There I was, at Midvalley’s Golden Screen Cinema standing around between cinema 10 and 11 wondering what am I doing there. Then it came unto me when I saw the buntings that was surrounding the venue. Ah yes, I was there to watch the Sex and the City Preview Screening.
Here’s the who’s who at the Cocktail party.

Guess where I went for Valentine’s Day Dinner? Where you able to guess? It’s written all over my previous food post!
Anyway, since no one answers me (how could you right? You’re reading my blog, not chatting with me…). The answer’s Ninja Jones @ Northpoint.
Making an early reservation was a good thing as there were practically crowd lining up waiting for their seats at the entrance from 7.30pm onwards… Now, the best bit I overheard from the manager was that, by 8.30pm, those without reservation, they have to be turned away. There just isn’t enough space to accomodate walk in customers for that day. Inside my heart was like, phew, Thank God I made reservations for us.
On to the food that we ate…
Gyu Karubi Sumini-Yaki: Wagyu Beef or Kobe Beef, your choice. The beef do taste different compared to those you get in other places. All those massaging and alcohol DO give the cows better meat! How long it takes for you to cook the beef is also up to you, so you can choose to have some as rare, medium raw or cooked.
Salmon Carpaccio: Raw salmon prepared with some italian touch. To tell you the truth, I don’t really like those salmon that was served at Sushi Kings and all those fast food Sushi restaurants cause I feel that the fish ain’t fresh enough. But This plate of raw fish, I can tell you this, the one plate we ordered isn’t enough for both of us!
Soft Shell Crab Temaki: This California Roll with Soft Shell Crab in it looks good, but I didn’t eat any of it. Didn’t really like Seaweeds.
King Prawn Roll: I’ve commented about this dish before in my previous Ninja Jones post and I will still say it again. It was good! Too bad they didn’t have any Caterpillar Roll that night or we’d have ordered that again.
Volcano Roll: Again, a dish that we can never get bored of, no matter how many times we orders it.
Eringi Ninniku Shoyu Grill: Mushrooms on a grill, best eaten as soon as it arrived as the mushroom will tend to have a tougher bite to it as it starts to dry up from the heat of the stove.
Ti-Ra-Mi-Su: The Tiramisu Cake with a scope of green tea and some fruits in it. A nice dessert to end the night.
So, How was your Valentine’s Dinner? Do come and comment a bit.

Was wondering where to go for Valentine’s Day dinner and David Lai the Magician was nice enough to introduce me to this Japanese Restaurant located at Northpoint, Midvalley.
Check out the food that was served!
King Prawn Roll: The details to the dish was excellent, it’s so beautiful that we dont’ dare to bite into it.
Volcano Roll: Coated with a layer of burnt cheese, it’s quite nice if only I could take cheese.
Caterpillar Roll: This is a cute no. that looks like a overgrown Caterpillar waiting to be eaten.
Toro Salmon: This is Ninja Jone’s Specialty and it cost RM30 just for this small dish.
Shallow Fried Soft Shell Crab: Fried to perfection in my opinion, crunchy to the bite and well portioned for the price.
Will I go back to this restaurant? Definitely! In fact, I’ve made reservations for this Valentine’s Day! I have a strong feeling MissMynx would love this place.

A few weeks back, after so much chatters from friends about Carl’s Jr., I decide to go give it a try and so, over to midvalley to give it a go.
Now, before reaching there, I was telling her how so many people say that the burgers was huge! That even for a person such as myself, will have problem finishing it and the other important aspect is, the price is doubled of what McD’s and Burger Kings are.
As long as the portion served is as everyone claimed it to be. Paying over RM20 for a set is worth it. So, off we went, parked the car (does anyone feel that it’s getting harder and harder to find a parking space in Midvalley?) and head off to the 3rd floor.
When it came to my turn to place the order, I placed the orders for big mac lookalike (with bacon) for and the Double Chicken sandwich set (both of these are supposed to be HUGE! judging from the displays) and after paying for it and waited for it, when it arrived. I had to double confirm with the waiters that the two burgers (see photo above) is what I ordered. Now why would I do that? Cause… the two burgers looked PATHETIC They are so… PUNY for the price I pay
Anyway, after complaining about the pathetic size of the burgers, sat down, gobbled it all up in less than 5 bites and sat there for a good half hour discussing over the pathetic-ness of the burgers. The only consolation is, the fries were better than McD’s (which I’ve not tasted anything good from for all these years except Coca Cola).
Now, I’ve come to this conclusion that not all would agree with me. Carl’s Jr. will eventually run out of business after all that hype dies down for the simple fact that… The Burgers does not justify the price we pay. For a single set meal we order at Carl’s Jr., I could have ordered 2 meal sets + an extra fries at Burger King (which also offered FREE FLOW OF DRINKS). With that same amount of money, I could have brought 8 Ramly Burger Specials and the burger chef would be ever so nice to give us extra tissues to go too!
I’ve read in some blogs that they say the Carl’s Jr.’s burgers are huge! I’d have to say that they have puny mouths, that’s all. Would I go and eat there again? Don’t think so, if I’d want to pay RM20++ for a burger set, I’d have just gone to TGIF and ordered a Jack Daniel’s burger and I get to watch LIVE sports on their TV too!
