Upperstar, well, I've been to the Lintas b...hi! Upperstar, well, I've been to the Lintas branch and the city branch, never been to the Damai one before; all in all I've dine at Upperstar 3 times. I wouldn't say that Upperstar food was bad, though I admit that their grill salmon was not up to my expectations; I did enjoy dining there. I also like their drinks, and my friends are totally crazy for their mango juice. I just have a question to the author of this blog, not to be judgmental, just a curiosity question, as to why is it a 'no-no' if there are peas in Carbonara pasta?? 'Cause as far as I know, yes, traditional Carbonara do not have peas in them, but in other Anglo/Franco variations of Carbonara do include them or broccoli, or other vegetables for color, which is a quite common thing to do in all sorts of recipes around the world (I meant the color adding so as not to confuse anyone). So, why shouldn't there be peas in Carbonara??Linsaretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834591764703019847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-40678070575631574472011-03-11T07:42:58.396+08:002011-03-11T07:42:58.396+08:00finnegan: you stood up for chai? i am amazed at yo...finnegan: you stood up for chai? i am amazed at your guts.lol. seriously i think you are arrogant and rude and you owe me an apology for coming here and accusing me of my own opinion when i make it clear tt everyone's opinion is welcome and i don't moderate comments which is what most bloggers do. i am very happy that you aren't coming back to this blog so do stay off.<br /><br />and about how i critic my reviews, this is my style. i do not believe in free meals (and i do get offers, here, kl and singapore) but i don't take up the offers bc i don't want to cloud my judgement. i don't make money or favors from reviews so i can be honest. and i certainly will not be one of those bloggers out there who report that every meal is "good" and "not bad".<br /><br /><br />you are prolly related to upperstar ppl so i can understand your huffing bc you can't take the truth. lots of ppl can't take the truth bc if you look at the comments, the majority of ppl don't think much of upperstar's food n go there for the drinks. those who do, like you, have different standards hahaha.<br /><br />goodbye. finnegan. o neill indeed.terri@adailyobsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027727551942336449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-5947932689717428102011-03-11T07:41:11.354+08:002011-03-11T07:41:11.354+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.terri@adailyobsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027727551942336449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-76259952564247221512011-03-11T02:38:12.862+08:002011-03-11T02:38:12.862+08:00I didn't "use" any of your blog cont...I didn't "use" any of your blog content, nothing is guaranteed to be published yet.<br /><br />I was amazed by the various responses on this entry that I "forwarded it" to another food review media (like recommending a blog to another blog)<br /><br />It's up to them whether they want to feature your blog or not. <br /><br />If they do actually want feature your blog, then of course appropriate credit will be given to you as well as a link back to your blog. But after reading your response I doubt they will feature this blog, so you don't have to worry. Nobody is going to steal anything from your blog, actually I do acknowledge the effort and time you have put in this blog. If you are paranoid other people might simply use your blog material, then I suggest making this blog as a private blog to invited readers. <br /><br />Anyway, my apologies for the misunderstanding. In fact, I did manage to dine in Upperstar, both in Damai and Lintas and enjoy my food. So your assumption is definitely wrong. <br /><br />And I'm glad I stood up for Chai. He/She was just giving his/her honest opinion that he/she enjoyed Upperstar food. <br /><br />Like any other parents, I bet Chai knows what best for his/her daughter without other people telling him/her off about his/her child nutrition or health. What you said was indeed rude, and I think Chai will absolutely appreciate your apology (if he/she still following this blog).<br /><br />BTW, the purpose of my food review/research is to promote on various media of the topic of Good Etiquette in Food Blogging to all food bloggers out there. <br /><br />Even if a food is that bad, there is a thin line between constructive criticism and a company business defamation. <br /><br />Anyway, that's all from me. I won't be following this blog anymore, so you don't have to response to my comment. I think it will just make things murkier than it is.<br /><br />Thank you.Finnegannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-62513108782586139662011-03-11T00:31:54.632+08:002011-03-11T00:31:54.632+08:00'Upperstar's nasi lemak, although bad, was...'Upperstar's nasi lemak, although bad, was still better than AirAsia's.'<br /><br />wahahaha WAHAHHA WAHHAHAHAHAHAHA<br /><br />thank you terri for your humour and wit. and thank you for holding up the standards in KK. surely we deserve better food than what's offered in Upperstar!<br /><br />When I think of Upperstar, I think of fried stale fishballs and fries.

I used to be read your blog a lot and this really surprise me. People have different taste bud, what bad for you maybe taste wonderfully fantastic to them. <br /><br />For example some people may said fried roach is a bad food but to others it maybe their supple diet. Same goes with Durian. Western people often said it smell like a rotten flesh but to us, the smell is wonderful. <br /><br />I have read all the comments in this entry. What started off as a food critics slowly becomes "who's right and who's wrong". I wonder what Upperstar will think of this? <br /><br />Are you saying all those people who flock to Upperstar has terrible taste in food? I doubt. I have read other food reviews and most are satisfied with the food served there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-3298862286730266372010-11-07T23:45:53.417+08:002010-11-07T23:45:53.417+08:00chai:

"hey, it's western" "hey, it's got pictures of rock stars on the wall, like TGI" well. i think ppl who have better taste in food n standards will never like the food in upperstar. <br /><br />and you shdn't be feeding your daughter such bad food--she deserves better. unless tt's your standard. too bad for you n family if so.terri@adailyobsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027727551942336449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-6054084948389485772010-11-07T21:55:31.761+08:002010-11-07T21:55:31.761+08:00weell, a man's food may be another's p...weell, a man's food may be another's poison BUT I can tell you it's really popular and crowded and I've been there just yesterday for lunch . I had nasi lemak king (RM 6.90) and my daughther had butered chicken rice. My taste buds are just like anyone's else. I would say the food is good, and the price is very, very reasonable, service is good and ofcourse the beer is cheap. I can't ask for more. Keep it up and I will return for more. I guess those bad coments could be jealous and from other food outlets.So don't take at heart . The best review is the crowd that you get every day.

But I have to say that I find it rather interesting how you can be so judgmental about my mum without reading through her other posts with thoroughness. My mum had good things to say about small kopitiams in KK, and bad reviews on several restaurants in China and Melb. About suggesting to her to 'migrate to any country u desired that u praise a lot in your blog', and her seemingly only wanting high-class, 5-star hotel and expensive food... I can in all honesty tell you that when it comes to dining out, a very expensive, classy restaurant is usually never on our list, unless it is a super rare occasion (like my parents' anniv.). My parents are careful when it comes to spending money. They're definitely not the showy, splurgy type. I'm sure people who know them and watch them on a day to day basis can vouch for that!<BR/><BR/>trust me, my mum can take constructive criticism very well. But if you want to be rude and mean to her, man...you're messing with the wrong woman, and her legion of supporters.<BR/><BR/>ps: Sitemeter logs IP addresses of all visitors.<BR/>;)red | hongyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946093702136231971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-25934537751335639182008-05-16T16:41:00.000+08:002008-05-16T16:41:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.red | hongyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946093702136231971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-84675592005114553102008-05-16T16:38:00.000+08:002008-05-16T16:38:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.red | hongyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946093702136231971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304437690959603870.post-22534410914138857832008-05-16T09:29:00.000+08:002008-05-16T09:29:00.000+08:00wah, i'm overwhelmed. d last time this happened wa...wah, i'm overwhelmed. d last time this happened was when anon left a comment on my supertanker post, calling me/my tastebuds dumb, n i wanted to give up blogging. i'm not making money frm this, it's just a hobby n something i enjoy doing. then with this comment, my skin got thicker n i didn't want to play nice (borrow dixie chicks' term) anymore. n now with so much defence frm u all, i realise what i'll miss r the friends who come visit this blog n i shdn't close this blog on account of one bigot chinabeng (borrow, moodie. u r prob right tt the ones who go to upperstar r the chinabengs who can't tell a pie frm a tart).<BR/><BR/>just in case i've given the msg tt differing comments to mine r not welcome, pls don't think tt! difference in opinions is not disloyalty. i welcome comments tt correct me, n i have seen comments on other posts tt r nothing but praises n i thot, it'd be nice too to get some diff comments, such as advice n suggestions on say, how to improve on a recipe. <BR/><BR/>but when ppl become abusive n tell me to migrate, tt gets more than my feather ruffled. i hate ppl who try to win an argument by throwing this : if u don't like it here, migrate lah! well, let me tell whoever again: i am not only not migrating, i want to dig my heels in n stay so that this place will be diluted with sorts like u. i want to stay put n change this place, not run away. if upperstar's food is horrid, i will say it is horrid. if our roads r bad, i'll say they r bad, if the bldgs r build oblivious of setback codes, i will point tt out too. if the PM is corrupted, i will say he is corrupted. i am sick of ppl, esp the politicians (n i was reminded of how they love to tell the minority races to migrate if they so much as complain about anything in this country) of using tt statement to anyone who dissents.<BR/><BR/>thanks to all who didn't get my throat just bc of a bad food review, n in fact supported and defended my right to say what i want to say.

More of a metaphor to express the depth of her disappointment with the food. For example, the expression "I could kill for a bar of chocolate" does not mean that literally. Please don't take it personally.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, expensive food does not necessarily weigh itself out in terms of quality. Whenever I go to Malaysia for a holiday, I always go for the cheap mamak food which costs less than RM5 and they taste great. Most of the expensive food you normally pay for are the services, ambience and perhaps location. Some are great, some aren't. As for the "last meal statement", see previous paragraph.<BR/><BR/>Thirdly, for you to make a declarative statement such as "ur comment is an insult to us, kk people" is bold. Since when did you represent the general concensus of the people living in KK? Do you think she should "lie" and give a false perception to readers on what she really thinks? Perhaps by reading this, there are some great lessons to be learnt through humility and transparency. I am sure she loves KK a lot.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, she has been bold enough to offer her time and effort providing valuable insight into her thoughts with transparency and truth, rather than masquerading something to gain the popularity of her readers.<BR/><BR/>I find that your comment lacking in thought and value as it does not serve a great purpose.
