TONY ROMA'S-RIBS-SEAFOOD-STEAKS RESTAURANT.

This year my son, Mike's birthday was celebrated on a quieter note because of his recent surgery.

We opted for Western food dinner and went to Tony Roma's in Cineleisure, Damansara Mutiara. Petaling Jaya.

The restaurant considered "The Pioneer of Baby Back Ribs" was way too quiet for a Sunday night.
Framed photographs of the man himself with friends and some showcased his chefs and his other restaurants around the world adorned the walls of the restaurant.

Surya, our server was very efficient and accommodating when we requested for more of those free mini hot fluffy buns that comes with Butter, Garlic and Coriander paste.

TGI FRIDAYS RESTAURANT AND BAR,

Did anybody noticed that all the big guys are having promotion using every conceivable ideas and freebies to entice diners to their restaurant?

TGI Friday's was one of them , they are having a promotion of Rm29.90 for a two course meal i.e. for appetizer and entree. Add RM6/ for two choices of Dessert Minis.
Who could resists such a tempting offer?. We could not!
Last night, the seven of us ended up there for dinner. TGIF offers fresh and generous sized casual American style dining meal and if you eat in a group it will be a great experience trying out the different dishes. The place was quite noisy as some young guys were having a birthday bash. The good food and ambiance made up for it, but the lighting was bad for photography. Another bad point -smoking was allowed in the restaurant.

Appetizers:1. (Top) Clam chowder-blend with Celery, Garlic, Scallion and Potatoes-was creamy and smooth with a dash of pepper 2. (Left) Boneless Wings-basted in traditional Buffalo sauce served with fresh Celery sticks - crust was salty-meat was tender 3. Fried Mac and Cheese-golden fried to perfection and oozing with cheese-irresistible!

Friday's Three for All- A trio of their most famous appetizers-loaded Potatoes skins, fried Mozzarella Cheese and spicy Buffalo Wings-served with Sour cream and Green onion, Marinara sauce and Celery sticks with Bleu cheese dressing. My comment: loves the loaded Potatoes skin and Celery sticks with the Bleu Cheese dressing.-Rm35.90/

Entree-Fish and Chip-Three portion of Fish fillet battered and fried to golden brown and served with crispy fries and Tartar sauce-May's comment: Fish was fresh and juicy with a crispy crust.

Entree:Sizziling Chicken and Cheese-A skillet of onions, red and green capsicums with garlic marinated chicken breast over melted Colby and Jack cheese. served with Cheddar cheese mashed potatoes-Mike's comment: Chicken meat was coarse and meaty and the greens were crunchy.

RESTORAN 6-10 GRILL & NASI LEMAK

Dinner at Restoran 6-10 Grill & Nasi Lemak is quick, fast and efficient but the staff are not so knowledgeable, maybe because they are part timers. I remembered eating their nasi lemak and chicken chop, about 25 years ago, when they were just an open air stall just opposite of this present location. Now they have incorporated more dishes to their menu and the taste is very consistent-i like the banana fritters with ice cream. It's corner lot location is well sited from the main road, brightly lit and partly alfresco style dining. It is quite a low key place and parking is ample. Their present competitors- Food Foundry and M&M are just a few doors away!

Chicken and mushroom soup-topped with finely chopped spring onion-very nourishing,creamy and earthy flavor-rm4/.

Grilled chicken breast in brown sauce-with tomato sauced macaroni-well marinated and juicy-rm12.50/.

Nasi lemak-with fiery sambal, rendang curry chicken drumstick and well flavored coconut rice-calorific-:rm7/

Fish and chips with tartar sauce-the lemon sole fish was lightly battered and nicely browned-was fresh and white- rm11.50/

Banana fritters with ice cream- sweet temptation-the banana's (pisang tanduk) crust was crispy and the flesh was firm and sweet-with the vanilla ice cream-irresistible! -rm5.50/
