Meet Fresh Malaysia

Another Taiwanese dessert franchise booming in Malaysia.

Lots of people comparing it with the well-known franchise, Snowflakes, and received some supports from their customers. 

Finally have time and chance to try it in One Utama (G floor, Old Wing), and I'm here to share some thoughts. 

The interior design @1 Utama. Just beside the famous Candylicious shop. Quite clean environment, with WiFi available.

One of their wall features.

Similar things to snowflake. With one dessert entitle you for one chop.  But what's bad is they've got the expired date where Snowflakes offer the card for the whole year.

Another familiar thing. Just that the design is different. It vibrates and flashes when your order is ready. Go and pick it up at the collection counter! =)

 And then here comes some desserts we've tried;

 Little Taro Balls in White Gourd Tea with Cream.

It was OK. A refreshing drink non the less with those mini taro balls. for those who loved taro balls can definitely try this. Priced at RM5.90. Dessert coded 801.

Lemon and Vegetarian Gelatin Shaved Ice- My favorite- if you like the sourness and the Gelatin- you can definitely try this. More or less the same with Snowflakes, but this tastes even more- but sometimes the sourness can be discouraging.

The signature dessert (I mean, which Taiwan dessert shop does not signature this? lols)
It's Meet Fresh Signature Herb Jelly (COLD)- with Taroballs and cream. The Taroball taste less than Snowflake- but maybe healthier. Overall a good dessert but not a memorable one.

So if you have love these kind of desserts, do not miss this shop! It's spreading fast in Malaysia, possibly the largest competitor for Snowflakes. If you liked snowflakes, try this, maybe your favorite dessert shop will change. At least give it a try, it ranked No.1 in Taiwan for its originality and taste (or so they said).

For more information you can surf on their website, they have full coverage and picture on their menu there.

It's an international restaurant concept bringing you the 'manhattan' feel and plenty of their service are based on fish and sea. My very first experience with this restaurant was at Sogo when i was only a primary school kid. And then i am in love with their fish- fresh and crispy- utterly satisfying.

Tao Japanese Buffet Cuisine

People craving for food.

For me, i crave for MORE food. 

And food as in 'buffet' makes me feel utterly excited. 

Let me introduce you, the EAT-ALL-YOU-CAN restaurant again,

TAO CUISINE.

It's a japanese style buffet featuring mainly japanese food, also some chinese foods. 

It's quite infamous in Klang Valley and sometimes it will be compared with Jogoya or Tenji. 

Comparing to the 2 well-known buffet place (Jogoya & Tenji); Tao offers most importantly, LOWER PRICE.

One adult may cost up to more than RM70 if you were to visit J&T, but for Tao, you just need around RM50 (for lunch session)

Even though maybe that some of the food maybe absent comparing to J&T, but Tao has its signature dishes- that you cannot miss- that other restaurant can't fight. That is why it is so popular.

It provides 2 way of getting foods there, one is to take foods from counter (and also barbecue counter), one is from the menu. The menu offer great deals of foods- from deep fried to grill- from grill to steam.

Tao Menu

Sushi Bar/ BBQ section

And without hesitation, let me introduce you the tastiest food inside this little space in Sunway Giza.
They have their TOP 10 food from the menu, i cannot remember it, but here are some foods that worth you for trying.

Lamb Teriyaki. This is a MUST ORDER. taste very nice!

Salmon Teriyaki- satisfying dish!

Scallop with cheese- another MUST!

 Sushi that you can take from sushi bar- DO NOT take so much- you've got lots of foods waiting for you.

And here are some other food that worth trying out (just try it, you get to order unlimited food, what's the worry!?)

[From their BBQ section], order:

BBQ chicken (EXTREMELY JUICY)

[From the menu], order:

most lamb dishes, most fried dishes ( especially tempuras, you just wont regret- how bad will it taste?)

And here are some notes for you:

DO NOT worry about the portion you may get- the food you order will be served in just a small portion- so you doesnt have to worry about eating too much of the same dish. how nice!

And TAO really have a good image for customers- of their service- their service is friendly- though there are some foreigner staff which you may just excuse them and find for another staff instead in case you cannot understand their language, HAHA!
