Du Viet, KLCC

The name "Du Viet" means to "do Vietnamese" for a meal. The "Du" is a play on sound as well as to imply the French influence in Vietnam.

Traditional Mixed Beef Noodles (Pho Bo Dac Biet) RM15.90
Imported tenderloin beeffillet, stewed beef brisket, balls, tripe and clear beef soup

He loved the Pho coz it's clear and light just the way he liked it :)

Special Seafood Soup Noodles (Pho Hai San) RM15.90
Fresh prawns, fish fillet, squid & cuttlefish in mildly spicy seafood soup

I absolutely loved my seafood soup noodles coz it is indeed very special. It is close to Tomyam and yet not sour and has a tinge of spicyness to it. The seafood was very fresh and they were very generous with the serving. Went very well with the fresh bean sprouts and basil. Highly recommended.

Fresh Summer Rolls - Prawns (2 rolls) RM9.90
Choice of chicken / beef / prawn

We have always loved summer rolls and the ones here are exactly how we would have loved it. We loved the chewy transparent spring roll skin, fresh prawns and herbs.

Chicken Wings (6 pieces) RM19.90
Choice of Baked durian wings / Stuffed wings / Cambodian lemongrass wings

We opted for the baked durian wings since we are durian lovers and baked durian wongs definitely sounds very special. The wings took a while to be served coz it has to be oven baked slowly. But it is definitely worth the wait coz the wings are simply excellent. It has a certain sweetness from the durian and the durian taste was fragrant and yet subtle thus not too overpowering.

Homemade Lemongrass Ginger Tea RM7.90

Very strong ginger flavour. Absolutely loved this drink.

Special Drip Coffee with Ice Cream RM9.90
What's a Vietnamese meal without the famous drip coffee? ;)

Ginger Flavoured Creme Brulee RM8.90

The ginger flavour blended very well with the sweet creme brulee

Three Colours Delite
Green grass jelly, cendol & red beans & gula melaka & low fat cream topping (soya base) RM8.90

I liked the fact that it was not too sweet with a strong soya flavour. Very special drink indeed

To us, the most important aspect of a Vietnamese restaurant is the Pho Bo Dac Biet (beef noodles). The Pho served at Du Viet was light and clear which was exactly what we liked in a good Pho. The service was fast the friendly. Definitely a thumbs up for a good Vietnamese meal. Their durian pancake is supposedly their bestseller but we didn't try because we just had the baked durian wings.

Manila Place Catering at Wacoal MOI CREE Sensation Fashion Show

I was invited to the Wacoal MOI CREE Sensation Fashion Show at Parkson Gurney Plaza. It was an invitation by RSVP only we were given a door gift worth RM120.

Light snacks and finger food by Manila Place catering were also served which includes Vietnamese spring rolls, blueberry tarts, mini chocolate moist cakes and vanilla sponge cakes, deep fried spring rolls, finger egg and tuna sandwiches etc.

I just tried the moist chocolate cake and finger sandwiches and they were both good. The chocolate cake was suprisingly very moist and strong dark chocolate flavour and not extremely sweet.

Check out Manila Place catering menu here.



After that we were introduced to the MOI CREE range of lingerie with beautiful models parading in the latest range of MOI CREE bras.

Ocean Green Restaurant & Seafood

Ocean Green Seafood Restaurant is undoubtedly one of the most famous seafood restaurants in Penang and has been around for a while.

We were there for lunch one day and ordered some of their most famous dishes. Their price has always been in the upper range so we were not very surprised when the bill came to ~RM1,000 for 12 pax, including drinks.

Steamed Gobi with Soy Sauce (served with boiled beehoon)

Stir Fried Crab with Salted Egg Yolk

Deep Fried Spring Chicken and Inchi Kabin

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab

Stir Fried Kailan with Topshell and Hawaiian Nuts

Kerabu Tofu

Deep Fried Spring Rolls (Choon Piah)

Lobster Thermidor

Boiled Fresh Tiger Prawns

Sizzling Oyster with Egg

Overall food was good especially the Sizzling Oyster with Egg, Boiled Fresh Tiger Prawns, Steamed Gobi with Soy Sauce, Kerabu Tofu, Lobster Thermidor and Stir Fried Kailan with Topshell and Hawaiian Nuts. Some find the salted egg yolk a bit overwhelming for the Stir Fried Crab dish but I love salted egg yolk so I wasn't complaining :)

The Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab were unfortunately not crispy enough to some. Personally, we felt that the Deep Fried Spring Chicken were a bit overrated and we have had better Inchi Kabin elsewhere.

P/S: Sorry, picture quality not exactly great because I took them in a hurry :(
