I will not walk out of Tony Roma’s without having their signature rolls with garlic butter. Mad Love! Hands up for those who love the rolls as much as i do!
And some of their specialty drinks! Cranberry Mojito & Romarita! I love the romarita (the one behind) as there are this slight sour punch to cut off the sweetness! yums!
Side tracked! Back to the awesome lunch set deals! Each main course comes with a bowl of soup and bottomless soft drinks!
We have cream of chicken and chicken broth soup!
First up, Tony’s Asian Salad with Grilled Chicken. Light and fulfilling, I personally love this dish especially when it is served with the chef’s signature sauce. Veges are fresh and crunchy and the chicken is marinated to perfection!
Shrimp Scampi Pasta, generous portion of the shrimp!
White Barbeque Chicken. Chicken is tender but what makes the dish even better is the sauce! And not forgetting the mashed potatoes!
Mojo Chicken, one of their signature. If you are not a breast person, this will definitely change your mind just like how they change mine. Try it to believe it.
Beef Burger as an alternative for those who wanted to choose meat other than chicken.
Thank you Tony Roma’s for the wonderful lunch set. The lunch deals are applicable on weekdays except for Public Holidays from 11.00am to 3.00pm at all outlets except for IOI City Mall, Komtar JBCC and Aeon Tebrau. Hence, Kuchingnites, lets savage at VivaCity Mall!! All lunch meals are offered at RM 20.03 onwards! Guess I’ll see you there?
I had the Sisan Signature Mojito. I would like mocktail mojito as there isnt any alcohol contain. But still it exceed my expectations. Other girls ordered all kinds of green tea float, green tea frap and ice blended green tea. They are all good!
You can choose ur preferred ingredients for you salad. Price depending on the ingredients you’ve chosen. 🙂 A little bit too simple for me but its ok.
Chicken chop! Chicken chop is surprisingly tender. A thin layer of crispy crunch on the skin and a well marinated juicy meat underneath them. I personally don’t fancy chicken chop but this one definitely win my heart.
Lamb chop. Not the best but its alright. Meat is well marinated but its way overcooked. 🙂
Another dish I would recommend is the carbonara. Strong, milky and cheesy sauce coating every single noodle they served. So fattening yet so so so good! Love it!
Aglio alio is the only least recommended dish among the 6. Its blend and tasteless no matter so much chilli flakes we requested. Give this a pass.
For our week, they served sirloin steak. You can choose your own meat at the counter before they proceed with the cooking. If you ask me honestly what’s my personal opinion about it, the meat is alright, seasoning is perfect but the cooking method can be slightly better. I am very particular in my steak, I ordered a rare steak but they came a little above medium rare. Price wise, its about rm60 for that piece, not to judge weather is overpriced or not but I would say it can be more worthy. 🙂 Or i just had a terrible picky mouth!
But most importantly.. Happy Birthday to our Lawyer Lamby! xoxo!
Its always good when we are all together! #17yearsoffriendship and Happy Birthday to this girl whom I’ve know for 25 years! HOHO!
I was there for a short stay unfortunately. If time permitted, I would have extend a few more nights to explore the place. Metro 360 Kuala Lumpur has a strategic location, not to say it is a walking distance to the Golden Triangle Area, Metro 360 Kuala Lumpur is near to the famous Eatery of Kuala Lumpur, the Jalan Alor food street! Apart from that, party goers, Metro 360 Kuala Lumpur is your best choice as it is just a few minutes walking distance to the utmost happening Changkat Bukit Bintang street where all the bars and lounges are. But not to worry, you can still have a quiet and good night sleep at night.
Yes, just walk straight.
I personally love the entrance. Ceiling is high and elegant. Colour contrast is very soothing.
Customer service is excellent. The receptionist serve us well and provide us with all the information around that area. You know, when you receive good treatment, you know your incoming stay will be a fabulous one.
Oh, Breakfast area is a satisfying one too. The place is spacious enough with variety of food choices to make up your day.
The swimming pool area is just behind the breakfast lounge. The service person told me that the pool was a bit blurry due to the heavy rain these few days. Well, but its good enough. I would want to visit their gym but its under beautified progress. Check out their facebook for more pictures of all the mural drawings!
Oh, you can sort out booking.com too!
The iconic bamboo weapon used in Pontianak in the olden days. 
Nasi Campur or Nasi Ayam is a mixed rice with assorted meats. It look very normal but the taste is surprisingly very different than what we have in Malaysia. Unlike the sauce we had in Malaysia which is very watery and salty. This one is very flavourful and thick, its like there are some spices infused it in, salty with a mild sweetness in the sauce. The rice is very fragrant, all the meats are seasoned with their special sauce and what i can say is, they are very addictive. The famous one will be Nasi Ayam Afu
Kwecap is basically rice rolls served with garlic bits accompanied with a bowl of hearty mixed pork offal soup. I love the rice rolls because its very tender and the crispy garlic bits just added more flavour to it. Soup is clear and ridiculously delicious. How to eat it? I love to eat my meat with sweet soy sauce and lime. Yums!
The coffee in this particular cafe Aming is ultra famous and its packed with humans! You might need to share table for this cup of hand pulled house brewed coffee but for me, its overly sweet the milk had already covered the aroma of the coffee. But i heard its always this sweet to suit the local’s taste. How sweet it is? Its like a sweet glass of coffee, half coffee half condensed milk and I am serious I cant even finish 1/3 of the coffee. However, the kue bingka (the yellow custard tart) is very delicious. Pastry is flaky and the custard is smooth and sweet. Definitely one of my favourite dessert.
Che hun tiao is the transparent jelly alike thing which is normally served in their local dessert. The green colour thing is called bongko and it is by far my favourite dessert because it is not overly sweet. Its like a very dense jelly with a mochi texture. Love it!!
And the service.. You can just order and eat in your car. #superb
Fish Porridge, one of the thing i swear I will come back for more! The fish is so fresh you can see the clear line between the meat and the skin with a layer of gelatin in between. Its not really for someone who love plain and light porridge, this porridge is very very powerful in flavour. Thick and heavy just the way i like it.
I bet everyone love Avocado juice! The difference between this and the normal avocado juice is that my buddy ask the boss to add in fresh chunks of avocado. So after you slurp, you have to open the cover and eat the fruits. Yums!
Nasi kari means curry rice, the curry served here is more to the coconut base, curry is not too thick and heavy it is drinkable. Every each of the rice is soaked in the curry soup. I especially like how they served it with the coconut milk curry with the young coconut shoots. We had this awesome goodness at Nasi Kari Achai
Bakmi Kepiting is a crab meat noodles. Similar to dry noodles, its served with a giant crab pincir! 
OH MY GOAT!! One of my favourite favourite thing on earth! — MUTTON — its a must try! I duno how to describe this because every bite is happiness! The lamb is literally fall off the bone type, stewed in the gravy until its heavily infused with the flavour. The gravy is not too spicy, more towards like spicy and sweet. Best thing on earth to eat with rice!
The charcoal fried kwe tiaw is very impressive. You know when you fried your food using charcoal, they have this smoky aroma attached to it, yes that’s what I am talking about. You can see locals queueing up for this. Noms!
Bakso is generally a very common delicacies served in Indonesia. Here, we have the flat meatballs and the ordinary rounds one. It is said that the flat one is a better bakso because they use very fine meat to make it whereas for the round ones, they mixed all the different meats together. However, I love the round ones more because its more al dente for me and I like to rough texture from meatballs like there are still skin fat or tendons in it. MUAHAHHA
Taste just like the normal teh with sugar syrup. Not too bad but nothing to shout about
OH MY OH MY! Another overwhelming dish for me. Its mixed lamb sup with all the lamb offal and different parts of meat stewed in a pot of hearty milky tangy soup. 
You should eat with sweet soy sauce and a lime squeeze to it, eko said. And he is always right. Pack with flavours. If you are not a lamb person or are afraid of the heavy lamb taste, the milky and tangy soup actually help to cut through the overpowering lamb soup making you craving for more. 
Something similar to our crispy peanut pancakes, you can choose what fillings you want. We order the cheese one and we never regret about it. You can taste a lot of butter, peanuts and cheese. Soooo good sooo fattening. 
The kuih all look very similar but the taste varies a lot. I started to prefer Pontianak kuih more because their flavours is more distinguished. For example the shredded coconut rolls, the filling is packed with coconut flavour and palm sugar, you can also taste the coconut aroma on the outer layer. Egg tart, instead of just the custard with sugar, you can actually taste the richness of the eggs, the sweetness of the custard and the buttery flaky crust with it. SO GOOD SO FATTENING again!
I somewhat missed balinese food and here, food is prepared by authentic Balinese couples. They also have this Green sands non alcohol beer. Yums!
Kepiting means Crab. Asap means Smoke. SMOKED CRAB IT IS!! Crab stuffed with their specialty spices and bring too smoked. You need some skill to smoke the crab so that it could lock in all the juicy essence of the crab in this humongous crab. YES.. HUMONGOUS!!! 
Its as big as a palm of a fully grown man!! SATISFIED!
Ikan semah is a very delicate fish. I like my fish steamed, it is the simplest way to eat fresh fish i would say!
Nothing too shout about but its nice!
These are fried yam balls. Very dense that one piece will make you happy and full.
He Tiau is fried prawn batter. Not my favourite. Its a little bit bland. 
Ko Kue is like rice batter or yam batter served with salty prawns or meats and fried garlic served with their soy sauce. 
Their cai kwe is similar to what we have in Malaysia, a thin layer of rice flour stuffed with different fillings like yam, chives, tofu, yam bean. Steamed and topped with fried minced garlic. 
Preserved young mango served with spicy sauce
Now this is so unhealthy yet one very addictive food, lontong sayur. Lontong sayur is a dish where compressed rice cakes, all kinds of vegetables, tofu, egg, meat are mixed together served in a coconut milk tossed with sambal and some local spices. You know everything shimmered in coconut milk is magic.
Now the otak otak is something different that what we have in Malaysia. Similar as a fish paste, the batter is different. In Malaysia, our Otak otak is more like mushy and soft, in Pontianak, their otak otak is firm and al dente. I love both otak otak, different taste different texture but equally unique and delicious. It is served with a peanut sauce. I can easily finish 5 myself. 
Empek empek is a savoury fish cake delicacy which is deep fried and then served with a citrus tangy sauce.
Fruits smoothies and fermented rice wine. Very interesting one but I would go back and have more. 
Kwe Kia Theng is the least preferable among all the dish i have sampled. Not that its not good, its exactly the same as our Kueh Chap in Malaysia. Pork offal and rice sheets served in dark broth. Not my favourite.
Aloe vera!! Look at the generous cubes of aloe vera! My top 2 fav drinks after Jeruk Nipis. Jeruk nipis is their local wild lime.
Tau suan is a sweet and sticky local mung bean dessert.
