CARROT JUICE RM10

Cold pressed with no sugar added. 

BERRIES SMOOTHIES RM10

Berries goodness blended with fresh milk and yogurt.

CHEF SALADS RM19 

Garden salad top with tuna flakes and hard boiled egg.

With balsamic vinegar added, it's truly appetizing. The tuna flakes is pretty moist too.

Wild Mushroom Soup and Green Asparagus Soup.

WILD MUSHROOM SOUP RM15 

Made from scratch, mushroom scented with truffle oil is a good starter. 

With truffle oil added, the soup really outshine the usual mushroom soup I've tasted.

GREEN ASPARAGUS (PERU) RM15 

Grilled fresh Peru green asparagus in cream. 

The colour of soup is all natural and not the usual very green type. Slight creamy and taste wonderfully luxurious.

SEAFOOD MARINARA RM25 

Sauteed shrimps, fish, squid and pronto sauce.

Al dente spaghetti with generous sauce and fresh seafoods.

CARBONARA RM22

Beef bacon, cream sauce, parmesan and shitake mushroom. 

This is seriously good! Every spoonful is such a treat yet can't help thinking of the calories-laden. Hehehe...

AGLIO OLIO RM13

Optional add on : 

PRAWNS RM10

SCALLOP RM10

Spaghetti sauteed with garlic and chilli flakes, topped with rocket (Aragula) and parsley. Add on Hokkaido scallop and grilled prawns for a fulfilling meal.

GARLIC BREAD RM9 

So aromatic, so crispy, definitely the bomb here.

THYME’S FISH BURGER 

Grilled thick fish patties mixture of Mackerel, Salmon and Tuna. Served with melted cheddar cheese on top.

I find the patty tasty but a little bit dry for my liking though.

 

Thanks to Chef Kenny special preparation, we get to sample this Jumbo King Prawn.

JUMBO KING PRAWN (seasonal price)

Available upon advance booking.

You can opt for cheese-baked or oven-baked with herbs. 

The King prawn is so fresh and tasty. My preference will be cheese-baked.

Special setting for special occasion available upon request.

Father's Day, 5 course set meal available from RM110/pax.

CREME BRULEE RM15 

Served with gooseberries stew and chocolate ice cream.

Decent serving of sweet indulgence.

VALRHONA CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE RM15 

Served with berries stew, gooseberries (physallis) and vanilla ice cream 

Not too sweet, crusty on the outside, soft inside with warm, gooey chocolate in the centre.

What a lovely setting. Wish there's real wine in my glass though. Ohh... You could bring your own alcohol for a small corkage fees of RM30 only. Catering services available too.

My verdict : Delicious foods in a cosy restaurant. Must try Mushroom soup, Garlic Bread, Carbonara and Chocolate Lava Cake.

Miss Hana Waterproof Eyeliner Gel Pen are waterproof, oil proof, rich pigmented.

I don't experience smudging and it's very lasting.

Colour swatches and water proof test.

Close-up view.

Sharpen after few times of usage and the eyeliner break off in the sharpener. Felt so wasted and it cause me a hard time cleaning up the mess too.

My simple makeup wearing BB cream, Benefit Eyebrow, Miss Hana Eyeliner Gel Pen and Miss Hana Lip Balm Crayon.

My verdict :

Pro : 

Eyeliner - High pigmented and waterproof & smudge free.

Lip Crayon - Love the shade and lips feel moisturised.

Con : 

Eyeliner - Need more skills to apply comparing to liquid form. I hate that it does not come in a twist-up kind of pen as sharpening is really messy to clean up.

Lip Crayon - Wears off easily and need sharpen regularly.

Kanbe Ramen @ Empire Damansara, Petaling Jaya (Non halal)

Konnichiwa.... For the month of May 2015, Kanbe Ramen Restaurant at Empire Damansara is having Double Gyoza set promotion. Be sure to check it out, as for only RM20.00 per set, you'll get a plate of 10 pieces of gyoza, a bowl of Japanese rice and a bowl of soup  (spicy/non-spicy). 

I find the gyoza rather overwhelming with greens though.

We also tried their Signature ramen. Noodles are made fresh daily here, using the finest flour. The signature soup made of vegetable and chicken-broth based soup are simmered for 7 hours to fully draw out its flavours, resulting in a full-bodied soup.

Entice your taste buds with their custom made soy sauce which will bring out the best of the ramen. The soy sauce are blended from several types of Japan's finest soy sauces combined with high-quality kombu kelp from Hokkaido to create one-of-a kind sauce.

Reimen/Cold Ramen RM21.00

Ramen noodles with light & cold sauce 

Surprisingly, I enjoyed this version of ramen most. 

Never fancy cold dishes, but this plate of ramen certainly prove me wrong. With vinegar added, it's appetizing and I love the ramen texture.  Springy and not too hard or soft! The Karashi paste is way too pungent though.

Charsiu Ramen RM21

Generous charsiu make this one of must order. Clear soup would be taste even better if the flavour enhanced. 

Spicy Ramen RM21.00

Spicy soup with minced chicken & pork + garlic & chives. It's mild spicy with generous minced meats.

Tenshin-Han Rice RM15.00

Signature item, steamed rice with fried egg.

Perfectly done eggs with white rice and lots of gravy. IMO, it will be better if more ingredients are added. I find this rather plain.

Fried Rice RM12.00

This may seem like your ordinary fried rice, but no! Fried short grain rice with eggs, char siu, garlic & spring onions are so full of "wok hei" In fact, I find almost every plate of dishes served are pipping hot for quite a while. Must be the hot flame from the kitchen. I don't usually eat fried rice, but this plate of fried rice got me went for another helping.

  

Pork rice RM17

Pork belly pan seared with onions and garlics.

All goodness in a plate, best choice if you're in a hurry. Short grain rice drenched in tasty gravy. If you love your rice, you'll most probably love this! 

Karaage RM10

Crispy fried boneless chicken marinated with special house blend sauce and spices.

So crispy yet so moist & juicy....

Delicious!

Otsumami Charsiu RM10.00

Shoulderloin of pork served with boiled bean sprouts & spring onions

Charsiu here are less fatty, so you could indulge without guilt. 

Wantan Soup RM15.00

Filling rather tiny.

Boiled eggs RM3.00/egg

Lemon Tea RM5

Black tea lemon juice with optional sugar syrup. Refreshing combination.

Hot Green Tea RM3

I love the green tea here as its light with mild sweet taste.

My verdict : Ironically, we enjoyed the rice more than ramen here. Short grain rice taste superb here, must try Pork Rice and Fried rice. Cold ramen and spicy ramen is good too! Another must order will be Karaage.
