Those Secret Recipe people harboured a secret. To open a chain of health food places that specialise in meatless menu. The Beyond Veggie restaurants are now up and running with several outlets in Klang Valley.

Photographed here is their Spaghetti Carbonara with shiitake (and other) mushrooms. The vegetarian noodles tasted like white Penang Hokkien Mee but is delicious. Most dishes are a bit pricey but portions are generous. I love this cafe at Oasis Square for the al fresco dining experience by the lovely fountain pool.

Scallop Americana – Scallops and pasta sautéed with capsicums and black pepper to make a rather spicy dish. The Manhattan Fish Market restaurants have expanded its menu since I last dine in one. Somehow I missed the simpler and bigger servings from the early days. Everywhere, dory fish don’t taste like dory fish any more.

My OM-D EM-5 is being repaired. The LCD screen smashed and the mode dial faulty. The viewfinder rubber eye-cup needs replacement for the 4th time. So it goes in for a much needed service and firmware updates. You never know when you need a backup camera, all of a sudden. My trusty and tiny Panasonic LX-5 acted as stand-in here and it performed admirably well, as expected.
