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).

 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).

Durian creme brulee...

If you are a lover of durian fruit and you live in Adelaide, then head to 116, Flinders Street Adelaise SA. The Second Floor Lounge (Facebook page) serves desserts such as Durain Creme Brulee, Durian Eton Mess, and Durian Parfait. If you aren't much of a durian fan, then there are other desserts such as Strawberry Pandan Waffle and Summer Parfait to name a few.

Hogs Breath Cafe

Just some pictures of dishes from the Hogs Breath Cafe. Everything we tried was good, from the drinks to the mains and finally dessert.


3 Little Pigs - orange, apple, cranberry juices and Grenadine ice blended












Fruitastic - one Banana, mashes mango and pineapple and orange juices







For starters and appetizers, the Hog Tail Fries and Monterey Cheese Sticks are a good way to begin a meal.

 Hog Tail Fries

Monterey Cheese Sticks

The cheese sticks come with jalapeno jelly as a dip, and it goes extremely well with the cheese. Definitely recommended!



Aussie Prime Rib

Garlic Prawn Rib

 
Chicken And Rib Combo

Both the prime rib dishes were excellent, the meat was soft, juicy and full of flavor. The chicken and rib combo was also good although it would be best to order it with a sauce as only the ribs are coated with sauce while the chicken pieces are not.



Hoggies Rocky Road Sundae

Finally the dessert was enormous! 8 scoops ice cream on top of chocolate mud cake, chocolate sauce and toppings. Best to share with 2 or more people, unless you have a high sweet tolerance!
