In conjunction with St Patrick’s Day, Sid’s Pub had the few of us over to their 4th branch outlet at Damansara Heights for a food review session, all thanks to G2, GAB, and of course Sid’s Pub..
Just a small group of Wilson, Peter, Daphne, and I, we were greeted by Frank, one of the person in-charge of Sid’s Pub..I’ve got to know Frank at the Bangsar South branch and he’s known to be pretty friendly and warm to his customers..
The new Sid’s Pub has been in operation since August 2010 and it’s around HERE in the Google Maps..
Without further ado, each one of us was served with a pint of Guinness to toast for St Patrick’s Day..
On a side note, Frank told us that GAB has notified them that Sid’s Pub is the highest selling restaurant/pub/bar for Guinness (on the tap) last year..
As you can see, the set up of the pub is pretty much the same like other Sid’s Pub outlets..The only difference is the arrangement of the tables and seats..
Let’s cut the crap and make way for the food, shall we?
*Blue Cheese Mushroom*
Our starter would be Blue Cheese Mushroom..
First time trying the blue cheese, I love it..I know it has lots of types and some people didn’t like the smell of blue cheese, the one served here is pretty good, IMHO..
The toast goes pretty well with the blue cheese..Dip the bread in the blue cheese with a bit of mushroom, it makes my tummy growling for a starter..
Nice cheesy Blue Cheese Mushroom at just RM14..

I know this is like one month ago but what the heck, here it is..
On 23rd December 2010 was Daphne‘s 23rd birthday so all I did was planned a somewhat all-day event for her, late lunch cum hi-tea and a dinner..
Start off with hi-tea, I brought her to Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie at Jalan Delima, Off Imbi, which is just beside 798 Sports & Wine Bar..
It’s just somewhere behind Indonesian Embassy..Check out the place on Google Maps, click HERE..
Thought of bringing her for breakfast or lunch but I’ve heard of how packed it is so I thought late lunch would be a better idea..
*Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie*
From the outside you could see the French-influenced building looking elegant and posh in the middle of the busy city, between the very busy Jalan Tun Razak and Golden Triangle of Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Imbi..
*Front door*
Once you enter the door, it’s a whole new world in there, French-world..People queuing up for their food and making orders of drinks off the menu on the wall..
Levain offers premium breads, pastries, cakes and confectioneries, usually served in world-class hotels, at competitive prices that appeals both to locals and foreigners living in or visiting Malaysia..
The breads and pastries are all placed nicely waiting for customers to select their choices..

Yesterday, 19th December 2010, I was at Sid’s Pub in Bukit Tunku for their Merry Guinness Carnival..
Got an invitation from GAB and thanks to G2 for informing me that I can bring few friends together with me..
The carnival started at 11am and ends at 6pm with some live band and magic show performances..But due to some business I was late and the performances were finished when I arrived Sid’s Pub at 3pm..
The Merry Guinness Carnival held at Sid’s Pub, Bukit Tunku is done ala high school Canteen Day where you purchase stacks of coupons and use them to buy food and drinks..
Some of the patrons even brought a picnic mat and just do as they pleased under the chilling moody weather..Everyone was there on a mutual interest, Guinness fest..
For a Guinness event, it will only be complete with Guinness, on the tap..Other than that, Strongbow is available too..
Since it’s a Guinness event, it’s sold for RM5 and Rm15 for other drinks..
Most of the food were marinated and/or cooked with Guinness, namely fried chicken, chicken hot dog, turkey kebab, and the delicious beef burger..
*Beef burger*
The Beef Burger was quite a delight..Without sauce it’s slightly dry so I’ve added a bit of chilli sauce and mustard for better taste..
The patty is kinda dry on the outside but it’s quite juicy on the inside, just the right amount of moist..The buns are quite fragrant that I can just eat it even without the patty..

When you are lazy to cook and getting hungry at any time of the day, instant cup noodles are the best!
*Super Tom Yam Cup Noodle*
Not only at home, you can also bring it for your 1-night trip to anywhere..
Instant cup noodles was a favorite back in pre-U times when we are staying for a night up in Genting..Things weren’t cheap, what’s more for a student!
Not to mention finding food at late night in Genting can be quite a headache if you are not familiar with the hidden eateries..
It saves time..Just boil sufficient amount of water, pour it in with the seasoning powder, wait for about 2 minutes, and you are ready to eat..

Ah Kiew Tom Yam Noodle, a household name among Serdang and Seri Kembangan residents for its famous fish paste noodle and also tom yam noodle..
It used to be in Seri Kembangan setting up stall/restaurant in a house, a common practice in Seri Kembangan, has moved to Taman Bukit Serdang with a much spacious shoplot..
*Ah Kiew Tom Yam Noodle*
The shop is at Taman Bukit Serdang and if according to Google Maps, it’s at Pusat Perdagangan Seri Kembangan, where I’ve marked it HERE..
If you are coming from Equine Park, turn left at the traffic light, down the slope and turn right at the first junction and then right again..If you are coming from Seri Kembangan, turn right at the traffic light and then follow suit..
The shop is facing the main road, right in front of a mini temple of sort..
*Late lunch*
Went there for a late lunch with Daphne and we were glad because it was pretty empty..As a matter of fact, Daphne brought me there..
As you can see from the photo, there are pictures of their menu hanging on the wall..
They have Fish Paste Milk Noodle, Fish Head Bee Hoon, Fish Paste Tom Yam Noodle, Seafood Tom Yam Noodle, Pork Noodle, and Nasi Lemak..
Daphne said they are famous for its fish paste and the burning sensation of tom yam..
She can’t really eat hot and spicy food so she had the normal Fish Paste Noodle while I want to give the tom yam a hot-and-spicy-o-meter a test..
*Fish Paste & Milk Noodle*
The milky soup is very fragrant and it’s just right for my liking, not too watery nor too thick..
*Fish Paste Tom Yam Noodle*
I can tell you that this Fish Paste Tom Yam Noodle is really that red and it’s not the fault of my BB Torch’s white balance..
I ordered big and it was quite big bowl, with lots of bee hoon in it, no joke!
The tom yam is really fragrant and not too sour, just right for my taste bud..When I say it’s not too sour means it’s not too sour because I’m sensitive towards sourness..
The level of spiciness, don’t order this if you are very hungry because I had a hard time finishing my tom yam at that time..
I was very hungry and the spiciness and sourness hit right at my stomach..I had to wait Daphne finished her noodle for me to use her soup to filter the tom yam on every spoon of my bee hoon..
*Daphne and yours truly*
Now I swear to God that I will never eat that tom yam when I’m goddamn hungry..Normal fish paste noodle is just fine..
The prices are pretty reasonable, like any fish head noodle you have in other place..
Fish Paste Milk Noodle is RM6.00 and my Fish Paste Tom Yam Noodle is RM6.00 for small..So I guess it’s around RM6.50-RM7.00 for a big..
Business hour is from 10am-5pm or while ingredients last..They are closed on Mondays..
If you are nearby and don’t know what to eat, I would totally recommend this and you can opt for Nasi Lemak or Pork Noodle if you don’t want Fish Paste Noodle
