Of what we sampled that night, I enjoyed most, firstly, the Grilled Rib Eye with Apple Sauce and Yuzu Dressing. My next favourite was the Scallops, Kale and Garlic Butter.

In general, Saine Daise will currently  stay afloat in the highly competitive F&B market, because it's new, the menu's familiar to most people, beautiful place and beautiful presentation.

Rati Rati: Japanese Roll Cake


Rati Rati is a cute little bakery from Japan specialized in soft roll cake. The chef pastry had won an award in Patisserie division in Japan on 1998, and the place has emerged to five branches there. I was informed that the chef pastry flew all the way here to baked the roll cake himself while training the local chef. The place was opened on April 2012 and located at PIK, so it was not a new thing to me but as someone who is not really a sweet tooth, I never found myself wanted to try this, not even after I heard and read numerous good reviews about it.

Found my self having hard tome on choosing one, I felt like a child in a candy land forced by her mom to only pick one. I ended choosing Ange rouge roll (Strawberry roll cake) with vanilla ice cream 28k, and my friend chose Ange rouge roll (Blueberry roll cake) with vanilla ice cream 28k.



Made from natural ingredients to ensure low calorie and low cholestrol, I inhaled after the first bite. It was so good! The sponge texture, amazingly was so light and soft, filled with generous strawberry cream and jam. It was very much not the same as most of the roll cakes generally, the lightness on the texture was worth a compliment. The vanilla ice cream was okay, melted quite quickly though but it fits well with the crunchy flakes. My friend can't stop raving about her blueberry roll cake as well. I actually like her more than mine as I felt the blueberry aroma was stronger that the strawberry one.

I might not be coming back much often but the place is a definite place to be for people who love desserts. You won't be dissapointed

DAPUR BUNTUT PIK


The oxtail comes in three choices : soup, grilled, or balado. Each of them served with steamed rice, crackers, pickles, potato fritters, lime and chilli sauce, comes in three sizes, small (35k with 1pcs of oxtail), medium (60k with 2pcs of oxtails) and large (75k with 3pcs of oxtails).



The oxtails were superb! Big sizes and very tender as they use quality imported Australian beef, the sauces was really seep in and the samba ballad was very spicy. The fact they were being generous on placing the pickles and chilli jars on the table was a bonus. And I love their condense soup packed with big cuts of tomatoes, carrots and potatoes. It was very enjoyable home dish, something warm and delicious with modest presentation, making me feel like I was eating in my mom's dining room instead of a restaurant.
