Since my last post on Elite Avenue
(link),
There has been more and more restaurants opening there these few months. We've
been trying on more foods during our lunchtime and here are some updates!
Kiyomi Japanese Restaurant
Kiyomi is actually one of the first few restaurants opening here and we finally have the chance to try out their food for a few times. We must say we are quite impressed with their food. It's a bit pricey but the portion is always big, the taste top notch and the food presentation is pleasing! I heard the chef was from Azuma last time.

They do have set lunch but it's always changing so whenever we are in Elite, we will walk pass to have a look at their latest set lunch on the board outside the restaurant. It has really become a habit of ours! *facepalm* The set lunch's price ranges from RM16.80++ to RM18.80++ onwards.

These are the set lunch that we've tried out and every single one that we've tried is great and makes us beyond stuffed! Small eater may wants to share those bigger portion sets such as this 'soba & soft shell crab maki' set lunch! There is this BIG BOWL of soba with 4pcs of BIG MAKI! It is scrumptious but just too HUGE for someone trying to lose weight (but always fail)!

Then there is the salmon teriyaki set - as you can see from the picture the salmon block is HUGE and THICK unlike other Japanese restaurant. I guess you get what you pay for! Yummy!! I guess this is a good set for weight watcher? Just skip the rice! Hmm.. But it's authentic Japanese rice! What an inner struggle to abandon it! *facepalm*

There was one time they offers salad as set lunch! As a lifelong "aspiring" dieter, there is no doubt I'm going to order it! In hindsight the calories might not be as low as I imagine but what the heck! Look at the deep fried soft shell crab in the salad! It's definitely calling my name!

My colleague loves their Saba Shioyaki - it used to be in set lunch once but it's now in their main menu without set instead. The mackerel is HUGE and fresh. If you like Saba, this is the menu choice for you!

Kitchen Twenty-Three
Kitchen Twenty-Three is actually a very popular western food restaurant at Batu Maung. Thankfully they now have a branch in Elite so we get to try out their food.
Just like Kiyomi, they offer set lunch with always changing menu so you may try out different set on different visit. The set lunch is RM16.50++ per set with drink and soup.

I
actually had a bad impression during my first visit - the ala carte 'egg and
fish' that I ordered is tasteless with no other sauce given and the fish was
like shattered inside the omelet. I actually thought it was botched attempt.
But my colleague did mention that other choices such as her giant sausage were
delicious.

We gave it another try again and
this time order their all day breakfast – I ordered the French Breakfast with
Poached Egg, Sausage, sautéed mushroom and salad. I was shocked when it was
served as the portion was GIGANTIC! I love the poached egg but not so much on
the sautéed mushroom as the onion was more than the mushrooms. However, we do
get what we paid for right? At Rm13.50++, I think this French Breakfast is
definitely worth the money.

My colleague ordered the Mix &
Match Breakfast with Omelet & Mushroom and again IT WAS HUGE!! Gosh! She
loved All day Breakfast so much until she ordered another Local Breakfast
again during our next visit. =P

I’d also tried the Grilled Fish and
it was not bad – this time it’s served with lemon & some sour creamy sauce.
It’s definitely a good choice for those who are trying to watch their weight.
Hehe… However, if you don’t care about weight issue, you may try the Hanolulu
Chicken – a deep fried chicken with oily chicken skin and tons of fries!

Here are some new items we tried as well during a function gone wrong which made our team waited for long time.

Beyond Vege by Secret Recipe
In case you are not feeling eating
any meat on a particular day, you may try Beyond Vege – a vegetarian restaurant
by Secret Recipe. They have western, Chinese and local choices all in one menu.
The only thing that prevented us from repeated visit was the lack of meat in
the menu. LOL! We are definitely carnivore!
We’ve only been there once and we
were ordering their set lunch menu of sweet & sour mushroom and Portuguese sauce
mushroom. The set was served with some appetizer and soup as well. One thing I
was not fond of the set choices was everything seems to be deep fried – this beat
the purpose of healthy lifestyle isn’t it? - especially from a vegetarian
restaurant. The ala carte menu offered other choices which were quite pricey.
