NEW: Bubbles & Bites in Highlands Hotel, Genting

Remembered last week I posted that I was in Genting and I tried a total of 16 mooncakes flavours (click here to read), so after that we were brought to this new place names Bubbles & Bites. I heard of this place prior to this from JQ as she wanted to suggest this place for lunch when I met her up in Genting but end up we are at another place because I was too lazy to walk over. Ah so finally managed to try this new place! 

We were told that Bubbles & Bites was opened a while back in July 2012 and it is a casual continental cottage cuisine with a rustic concept that specialize in pizza and pastas.

Fresh salad bar at the counter! 

The fridge! Everyone surrounding it because it has really cool selection of miniature bottles of sparkling wines, alcoholic sodas, juices, soft drinks, beers and wines from all around the world & yay we get to pick what we want to drink! 

Bottled fruit juices, these are imported from New Zealand. Very healthy and delicious!

I picked up this cute bottle of Australian Bundaberg Root Beer to try, it is not as gassy as I thought it would be. 

Can't help but to pose with Darren from Nuffnang with this Root beer bottle that looked like hospital's medicine bottle to me

 And if you are not a big fan of juice & root beer there is alcoholic beverages served here. Some of them took the opportunity to try some of these.

And these!

Lemon & Orange cocktails

And that is Charmaine happily enjoying her drink before we all start to attack the food!

Here is what we have ...

 Caesar Salad - RM15

Our starter! It have garden fresh baby romaine lettuce, garlic croutons, egg, beef bacon with creamy house caesar dressing and topped with smoked salmon. 

Al Dente Spaghetti -RM19.00

Cooked with a wine, garlic, tomato & seafood. I love how the seafood was generously spread here & it tasted good.

 8 hour slow braised lamb shank - RM23

Honestly I'm not a lamb person so I didn't try but I was told that this was really good as only the bones left after picture was taken! For a 8 hour slow braised lamb shank , this is only RM23! 

Pizza Carbonara - RM21

This has creamy base with button mushrooms, chicken ham, spring onions, garlic and parmesan cheese.

 Home-style Macaroni & Cheese -RM15

This is one of our favourite because the cheese is literally flooding each & every macaroni! Very sinful I know but very smooth & rich in taste!  

 Isle of Capri - RM21

Has rich tomato base with sliced turkey ham, mushrooms, spanish red onion, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, grilled red capsicum and plump anchovies.

 Thai Red Curry Seafood -RM21.00

Thai red curry sauce base, tiger prawns, marinated calamari, mussels, mushrooms & lychees with mozzarella cheese. There is no secret that I love Thai food but I think this red curry flavour does not give enough kick!

Lam Lee Burger - RM20

Lam Lee and Ramlee sounds familiar? This is the signature classic Malaysian street burger that we all loved! 

This burger can feed 2 persons I think!  

 Peri Peri Chicken Wings - RM16 for 2 pairs of chicken wings

Of all things I tried, this is my favourite I must said! Must try , very appetizing.. can't go wrong with Peri Peri sauce! We actually re-ordered this because it's so delicious!

We also have some Desserts after that!

 Bread & Butter Pudding

 Cheese cake

 Tiramisu with purple cotton candy. 

Me & JQ 

After so much food must take picture with my sweet JQ. Finally she is back from Genting! Miss seeing her around in events when she was in Genting Highlands doing her internship! 

Last but not least a group picture of us saying Cheer! I like how this Bubbles & Bites has a private lounge area upstairs where we can chill & chat with our drinks after our heavy lunch!

Food Review : Chicago Rib House in 1 Utama

Just few days before Christmas, I was invited by the friendly people at Chicago Rib House to do a food review. And after I check out the website link in the invitation email sent to me, I can't wait to try this because it is all about porkyyyy = my favourite food in the whole wide world!!

Note : This is a non-halal post

To be honest, I did not know the existence of Chicago Rib House until I went there for the review because they just opened their 2nd branch here in 1 Utama late November (shows how long I havent been to 1 Utama) . I was told the first branch is at Penang.

As you can see from the picture and if you guess well , the restaurant is located just next to La Senza Pin-Up Store at 1st floor of 1 Utama (Rainforest section)

As I walked in the restaurant, I can see a lot of cute piggy pics on the walls! Confirm lah... a lot of porky will be served tonight!

It's a cosy yet spacious seating at this restaurant.

I like the wording at the wall - Grilld to PORK-fection!

There is a Mojito Bar at the corner of the restaurant.

Here is some drinks we ordered - fresh from the Mojito Bars!

One of it is Lychee Mojito and another one I could not remembered what is it now.



I am a milkshake person and I think I'm the only person who thinks Strawberry Milkshake is better than Mojito :P The milkshake here was not too sweet so I really like it and finish this sinful drink that night!

Before I started having my porky review, I was asked to put on the plastic napkins #likeababy

I like this napkins because I could now rib of the pork like nobody business ! As far I remembered, no restaurant in Msia I been to so far gave napkins like this & the first time I had plastic napkins like this when I was in Korea having bbq dinner.

As starter, Trio Sampler (RM32.90) was served.

Three's a company when you've got Hot Buffalo Wings, Potato Skins and Pork Chili Con Carne. It's matched with homemade Salsa dressing to really get you started.

The chicken wings is a bit salty to my liking but the spicyness makes it appetizing!


Corn chips & Pork Chili Con Carne . Onion, pepper & cheese and corn chips are the perfect match!

This potato skin covered with cheese, then topped in chives, bacon bits and served in ranch serving combination is so yummylicious. Crunchy & cheesy...

Next we are served Pork Ribs (Full Rack, Original Flavor) with 2 side dishes RM53.90

Description: Chicago's Pork Ribs are slow roasted in hickory wood to give it that tender and unique flavor that has made us world famous. Our succelent and meaty pork ribs are served with your choice of two sides of your choice.

If you like BBQ sauce then I think you will like this. But for me it is a bit sweet for my liking.

Next, we are served Pork Ribs (Full Rack, Flaming Kansas City) RM59.90 with 2 side dishes

As the named suggested, the pork ribs is was fired up with a shot of whiskey to literally let us have the ommph feel!

Below are some interesting pictures I took while the pork ribs on fire!

Pour a shot of whisky all over the pork ribs!

Staff light up the fire and the whole ribs was on FIRE!!!

It was smoking hot when it was served on us. The taste of the ribs is pretty strong with the marinated sauce and whisky. And if you are not a fan of whisky, you might prefer the original flavour.

Grilled Bourbon Chicken - RM27.90

Next we are served two grilled boneless chicken breast topped with their signature bourbon sauce and sprinkled with mixed cheese. The cheese is sinful but it is good!

The side dishes of this Grilled Bourbon Chicken can be choosen, and here the highlight of the side dish is the "western style chicken rice" as some of them claimed.

8oz. Pork Tenderloin - RM32.90

Two grilled pork tenderloin grilled till pork-fection and served with homemade Apple Cinnamon sauce.

Homemade Apple Cinnamon sauce is very refreshing taste and appetizing for my appetite. I like the way how they prepared this as I could actually taste the sweetness of the pork here :)

And I bet kids sure would love this too!

Hickory BBQ Bacon Burger - RM29.90

Description : A juicy pork burger loaded with Hickory BBQ sauce, topped with crispy bacon and cheese.

Well I must say the bacon here are so good that I can't get enough of it. It is not too fat and grilled to perfection!

A must try for all!

Besides pork , they actually served Shrimp Olio (RM32.90) for seafood lovers.

It is Fettuccine tossed with generous servings of shrimp in scampi butter. The taste of the olio is a bit tingly due to their sauce however I do appreciate the fact that they are very generous with the shrimps and the portion is big.

Finally after all the porky business, we have dessert!!!

Brownie Royale (RM12.90) was really delicious, it just feel right for me!

Caught Ah Bok aka Taufulou busy taking pictures of the food ! Haha looked at his expression, priceless!

While me, well I enjoy eating the ribs with my hands feel more delicious everytime i am ripping of the ribs!


Just before I end my review, I must show you one very interesting picture that is displayed in the restaurant. The different parts a pig that we could actually eat - but there are many parts that I don't eat.


Chicago Rib House is currently running a Christmas & New Year promotion and this would be the best time for you to try out as for RM55.90 you can choose youra main course, dessert and a mocktail!
