Elite YouMiQi Unforgettable Dining Moments

Sebrinah Yeo September 28, 2022 0

Here's a story of Elite YouMiQi, they are a Shunde Authentic Cuisine that brings "Cantonese" delicacies all the way from Shunde in China. And here you will get the enjoy the freshness and goodness of this cuisine. The most important is the way it is being presented and the variety of opens on menu they have to offer is truly magnificient!

If you ever embraced yourself with the premium Chinese outlets around the hearts of Kuala Lumpur and found yourself in a limbo wondering where to visit for a nice authentic cuisine that suits the entire family (especially if you're Asian). Then I will suggest you to check out Elite YouMiQi at Jalan Imbi. It is a venue that one will not miss especially turning in from the main roads of Jalan Imbi. Even if you are a tourist on the way to the chocolate factory or durian outlet nearby, you will spot Elite YouMiQi just around the corner of the junction on your way through the one way road here.

Parking is limited inside but outside there are space, at the other end corner is actually shoplots with parking lots as well that you can park and just cross the road. They have jockey parking here that charges a "pay whatever you like" they take care of your car for you ensuring that is it safe and parked safely too. The entrance of this building is truly a sight to behold.

We were greeted with warmth and friendliness by the staff. There was also a welcome board to welcome us to the food experience today. My husband and friends was surprised at the gestures and we were truly delighted to be there. Upon entering the venue, the reception area is really unique and elegant. Did I mention how spacious it is here? They have a variety of rooms that comes with different layouts and settings for different occasions. All rooms are named after a Main Capital in a certain country and each have their own min spending rate to adhere to.

Upon entering our room, the layout on the table was truly neat and just very specialized. We had our Fresh and Chilled Coconut water with our names and Elite YouMiQi engraved on the coconut shell waiting for us at our table. You can actually request for such services when you make your reservations with Elite YouMiQi (must pre-book in advance).

You can also book at the main dining area for the casual dining over lunch or dinner with your family or with friends etc. The seafood here is exceptionally fresh and you see them live overlooking the main dinging hall. This place is perfect for any occasion, events and functions. Especially seasonal like Chinese New Year etc is the best place to be! Better start your reservations now, I heard it's already fully booked soon! The karaoke system was also truly amazing, the sound was really good.

Let's jump right into the splendid meals of Shunde Cuisine by Elite YouMiQi!

For what you see in this image above and my verdict and experience below.

Baked Ribs with Garlic & Cheese (8/10)

The ribs meat is a little tough as most ribs are, this isn't the soft tender ones ya. But the combination of Garlic & Cheese made this pretty fusion.

BBQ Stingray Fins (10/10)

If you love dried sotong then you must try this! It's quite crispy at the start, not for the elderly or little kids who can't bite properly.

Pickled Cucumber (110/10)

This really opens your tastebuds and your appetite for sure!

Stir Fried Celtuce with Garlic (11/10)

I love iiittt!!!

For what you see in this image above and my verdict and experience below.

Duo Japan Oyster : Steam with Chilli & Vermicelli | Cheese Baked (10/10)

No need go Japan for fresh oysters, can come here to preorder this. Served freshed and best eaten fresh! Love this so much and I don't even like oysters because I was afraid it will be slimy or have fishy stench but this is a whole other level of gastronomic experience you MUST TRY!

For what you see in this image above and my verdict and experience below.

Shunde Handmade Scallion Pancake (10/10)

I am guilty of this, I looked down on this dish when it arrived. I thought it was "just some" bread. HELLOOOOO nooooo! Every bite is appetizing to its name! Every bite makes you wanna grab another piece! Kids and adults, basically everyone who orders this dish will love it hands down!

For what you see in this image above and my verdict and experience below.

Shunde Signature Seafood Pot (11/10)

This exceeded expectations, it was fresh and the seafood was served accordingly, it was huge that can serve a whole 'kampung' and the soup is also carefully brewed and it compliments the entire ingredients in the pot so well that it brings out the unique authentic flavours of each food item that you can find in this pot! This is so perfect for family gatherings and special round table celebration occasions. Looks good on your image too (tee-hee).

For what you see in this image above and my verdict and experience below.

Shunde Signature Seafood Pot (11/10)

You can also see my son in the below photo looking in 'awe' when they pour the piping hot soup over the seafood. Just look at the size of that huge fresh 'Tiger Prawn' that can cover my face already.

Steam White Fragrant Rice (10/10)

Yes, yes I know you will ask, why white rice also wanna review meh... Of course la! It's food too and it's worth mentioning because incase for big eaters or especially Asian eaters, they love their white rice okayyy. The white rice here is really fragrant and the heat if just nice when served, like fresh cooked for you. Please eat when served hot, don't wait until cold cold then eat, don't after you say I cheat you, haiyaaa... Eat it when the food is hot/warm. (Put the phones down!)

For what you see in this image above and my verdict and experience below.

Signature Sweet Sour Pork with Fresh Fruits on ICE (11/10)

This is not your ordinary sweet sour pork. It is an upgraded version and it will exceed your expectations and will not disappoint! The meat is juicy, fresh, soft yet crunchy at the same time! The sauce blend is just perfect combination and the ice is just there as a decor, and in Malaysia where our weather is sunny and rain all year. Please faster scoop the meat up when it is served, don't leave it too long with the ice around because ice will melt. But ice is needed to make your sweet and sour pork extra crispier and crunchier! This takes high-level technique to cook this beauty up!

Shunde Pan Baked Style Free Range Chicken (9/10)

I got cheated! I thought this was pork! But it was free range chicken, the meat was tender yet not too tough and not too tender also. It was just right and it was a combination of bursting flavours in your tastebuds that you just keep wondering what dish is this! This is a mysterious dish that tastes exceptionally good and worth the try!

Shunde Handmade Prawn Paste Cake (10/10)

This is another dish that I swear it is a must have. I heard the chef specially beat the prawn up into a paste before adding a big fat juicy scallop in the center while making it. The entire texture goes doink doink chewy chewy in your mouth like how your skin should bounce. And the fragrance is amazing, you can taste and smell the fragrant prawn. You will know this is handmade and not from the factory guys!

Teow Chew Handmade Yam Paste (9.5/10)

Mango? Nangka? Pumpkin? Almost, it's YAM! I swear this is a first for me. Pumplin layered as the decor with the yam paste freshly beaten into this delicacy as a dessert to stop your sweet tooth craving because this is just natural on its own! I like how they try to ensure no added flavourings or seasonings and purely combining ingredients to bring out the best in each flavour together. My son finished it!

For what you see in this image above and my verdict and experience below.

Shunde Stewed Tendon in Herbs (7/10)

I very give face already! Firstly I don't like herbal dishes and secondly I usually won't even bother trying. But for this, I will give it a go because I trust their quality based on all the good experience I've been having so far. And I was right! This dish is flavorful power-packed with Oommphh! I took a sip and I knew, yup I still don't like herbs but this is really potent for herbs lover. My mom will love this alot! A very nourishing and nutritious bowl full of health. The tendon was abit chewy like sotong but it's not sotong. Worth the try for non-herbs lover like me and definitely an awesome choice for herbs lover.

Shunde Roasted Free Range Chicken (9.5/10)

Chicken looks sad but I like chicken in hopes chicken don't look sad... But this chicken freshly sliced infront of us especially when you watch the chicken sweating its juice extract at each slicing activity is truly appetizing! I swear I ate alot of this, I wouldn't mind packing it to go if there were extras, but there weren't.

Hong Kong Brother Fried Rice "HK Da Cha Fan" (9/10)

Please by all means, order this and ask the waiter how this is best served. We made a mistake and didn't ask and being typical asians that likes to share share, we didn't mix it all up before taking a portion each for ourselves! This dish is unique to its name, you have to mix everything up and then it is ready to be eaten/served. Because this dish is made with no added preservatives or no MSG! They use real ingredients for its flavoring and seasoning. So the meat, the bean, the veggie and everything done during marinating etc, was all prepped in advance and stacked over each other to be mixed and served. And I beliecve this will taste superb because when I took it, I had too much of the salty bean in it so it became salty for me. But if u mix it all up, that's where this dish will find its perfect balance! So this is MUST ORDER and MUST MIX only ENJOY. Remember ya.

For what you see in this image above and my verdict and experience below.

YouMiQI Dessert Platter (7/10)

Everything here can be eaten except the plant. The steamed fresh ginger with milk was milk to taste, the deep fried milk was something new and interesting, the kids love it. The handmade durian musang king ice cream takes the trophy! That one was hot off the shelves. The Mochi was also one of my favourite. So there is a savoury of 4 ways to indulge the texture here if you notice; chewy, crunchy, creamy smooth and watery. Enjoy! ((My rating is because I don't like milk personally, but I also did try this and find it not overwhelming but I still no like milk aaaaa) If you are a dairy person, this one MUST HAVE! If you are non-dairy person, you can try try and share share.

Grand Opening on 13th September 2022

The meals were delicious and that's where the highlight is today, these unforgettable dining moments, not just spent with loved ones of your family and friends but with anyone else, having meals here will make those moments truly unforgettable itself. Visit ELITE YouMiQi today! Surely no regrets!

Huat! Huat! Celebration with The Bar'n Malaysia

yee Sang

Sebrinah Yeo January 21, 2020 0

This 2020 Chinese New Year, if you haven't decided where to feast for this auspicious occasion, then The Bar'n will be the best choice to pick. For its spacious and comfortable environment that each venue carries their own special animal identity. It is a place that has the best of both world -food and drinks!

They also have Yee Sang that you can order to celebrate Chinese New Year with your loved ones!

And what's better to pair it with their amazing meals and wines or alcohol to unwind and dine through the night!

Ps. You can opt for Vegetarian Yee Sang.

We also had the Meat Lover's Platter (RM92) that combines a variety of meat like the deep fried luncheon meat fries, tender juicy chicken wings, marinated and full of flavour pork satay, smoked chicken sausage, dynamite chilli chicken sausage, crispy pork belly and the juicy grilled Lágrima inter coaster pork meat (the meat between the ribs).

Perfect to match with white wine or beer!

Then we also had the Pescatore Pizza (RM35) that is made with homemade tomato marinara with mozzarella cheese, super fresh sautéed prawns, mussels and squids!

Very appetising for a pizza and not too overwhelming. Pairs beautifully with white wine too!

I preferred red wine for its antioxidant and we ordered a bottle of their house wine just to unwind and dine the night away.

The Bar'n actually hosts a different theme at each venue and for IOI City Mall, Putrajaya it was Daisy and Lucky the cow.

I love how the area was decorated! It was cosy and at the same time fun!

And we met Ricky who only had one goal in his mind. And that is to make sure everyone leaves happily. His passion in the restaurant is just inspiring because of his love for the culinary industry where he was a chef for over 30 years.

During our dinner there, he was checking in with people on their experience and just genuinely getting to know us. He was really friendly and approachable. You will surely feel welcome here at The Bar'n, IOI City Mall, Putrajaya.

They also have a Cigar room that is properly filtered and closed up that you can have private events or meetings with your business partners.

Naughty Nuri's Ribs Master Challenge Malaysia

Whole year

Sebrinah Yeo October 05, 2018 0

Would you like to enjoy FREE Ribs for One Whole Year in 2019?!?!?!
It's so easy to participate, anyone can join in the fun and just eat!

Naughty Nuri Malaysia will be having a 3 months long challenge on Ribs Master Challenge! It'll be taking place in all Naughty Nuri's outlet from 1st Sept to 30th Nov 2018. This challenge is to see who can finish a rack of Naughty Nuri's Signature BBQ Pork Ribs in the fastest time challenge! So I crazily took up the challenge just for the fun of it and it was interesting. It gets kinda excited at the beginning but then I ain't the only one nervous about it or worried about how huge it is, can we do it or not and etc.... You won't believe the surge of energy I felt today!!

Then when it began, the atmosphere changed and I just stayed focus and "chow down"! Rip that juicy ribs apart and tear those succulent meat from the rib bone and gobble them up. Practically you can imagine me like a chubby cute hamster stuffing food into my mouth until both my cheeks were filled up.

The meat was a mix of tender and juicy on the outer layer and soft but dry and course on the thicker parts inside. This made it harder to swallow and I had to drink water to chug it down.

If you can beat the time on the board, your name stays up until someone takes the challenge and beats your score. However, at the end of the challenge by end Nov, the top fastest challengers from each outlet will have to face the final round of showdown where it will be head-to-head to see who will win the grand prize, a whole year of FREE pork ribs!

It took me 10 minutes and 42 seconds to complete my challenge. The record to beat is 1 minute and 2 seconds at this outlet. And apparently the fastest record amongst all the other outlets is 57 seconds+/-, that's less than 1 minute! That is INSANE!

So do you think you're game?

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
(Basically I edited this video at midnight and it made me so hungry!!)

That's not all!

There will be a ss15 Courtyard K-Pop Dance Cover Competition held at the Concourse, Ground Floor at ss15 Courtyard and registrations are open to EVERYONE without limits of age or Nationality!

Why call it the K-pop Dance Cover Competition?

Well, if you are a fan of K-pop Music, then you will surely understand why! Because everytime that awesome beat plays on TV/Radio/MP3/Mobile or wherever, you just feel like breaking it down and dance away to the rhythm! Which is why the whole dance cover comes about when people aspire to be like their favourite K-Pop stars! And sometimes, it ain't just breaking it down to the tune, it's trying to mimic every single steps exactly to the MV!

Hence, if you wanna join the competition and the K-Pop group/star that you are doing the dance cover for, has to have the same amount of members for the participating groups.

Example : 2NE1 consists of 4 members and you will be doing a Dance cover of their song, your participation must also consists of 4 members doing the same Dance cover together as a team.

This competition will be judged by Danny from RJVN DC, a dance crew which focused more towards street dance. A little background, Danny Lee is the founder of the Rejuvenate Dance Crew and Peanut Butter Studio. With a Diploma in Performing Arts, he aspires to continue exploring new ideas and concepts to better build the Malaysian Dance Scene with everyone. With credits like 8TV Showdown 2013 All-stars, Astro Battleground 2013 and Asian Battleground 2016; and Thailand Seacon International Champion, he has started a few dance competitions locally like Shuddup N' Dance, Peanut Battle Jam and Novice Jam and even hosted Battle of the Year Malaysia 2016. In RJVN DC’s recent performances, they have started doing k-pop dances by a surge of clients and fans request for more k-pop performances. Incase you are still unaware, RJVN DC is involved in technicality segment of a lot of local dance competition and even K-pop dance competitions.

I don't know if you all remember when was the hype of these K-Pop hype, but I know it was when "Nobody, Nobody, but you" hit the GLOBAL music air waves! "Practically since Rain & Wonder Girls’ time. That's like in the last 5-6 years, and the competition gets to be more commercialize and popular. Like they say, everything starts of as a trend in the beginning! Even Pop culture is a trend," says Danny.

"For example like street dance, from the past it was always about break-dance, now we

have locking and many more!" (What is locking ah? I know how to lock doors je so my kids don't run out! lolx...)

Danny also mentions that, "As Korean artist keep on presenting good music videos and stage performances, their fans will continue to cover their dance steps and even fashion style! K-pop has never stopped producing new artistes and good tunes every year, and their marketing is really good. This phenomenon is not just a trend, it will last for a while. Because more and more people are learning k-pop dance."

So if you're like me and you wanna feel young again, time to keep up with trend and dance with your loved ones! Just boogie with it~!

Who said, MOMS CAN'T DANCE?! (but I not joining competition la, xiao meh lolx~!)

Time for all you K-Pop fans and enthusiasts to strut your stuff at this competiton to stand a chance to compete for amazing prizes!

If you wanna join, some tips you can start learning now is to learn from YouTube, do your own research into your own skills and talents and improvise and practice makes perfect! You can even take up classes too! You have until end of this month for the competition! Gambateh~!

S.O.P Restaurant & Bar in Paradigm PJ

spaghetti

Sebrinah Yeo November 24, 2017 18

Knowing my love for food, how can I not publish this review? This is not a sponsored review as it is my deepest pleasure to enjoy and dine in new places all the time, whilst sharing my personal experiences, and going into detail on the whole journey of my food review! Thanks to my gift, especially my sensitive taste and scent. I can practically pick up the ingredients just by tasting or smelling any food.

Okay, enough blabbing about me. Down to biz with this beauty!

Located in Paradigm Mall, Petaling Jaya which is found along the Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) Express Highway. The busiest highway in town! The mall is facing directly opposite of Giant Hypermarket Kelana Jaya.

S.O.P is a German Cuisine Restaurant & Bar. From the outside, many may have misunderstood this venue as a bar or pub, however, rest assured it is 150% family-friendly!

It's a non-halal restaurant that serves amazing juicy ribs packed with a punch, full of flavours with every bite!

Their spaghetti is quite yummy when it's warm for you and your family to enjoy!

Their salad we ordered off the menu was really fresh and generous portions too!

On my 2nd visit there on Sunday, there were many families with young children at the restaurant and it was fully packed by lunchtime!

The Pork Loin set was yummy, the meat was marinated nicely. I asked for extra sauce because the pork loin is less fatty hence more meaty.

The Bacon Aglio Olio was delicious! My son asked for seconds!

My husband ordered the SOP Pork Burger and it was really good! The patty didn't taste like it was factory made! Flavorful with every bite! Satisfying portion too.

I added soup to my set lunch and it was Pumpkin soup that day. It was sweet, pure and rich! My son like it, even my baby kept bugging me for it.

The inner decoration is really unique. Very cosy, cool and homey!

A rack display for their liquors (I miss it so much...) There's also a wash basin to wash your hands.

Their door inside is majorly huge and very unique! It's to their private room inside! So you can even have a small party gathering here or birthday party!

Every set lunch comes with an Ice Lemon Tea and it was so good I ordered seconds at my first visit with my friends! This photo was taken on my 2nd visit with my family, seated outdoors as indoors was fully reserved. I noticed outside there's a huge space to walk about and just enjoy space. There's also a cute water fountain on the floor in the certain outdoors, some kids were playing there with their family. But be careful, they can get wet easily as the water fountain sprays out from the ground.

Do drop by for a visit with your family!
