Food Stop ~ Manila’s Place

Just the other day, my friends and I went to Manila’s Place in Gurney Plaza for lunch and NO! folks... I don’t think they serve and Manila Cuisine there. hehe... It’s a western food Restaurant and it’s a nice place for you to relax and enjoy a good meal. It has a great ambiance and the food was pretty good too. They have set lunch from RM16.00 up to RM32.00. Their set lunch comes with soup + main course + drink either hot or cold and dessert. For starter, they served a bowl of creamy mushroom soup, a mini bun and butter. The mushroom soup was very nice and creamy and when you dip the bun in it... fuhyoo!

I managed to take some photos while I was there.

~ Green Tea Vivien had. Now I can never eat something already hot and wash it down with a hot drink pulak. macam tak kena jer plak. hehehe... So, I had Iced Peach Tea and it was very cool… very nice.



~ Mushroom Soup in a Bun @ RM11.90. (p/s : This is not the mushroom soup that came with the set lunch ok!. Hehehe… Kak Lily had this mushroom soup and look! You can even eat the bowl :) hahaha…



~I had this Rosemary lamb for main course and it cost RM26.90. Now I never liked lamb before cos I think they have this weird grassy smell (uwek!). And even though when you have a piece of it in your mouth, you can still smell it and it taste like you’re eating dried grass. But ever since I tasted Kak Lily’s marinated BBQ lamb… I tell ya, I loved it on the spot. Now I eat lamb sometimes. Depends on how good it is and only if it doesn’t smell like rumput kering. Well, This Rosemary Lamb I had was absolutely delicious. No rumput kering smell and the texture were tender and juicy. And the portion was a lot. They served 3-4 pieces of sliced lamb shoulder. Banyak tue even for me to finish it. I had to give 2 pieces away to my friends to enjoy. Sigh! hehehe. Tak maul ah tamak betul tak?



~Azu had this Lemongrass Chicken served with rice and the set lunch was only RM16.90. Looks good!


~Nas had this Salmon Fish for RM32.00. Kinda expensive if you ask me for 2 piece fish fillet. Kalu nak makan ikan, masak jer kari ikan lagi best :p I had a small piece and well, it’s so so only lah. Nothing to shout about. hehe! Sorry Nas, you know I dont like eating fish.


Overall… I had a good time. The food was good and we all left with a full happy tummy :) Will I go there again? hm... I surely will ;)

P/s : Will post about my BBQing next time. Dont have the photos with me right now :p
