Happy Tummy: June 2011

Yippe Club

With the weather being super hot now a days, nothing beats a nice cold refreshing drink. A drink that both children, adults and grandparents will enjoy : Bubble tea. A little history about bubble tea (also known as pearl tea) was made famous by the Taiwanese folk dated way back to the 1980s - Wikipedia.  From its name "bubble tea", the original flavor is in fact anything that is tea based that have now evolves in other flavors like coffee and fruits as well as chocolates. We can't be the only one that evolves rite? Hehehe.



What makes everyone going crazy over bubble tea (besides the wide range of the flavors) is the black chewy balls that comes in it. Those chewy little buggers are actually tapioca or even sweet potato and they are addictive too.


You will go nuts just thinking of the flavors that they have in the menu. Once a flavor is chosen, they then prepare them and sealed it up in a cup. A huge straw is in order to enjoy the bubble tea so that you are able to enjoy the chewy balls with the juices or drinks. Ahhhhh the perfect drink and inexpensive one at that, in order for you to quench your thirst and that sudden craving for something chewy.

San Francisco Steak house

We decided to go to this restaurant due to its promotion on Milkadeal. We were instantly sold when we saw that the main course was between lamb rack, ribeye steak and ribs. We couldn't wait to find a date to have it. The outlet that we chose to have it was the nearest to us, Tropicana City Mall. So which the deal was you get their soup of the day, chose one between the 4 main courses, a pick between the 2 desserts and a soft drink. 

Baguette with garlic butter,complimentary


Sup of the day Rm9.90

Even though the service ain't that great maybe due to the fact that we paid less than other, they still serve us with breads. The soup of the day which was Corn soup followed soon with our free flow of soft drinks. The three of us decided to divide and conquer the menu and had the 3 meaty-est main course so we could taste each one.

bbq apple ribs Rm49.90

The first was the half portion of the BBQ Apple ribs. We weren't too sure which of it had the apple, but we suspected it could be the dipping sauce. The sides for this dish came with coleslaw and fries. The coleslaw was ok but the fries was as good as the ones in McDonalds!

Grilled rib eye steak Rm52.90

The Rib eye steak looks very bare with just steamed veges. As we all know, looks can be deceiving and in this situation  it is very! The meat was nice and tender was cooked medium well. It was juicy enough that you can dip the fries or even use it as gravy with the veges. Downfall would be that it wasn't big of a portion as we that it was going to be. 

Rack of lamb Rm47.90

The last main course that we picked out was the Lamb Rack. The 4 piece lamb came with steam veges and potatoes on the side. The perfect amount of everything except the dipping sauce wasn't enough to go around with the meat. But on the other hand, the lamb was good enough on its own.

Coit icecream tower Rm14.90

As mentioned earlier, you are able to choose between the dessert shown above or a scoop of Haagen Daz ice cream. If you were stuffed, then the way to go was the Haagen Daz. If not, their Coit Tower Cookie Sundae. The dessert is basically a huge cookies piled with probably 5 to 6 scoops of vanilla ice cream. That is not all, they then drizzle the whole thing with chocolate sauce and finish it off with strawberries. The perfect ending to a delicious meaty dinner.

Muse Italian Restaurant and Cocktail Bar

Written by Mrs Tummy

Lunch hour is always a tough one especially when you need to plan ahead where to eat. So what I usually do is start asking who wants to go for lunch and start thinking of places to go an hour before. The best place to go is usually Jaya One, since they have a variety of restaurants as well as Starbucks. We all wanted to eat at a new place but in the end we choose to eat here at Muse. What we all ended up picking is the lunch special. The lunch special consists of the soup of the day, a main course and soft drink. Total is RM 15 (before the 16% tax). 

Soup of the Day: Pumpkin

First up was the soup of the day which is pumpkin soup. Knowing me, I would passed up such healthy food but the smell lured me in with the cheese. Lucky me that it tasted as though it was a potato and cheese soup.  The bowl was HUGE and some how it resembles an egg. Hehehe. Then came the selection of main courses that we pick so that we are able to taste everything.

Chicken Bolognese

Fetucinni Carbonara

For the main course, they had a selection of Asian as well as Western food. And we all took the Western, of course. Being a bonafide meat eater, I picked the grilled lamb chop. While some took pasta, chicken chop and also fish.

Fish with greens and mashed potato

Due to this heavy lunch, it was a very unproductive Friday at work. Can't wait to come back and try the rest that is on their menu!
