Welcome to Kitchen Creatures, the no-frills dining restaurant!

RAWR!!

Had a casual dining session with the bloggers on Friday night @ Kitchen Creatures, Centrepoint Bandar Utama.

There were some who left earlier, thus not in the group picture above =]

I ordered the Monster Platter which consists of fried shrimp, calamari rings, mushrooms, fried chicken wings and nachos

As well as the Slimey George – Sprite + Ribena + Lemon

And more food pictures…

Aglio Olio Spaghetti

Bolognese Spaghetti

Carbonara Spaghetti

Ribeye Steak

Sirloin Steak

Monsterised Burger (Chicken / Beef)

Chicken Pie?

Stuffed Mushrooms

.

So, you’ve seen the pictures… It looks nice, but does it taste nice?

Well to be honest, the food there was nothing to be ‘hoo-haa’ about. The food is nice laa, but like my calamari rings was just… calamari rings. A friend said his pasta was just… pasta lor. Nothing special but nice =]

HOWEVER…

The food pricing is very reasonable! Except for the drinks tho because i think it was a little bit pricey than normal. I mean, where can you get nice Chicken Chop or Fish & Chips for RM11? Lamb chop, sirloin steak, ribeye steak, etc for RM16 only? If you know anywhere else that serves affordable AND nice food like this, please tell me! But no… Till now i haven’t found one yet

And the best part, Kitchen Creatures pricing are nett and tax free! You pay whatever price that is on the menu only!

Do pay them a visit if you’re around there

Previously known as Yaki-Yaki Japanese Barbeque Buffet Restaurant, it’s now being renovated as House of Buffet (HOB). Situated in Jalan Bukit Bintang (next to Low Yat Plaza), they serve local delights, Japanese and Western cuisine, as well as appetizers and desserts with the likes of free flow Baskin Robbins ice cream!

And recently there was a bloggers-food-session at HOB House of Buffet @ Jalan Bukit Bintang

The interior is still kinda new because it has yet to be officially opened at the time we were there few weeks ago.

This is the ‘frying’ bar where you can find those fried stuff such as Japanese tempura, fried sweet cake, fried finger food, etc…

Western cuisine bar with all the chicken chop, beef slices, etc…

The salad bar

The Japanese bar filled with sushi, sashimi, and other Japanese related food…

The sashimi weren’t really THAT fresh, but yeah it’s definitely better than Sushi King in terms of freshness for sure!

The dessert bar with tarts, ‘mochi’, jelly, etc…

They also serve different variety of cakes such as Tiramisu, Oreo Cheesecake, Strawberry Cheesecake, etc…

I tried the Oreo Cheesecake and it was okayyy, not bad for a buffet restaurant cake lol (considering it’s not Secret Recipe). BUT, their Tiramisu is crap! It isn’t Tiramisu, it’s SPONGECAKE with loads of CREAM!! Blerghh! Don’t take that if you’re visiting HOB lol.

One of the attraction in House of Buffet has gotta be the free flow Baskin Robbins ice cream! They don’t have the typical flavours such as Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry but they have other flavours from Baskin Robbins instead.

There were also beverage station with different juices served free flow…

But these fresh mini coconuts are the best! I drank like 4-5 coconuts that night!

Anyway thanks to SmashpOp for inviting to join along the makan session!

All in all, i wouldn’t select HOB as an option for buffet meal unless someone pays for my meal lol. I’d prefer more of Japanese food so… with that price, I’d rather go to japanese buffet places such as Saisaki (cheaper!) or add on a lil bit more for Jogoya, Tenji, etc… More worth it in my opinion!

Ohh! In case you guys wanna prove me wrong, here are the restaurant details so that you guys can try out for yourselves haha!

All expense paid for Penang return flight + transport around Penang + Nasi Kandar Line Clear + Penang Famous TeoChew Cendol + Coconut Jelly + Famous Pasembur + awesome bloggers and great company = Malaysia Airlines (MAS)!!!

HAHAHA!

Yes yes, MAS really rawks!
They sponsored us bloggers for an all-expense paid trip to Penang on the 13th December 2009 hehe!

Our first makan stop in Penang?

No, not Kayu Nasi Kandar, it was closed that time and we didn’t plan to go there either. You want Kayu, PJ also got la… Why come to Penang lol!

I don’t know what street it is but i’m sure if you’ve been to Penang, you must’ve heard of Nasi Kandar Line Clear =]

From what i heard, it’s actually quite famous and has been existing since a long time ago. It’s situated in a rather hidden, narrow lane among those other bigger restaurants lol.

MAS bloggers while queuing up at Line Clear Nasi Kandar!

Then off we went for Penang famous TeoChew cendol at Penang Road!

WAHHH the cendol nice! But i think it’s abit too sweet hmmm.

MAS bloggers FTW!

We also went to Joez Coconut! They serve the famous Penang coconut jelly @ Jalan Dato Keramat!

You want? Nahhh… Coconut jelly for youuuuu!

The boss of Penang famous coconut jelly lol!

Later on, we went to buy some tao sa pia from here (i duno where is it also lol)

As we were quite short of time and some of us (not me!) were already quite stuffed, we went straight to Padang Kota Lama for the ‘famous’ Pasembur

What can i say? Like crap lor. KL rojak much better LOL! Or probably because we chose the wrong place to have the ‘famous’ Pasembur hmmm…

Then it was time to head back to Penang airport and then to Kuala Lumpur…

And this trip was made possible all thanks to MAS and its new MHmobile flymas.mobi flight booking service!

With MHmobile service, we managed to check in the flight to and fro KL – Penang without going to the check in counter, without a physical flight ticket, without going through the hassle of booking the normal way, without having to sacrifice trees to produce the physical flight tickets

It’s all so easy! As easy as 1, 2, 3 ahaha!

And i’ll show you HOW easy it is in the next blog post! Stay tuned

*UPDATE*

Flymas.mobi – As easy as 1, 2, 3!
