Chef Lim Organic Kitchen @ Scott's Garden

I was driving along Old Klang Road while fetching my new lunch buddy. Saw Scott's Garden and was wondering if there were any new restaurant worth trying. Saw this new restaurant called Chef Lim while passing by the building and decided to give it a try. This is my second trip over to Scott's Garden and the parking is still a bit confusing to me. Most of the lots are still unoccupied which is a bit sad. You can see a lot of adverts on the windows and all. But the outer shops facing the main road are getting more and more by  the day. Chef Lim is located on the top floor above Beef Factory. 

The restaurant is still very brand new from the look of the paint and also the furniture. I like the ambiance of the place as it's very familiar with Full House, which is all white design. The place looked very nice and clean. Brightly lit up and the restaurant is facing outside did have an advantages to it. There were only another table occupied when we arrived. Maybe the place is still very new and not everyone is into organic food yet. So the crowd seemed to be a bit slow. 

Since it's a restaurant that promote organic food, hence there's plenty of health food on their shelves. After scouting out the environment, we got ourselves comfortable and went through their menu. Plenty of choices ranging from Western to Local dishes. They have ala-carte dishes to order too if you are dining in a group. We set our mind on their western dishes. 

Both of us actually are Carbonara lovers. So when both of us saw it was in the menu, we straight away wanna ordered it. But since we are sharing, we decided to order something different and try. The Carbonara came first. Presentation wise, I give it a 6 out of 10. Maybe cause I expect the pasta would be place in the middle high rather than flat down on the plate. Sorry, a bit strict on the presentation here. The pasta doesn't have a strong scent of cheese but rather more taste of the mushroom used. It's not too creamy but just nice and thick. The sauce is a bit special here since there are no pork or meat involved. Not really bad for an organic vegetarian pasta. 

We had browsed through the menu several time and finally landed on this pasta, Anna & The King. Why Anna & The King? Beats me. Maybe cause it's more of a Thai based sauce. It has a lot of vegetables like capsicum, tomatoes and onions in it. The sauce is slightly spicy and sour which might be the reason for the name. Together the pasta seemed a bit flat but when I tasted the sauce alone, it was quite good. But how can you take the pasta and not the sauce right? 

Actually they forgot bout our second order and we had to remind them of it. Maybe they are still new? But then again, the place is not crowded and the waitress are quite free. And we did specifically ordered two plate of pasta. Overall, it's a nice lunch where we have some hit and misses. Not an overall disaster. Good? Well you decide yourself if you do drop by. 

Rating: 

Food: 3.5 out of 5.0 (thumbs up for the Carbonara but Anna need to really work harder with the King). 

Ambiance: 3.8 out of 5.0 (nice and bright. can have a decent chat with your friend since it's really quiet)

Services: 3.5 out of 5.0 (they forgot our order .. )

Giant Bowl @ SS2

I still remember a few months back when a reader commented in one of my post to introduce some vegetarian restaurant. This is because I am such a meat eater from all the post that I had from the first day. I think this is the first vegetarian post I am posting from the 200 over posts I had in here. So anyway, the place is located at SS2 called Giant Bowl. I heard from my friend that the original branch is located at Kuchai Lama. I think this restaurant had been in SS2 for quite some time. I had visited the place for numerous time during luncheon but normally I had their Pan Mee Soup but today we had something different. We had decided to order some dishes to share together hence the interest to blog bout the food over here.

Brown Rice - RM 1.50/plate

I heard that consuming brown rice doesn't really make someone gain much weight. Is this true? Anyway, we opted for the brown rice to the normal white one. But for the price we're paying, it's nothing ordinary bout it.

Fried Bean Curd with Minced Meat - RM 9.90

As I mentioned before, it's a vegetarian shop so that stuff on top isn't really meat. The bean curd was really normal and nothing much to brag about. Portion was enough for the three of us.

Claypot Bak Kut Teh - RM 9.90

This is recommended by my friend who had tried it before this. The claypot consists of fried bean curd, mushrooms and some other meat like made of flour of course. The taste of the soup was really nice and it really taste like the real thing. But sadly no refill.

Curry Mutton - RM 9.90

This is another recommended dish in the house. The potatoes is real but the mutton is made of flour. But the gravy was really nice and the scent of curry powder was just nice. This is a nice dish to eat with any rice. But together with BKT is a bit strange. We ordered it cause we wanted to try out as many as possible that day.

Potato Vegetable - RM 8.90

I am not sure what is the name of this vegetable in English. I think it's called sayur ubi or sort in BM. The portion was really large. We were so surprised when we saw the dish. I ate so much but at the end we still can't finish it. It's plain and simple plate of dish which is good for the health. 

Overall, the lunch was really fulfilling and we felt really healthy after the meal. LOL! It's nice having some vegetarian lunch or dinner once in a while. But I think it's best if we order more of vegetable rather than those flour made food which look like meat. I think a lot of people know bout this place and even tried it before. So do let me know what you think. (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)
