3 Meals Of Goodness

The name ‘Eric’ mentioned in Eric Deli Paradise refers to the Hong Kong celebrity Eric Tsang, famous for his popular SuperTrio game show … if you really must know. Eric Tsang does not own Eric Deli Paradise but rather, using his image to promote the restaurant by pasting his posters all over this red and white themed restaurant and basically, it does the marketing gimmick job quite well. Well … at least to me, it does….

Eric Deli Paradise is located on the ground floor of Hartamas Shopping Centre covering a huge chunk of the right wing … from unit G11B – G15 to be exact, right next to the entrance of the parking lot. Just check out the map provided above. The place is huge therefore not a problem to find a table. I guess the restaurant could easily fit 350 people or so … with private function rooms too.

Anyway, since I was there to try out the ‘tim sum’ … I didn’t had the chance to review their popular Sze Chuan dishes (noted in my next to do list). The ordering style is exactly like what you get in some other popular Hong Kong based restaurants and cafe .. a paper menu with pencil for you to start ticking away. Call me old-fashioned but I still don’t feel comfortable ordering stuffs that I can’t visualize. Not having much of a choice, I made some choices and ’submitted’ my orders to the ever-smiling service personnels dressed in all-red.

A glance-through on the dining customers … next to our table, a couple – rather rich looking (using expensive sunglasses as hair bands) with a screaming baby, sigh! Looking the other way, an old couple … quietly enjoying their lunch ..probably felt irritated at my staring .. also rich looking. Seriously, I should review my observations. I am probably biased … everyone looks rich here! Then again, it’s just because I am in Hartamas area.

ANYWAY … this is what I’ve ordered …. with a couple of other stuffs and the total bill for 2 person came up to about RM64.00. Quite a hefty amount … I would say. Painful to my deep pockets. Wished this was a sponsored review ….

KA-SOH (sister-in-law in Cantonese) owes its name to the belief that this person in the Chinese patriarchy is usually filled by someone quite dedicated, diligent and hardworking.

Ka-Soh Seafood Restaurant is situated in a car park opposite the Ritz Carlton entrance and behind The Westin. Ka Soh sounds so ordinary but rumor has it that there has been loads of Chinese celebrities from abroad and local who’ve sat and ate here. Proof comes in the form of celebrity photographs on their notice board as a testament to their visit.

Ka-Soh is famous for their Fishhead Noodles, Kah-Soh curry fish head and the special Prawn Paste Fried Chicken.

Other specialities are :

Ka-Soh sang yee (toman) fish head and fillet noodles
Kah-Soh steamed song yee (silver carp) head with black bean sauce
Kah-Soh braised sang yee (toman) head with black bean sauce
Kah-Soh deep fried red tilapia with special Thai sauce
Deep fried pork intestines
Pan fried braised pork belly
Kah-Soh stir fried bean sprouts with intestines

I was heading to the famous chicken rice shop along Jalan Maharajalela when I noticed this dark, candle-lit restaurant. I got curious and peeped through the curtained window … and saw this most romantic view. Tried looking for the signboard but alas, non found. I walked around to the front entrance and there it was, a small sign that says Café Café. I thought to myself…. I must come back and try it out. And guess what .. here I am …. a week later…

From the moment I entered the cafe, my first impression was ….. WOW! ( Well, I really can’t express how I felt at that moment. you really need to visit this place to experience what I meant !). For the benefit of doubt, I’ll attempt to describe a little here ….

Dim-lit restaurant … the first thing I noticed were bits of crystal thingy dangling from the ceiling … lot’s of them .. like twinkling, shining stars ….. And hanging across the wall .. a huge drape curtain … you know … the huge Victorian type… A quick glance around and you’ll see some well-set dining tables … every single one candle-lit. The candle lights reflecting off the wine glasses and the silverwares placed on the dining tables somehow created a very romantic ambiance. Surrounding the dining area are old cottage-styled cabinets .. well-stocked with canned food, wines …. giving the impressions of cozy cottages in old times.

Since I was so awed by the restaurant setups and surroundings .. I completely forgotten about the food. I remembered eating some, took some photos … but I could not remember the name of them. One thing I did remember though … well, 2 things actually … One is … the food is good … really good, so it’s not just a pretty restaurant … The second thing is .. if you love your French food … make sure you don’t miss the Foie Gras. It’s the best here. Anyway .. here are some visuals for you.

Located on a busy cross-junction, Café Café is a slice of Paris in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Far from the madding crowd that is Bukit Bintang, yet close enough to feel the pulse of the Golden Triangle, is a quaint restaurant at a corner of what used to be the Edinburgh Roundabout. Opposite of National Staduim and near to the traffic lights at the Dewan Bahasa intersection, you can’t miss the 19th century Parisian-styled cafe that stands out in a row of nondescript shops. Parking is convenient and available around the place.

Food/Cuisine

Fench / Italian. Favourites are traditional foie gras (goose liver), which is the signature dish. Speciality also includes succulent French duck breast, Italian food such as pasta and risotto cooked with dried porcini mushroom. Entrees like mussels in white wine,escargots, scallops with black truffles … are not to be missed. Lovers of desert will appreciate the range of homemade classic French and Italian foods such as French dark chocolate or banana mousse, Crème brulee – a classic French favourite. Tiramisu comes highly recommended with creamy Italian mascarpone cheese and a touch of strong French brandy.

Ambience/Features : Lavish interior. Quintessentially Parisian – echoes of the combination of Le Quartier du Marais, Montmartre together with a touch of Moulin Rough.

In plain English …. VERY ROMANTIC …
