MY2010 - Paddington House of Pancakes

After having lunch at T-Bowl, we decided to give Paddington House of Pancakes (PHOP) a try.

 

 

Claimed to serve more than 100 types of pancakes from around the world, it was really a tough choice for us to choose.

 

 

And yes, all they serve here are just pancakes!! Being full dining restaurant, they claim to be the first specialty pancake restaurant in Asia, serving only pancakes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and supper.

 

 

I guess the advantage of PHOP is visitors get to taste different varieties of pancakes from different countries in just one location.

MY2010 - T-Bowl

While browsing through the shops at Queensbay, we came across an interesting restaurant known as the T-Bowl Concept Restaurant.

 

 

Apparently, the idea of a T-Bowl or Toilet Bowl Restaurant originated while the founder was sitting on a toilet bowl one day, and had an idea of eating while sitting there. Hence, he decided to introduce this concept into the food industry.

 

 

The restaurant is generally designed based on a bathroom concept, where toothbrushes (on the menu), shower heads (along the wall), toilet bowls (seats), basins and baths (tables) are commonly used for their interior decorations.

 

 

Serving a range of oriental food, the bathroom concept is also extended to the plates and cups, where toilet bowl covers are used as plates and mini toilet bowls as cups.

 

 

Although sounding gross, we reckon it was actually an interesting idea.

MY2010 - Canton-i

Managed and probably a subsidiary of Dragon-i (based on the contact details), Canton-i …

… claimed that they bring in the very best of Hong Kong cuisine to Malaysia. The funniest thing that happened during our dinner was, the moment we sat down, the waiter came by and advised us that we are not allowed to take any pictures of the interior. Just in case you are wondering how the interior looks like, here it is:

By inviting renowned chefs from Hong Kong and Guangzhou, they do live up their name by offering a wide selection of authentic dishes. It is also claimed to use the finest imported ingredients meticulously chosen to offer a true taste of Hong Kong.

 

Too many choices to choose from… deciding.. deciding.. deciding..

 

After going through the vast menu, our dinner selection for the night consists of five treasure rice …

 

 

… 2 combination rice (roasted pork belly and soy sauce chicken with rice) …

 

 

… fried rice …

 

 

… fried carrot cake …

 

 

… and the flowering red amaranth, or more commonly known as blooming tea.

 

 

Overall, I wouldn’t rate the food as really good, but nevertheless, it was an enjoyable meal.
