In 2007, To Dine For was awarded the Best Halal Asian Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur for the year 2007/08 for its efficient services, strategic location, value for money and for keeping the halal guidelines. To Dine For is also one of the top ten recommended restaurants in Kuala Lumpur for tourists and business travellers. Belonging to the Sea Cuisine group of restaurants specialising in Thai cuisine; To Dine For offers patrons a range of Thai cuisine from various parts of Thailand.

Located at the city centre, To Dine For promises to offer not only a satisfying lunch treat to its corporate crowd, but a place suitable for company lunches and business meetings. It is quiet and offers its patrons enough privacy. The restaurant is filled often with well-made up girls in power suits and men dressed for success. Lipstick marks on the straws that were stuck in glasses of Thai coffee and teas were quite a common sight to the waiters and waitresses.

Restaurant: Coca Restaurant, Subang Parade, Selangor

We have been informed that Coca encourage healthy eating, hence they substitute coconut milk with yoghurt in their curry-based dishes, such as this Green Curry Chicken with Homemade Fish Balls (Gaeng Kew Wan Loke Chin Pla Kap Nuer Kai, RM 11.80). Overall, the dish looked exactly the same as the original version, only the gravy appeared to be slightly thicker. The chicken meat were, again, very tender and came in big chunks. Served together with aubergines and home made fish balls, I could taste that it was a bit different from the version cooked with coconut milk. If you’re not keen to have it cooked with yoghurt, you still can request them to cook it with coconut milk.

Coca Steamboat @ Subang Parade

Restaurant: Coca Restaurant, Subang Parade, Selangor

I have heard about Coca Restaurant many years ago while I’m still residing in Ipoh e.g. through promotion leaflet distributed by Jusco. I also still remembers how I used to say, “All these eateries are in KL, it’s not that we can go.” Yeah, Ipoh is seriously deprived of some higher end eateries.

When I shifted here in KL, these memories seems to be sealed somewhere in my brain and it never came across my mind to try these places which once regarded as “too far” until I received an email from Coca’s Marketing Manager, Ms Andrea Chua few weeks back, inviting me over to their Subang outlet for a dinner for two.

1105 Calvin got to tag along and since I’ve read about Coca from other bloggers’ experience, we were not expecting for steamboat. True enough, as soon as we met Andrea, we were told that they have prepared a la carte dishes for us. We got to choose our drinks; I had the Roselle Juice while Calvin opted for fresh coconut. Good to perk up an appetite as the Roselle juice was sourish, yet refreshing and sugar free.
