Bens Kitchen, Kuala Lumpur

We at Ben's Kitchen today





Long Menu on western food includes tea set and some Asian cuisine.



 
 

Grilled Pesto Chicken RM 25.90

Multigrain sandwich bread is nice. Bread texture is spongy with slightly chewiness.
Lettuce at the most bottom, then slide of salty dry meat, then chicken breast meat and spread of avocado pesto sauce.
Big piece of chicken breast but have some “frozen taste” and meat is dry. The sauce is flavourful, but the outcome is very thirsty (lot of MSG or flavouring)

Sandwich served with salad and 3 colour chips. Salad leave is clean (mix lettuce and wild rocket), green soya beans (edamame) and some chestnut (sadly it started to have rancid taste). Chips are quite nice, using purple sweet potato, sweet potato and yam.

Conclusion: Big portion. Like most is the chips and the sandwich bread, salad leaves are clean.


Wild mushroom quiche RM 17.90

Quiche that is full of mushroom but nothing to shout about.

Carbonara Pasta RM 29.90 
白酱意粉

Thick and creamy sauce on pasta, nice cheesy taste. I like this dish, ingredient used is nice. The only thing I comment is the sausage, bacon still is my favourite for this dish. 

浓浓的白酱,还有浓郁的芝士味。用的材料不错,好吃。唯一的以见是那香肠,我比较喜欢培根。


Tomato Bruschetta RM 13.90
沙拉面包

Crunchy round toasted bread top with tomato and meat piece, i wonder it's a ham or what. I like this, fresh ingredients and pleasant on taste and so do the presentation. 
脆口的烤面包,新鲜的番茄粒,肉块。好吃,也好看


Affogato RM 10.00
阿芙佳朵

My favourite drink or favourite dessert can be found here. Shot of espresso and scoop of vanilla ice cream, very satisfied. Personally prefer stronger espresso, espresso here not strong enough for me for this Affogato.

喜爱的饮品或甜品。一杯意大利浓缩咖啡加冰激凌,恨满足。阿芙佳朵咖啡要很浓才好,我感觉这的意大利浓缩咖啡不够浓。



Espresso RM 6.50
意大利浓缩咖啡

They are using Segafredo coffee. Segafredo 是店主用的咖啡品牌。


Blueberry muffin 蓝莓鬆餅

Muffin is not bad, just slightly sweet for me. The texture is fine, soft and moist.
还可以,只是有点甜。鬆软,不干,口感还好。



Banana bar RM 3.50
香蕉酥饼



Madagascar Creme Brulee RM9.90
法式燉蛋

Texture is smooth but slightly dense. Overall taste is okay. 
法式燉蛋,口感蛮滑,但有点实。



I've been visit to La Vita Coffee few times. The following is their Set Lunch, RM23.00 per set, set include soup of the day, main course and dessert. Combination might be different from time to time.

已经到访La Vita Coffee 数次,他家的午餐套餐是 RM23.00,包括汤,主菜和甜品。套餐的菜单不时改变。


Set Lunch #1   午餐套餐 #1
Creamy Corn Soup, as you can see from the photo, creamy white soup with corn. Smooth and strong in milky/ creamy taste

奶油玉米汤,口感很滑,奶油味也蛮重的。







Grilled Chicken with Butter Sauce. It's a nice butter sauce, not too salty. Chicken piece is fresh too, not too dry in texture. 

奶油酱烤鸡。奶油酱蛮好的,不太咸或稠,不腻。鸡块也新鲜,没被烤太干。

small cheese tart as dessert
甜品:迷你奶酪点心


Set Lunch #2      午餐套餐 #1
Tomato Soup. The soup is nice, as you can see that the soup is full of ingredients. It is really a nice tomato soup, sourness and sweetness of tomato with herbs, very flavourful. If you like tomato, you must be like it too.

西红柿汤。照片可看店主一点也不吝啬。我觉得很好喝,满口西红柿的酸甜味,和香料味。如你爱西红柿,也爱这。

Pan-seared Fish with Honey Mustard Sauce. Honey mustard sauce, a little bit sweet, little bit spices taste over the fish fillet. It's good to have such mild sauce to match with seafood, you can still taste the fish. I like about the vege side dish/ garnish, broccoli still crunchy and some spices to add in flavour. Instead of just broil those and serve, some restaurant do that. 

煎鱼配蜜糖芥末酱。酱料带点甜,还有谈淡的香料味,和鱼的配搭还好,没盖过鱼肉的味道。我喜欢他的配菜,西兰花还是脆口的,还有家入调味。不像有些餐厅,烫水后就上菜。


Set Lunch #3
Potato soup with croutons. The soup is nice too, kind of cream potato soup.

马铃薯汤,面包丁。不错的汤,像是奶油马铃薯汤。


Black Pepper Spaghetti. Top is sprinkle with pumpkin seeds, the first time I see this. This is a dish full of mix vege. If you not a vege lover or doesn't take capsicum, please aware. Overall is nice for me as I like vege. 

黑椒意粉。南瓜子陪意粉,第一次见。里头菜很多,对我来说,好吃。如你不爱菜或不吃灯笼椒,请注意。

Poach Salmon in Leek Sauce. Quite big piece of salmon fillet, the leek sauce is mild. Just the salmon a little bit dry out. The taste is good for me who not prefer strong taste. It would be good if can slightly stronger in taste.
青蒜汁煮三文鱼。鱼肉不小,蒜汁没有很浓。可鱼肉有点干。我喜欢清淡的,这适合我。如能浓味一点,会不错。

Jelly dessert.  果凍甜点

Cristang, PJ

 drizzling rain in the afternoon , we lunch at Cristang. You can see PORK on its glass panel. They mainly promote on their pork burger.

今天,小雨天,我们来吃猪包,Cristang。窗户上,你可看到 “猪”,所以,这以猪为主。




P3 Classic Burger RM25.70
经典包

Most burger come along with wedges. Those wedges is in house roasted, taste not bad. The minced pork actually is "overflow" from the butter toasted burger.

它家炸薯块好吃,自家烤的。陷蛮多的,可看汉堡里的猪肉碎盈满。


As you can see here, classic burger consist of one piece of pickle, two onion ring, one slice of tomato, one piece of lettuce on top. Then is minced pork. I wonder what is the ingredients, for me, it taste something like sardine. At the bottom is piece of pork patty and slice of cheese. Overall, the patty is nice. I will prefer to have more vege if allowed.

经典猪包里有一片芝士,猪肉饼(味道不错)和盈满的肉酱,还有。上有一片生菜,一片番茄,两圈洋葱和一块阉黄瓜。如果能多点,就好。不懂里头是什么,这肉酱吃起来像番茄沙丁鱼,哈哈


They have plenty of choice on the pork burger menu, like specialty burger which is petai pork burger or premium burger with some extra from normal burger.

除了普通的猪汉堡,还有臭豆猪汉堡,还有特级汉堡,加料的。


Grilled Pork Chop RM24.80 

Two piece pork chop with buttery pepper sauce. The meat is tender and seasoning is nice. Mashed potato definitely is not ready-to-made type, self made often the nicer. Overall it is nice pork chop with buttery gravy but the meat is slightly dry to me.

两块猪扒配奶油酱。肉质蛮鬆,调味不错,可对我来说,肉有点干了。署泥是自家的,好吃。
