Lakeview Cafe at The Heritage - Is the grill worth it?

I was really concerned about going to lakeview as they are one of the few restaurants at The Heritage without the word "grill" in their name but a very prominent grill in their menu. Also they are not really in view of the lake... so false advertising.

The service was good and the staff were attentive and polite. I went as a party of three and we sampled three different areas of the menu. We had  Chicken Beryani, Filet Steak, and Shish Taouk. For drinks, I braved their ice lemon tea, the others drank coke.

The iced tea looks weird but it had a nice balance of tea and sweetness.

Chicken beriyani smelled divine with a nice blend of spices and fragrance

The filet steak was substandard at best. Ordered medium it came on the wellest end of well done and was tough and chewy. The saving grace of this steak was that it was very well seasoned and very reasonably priced for the portion size. The grilled vegetables were very oily and are recommended to be skipped. 

Shish taouk was grilled perfectly and served with the same sides as the steak except for the sauce which was a small garlic sauce.  The sauce was ok and modestly flavourful. Most impressive is that this dish goes for a seal-clobberingly low price of RM 12.


The bottom line

If you find yourself at The Heritage or Mines area and are in the mood for some casual western type fare for a low price check out the Lakeview Cafe.  You can't really view the lake but in the end that doesn't matter that much.

ESL Writing Tips - Paragraph Structuring

I've been working on some writing materials for a course I am supposed to be teaching next week, so I thought I would get the ball rolling by making a post about basic paragraph structuring. What is a paragraph? The most basic thing to learn when tackling writing a paragraph is to understand the relationship between the components and understand the definition of a paragraph. Our end result is the paragraph but before that we must have some sentences, those sentences are made up of words, those words come from ideas, and hopefully our ideas have a theme or topic. To sum up a paragraph is a bunch of words on on topic organised into a series of sentences. Simple right?  What are the parts of a paragraph? So glad I asked because I have a picture just for this: So Informative Many learners do not pay close enough attention to the impact that a good topic sentence can have. In order to have a good topic sentence you must ensure that you have indeed made a logica...

Urbanfresh at Setia City Mall

I recently made the unfathomable trip from my home to Setia City Mall in Setia Alam Malaysia. I was, of course, in search of interesting shopping and imported food. Some background. For those of you living in Setia Alam congrats on picking a beautiful place to live; however, my condolences as you all live in the bloody boonies!  Setia City is an INCREDIBLY nice mall with a fine selection of shops and F&B outlets, but unfortunately no game stores or Chilis (TGIFridays? Really? Ugh.) I stumbled upon a grocery store that looked quite up-scale and my import sense started tingling. What a classy place with words like Urban and fresh right in the name it must be good. The pillar says "fresh food" for seal's sake so come on! They had this interesting apple display going on at the front of the store.  This is actually a cardboard tree with apples all around it. It is a neat idea... I just hope the apples didn't grow on cardboard! The fresh fruit and veg...

Like a g-wrap like a g-wrap A review of McDonald's G-wrap

With great zeal and enthusiasm I marched to my local McD's here in Malaysia eager to try the newest taste sensation - the G-wrap.  The G-wrap gets its 'g' from its evil step-brother the GCB.  If you are outside Malaysia or just not up on your fast food (for shame) the GCB is a Grilled Chicken Burger. Basically they take the fattiest part of the chicken(the thigh) slather it in oil, griddle it in more oil, then leave the soggy chicken skin on (for added oil). The uhhh succulent 'grilled' to perfection chicken is thrown on a sesame seed bun with some garlicy secret GCB sauce and a salad mix (lettuce, carrots, leaves).  If that wasn't 'gud' enough they jumped on the wrap bandwagon (they get things late here) with the G-wrap. So what is a G-Wrap? Its the GCB in a wrap instead of a bun and it costs a little more. Why does it cost more? Why, because fat idiots like me want to write review blogs! If you like the GCB you will like the G-wrap. Soo please stop r...
