Loving the briyani!

Korean BBQ at Gardens Mall

Go Gung Korean BBQ and Traditional Cuisine.
The best ever beef BBQ slices I have had. Good flavor and very tender.
The waiter helped to cook it for us since we weren't pro's.

Peaceful day

Tranquility. The ocean. The sky.



Somewhere along Batu Ferringhi, Penang.

Waffle..at Chequers TTDI

At Chequers Cafe..

Cucumber Cooler




The Down Home Benny has a sweet waffle with salad, poached egg, beef bacon, olives, guacamole and hollandaise sauce. The waffle is crunchy yet soft, not as soft as the japanese style waffles. The variety of flavours somehow come together very nicely.





Still going strong

Dinner time at Bubba Gump Sunway Pyramid. Still maintaining good food :)


top to bottom: Strawberry Speckled Lemonade and Alabama Sweet Smoothie, Cajun Shrimp, Bourbon Street Catch (available in fish and if you ask the waiter they can make it in chicken).

A Ladybug's Life

I think I found a yellow Ladybug walking about on the table.




Western Food Disappointment

We heard that Morganfield's in Pavillion served some really good food but we've never been there. So when we were in Sunway Pyramid and found out there was a Morganfield's there we gave it a go. The waiter informed us it has been in operation for a few months.


So we ordered an appetizer of Bacon Wrapped Meat Balls (6 deep-fried meatballs).



Bacon Wrapped Meat Balls


The two mains were the Pork Shoulder Chop (pork shoulder loin served with red skin mashed potatoes, garden vegetables and creamy mustard grain sauce) and the Tequila Spiked Prawns ( prawns marinated in spicy tequila lime-paprika marinate, served with pilaf rice and garden vegetables). In the menu, all three dishes had little stars next to them denoting they were "Oinkingly Good!".

For drinks, we ordered an Iced Latte and 100 Plus (bottomless).

100 Plus
Iced Latte



 All together, this was RM 128.00. First the drinks arrive, no complaints with the 100 Plus of course. But oddly the Iced Latte was totally sugar-free and no extra sugar was given so we requested some from the waiter, who gave us sugar syrup. The meat balls arrived, and we found them to be pretty nice. The flavour was a spicy sweetness that was to our liking. Unfortunately the mains were disappointing. The Pork Shoulder dish had plain tasting, lumpy mashed potatoes, vegetables that weren't soft and rather rubbery pork which wasn't well cooked (and resulted in a tummy upset). The Tequila Prawn dish was meh in flavour, and the vegetables were also not cooked to softness (I love well done vegetables, not the super crunchy hard ones). Considering how expensive the dishes were, this was a total let down.

Complaints were made to the waiter. He was nice enough to reduce the bill. Perhaps since this particular branch of Morganfield's is new, they haven't yet sorted out a lot of issues in running the business. But I'm thinking we won't be going there again.

Super Spicy Tom Yam Soup

Dinner at Para Thai restaurant, Mitsui Outlet Park.
The most spicy seafood tom yam soup I have ever had! Also had fishcakes,  chicken with basil, phad Thai, and sago with honeydew.  The chicken had a bit of cartilage bits mixed with the lean meat, but otherwise there was no other complaints.  Verdict: good!

New favourite breakfast meal

Tried out The Fifth Palate in Kota Damansara on a Sunday afternoon.  It was packed and so ended up in the little outdoor area, which still had a good ambiance. Orders are placed at the counter.

 From left: location of the Fifth Palate, outdoor seating looking in, the Butcher's Breakfast with ham and fried egg.


The Butcher's Breakfast (RM 29) immediately caught my eye. It comes with eggs (either scrambled, poached or fried), ham/ bacon, sausage, tater tots, portobello mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, wholemeal rye bread, some rocket and a chutney.

The meats have the best flavor and texture I have tried so far. Totally can't find any fault withthe meal, although pricier than similar dishes elsewhere.

Food was served within 15-20 minutes of placing the order,  which was really good considering how packed it was. Looking forward to trying more stuff from this place soon.

Hazy days

It seems like a never-ending problem during this time every year, the haze. It just feels like your lungs are working doubly hard.

Ended up at a cafe to get a drink to try and wash away the discomfort all this pollution has caused.


Super fulfilling breakfast

The best breakfast one could ask for! At G3 Bangsar.

Pork pizza!

Went to Legends Bar at TTDI the other day and tried out the Heaven is Pork pizza which was nice. It has a spiciness to it that is unique.

Also totally satisfying was their version of Pigs in a Blanket.

Ippudo

Liked the food and ambiance, but portions were smaller than anticipated.(note: there were 4 pieces in the picture on the right. I forgot to take a picture before eating one heheh).
