As any fan of "Lilo & Stitch" can inform you, Ohana means "family" _ the perfect name for this commendably friendly outlet, where a Hawaiian theme takes center stage in the setting.
The type of salad that an island resort might serve, featuring roast chicken with tomatoes, capsicum, lettuce & mayonnaise dressing. Forgettable, without the extra spark to elevate it.
Can't fault the burger, which comprised a meaty beef patty with all the typical toppings, but can't praise it much either, since there are more satisfying ones elsewhere.
Skip the cliched chicken-&-pineapple pizzas & say aloha to this one instead, topped with salmon & black olives. Yummier than expected, with a perfectly crisp thin crust & a zesty tomato sauce that tasted fresh instead of artificial.
No wine is sold (since this outlet caters mainly to students), but beer is available.
Passion fruit green tea & hazelnut chocolate frappes. Could be richer & creamier.
Customers can laze outside with a sweeping view of Taylor's Lakeside Campus.
Ohana,
The Boardwalk, Taylor's Lakeside Campus, Subang Jaya.
LOL .. no wine serve coz mainly r student?
ReplyDeleteNowadays more students prefer red wine ...
Nice place and good for hangout especially d youngster...
Simple Person: heh, that's true! some wine can be cheaper than premium beer. and i guess students who are old enough to drink beer can also drink wine :D
DeleteWow, what brings you here?
ReplyDeleteMichelle: the lakeside! it's really serene in the early evening, when the students are starting to leave. there's a nice vibe here that makes me feel good =)
DeleteIs it me or did ur posting times change again? Makes it harder for me to stalk u lar...hahaha =)
ReplyDeleteUlric: heh, u're absolutely right. Just experimenting with different posting times this week. But will probably revert to the regular time by the end of the week =)
DeleteYou only ordered so little food? Or these just your appetizers? LOL
ReplyDeleteCK: oi, got one big pizza, one big burger, one big salad, sudah cukup lah! :D
DeleteHaha I also like stalking your blog at midnight! ;P
ReplyDeleteBaby sumo: haha, and I also like scheduling my posts for midnight. Will have one more daytime post tomorrow, and then will probably revert to midnight on Friday onwards =)
DeleteHaving sore throat now. The Corona Extra is what I need...
ReplyDeleteSmitten by Food: yikes, get well soon! though gosh, i'm not sure that beer would be a remedy ;)
DeleteOh I have never had salmon in pizza! Oh Sean I know I keep saying this but you're lucky to have tasted very delicious foods.
ReplyDeleteI would certainly enjoy my time at this restaurant. I'm surprised the salad doesn't include pineapple
Rad: heheh, what could be more hawaiian than pineapples, rite. but luckily, the pizza had pineapple :D
DeleteI would put up with mediocre food for a view of the Lakeside! It's nice that the restaurants actually stay open after classes are over don't you think?
ReplyDeleteDropsofcontentment: oh yeah, but i wish the restaurants here would open on sundays too! i think many of them close on weekends, but that's a shame for us, since parking here is difficult during weekdays =)
DeleteWas at Taylor's over the weekend and it is such a nice campus. Kinda reminded me of Bond in Australia if it had just a little bit more landscape.
ReplyDeleteOhana sounds (and looks) like a good chill out place for students and office folks who don't want to join the mad jam nearby. For college grub, this is actually quite good. Have seen worse ones.
Missyblurkit: ooh, ya, i haven't been to many private college campuses in KL, but i do like the landscape at taylor's :D and yeah, during my campus days in USM penang, we never had pizza! (or beer, heheh) :D
Deletefood seems mediocre but the population of students here will sustain it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, has there been any outlet which actually closed down here?
Thenomadgourmand: good question! i have no idea though. but i assume that Chatime at Taylor's probably does really well! heheh :D
DeleteI like a good water view. Shame the food's not worth traveling for.
ReplyDeleteThe Yum List: yeah, the lakeside ambiance is the only real attraction in this area :D
DeleteActually, props to the novelty of the theme - Hawaiian (apart from maligned chicken & pineapple pizza) hasn't really been exploited by the local F&B scene here and I'd imagine the cuisine would go down really well with us!
ReplyDeleteMin: true! i guess many of us will never have the opportunity to visit hawaii, so we need hawaii to come to us! :D
DeleteI ter-read Obama at first. But I bet there are plenty of student eye candy to go with the Hawaiian cuisine! ;)
ReplyDeleteKenny: obama would be an interesting name for a restaurant :D hmmm, and all the students are of legal age! (since i know you're particular about that) :P
Deletelooks like you have been deported to Hawaii. But they should serve more pineapple dishes? hehe
ReplyDeleteEiling: i'd LOVE to be deported to hawaii! forever, if possible! :D
