Shan City at Brighton Square

As usual, hubby and i will find a place for breakfast, or brunch or get together, family gathering with myself and our baby. Yeah.. we are busy every day.. Both of us rushing to go to work, while my baby is going to school every day.

So, Sunday morning is usually the time...

Last Sunday Yesterday, we went to Brighton Square again. It was 9:45am, hubby suggested to go to Life Cafe so i said ok. But, it was not opened yet when he arrived. So, i suggested that he should go the Shan City. This is the 2nd shop located at Brighton Square, next to Ipoh Town. I think i have mentioned about this area a few times, here & here.

Here i am.... Let's go in to find daddy.. Yes, Autumn and i arrived later coz we went from home..

I like the design of the menu.. simple, nice & cool colour matching...

Their specialty here is Noodles, hand made noodles.. Also the dessert, hubby knew i love bubu cha cha, so other than the Traditional Pan mee he ordered, he also got me the dessert.

I ordered this 3- layered Pork Rice, because I need to feed Autumn with rice.. dipping the pork into the belacan chili paste is sooo.... yummy!!

Here comes the Traditional Pan Mee... Huh?? Ikan Bilis & Money Chai??

The taste arrr.. not too bad... 

But..... hubby said, "Geli..."

You know why??

Look at THIS!!

Wahahaha.... so thick and such a big piece of it!!

Anyway, this is the traditional style of making the Pan-Mee. I have tried eating this before, but forgot which town in Malaysia... So, i basically can accept this, but i won't order this next time i come here..

Another shot before we left.....

Japanese Food at Kensaku Brighton Square

I am going to Brunei for 5 days, so we thought of eating out to be fast. No need to clear the dishes, or mess up the house again since Kakak just cleaned up the house today. So, i told hubby to select a place, and then we would just meet there coz i went straight from office.

 Brighton Square-night view

Hubby suggested to eat at Brighton Square, so we would just go to those shops that we had not been to. Maybe Life cafe or maybe Shan City. In the end, hubby chose the Japanese Restaurant. So we met there.

 Oh.. it's Kensaku Restaurant.. 

Hubby & Autumn are waiting inside, i told him to go ahead and order first.

 The Front door..

 

 Seated and started to looking at the menu, i totally could not think of a single type of dish that i wanted to eat. In fact, i was filling quite full. Oh yea!! I just remembered i actually had Japanese food for lunch, and it was a big set of Terriyaki Chiken Set, together with the salad, fruits, and Miso Soup.It was at The Food Gallery, Level 3 Tun Jugah as we had meetings during lunch. I was quite hungry, but never thought that huge set of food would last me till 8pm!!

 My baby waiting for the food to be served...

 It's okay, i checked with hubby what did he ordered, and then decided not to order anything...

Our favourite Unagi, but i only ate a bite of it...

Beef Terriyaki set, well, i think the one at The Spring Food Bazaar is much nicer...

Sashimi set for 2 person??? this is RM60 per set, but i think it is not so worth it..

Look!! Only how many pieces of each type?? 

Anyway, no worries as i don't eat Sashimi, this hsare will just be enough for hubby.It's his favourite!

As usual, a lot of Wasabi...

Steamed egg for Autumn...

Ok, that all about my dinner last night!!

Gotto wake Autumn up and get ready to rush to the airport now, mom has been calling several times...

Till then.....

UPDATE: i was not very happy & satisfied that we paid more than RM100 for that little food, which i only ate maybe 4 mouthful...... 

Nice place, good service, but I will not come back to get slaughtered the 2nd time!! not worth it...

Same owner with the Japanese Food at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, at the Boutique Hotel's lobby...

Toast Bar at Brighton Square

What would you do if you suggested to eat at this place and then you get pissed off many times with many reasons???
Well, i just had my really late breakfast with this super bad experience that it would be my very first time there and also will be my last time!! Hubby suggested to have breakfast at Brighton Square, so here we are...

At Brighton Square, there is a newly opened kopitiam next to Ipoh town-Shan City Kopitiam, but too bad it was full house, obviously because it is its first day opening. Next door is The Fresh Cup of Coffee, Life cafe, Toast Bar, and there is a Japanese Restaurant called Kensiyama at the last shop of the row.
I suggested to go into this Toast bar.

Here we are, looking at the menu, i found many of my favourites. I always love toasts, egg tarts or any types of pastry, hubby said i am always those bakery's No.1 Customer.

 
Hubby started to place his order, Nasi Lemak with Fish Fillet... Sorry, not available, so he ordered the Nasi Lemak with chicken Wings and the Thai Style Tauhu. Next, it's my turn to order.
But.....

This is my 1st choice but no more, too many people ordered this that's why no more...

Next... Egg tart.. also no more!!??? WTF!!

The 3rd time... The soft Bun also no more!!??? 

WTF!! Can they just put a "Not Available" or "Sold Out" sticker??? 

Obviously the waiter knew i was mad and so he apologized. I said, just tell me straight what do you have, i don't want to waste my time..

In the end, i ordered this. A sandwich set, with a cup of hot Milo and 2 half-boiled eggs.

Here comes hubby's food...

Nasi Lemak with Chicken Wing, the rice smelt nice with Pandan and coconut milk but was too dry.

Thai Style Fried Tauhu...

Guess what, Tauhu is his favourite but he only ate less than 1/2 piece of the tauhu. 

Errmm..so i tried a bit, the taste is so damn weird!!?? It's not edible at all!!!

This is my Cheese & Ham sandwich...

Salted shredded cucumber in between, errmmm not bad..

Guess what, we finished our meal, and the hot Milo is not even here yet??! then i realized the table next to me was also quite unhappy, they have 2 bowls of noodles but no drinks at all?? They just paid and left, but i am not that type of goody person when it comes to food. 

We customers always have our rights!! I must spend and pay with satisfaction, if not.... i complain.

Here comes the MILO, how long does it take to make a small cup of MILO??? Well, it took me 45 minutes to get it, after we had finished our food and were about to leave!

This shop is called TOAST BAR but more of the toast sold out?? Stock ordering and sales projection is very important, if a customer came here for the first time and his experience was 3 out of 5 items were sold out??? What do you think?

Look at the interior, everything is white, and they have nice flowery wall paper, with very nice lightings and fans, etc... Even, the washroom also looks quite grand..

Hand washing sink @ Toilet @ Wahsroom..

Well, everyone wants to be a BOSS, and operate their own business, but it is not that easy. You can be very cash-loaded and spend a lot of money in the interior design and all those, but, the most important part is the service!! Customers come FIRST!!

I think, the waitresses and waiters there are very polite and friendly. But they need more training in taking orders and doing follow up, at least suggest something that is nice or available that will make the customers happy or come back again? or repeat and confirm the order to ensure accuracy??

The problem is with the whole management, they do not have a proper system to monitor the order and if not how could both my table and the table next to me did not get our drink or mistakenly delivered the food that was not ordered?? Nobody realized that even after 40 minutes until the customers complained? Perhaps they should learn more....

We spent the most unworthy RM19.40 today!! and now i am hungry again....

Breakfast at Tong Lo Wan- Brighton Square

The weather was so fine...

Autumn woke up early as usual, but i did not go to work! So, we decided to bring her somewhere to have breakfast together. Jalan Song? Premier 101? Why not BDC area? All the suggestions were not approved, as these places are all without air-con?! In the end, we headed to Brighton Square- Tong Lo Wan, the main reason is its air-conditioned.

When you see from outside, it looks like very quiet and peaceful. You cannot see through the inside at all.

OMG!! This place was so packed... We were told to wait for a while before we could be seated. There were easily 15 tables with little children or babies, that is the reason why this place is so packed!! I am sure they all came here just because it is air-conditioned!!

Look at this mother, one hand carrying her baby but the other hand was busy eating.

Thid baby is on 41 days old!!! & he is sleeping so soundly in his granny's ;

Look at this little girl enjoying her ice-blended juice, while another granny was busy taking care of the grand-daughter....

We purposely ordered the porridge for Autumn but it was too watery i think, and it was quite hard to pick the stripes of ginger out as well.


Come, daddy feed you this porridge..

Har-Kow is very nice as well, the prawn is fresh and crispy.


I like the Bamboo rolls the most, it's yummy!!

This is the fried carrot cake, but it was too soggy and salty..


We left without finishing the soggy and salty dish...

Just one last shot before we left...
Just a simple thought, nowadays there are too many places to eat. Even in Brighton Square itself, there are so many choices. Everyone has the free will to choose!! Whether more convenient location, or better ambiance, fast and friendly service, more quality and delicious food, but from my observation today parents with little babies will normally go to air-conditioned restaurants. Babies can't stand the heat?? Or the parents?
