Monte is located in a secluded corner, Level 1 of BSC.
They are going to undergo renovation from 15th February 2009 to June 2009. this is prob a step to make the whole BSC more vibrant, where as currently some part of it looks a bit run down.
complimentary bun and butter, bun is nicely warmed
mushroom soup, RM8.90, a bit thick, but nonetheless, it is full of wonderful mushroom bits)
Sirloin steak which is in the executive set (RM21.90), their lunch set is really worth it. There is more than enough of beef for one person, here is 2 slabs of it.
my lamb shanks, the sauce is nothing inspiring, seems to taste like those in a packet, but the portion is really big. RM28.90
dessert(which is a scoop of ice cream) and coffee
some shops available in BSC
wagyu set at RM130++
lunch set

Battle of Malaysian Yogurts(Nestle, Dutch Lady, Marigold)

Looks like i have too much time on hand…
Who makes better yogurt? Dutch Lady’s, Nestle or Marigold
Pictured above
Dutch Lady Shine (zero fat): RM1.99
Dutch Lady yogurt: RM1.69
Marigold yogurt: RM1.49
Nestle yogurt: RM1.79
Picture left to right is same sequence of the first pic
Shine exudes a scary bright red color(prob due to it is raspberry strawberry flavor, while the rest are all strawberries)
Verdict:
Shine: the worst among all, taste artificial and the color scares me. also the priciest at RM1.99.
Dutch lady: creamy, sour and sweet and the same time, nice
Marigold: the palest color of them all, also surprisingly best tasting, creamy, and have the most strawberry bits
Nestle: texture is similar to Shine, prob due to the zero percent fat factor, kinda grainy and watery, not creamy
Winner: Marigold… :D
