Solaris @ Mont Kiara and SOHO KL

Solaris @ Mont Kiara is the latest addition to the commercial supply in Mont Kiara region. It comprises rows of ground floor shops with office floors above and the
office suite towers of SOHO KL with two levels of retail space.

 How Solaris looks like during the day..pic from the 
Solaris  website

Looks busy and bustling
Many restaurants, cafés and pubs are scattered around the six streets in this commercial area while retail space in the SOHO KL are mainly tenanted by
restaurant operators.
So,we went there at night with Big Bro and Nancy
when they called to meet up for dinner.
 And looked for a place to dine
We walked around a little bit
It may look bustling,
but was actually quite pedestiran friendly with lots of paved sidewalk
and railings, railguards at the side for the safety of pedestrians
Eldest bro and youngest bro.....a span of more than a decade
between their ages
 Lots of choices to pick for dinner
 Euro Deli...Meatworks
 Thai Culinary delights
Bali Food....
Finally we chose Chinese cuisine
at Peking Duck @Solaris
 Peking Duck Malaysian Style served with only one bamboo steamer of  crepe, one plate of sauce
and one dish of parsely...the rest of the meat was fried in their signature noodle dish (not shown here).
Big Bro and Nancy are visiting from US
 Very pleasant dining at the sidewalk terrace
 You can watch the world go by

They will be leaving the next day
The Peking Duck was unceremoniously dumped in front of us and comes with only one wrapping: crepe and one garnish: chinese parsley and only one sauce: the brown sweet sauce!!
Sorry!!
I have been pampered by Johor Bahru Peking Duck and Hong Kong Peking Duck which were both delicious and they cut the duck in front of you and serve it to you with a variety of wrappings, sauces and different garnishes!  Then, you can have the option of taking the bones home or have it cooked in soup or fried with noodles. See the Hongkong Caho Yang Peking Duck experience here with my niece So So:

Claypot tofu with crabmeat 
 Where they stayed for that night
 21st floor
Do you prefer this high-rise concrete jungle
or this low rise where you can
claim a patch of earth to
cultivate your secret garden?
You do not need a smart card to enter 
through glass walled security enhanced foyers.
