HotPot Kitchen @1Utama Shopping Centre


 We discover a new trendy restaurant serving 'Ma La' Hotpot Cuisine which is located at Ground Floor One Utama Shopping Centre. If you are a spicy lover, the burning sensation of hot and spicy food can make you feel excited. At a glance, I thought it is a steamboat hot pot Si Chuan Cuisines. Here is actually serving something different that I never try before - The Spicy Fried Hot Pot!. This hot pot place will take you on a delicious Si Chuan culinary journey.


Let's check them out and how this self service restaurant works.

Step 1 : Choose you vegetables/ meat.

Step 2: Choose your favourite flavour to suite your taste bud.

1) Unique Platter (Without spices)
2) Spicy Fragrant

3) Spicy Dynamic

4) Spicy Xtreme



Step 3 : Pay and take your food.




Ample of seats available

Pleasant and comfy dining environment
So we begin our First Step- Choose our favorite dish with meat and vegetables. There are more than 40 ingredients daily and they also will display the food item randomly! You might spot your favourite ingredients from time to time. There are fresh chicken meat, beef, smoked meat, shoulder loin, pork,pork belly ,seafood, etc! Variety of fresh vegetables serving as well for you to choose.

These ingredients are proven healthy and best in quality, thru high-tech sterilization. No preservatives, Safe to consume and clean.

Just put all the ingredients together in a large bowl and the staff will weight the ingredients based on the following:

Vegetables RM 3.99/100 g

Fresh choices of meat.



Our choices of food.



The staff will separate out the vegetables and meat. The weight will determine the price of the food.

Just wait for your food to be served. Once this pager vibrate / sound, your food is ready and you can collect your food at the counter.

Spicy Dynamic (medium spice). I am Loving the most - pork belly and luncheon meat. It could numb your lips with this level of spice, but I do enjoy it because of the excitement and feeling great with the Ma La sauce. The sauce is not oily and perfect balance on the taste.
Spicy Fragrant (little spice) - The mild spicy flavour gives diners a good kick.  Savoury meal combination of fresh vegetables and meat really makes us addictive and cravings to add more rice. Oh ya! you can also add noodles to stir fried it together.

Unique Platter (non spicy) - I love the strong aroma from the garlic (you can request to add more if you want to). This simple and healthy dish is delicious!

You can always choose for all vegetables which is perfect choice for ladies who want to go for light meal and also suitable for vegetarian.
Succulent lala with mild spice
Wonderful meal and best pairing with a bowl of rice
Free flow of hot coffee for all walk in customers. You can cool down the spiciness with a cup of hot coffee




This is the first restaurant you can taste the refreshing herbal drink which are directly imported from Hong Kong. There are almost 7 choices of cooling drinks.

Japanese Food Street Promotion @ Sushi King 1Utama Shopping Mall

I planned my weekend visiting 1Utama because i craving for my rice bowl at Food Box which i have tried before during my food hunt..but i was really upset, the place is change to a local mamak stall and i really wanna try it again..the restaurant is closed, no choice but to find another place to dine in..have been walking from new wing to old wing and now i am back to new wing to dine in, just settle down at Sushi King restaurant..usually at this lunch hour i will have to queue up at Sushi Zanmai. But in Sushi King only two tables occupied and since me and hubby are lazy to walk , we just ordered few plates and my kids for sure they love sushi all the time..

I tried this Kushiage Bento  RM 16.90 The price seems worth it from the picture illustration that i will be getting a fried salmon steak, tempura, japanese pickles, fried scallop, rice and crabstick. When the meal was served, i was really disappointed with the presentation of the food itself, totally different from what inside the advertisement and the taste is awful!! 

My hubby favourite egg bomb rice ..the price still the same and the taste i guess still ok..


Comparison of the food served especially on the salmon steak sizes. The salmon texture is too dry and not juicy. Sames goes to the fried item. 

My girl favourite..but the portion is very small. Overall, the food quality is pretty bad..no wonder even when we left, the place is quite empty.

Yukids Island @ 1 Utama Shopping Mall



Bought the voucher from MyDeal for only RM 14 for one kids entrance to YuKids Island in 1 Utama Shopping Mall. Reached early at 10.30am, my girls is getting excited running all over the place and now my elder daughter have her little sis as her companion...when i look down on the floor mat..the place is getting worst with stains and even chocolates and biscuits on the floor and on some part of the play area..The balloons are in very bad conditions, torn and getting lesser.

My girl enjoying her weekend and she is very independent compare to her elder sister

A lot of difference from the first visit. The jumpy bumpy play area have no more huge air balloons along the transparent tunnel, you might spot one or two small balllons only.

Another section ride for kids. RM 8 per person

YuKids deals is always available in Living Social, Groupon and MyDeal website..I just saw there is 10 minutes deal pop up from Living Social Website offering for only RM 12..But this place have given me a very bad impression on how they managed the facilities. Mostly the balls are dusty, unpleasant condition which might cause injury to the kids and obviously the whole place need to be renovate! For the original price of RM 30 for weekend i think this fee is not worth it at all. Moreover, the staff there is just sitting there surfing net and i wonder will they sterilize the whole playground everyday??

1 Utama Wonder Food Adventure @ 1 Utama's Food Street


We are going to hunt for great food at 1 Utama's Food Street starting from 11am to 4 pm and here have everything under one roof and it's really all in one. Penang , Melaka and other Asian food is all available here and no hassle to drive all the way to Penang to have my O' Chien.

Wonder Food is starting from 4 - 24 Nov, 2013, aims to promote variety of food delicacies and also 1Utama ONECARD which offer so many privileges. 


I am so ready for this gastronomic journey with my map ready, passport in hand and my photographer (aka hubby). Cameras on!

My first choice is the  Ko Hyang Korean Country Delights. Choose the Korean Pan Mee noodle to warm up my stomach and to kick start my engine to fill up my food later on the next station. This restaurant looks familiar and they actually having another outlet in Mid Valley.

Personally, I do like the taste, clear soup with healthy mixture of vegetables. Not to forget the spicy Kimchi is the great appetizer to start off my meal.
Served hot with the smooth pan mee and lots of fresh seafood. I love this meal. More then 19 dishes to try on here.

I walk opposite way to Eat & Happy Yong Tau Foo, with wide variety of the fresh yong tau foo, picking up any pieces and can choose to be served with the soup or with noodles.



Prefer the crispy 'fu chook' and fried wan tan.
Fresh fish paste and the smooth and firm taufu



Seaweed and crab meat rolled with the fu chok . Yummy!

Looking up for some desserts and I move on to try Mr.Cendol. Yeah everything is all about cendol and most famous choices is the cendol mangkuk, But, I am craving for ice cream so this will be my better choice. What a great combination. 
Adding gula melaka syrup as much as you need (self service as provided on the table). I will go just one circle, not too sweet just taste good!!



Mr .Cendol also offered some local Asian food which most of the menu is spicy. Yes. We all love spicy food of course. Will come back for their nasi lemak and mee rebus. Looks so tempting in the menu with reasonable price from RM 8 onwards.


Then, I hop on to this cozy placed called the Seaweed Club.The seats arrangement and the interior impress me the most. Greeted by the petite lady owner, she introduce the chicken floss seaweed popiah that comes with four flavour to choose from. Original, Spicy, Tuna and also Wasabi. I prefer the original and the spicy chicken floss.



Nice food presentation and I really enjoy myself here.
Every piece of the seaweed popiah is filled up and stuffed with the chicken floss.Refreshingly crispy popiah!


I am enjoying every sip of this tea mixture of longan, and kei chi (wofberry), also we called it 'Liong Sui' (Herbal Tea) which i think is far more healthy, promote blood circulation  and energy boost drink, and I am ready to continue to my next station.



Seaweed Club is having on going promotion which I think is very worth the value

Moving on with fast speed to another station which is the signature food O'Chien at Oyster King. Open concept kitchen and clean environment.

Look what I have spot inside my O Chien!, My first bite on the gigantic oyster. Fat, Juicy and most important is FRESH.  The best serving  for me. Delicious!!

Friendly staff at Oyster King and pleasure moment here
Valuable combo meal to try on

Some other menu that looks interesting

Digestion in the progress and I think i need a break. Heading over to the activities counter and I found 4 coupons in my goodies bag. Excited and I am going for my first ever nail art. OMG!!. I have not done any nail art before not even on my wedding day. I wonder why.HAHA. 

This is really fun. I got to choose the design and the nail polish colour and no long queue. Just opt for the simple pinky colour and some butterflies on it.Surprisingly, this counter is occupied by the kids rather then the adults.


My wonderful nail art and i hope it can last until one week times. I just hope the butterflies won't fall into my babies bottles while i am preparing the milk for them. Hehe.
Choosing the best body part for Minions tattoos for my two naughty girls to admire


Posing with my tattoos

Hop on to Bisou and found this lovely place with creative interior and display counter for all the cupcakes. I spotted few lovely cupcakes with beautiful frosting, and so many designs to choose from
Delectable fresh baked cupcakes that is rich in chocolate

Creamy moist chocolate cupcake- One of my favorite as I am truly chocolate lover!

Colour cupcakes.Can I have a bite for each please??

SS2 Goreng Pisang is my next pitstop and I manage to take away  the famous goreng pisang and the traditional chinese 'nin kou'. They have lots of choices range from the sweet potato, fried yam and the cucur udang.

Crispy and moist when i taste it. Great to have this for light snacks
I love Yoo is my next stall. You Tiao, hot selling item. Of course i need to have this and my red bean sesame ball (my all time favourite).

Cravings for other traditional chinese dough such as Butterfly Bun, Fried Bun, Sesame Ball and Mix Bun. The bos is very kind and generous, i can choose what ever food in the display counter.
              

Here also have Tau Fu Fa, Soya Drinks, Liong Fun, Hainan Coffee and White Coffee.I need some cold drinks. White coffee is a better selection for now.

Thumbs up!

Hop over to Ninja Joe and was given the Hikkori Ninja the signature food here.

Pork burger with juicy pork meat. Tasty and flavourful!


Now its time to head over to LG Highstreet and i have my meal here at Lammeeya. Homey and comfy environment with the taste of the home cooked food.
Fulfilled my craving for lam mee. My first try in this restaurant. The yee mee is still crunchy with the thick gravy. Spice up with the hot blend chili.


Walking back towards to the BBQ Chicken.  Mainly this area is covered by huge restaurant and offered more heavier food. The large serving by BBQ Chicken which include the grilled BBQ Chicken and the deep fried crispy chicken with fries and coleslaw. When I use my hand to peel off the chicken skin, it was really hot and crispy. Succulent meat ever.

Healthy meal with 100% usage of the olive oil. Great place to dine in

Surprised given a RM 10 voucher, can be used at KL Festival Mall. Thanks to Josephine, have a nice chat with her

Oh so nice. Not oily at all and so crunchy!


After that I went to Molten Lava. This small place do served variety of food such as the Funnel Cake Strawberry Chocolate with Ice Cream (looks yummy on the menu).
Wow. So many choices and I am getting excited looking at this colourful swiss roll and macaroons.





Churros is the best seller item here.  The flavor sugar spread on top of the churros enhance the taste of churros. Need to have this while served hot. 
Food Box is just locates side by side to Lava.  Mouth watering menu and they are promoting their signature food - Hakka Braised Pork.

Looking delicious.My favorite rice bowl is there display at the main counter. I wish I can finish up three pieces.

Food Box offered non halal food and good to hang out here if you looking for some traditional chinese food such as the sweet and sour pork and the butter chicken. Valuable set with good quality of the food there.


I love this rice bowl. Thumbs up for the spicy dry prawns sambal. I just love the taste so much and I am craving for more.Deliriously happy when i spotted this place.
Kuih Ko Se filled up with pandan flavour and just nice for tea break
Next,  heading over to Vivo American Pizza and Panini which is just opposite BBQ Chicken. Was greeted with warm welcome by the staff and Cecelia ( the owner) gives me three options - Smoked Chicken BBQ Pizza, Baked Chicken Chop and their best selling desserts that you must indulge in ( Volcanic Chocolate and Ice Cream Dessert ).

It was indeed a satisfying meal as the pizza dough is very crispy and delicious with generous portion of the ingredients. I love the BBQ Sauce, and extra layer of cheese. Worth waiting for the pizza (about 10 minutes) and have chit chat with Cecelia, she really wish I can try the desserts , which i love to, but I am pretty full and need to rush to the last station.

Delightful meal  and full of excitement

Rush hour. I need to walk back to the LG Promenade to get my bak kut teh and i have only 7 minutes to reach there by 4 pm . Speed up and i nearly shouted please don;t block my way to the crowd while i was walking. I need to get to Pao Xiang Bak Kut Teh asap to get my passport stamped. I am so desperate and yet i could not locate it. Opss!. Then I try one more round and ya. It was down the lane just beside the Effective Herbs. 

Meet the humble owner and here is a franchise restaurant. Some might get different quality of the bak kut teh depends on the outlet you dine in.
The tender and lean pork rib. The pork meat is Half lean and half fat.  The mixture of meat and skin melted slowly in my mouth, Strong herbs i can smell off and aromatic. I love the thick soup. Simply Irresistible. I like the taste and yeah, end my meal here with total satisfaction.
There are more choices in the menu
