Vasco's

An innovative all-day-dining restaurant designed with an "al fresco" urban park feel. Impressive buffet showcase with choice selection of Asian and international favourites.

Staff in Vasco is very friendly and pleasant but the food in Vasco really needs to improve.The cauliflower soup I had tasted funny, like the cauliflower had been soaked too long in water. The desert served is actually quite good but the Black Chin Chow at the desert area tasted like it is spoilt and sour.Vasco used to be good.Dear Guest,Thank you for choosing to dine at Vasco and for your complimentary review.

Fatty Crab Restaurant

Reviewed By SonGJeremy

Went because of the review on trip advisor.The place is super crowded, i will suggest going earlier at 530pm to get seats.The sweet and sour sauce is very interestingly good, you can even order bread to dip and soak up the sauce... Ordered 2 crabs in a single dish, 1 is decent, the other 1 is not good at all. Meat is mushy, not fresh. The chicken wings are super good!!!!! It is a seperste stall but within the resturant

Dancing Fish

Reviewed By chris2pherwong

Heard so much about this place so just had to try it. Was so happy I did. Service was top notch, the barley drink (warm or cold) had free refills. We ordered the dancing fish, green and red sambal aubergine, beef rendang, red snapper, kangkung and jelly pops, all were excellent and delicious. Not so great was the cumi cumi bakar which tasted like rubber, and they readily took it off our table and the bill :o) This is definitely a great place to return to! My only wish is that they serve the avocado shake with palm sugar that you find in other Indonesian restaurants, maybe one day...

Just finished my lunch here. Had ayam kriok kriok set @ RM14.99 that comes with choice of limited drinks. Had sirap Limau which are very diluted. Had ala carte ayam ungkep at RM13.90 and Keli kriok kriok @ RM 9.90. Honestly speaking the best dish here are the Keli fish for me. Fish portion are good for the price and it’s fried fresh topped with fried bits which I don’t really like it, served with sambal and 2fried tauhu and lettuce and tomato on the side.Chicken kriok kriok or ayam ungkep both meat are tough and dry for their breast meat. Chicken meat marinated are not that flavorful seem dry eating with rice. Price @ one Utama shopping mall are fair and not expensive. If I’m here again, would be having their fish instead of chicken and to try their beef

We came before 6pm and pleased that we can easily get a table here and enjoyed our dinner. The fried Kian Tenggiri and bitter gould are a must for me. Before long, the restaurant filled up quickly and queue built up. So come early.

1) Restaurant & Ambience- located on 1st floor, restaurant is huge and there's many seats available. So, it doesnt feel cramp. Ambience is good because it is modern and bright. Air cond is also good - not too hot not too cold. Suitable to have group party or just casual dining with family & friends.2) Buffet Dinner- food choices is good- quite a lot of seafood option- majoity of the dishes tasted very nice and fresh- there's seafood on ice, cold cuts, salad bar, hot food dishes (chinese, malay, indian, western), satay, pizza, soup, noodle station, dessert, cheese section, ice cream, fruits, coffee machine and 4 types of juices/infused water.3) ServiceVery friendly service and good service overall4) Birthday Cake- they also prepared a small birthday cake with sing-a-long for us as one of our friend is celebrating his birthday. Two thumbs up. - The red velvet cake is delicious too.Overall, I find the buffet dinner value for money and impressive. Highly recommended.

You can visit this place just for the ambience. It is really amazing. A huge choice of food of various cuisines. We were vegetarians, still we had enough to eat. Excellent service by the staff. The Indian chef there is a bit grumpy, he needs an attitude change, twice seen him behaving the same way, but having said that the pasta he made was very tasty. There is Indian vegetarian food also. The best part is the deserts, huge selection with a chocolate fountain, frozen yogurt with so many toppings, for those who love deserts you must visit. Was my wife's birthday and they wished her and gave a small cake also. Check for credit card offers or offers through Fave app where you can get 40 to 45% on the listed price which is ridiculously high. Would like to visit againDear harishbala, Warmest greetings and thank you for sharing your experience with us. It has been a pleasure to have you here, and we are delighted that you enjoyed the ambiance and food served, especially desserts and pasta! Having said that, we have noted on your recommendations for future improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back to Latest Recipe again soon!Best regards,Michael DelargyGeneral Manager

Village Park Restaurant

Reviewed By ilettuce

The service here is super fast and efficient! I liked that the owner himself (pics are hung all over the walls in the restaurant) was humble and hardworking, helping to clear dishes, take orders and serve customers. The workers behind the counter just keeps preparing endless plates of nasi lemak, and whenever someone orders them the servers just grab the ready ones and serve them to you. Don't worry, because the turnover is THAT fast, the food isn't sitting there for a long period of time and is still piping hot when it reaches you! Also try other great nasi lemak spots in KL - Ali, Muthu & Ah Hock; Nasi Lemak Bumbung, etc. Selamat makan!
