I didn't realize that this post have been hibernating in my pending write-ups section for so long and we went here during my birthday! It has been kinda hiatus lately resulting the degeneration of memory...
What I remembered well was...
As a Starwood Privilege member, Rewards? It's just so easy to get. Dining privileges where you dine for free, great discounts rate at participating restaurants. Be it seasonal gourmet fares to authentic local treats.
You could visit http://privilege.starwoodhotels.com for more info of the participating hotels and resorts or to join Starwood Privilege.
Not cheap for sure, but for a fine dining experience and a 50% discount we get, we didn't complain. Total bill came up to about RM400++ after discount plus a complimentary Tiramisu (whole cake). Thanks to Starwood Privilege again :)

*humming after Rolf & Lisle*
We recently celebrated our bestie's sweet 26 in a little cafe poured with warm decos, friendly staffs and a display counter filled with cakes & desserts waving gracefully at us. The Haute Food Co. was the venue for Citygal's birthday. An ideal place to relax and enjoy healthy light meals with your companions; a spot for tete-a-tete & catching up. A great compliment to the named 'fashionably elegant' which means haute, was the fresh ingredients that they used. You'll see why once you've tried and I believe many patrons have became their regulars now.
Their coffee is brewed from Genovese coffee beans, from Melbourne. Aromatic and smooth.
Cappuccino - RM7.50
Huck's Cafe: a Private Kitchen @ Gasing Indah, PJ
It was a spontaneous 'YES' I answered when the besties Kampungboycitygal, AiWei & WenChing decided to throw a birthday celebration for Chris and I at a private kitchen.
Visiting a private kitchen has always been on our eat list for quite sometime but somehow fail to discover the nice ones. As an avid fan of TVB dramas, we've known that private kitchen is a unique type of eatery in Hong Kong. Typical one is based in an ordinary apartments, the capacity is usually less than 10 customers, with no prominent shop signs & advertising is usually by word of mouth from friends. Well thanks to Citygal, we get to know about Huck's Cafe at last.
Do bear in mind if you were to visit Huck's, RESERVATION IS A MUST as it's a home dining concept with limited seating capacities.
Huck's Cafe is nestled in the PJ neighbourhood, offering a three course meal with beverages included at RM68 nett per pax. Affordable and quality home-cooked food that all of us yearned for. Let's feast!
Refreshment:
We started off with the Basil Seed Mint Soda for a refreshing start.
Starters:
Complementary Salad
A combination of mandarin oranges, rose apples (jambu air) & leafy greens. However, the flavours of the dressings could have tasted stronger.
El Meson: a spanish table @ Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar
We decided to have a rather 'Spanish' birthday celebration for the two sweethearts whose birthday fell on the first month of this brand new year.
A cosy celebration for AiWei & WenChing:
our partners in crime...
the culprits who boosted our motivation for more food-hunting...
It's ok. Cos we still love you!
Feliz cumpleaños girls! It means Happy Birthday in Spanish ♥
We settled for El Meson located on Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar for a warm Spanish dinner. Going easy on our gastro-quota, we started off with some tapas. I adore tapas; small Spanish savoury dishes served from selections of meat, seafood to vegetables. We love it being SMALL… but these small servings would be huge as the variety adds.
I miss Spain. Very badly. And an order of the Iberian pig, very well known to be found at an area in Southwestern Spain seemed a must
Iberico Pork Strips in Honey and Sweet Paprika on Potato - RM24
Chorizos - RM16
Spicy Spanish sausages on Confit potatoes
Su's Cakes for Kicks @ Fahrenheit 88
Tea Time!
And the first stop we spotted was this little baby blue sweetheart found on the ground floor of Fahrenheit 88.
Another birthday treat from the BF where he decided to feed me to the fullest with desserts so that he could sit down and grab his daily caffeine (yeah, after tiring ourselves over at Tangs Pavilion).
And yes, we did not get anything from Uniqlo.
Su's Cakes for Kicks used to be only available in the cyberworld for offering tantalizingly home-made cakes dated as far back in 2004 as a home-based bakery. And now, setting up a kiosk over at Fahrenheit is a clever idea.
We settled for their well known Durian Cheesecake - RM8
(throwing away the bad breath thought totally!)
Every forkful were creamed with durian and cheese!
