Lately, hubby has developed a new favourite weekend hangout spot — Pavilion Damansara Heights. This fairly new mall, which opened its doors in October 2023, is a breath of fresh air compared to the hustle and bustle of Mid Valley Megamall, Pavillion Bukit Jalil, or 1 Utama. It’s quiet, uncrowded, and surprisingly relaxing, even on Sundays.
That’s precisely why he loves it.
Free parking on Sundays, minimal crowds, no waiting in line
at eateries — it’s becoming our little Sunday sanctuary. In fact, we were there
two Sundays in a row!
Sunday #1: Goose, Pork & Prawn Wantans
Last Sunday, hubby decided to bring us (MIL and I) to try Hong
Kong Roasted Goose King, the only restaurant in the mall that was fully packed
while most other eateries were calm and quiet. I’m not a fan of duck, goose, or
anything with webbed feet, but hubby and MIL absolutely love them.
Hubby ordered a quarter roasted goose, along with cha siu, siew
yoke (roast pork), wanton mee with plump prawn wantons, double-boiled choy kon
tong (dried veggie soup), and pork porridge. I must say, the food was
impressive. My favourite was definitely the rich, flavourful double-boiled soup
— loaded with ingredients and full of depth. The wanton noodles were springy
and smooth, and the prawn wantons were fresh and juicy. It was a well-balanced,
satisfying lunch for the three of us.
Sunday #2: Ramen, Shopping & Cake
This Sunday, the trio was slightly different — it was Sherilyn,
hubby, and me. Deciding on where to eat took longer than expected. We walked
around the mall for a good 15–20 minutes, checking out menus and discussing
options. In the end, Sherilyn chose Aori Ramen, a Japanese restaurant specialising
in ramen.
The menu was simple, with limited but focused ramen
options. We each ordered a bowl, priced at RM38 per bowl, and added a few
sides. While the ramen was tasty, we all agreed that Bankara Ramen (which has
an outlet at Pavilion KL) is still our favourite. Thankfully, we spotted a sign
— Bankara Ramen will be opening soon at Phase II of Pavilion Damansara Heights!
Something to look forward to in future.
After lunch, Sherilyn and I dropped by Guardian Pharmacy to
stock up on toiletries. Hubby, on the other hand, had his eye on dessert. He
led us to Artelier Coffee, where he enjoyed his usual latte and a slice of
Basque burnt cheesecake — the perfect end to a satisfying meal.
As usual, Cass couldn’t join us as she was still at Sunway
Pyramid, cheering on her teammates and attending the closing ceremony of Skate
Malaysia 2025. Alycia was also busy, working her weekend at her part-time café
job.
Even though the whole family couldn’t be together, I still
cherish these little moments of food, family, and calm amidst the chaos of
daily life. Pavilion Damansara Heights is slowly becoming our go-to spot — and
with Bankara Ramen coming soon, I suspect we’ll be spending even more Sundays
there!
Lunch at Aori Ramen today.
