Full House @ NZX, Ara Damansara
To celebrate a friend’s birthday, a group of us make our move to NZX @ Ara Damansara. Tucked in at a rather obscure place (to me, who has never been to Ara Damansara), most fine it quite a hassle to get here. Calls from friends asking for directions keep coming in and it was until one hour later that everyone was here. Instead of being grumpy and angry, our friends who arrived late were pretty amused by the first sight that greeted them – an apartment like restaurant.
Each section of the restaurant is decorated to resemble the different spaces like bedroom, bathroom, courtyard, etc. Most of the décor pieces are available for sales. One can choose from the closets full of clothes, portrait frames, key chains, to the potted plants, the canopy bed drape and the hanging crystal chandelier.
Full House is particularly the most crowded place in NZX, one reason for that is almost certainly its relaxed atmosphere and wallet friendly meals. Did I tell you that the menu with comic strips was exceptionally cute too? Unlike the extensive drinks list, main courses are limited where we were left with only 5 to 6 items each on the Asian Menu and Western Menu.

I tend to think that most themed restaurants would rely on hype and glitz rather than good food. It comes to my surprise when the food was by no means a dreadful meal, but much of it was mediocre and acceptable, with more rooms for improvement.

If you post this, we couldn’t tell if this was a restaurant outlet or a fashion house. Looking at the decorations outside, it doesn’t look like an eating outlet also… but then walk further in… voila!!! We see FOODDDDD!!!!!! hahahaha
the food presentation was also quite good… really a food art.. but then for TuaPui hor…. inside the stomach, don’t care art or not… most important is ciak eh pah…!!! heheh

typo error.. too happy to see the food

I was there yesterday!!!
No doubt the environment is soo good, products sold there are CHEAP too!!! The owner might not have expected the business to be so good, my best advise is to get MORE staff ASAP!!! RESCUE pleassssssss…..
I was given menu only after sitting 20 mins there..my patient was still there coz i was busy taking photos…foods were served half cold, and without cuttery set… there the SCARY parts come, the waiter has handed me a pot tea cup with someone left her kiss there!!! LIPSTICK STAIN…omg!!!

I just went to the KL branch in Jalan YKS. It was the worst dining experience I have every had in my life.
1. I go there and they sit us in a small square table when we have 7 pax.
2. When we asked them to bring us another table, they totally ignored us and told us to wait. (20 mins)
3. When the food came, the orders were wrong.
4. When my drink came, there was a bug in the straw.
5. My orders took 1 hour to arrive, my friends had already finished eating their food… AND desert!
6. The bill that came was wrong again.
7. it took the cashier another 20 mins to change it, even that was because I had to stand right uin front of him before he was willing to solve my bill.
8. He didn’t even bother to apologize or even give me back the correct change!!
From today onwards, I will call the restaurant “fullhouse” as “fuckhouse”. I hope your restaurant burns down soon. Cheers

[...] Deco – really English-like.. makes me think of English afternoon teas with scones, dainty cakes and delicate teaware. That night it was err.. full house (pun intended ;p) and we couldn’t even get a seat. So I made it a point to come again on Sun afternoon, and this pic was taken then. not so packed… After securing a seat, I immediately rattled off my order (having decided the night before!) and was informed that mains are served from 6pm onwards only. Aiyahh.. I was already hungry, and needed something substantial to fill me up quick. They ran out of Tiramisu too, (on a Sunday??!) so I hopped over to my next choice. Guess FullHouse will have to wait. No worries: Good reviews and pics to share here: she,the epicurious gal kampungboycitygal [...]
