Another birthday dinner attended 2 weeks ago.

Venue - Secret of Louisiana @ Plaza Kelana Jaya.

(visit their website, http://www.secretoflouisiana.com for more details)

* Location Map (from the website)

My outfit for the night:-

* Black, newsboy hat (H & M)

Short-sleeved navy shirt jumpsuit (bought in Taiwan - less than rm30)

brown-rimmed specs (Esprit - had it since uni)

Here are some pics of the place:-

* Secret of Louisiana (Quoted from the website: We serve the best Cajun style seafood and steak in town)

* Lakeside dining

Since there were 8 of us, we decided to order an appetizer, some salads & a few main courses to share. This way, we can try out more foods. Basically, everyone was already starting to salivate as we flipped through the food menu. Here are our food choices for the night:-

Salads -

* Jazz Caesar Salad

*Firecracker Tataki Salmon Salad

* Cajun Chicken Salad

Appetiser -

* Mushroom thingy (one of the Specials for the day)

Main courses -

* Louisiana's Shrimps Scampi

* Rosemary Lamb Shoulder

* Salmon with Almonds

* Louisiana's Blackened Cajun Chicken

* Forgot the name of this dish (*oops*)

Sides -

* Mashed Potatoes

* French Fries

Louisiana's version of Tobasco sauce -

* Trappey's Hot Sauce (not as nice as tobasco though. plus, it's not even near to being hot)

Drinks -

* Hoegarden draft & Carlsberg

Once our tummy's are filled and while waiting for dessert time, cam-whoring session commenced (* hehe*): -

Then, it was time for everyone to bellow out the birthday song, more pics and indulging into the long awaited dessert, ice-cream cake (*yummy*).

Overall, i would give a 3.5 out of 5 for both the food and the ambience. Would definitely come back again to try out the rest of the menu. Price wise - fairly reasonable and affordable, especially since the portions served are huge, so remember not to over order and sharing is strongly recommended.

However, service wise might tend to be a bit slow though, particularly on weekends. A great, laid-back but comfy place to bring your families, friends or lovers etc..definitely a MUST VISIT!!! Oh, and it's 100% pork free (halal).

ANd.. do bear in mind, the place (Plaza Kelana Jaya) is still fairly new, opened just a few months back i think. There's only a few other restaurants available besides Secrets of Louisiana but i foresee more to come. Btw, parking is free on weekends.

Some of the must-try (from the menu) are:-

Du Monte Lamb Shank

Flame- Grilled Rack of Lamb

Garlic Fest Tenderloin

Crunchy Butter Fish

Creamy Herbs Baked Salmon

Seafood Gumbo

Jazz Green Mussel

Louisiana's Crab Cake

Gosh! My stomach is starting to growl now at the thought of all the mouth-watering dishes. So much that i haven't tried yet (*evil grin*), must go back! Oh, to those beer lovers, for happy hour, 2 jugs of Carlsberg only cost rm60 and Hoegarden draft is available as well as Budweiser etc. Wine, all kinds of liquor and cocktails are also available (*wink*). So, what are you waiting for???
