Tea Break at Pavilion

Tired from walking at Pavilion, we decided to find a nice, cosy place to take a break.

Spotted this luxurious looking restaurant and we immediately decided to have a tea break there. The service was very good and the waitresses were very polite. Although Emperor Q is a chinese restaurant, it also offers japanese dishes but most of them are more expensive than japanese restaurant.

Iced green tea latte (RM 7.50) was a mixture of green tea and milk. This drink was thick like ice blended coffee. 3.25/5

I opted ice macha with caramel (RM 8.50). As it was not as thick as iced green tea latte, it was more refreshing and perfectly quenched my thirst. 3.5/5

You can order desserts from MOF Japanese Sweets & Coffee (just opposite the restaurant) at Emperor Q because they are under the same chain of restaurants.

Chewy Junior

Chewy Junior is a chain of cafes originated from Singapore. They always have free cream puffs for the passers-by to try which I enjoy very much. Hehe.

I decided to try on the go (RM 6.50) (not sure of its name but its stated like this on the receipt) with vanilla cream filling and chocolate dressing. The vanilla cream filling tasted like ice cream due to the low temperature at the surrounding. Unlike doughnuts, the dough of cream puffs were harder and crispy. Chewy cream puffs were also baked rather than fried and were much healthier. 2.5/5

When The East Meets The West

Pasta Zanmai is a restaurant that serves japanese and western fusion food. When I first heard of this, I wasn't interested because I didn't really think that salmon or unagi could go well with pasta. As I had good experience at Sushi Zanmai (Pasta Zanmai and Sushi Zanmai are a chain of restaurants owned by SuperSushi Group), I wanted to give it a try.

The ambience was quite comfortable, as expected from a japanese restaurant. Just like Sushi Zanmai, you could enjoy the scenery of the chefs preparing dishes behind the glass wall.

My friend opted for Goma Soft Shell Crab (RM 23.00). You could choose set meal (RM 26.00) which includes a bowl of miso soup and salad. The crab was a bit overdid and the thick creamy sauce was a bit too salty. Overrall, the dish was acceptable. 3.25/5


I had Unagi Onsen Pizza (RM 26.00). It had crispy thin crust with unagi, seaweed and teriyaki sauce as toppings. You are suppose to break the partially cooked egg in the middle of the pizza so that the yellowish-orange yolk would spread around the pizza. I prefer to dip the pizza into the yolk before eating it. I gave this dish a thumb up!!! 4.5/5


I found Milky Green Tea (RM 8.00) was unexpectedly good as I'm not really fond of iced-blended green tea. The blended milk green tea was topped with sweet red bean paste and 'sinful' whipped cream. The milk flavor overpowered green tea flavor. This drink was excellent overrall. 3.75/5


If you would like to try unique and delectable food, I highly recommend Pasta Zanmai.
