Food hunting that I have come across so far~

Flakes @ The Hub SS2, PJ

by Taufulou 19/09/2020

The Hub in SS2 seems to be the new flock of F&B joint with tons of cafe are now fully operating in this new area that creating a long beelines among your favourite cafe. I have read quite a few reviews on Flakes in The Hub SS2 and decided to give it a try.

This is one of a cafe in PJ that famous for is their croissant. Their sweet series seems to be quite tempting.

Under this new norm, it took us 30 minutes to get a spot here over the weekend.

It is full house, and it is quite noisy where the ceiling is low and no carpet in between. So be prepare to talk louder than another table. weekdays will be peaceful here.

Try one of their sweet series – Pistachio. RM 9 if not mistaken

It seems that their signature is avocado and egg mash. Nothing to shout about, where you can just grab a croissant of the shelf and make it at home. RM 23 if not mistaken

For their pulled beef series and caramelize, onion is also the same. (RM 18 if not mistaken)

Both 3 of the croissant is not flaky as many written out there and also quite disappointing. It is bad to read reviews that create high expectation and come out with disappointment.

Overall that I find the croissant series is so so only over the hype that had been created. Not flaky, fragrant and seems like bake twice. It could be not my choice of croissant and of course to many of you out there. this place is out for me.

Marrybrown SOS BBQ Series

by Taufulou 14/09/2020

written by Taufulou

Since I have encounter with our very own local homegrown brand Marrybrown, I personally find that they have gotten so much better with their seasonal menu. With the last launch of Marrybrown Salted Egg Yolk which is so good and now, with their latest seasonal Marrybrown SOS BBQ Series.

This SOS with a mission to satisfy the taste buds of millions of Malaysians with their delicious Sensasi Ohsem Smokey (S.O.S) BBQ Meals from 21 August till 5 October 2020!

These come in three different combo selections. You may opt with:

S.O.S BBQ Burger combo meal
S.O.S BBQ Drumette combo meal
S.O.S BBQ Box combo meal (S.O.S BBQ Burger, S.O.S BBQ Drumette with the well-loved MB Crispy Chicken, and Potato Wedges.)

Combo’s come with Potato Wedges, crispy Onion Rings and a glass of soft drink.

After tried the 3 combinations, I got a bit greedy and my personal recommendation is the S.O.S BBQ Box combo meal (S.O.S BBQ Burger, S.O.S BBQ Drumette with the well-loved MB Crispy Chicken, and Potato Wedges.). The box have all the meat that I want. Just a perfect combo box!

If you think that you would just want to try this BBQ SOS series out, then my recommendation will be S.O.S BBQ Drumette combo meal. You will be surprised with the flavour as I do. Never thought that I would get hook to the flavour. Love the mild smoky bbq aroma taste which is not too overpowering. Drumlets are fried to perfection, with sos sauce well coated onto the chicken. Do not need any sauce as 1 drumette per bite is satisfying!

Last is the S.O.S BBQ Burger combo meal. Charcoal bun with juicy fried chicken patty and topped with the sos sauce.

Indeed one of the series that caught off my attention for its taste. Loving it. You guys should give it a try too. I enjoy my meal at Marrybrown Citta Mall.

Food Fusion Golden Triangle Italian Food K.L Location Non-Halal

Pizzeria Dihyang @ Jalan Yap Ah Shak, KL

by Taufulou 11/09/2020

written by Taufulou

While heading to Tapestry for coffee, then at the turning of the corner saw this new shop Pizzeria Dihyang at Jalan Yap Ah Shak, KL seems to be pretty good. Decided to try them out.

While walking in without any expectation in this slightly luxury interior for a pizza place. While walking in, you are greeting by the friendly manager and I observe there are 4 working floor staff. Immedinately knows that this place won’t be cheap.

Only then now I found out as I write this post, as they are grounded authentically in Naples’ art of pizzaiuolo in sourthern Italy. I believe is a place run by a couple who is the owner as the maker of the pizza, helm at the pizza making station.

Chosen this place also because of its pizza pit that I am suspecting using wood fire, which I am correct.

Of course a pizza dining experience in this ambience must pair with wine or beer. They do have Italian beer series Menabrea Italia.

Each pizza is handcrafted by the chef himself which does not come in a proper round mould, that defines as art upon serving.

A pizza that I ordered and could not recap back the name. As they are using bar code scanning digital menu. The Pizza I ordered is about RM 85- RM 90 if I remember correctly.

It is a thin dough pizza. Soft, not the usual crips you enjoy. Ingredient used is alright.

Summary its more like a Fine dine pizza place for me. Maybe worth to give it a shot once? As on that day of my dining, there are a lot of ex-pats in there.

It is not bad, just that the price to pay for a pizza is slightly above my budget.

Food K.L KL area Location Others PJ Selangor

An Viet @ Paradigm

by Taufulou 09/09/2020

written by Taufulou

Those who been to Vientnam and tried pho there, you will ended up start to crave for it. To find a nice bowl of pho is indeed quite hard in Malaysia. Is like finding the best Ramen in KL. However, one of the shop that I frequently visit is An Viet, the Gardens. They also recently expanded to An Viet, Pardigm Mall, PJ.

As re-opening of the outlet, we get to see a showcase how their signature meatball is made by their Vietnamese Head chef.

Some of the ingredients to showcase what ingredients are used for their soup base. They also use premium raw ribeye beef.

In their menu, you get to choose your noodle size. Usual serving is Normal. You can go less or you can go to large.

Not being adventurous yet want to try something signature on the menu, you can kick it off with An Viet Tasting Platter or you can order ala-carte appetizers to pair with your main dishes.

My usual bowl of noodle is always the mix. Serve with beef slices, meatballs and brisket.

For paradigm outlet, they do have their mini green house. Which usually they do have a pot of basil leaves set on each table, however in this outlet is you can pick the pot and bring it to your table.

The beef slices usually are cook half raw, as when you dip into the piping hot soup, then it will be just perfectly cooked.

For only beef slices noodle, you get to taste their soup more prominent.

the half cook raw beef. Just perfect.

We end the meal with their signature Vietffogato. Vietnamese coffee with coconut milk and ice cream. One of my favourite.

Caramel Pudding.
