried meehun and mee, sushi, cakes, and fruits.

Each person entitled for 2 fresh prawns which included in your payment, will need to charge extra if you want more. Here are the prawns that were still in the fish tank.

 

Can you see how big and how fresh the prawns were. These prawns were still “jumping” inside the basket and you will need to be careful when putting it into the soup, because it may “jump” out of the bowl.

 

Getting started. You can take your own sauce, like chillies and soy sauce, but don't forget to take butter for BBQ and sesame oil for the steamboat.

Second round… this time was BBQ scallops.

  

The price paid also including one coconut drink per each person.

 

BBQ meats that grilled by restaurant’s staff.

 

 

Enjoy Grilling

After doing some research online, I had decided to have a try in 極屋精饌燒肉 , which is a grill meats restaurant. What I had found from comments online, it has quite a worth eating, with acceptable ingredients at a reasonable price. It is located at Taichung town, opposite GuangSan Sogo, easy to locate, just get off from bus at Sogo bus station, walk along ZhongGang Road (中港路一段) for roughly 2 minutes, and you will see the 極屋 restaurant.

It offers variety of choices in terms of pork, beef, mutton, chicken meat, prawns, seafood, and vegetables. While each type meats have choices like pork meat has streaky or known as belly, pork butt (shoulder butt or collar butt). I didn’t know which part is best to eat, so I just simply choose some to have a try.

Chicken Soup in pot

Before we made the order, the waitress had served us a pot of chicken soup, for us to warm our stomach and chase out cold. Feel warm after drinking the soup, but personally do not really like the taste.

I had ordered a set meal for two persons price at NT676, where I can choose two sets of main course, 6 plates of small dishes, an additional dish (either rice or udon mee), two cups of drinks, and two desserts.

Beef Set

Pork meat (side dish), seafood set

It use charcoal to grill

Main course mean the big plate of meats you choose, there are three choices: pork, beef, or seafood. Since we can choose two sets of main course, I had ordered for beef and seafood. I like beef a lot. I like the rice too, quite special, with some smash fish meat on top, smell good and tasty.

Dessert - Ice cream and chees yogurt

Desserts are ice-cream and cheese yogurt. For me, the desserts are just so-so, still ok, but not impressed me. Overall, this restaurant is quite worth eating, especially the set meal, where we can eat until stomach full. Of course, the choices and quality of the meats are less attractive comparing with others higher class restaurants, but with the price that 極屋offer is worth to try.
