Paddington House of Pancakes has been in Malaysia and shame on me that i have just been there recently.
Chips were served for two. We ordered dinner set, came with a ice lemon tea + the chips.
Grilled chicken burger, with chicken thigh, hash brown as patty too. Love the idea of having pancake instead of normal bun.
And my order: pan fried dory with pancake. I prefer the original pancake though, I think this pancake has been caramelized.

My first time going French. Thank you BigBoysOven for extending the invitation to me, it was indeed my honor, and also Shirley, who took the time to organize and making sure everything was right.
Le Bouchon, a neat little place along Changkat Bukit Bintang. It is actually a few shops before Baan26.
Upon entering the door, you can see the wine rack, look at the collection!
And some bottles are placed on the table as part of the deco.

Before food was served, chef has prepared few dishes for photography purpose.
Don’t you just have to love the way the dishes are served?
FINE DINING = quality counts.
After some waiting, finally, the long awaited dinner is served!
Introducing the new menu:
APPETIZERS
Terrine de Foie Gras maison
Homemade Goose liver terrine served with fig jam and grilled sour dough bread
RM50++
My first time having foie gras which i had been dreaming about!
Comes with sour dough bread.
And the way to eat it! It tastes something like extra rich and smooth peanut butter without the peanut taste. It is quite different from what I imagined. It didn’t feel like liver at all! It is best to go with the fig jam to counter the buttery feeling.

Being a frequent eat-out (which is almost 95%), I do cook sometimes with the 5% of remaining time.
Today, I am going a very simple recipe which not much ingredients, easy and tasty!
The fried spaghetti with chicken chinese style.
Ingredients for 2:
1. 2 eggs
2. minced garlic
3. pre-cooked spaghetti
4. marinated chicken and peel prawns.
You can marinate the chicken with soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper, at least an hour or 30 mins before your cooking.
1. Fried the egg and chicken first. Then set aside on plate, so the chicken won’t be overcooked in the noodles.
2. Heat the wok with oil, then dump in the garlic, after 5 secs, dump in the noodles and stir-fry. Depending on the noodles, you can pick a noodle to taste whether it is too soft or still al-dente. Add about a teaspoon of salt for flavor. Continue to stir fry for about 3 mins then add in the chicken. Continue for about 3 minutes and add in dark soy sauce to blacken the noodles.

Last thursday, lucky me had the chance to pig out in Prince Hotel again, thanks to BigBoysOven. But, it’s Jap food this time!
The ENJU Japanese Restaurant on the first floor of Prince Hotel.
Once you step in, you can see the nice decor at the entrance.
And some origami on the table. I think i can never make an origami on my own. Before i could finish a head or a wing, I would have probably die of frustration.
Oh look! Our food is being decorated! I was really hungry when looking them preparing.
It is quite a neat arrangement for the tables and chairs.
Finally! The appetizer arrived! It was already 8pm and my stomach was drumming like crazy. ( I usually try to have my dinner at 6 or 7pm). The deep fried potato is crispy on the outside, soft and hot on the inside. Gosh, wish I could have more of this!!!
