Kiku Zakura & Alexis Bistro @ GE Mall Ampang

Yup, we met up again on Friday night for dinner and drinks. But this time it wasn't me who organize the outing. It was Ah Pao. He had ask quite a number of friends to go but in the end turn out only 4 of us but still we enjoyed the night. Actually should be 5 of us but as usual Pang Yew the Fei Kei Yau ffk again. Butt, Tracy and I went to Great Eastern Mall early for some shopping and dinner. We decide to try out the newly renovated Japanese cuisine Kiku Zakura. Remembered the last time there, the food was good. This time though the price has increased maybe due to their renovation. But sadly, the food was not up to our expectation. The sukiyaki broth was too sweet and my chicken teriyaki was deeply fried. Might not return unless their standard rises back to what it use to be.

Then at about 9.40pm, Ah Pao arrived and off we went to Alexis Bistro located on the ground floor. I have always wanted to go there for a long time but did get to do so. Now I was excited. As we're walking into the premises, we bonk into my cousin. He is there too with his girlfriend. What a coincidence. Anyway, we were lucky to grab a good table with a view of the stage. Yes, every Friday and Saturday night, they have live Jazz performance. Heard from reviews, it is always fully packed with Jazz fans and it was. At about 10pm, all tables were taken up. Ah Pao who had not taken his dinner ordered the Fish & Chips and was pleased with it. We also order a bottle of white wine. We normally will not order white wine as we don't like it but somehow we want to try again and again it failed to sastisfy us. Should had order the red wine instead. Tracy ordered a Nutty Chocolate cake and it was very very nice indeed. Sharp at 10.30pm, the band starts to perform. The band was called Gruv Avenue. Some of the songs they played was good and some were just so so but the crowd seems to be happy. After gulping down the white, we happily ordered a red. Ah... so much better. Then the waiter came over with another bottle of red wine. He told us that my cousin had paid for the bottle and wanted us to enjoy it. Aiyah... should have waited for another 10 minutes then we will save money for the red wine we ordered... Hahaha.... We had great chats that night and the party ended at about 12.30am with a bottle of red wine in my hand!
