ended up rather disappointed with the food here.
The ban chan didn't taste too fresh either, so overall not a great dining experience here. When we were paying, I noticed a sign saying that they would be changing their name to Dae Bak soon. This is a far cry from the Publika outlet. NOT a place I would be returning to anytime soon.
So the total bill was RM105.80 for a meal of 6 pax. It is expensive in my books especially the vegetables which seemed overpriced to me. Also the portions were really small. Imagine 6 adults noming those dishes with fancy plates. This is definitely a one time deal for me.
Authentic Nyonya Cuisine
What makes the Nyonya cendol here so good is that they insist on using fresh ingredients that are prepared daily. But what really sets this cendol a class apart is their santan, it’s extra thick and creamy with the most wonderful aroma.
Some hits and some misses here but Merrow Pasta still scores brownie points for making their own fresh pasta daily. The highlight of the pasta for me was definitely that awesome Lasagna and Con Salsa Al Nero. Merrow Pasta’s ambiance is also great for parties and gathering.
In general, the prices here are quite standard, reasonable for its generous portion of serving which you could easily share with a friend or two.
Master Chef Kitchen is fashioned like a casual cafe serving Hong Kong-style roast meats served with rice and noodles.
Mee goreng was highly praised for its taste; moisten noodles nicely fried with egg, bean sprouts, prawns and soy sauce.
Compared to the asam laksa which wasn't the best choice, mamak mee goreng was much loved for its flavors.

The latest addition at The Main Place USJ 21. The interior design is quite interesting, the seating area beautifully decorated like you're at sea. The graffiti art on the wall and the food is really good here too. Fresh seafood, especially the fish! I ordered the "Baked Salmon with Citrus Crust" (RM 27.95) & completed my Salmon dish into a meal by adding RM8.95 for a drink & soup. We then decided after that to add on another ala-carte meal "The Best Fish & Chips in Town" (RM 16.95).
I ordered the Iced Cube Chai, one of their signature drink. The ice cubes are actually made from freezing the tea into cubes. Pretty cool right. Honestly, it takes a while for the iced tea cubes to dissolve and mix with the milk. I had to keep stirring. It was good though. First thing you get to taste is the milk tea (which also has a nice scent to it), followed by a minty after taste because of the mint leaves. I removed the mint leaves soon enough as I didn't want my milk tea to have a strong minty taste.
Overall, I think Absolute Coffee Stop makes a really serene coffee stop. Quiet, tranquil and comfy place to hangout with friends or enjoy some solitary time. Drop by if you wish to try the Five Senses Harvest Blend or the red espresso drinks!
This café sells not only local cuisines like nasi lemak, satay and etc but also western food from grilled platter to pastas and pizzas. Frankly the food here is nothing to shout about, but the ambience is pretty good, nicely set up and decorated.
Big hug burger somehow was a stand out, crunchy burst incorporated in the burger, stuffed with veggies and that oozing layer of cheese.
Nonetheless, it still is a good hearty piece of cake suffice to satisfy a mille crepe craving.
