Deli France @ Mid Valley KL - Please Stick To The Pastries
It has been awhile since I last paid Deli France a visit.
I used to frequent the Atria branch at Damansara Jaya quite a fair bit when I was little for 'Reward meals' for being good.
I vaguely recall the mushroom soup and the classic croissant being my all time favorite - it was that memorable.

Hokkaido Ichiba @ The Gardens
Traffic have been such a breeze throughout this Chinese New Year week. Especially for those who have left town and those who are still on extended breaks, Thank you very much.
I departed from KLCC and managed to arrive at The Gardens within 20 minutes, on a Friday evening.
Hokkaido Ichiba
Located on the 3rd floor of The Gardens, Hokkaido Ichiba is not unknown among the Japanese-food lovers. The place is always crowded espcially during peak hours. The place was still relatively empty when I got there at about 6.30pm but the crowd and waiting line outside gradually built up towards peak dinner time.
There is a standard menu, a dessert menu and a promotion menu available. I noticed that the dishes are priced slightly higher than Sushi Zanmai and comparable to Rakuzen and Yuzu.
We started the session with Yee Sang, just for the significance and festive spirit of it.
I still prefer the combination of ingrediants used for the Japanese version of Yee Sang rather than the Chinese one. I enjoyed this version.
The salmon was fresh and the texture was clean. A requisite dish for salmon lovers.
My dish took 20-25 minutes and was the last to arrive. Though I must say it was worth the wait. The curry was warm and sizzling when it arrived, very apetizing indeed. The fried chicken was a bit on the fat side but the meat was tender and sweet overall. I would recommend this.
Presentation wise, this dish looked quite apetizing and came in a big portion. The udon inside though was a huge dissapointment. It was way too salty and tasted like a mixture of pure soy sauce and noodles. I would not recommend this.
The set came with a dish of soft shell cran, udon, chawamushi, rice, soup and a plate of fruits. Considering the price of a soft shell crab dish costs Rm26, this dinner set is value for money.
I'm a big fan of soft shell crab and this version was decent. It was dry and crispy, just the way I like it.
Overall Rating: 6.5/10 for the food, environment and service. All in all, the dishes was decent but slightly on the saltier side and the salmon portions was fresh but nothing to rave about. I was satisfied overall but it may take awhile for me to revisit.

Fresca @ The Gardens
Since the terrible culinary experience I've had in Frontera, I was always in the look out for decent Mexican food. When I heard about Fresca, I knew that I had to pay this place a visit real soon.
There I was on a scorching Sunday afternoon, stuck in my car while waiting for the damn traffic to ease-up #fatchance #nohope. After about 30 minutes of being stuck in traffic and another 15 minutes looking for parking, I was finally there. In front of Fresca in The Gardens while waiting for my friend to arrive.
Fresca
It was lunch hour and I was expecting a crowd but fret not there was still ample tables available when we got there. I reckon it was because of the location of the restaurant, which was slightly off the main streets of the mall. That said, this place if fast gaining its popularity among the Mexican cuisine lovers.
There's actually a choice between Beef or Chicken Enchilada. The Enchilada comes with mexican baked beans and a serving of Mexican rice (rice, tomato, onions, garlic etc.). This dish also come with a side of guacamole.
Enchilada is basically a combination of ground beef (or chicken), a variety of vegetable, herbs and spices, wrapped in a tortilla and garnished with cheese before pouring over generous portions of enchilada sauce (which main ingredient is tomato sauce).
In this case, my beef enchilada was very flavorful without being too overwhelming. The mexican rice was equally good as its texture reminded me of fluffy version of glutinous rice.
The plate of Chicken fajita came with slices of tortilla bread and 3 different garnish. The dish was simmering when it arrived smell fragrant and aromatic without any notable burn smell. According to my friend, the chicken was tender and the combination of caramelised onions and the slices of bell peppers made the combination work.
Overall Rating: 6.5/10 for the Enchillada that I had and being one of the better Mexican restaurant I've been to. Would revisit but is keen to try out El Cerda at Changkat.

The menu was pretty extensive with a wide selection of foods and drinks stated.
Avocado Juice. (+/-Rm10) & Sangria (Rm23)
The Avocado juice was tasteless, be it authentic or not, it felt like was sipping thick and flavorless milkshake. My friend's sangria on the other hand was really good.
Enchilada Rojas (Beef). Rm28++.
