As Suanie Sees It

My first time at the new Finnegan’s at Midvalley. As Paul said, should have been my third. Hehehe sowee.

Not cheap leh the beer. But what to expect, Irish pub in Malaysia what.

That fella on top right is Aaron, Paul’s funny colleague.

Then Paul and I went to have dinner at Chili’s. The beer in the collage above was actually Finnegan’s, but I don’t have more photos of Chili’s so it’s a filler, just like this post.

IMNSHO, Chili’s serve one of the better steaks I’ve eaten. Best taken medium.

And I think the Finnegan’s beer mats are so cool.

TGIF at Seksyen 14 has great customer service. The floor manager albeit a bit Chef Wan-like, was friendly and helpful. A far cry from the manager at Bangsar’s Chili’s. The customer may not be always right, but as a manager you could do much much better instead of indignantly insisting that Chili’s policies have always been such and every other Chili’s branch in KL/PJ is wrong.

Clockwise: Chicken wings in garlic and chilli lemon-ish sauce, Jack Daniels chicken, chocolate fudge cake, ultimate long island.

We are not unreasonable people. But if it is true that Chili’s policy is that a vodka orange and a screwdriver are different entities, then I have to say that they definitely know a lot more than the rest of us minions.

Clockwise: Carol the joker, Fireangel the joker, Carol and Fireangel the jokers, KY the joker.

I still have the bill to remind me of the most ridiculously hilarious incident that happened to me this year (not in a good way), maybe I should frame it.

I was feeling kind of down, what with the haze and some recent personal events that I decided I should have something nice to eat today. Jaime asked me to join her in KL but I wasn’t feeling up to painting the town red, so I grabbed KY and Carol and we had dinner at Jack’s Place in 1U.

It’s all Jaime’s fault - she introduced it to me and now I’m hooked! But you know the thing about Starbucks coffee is that it makes your pee smell of coffee as well. It’s not like seriously unpleasant, it just smells of coffee. Not like I intentionally go smell my pee, but I can’t help it lah since I’m in the same toilet, aren’t I? And I don’t get this smell with any other coffee, just Starbucks coffee. Weird, right?

Ermm.. since this is about food, I will try not to gross you out. But think about it and if you have similar experiences, let me know!

Anyway our food arrived…

Button mushrooms stuffed with lobster and crab meat, covered in a light layer of cheese, all baked together-gether (RM18). Yummy!

The garlic bread on the side came with our soup. Definitely one of the better garlic breads I’ve had - a generous mix of butter and garlic, just nice. I had soup of the day (RM5) which was leek and potato, quite nice though the leek wasn’t very noticable. KY and Carol had cream of shitake mushroom soup or something like that; B-O-R-I-N-G! But not bad.

But you can see that Carol and KY were very excited like small kids like that. Sometimes you just can’t bring them out anywhere…. *sigh*

KY and I had the filet mignon (RM38.90 or something like that), it’s a reasonable sized slab of meat with a piece of beef bacon, a fat baked potato and some vege - one broccoli stem, 5 carrot slices and a couple slices of onion.

Both of us had it medium rare. Tender and juicy!

Carol had the Jack’s special steak, medium. No photos ‘coz it looked rather the same, just less bloody.

Of course I ate EVERYTHING!

Nothing better than food therapy.

H2G2 fans would appreciate this little scene we made up in honour of ‘The Restaurant at the End of the Universe’.

Spot the cow!

So if you were at 1u on Friday and you passed by these three people posing in front of the Jack’s Place signboard, no we are not n00bs from outer space. We aren’t suaku either.
