20/07/2013 No Comments

In the holy month, there are of course many restaurant taking this opportunity to run a promotion. One of a late discovery for me that I just realize, Bali Hai had open in Kota Damansara for nearly a year now. This is pretty well known brand for many Penangnites for its fresh seafood that available in the stretch of Gurney Drive. I often dine there, and till last week only found out about this place. Many people have mix reaction on their food quality. I still trust them my trust for fresh seafood.

-No longer in operation-

Many of you that stay nearby would known this place is Asia Café.

Now the whole outlet had converted to another Bali Hai version in KL. The whole interior and exterior is exactly like the branch in Penang.

All their seafood are served fresh, that you can even choose your favorite seafood from their tank, to show you that the seafood that being cook is still alive and kicking.

If you do not like your seafood to be fried, there is an option of BBQ.

For month of Ramadan, they also running special package such as buy 2 free 1 @ RM 98 net per pax for you to enjoy on their seafood. They serve their seafood fresh daily with slightly different type of cooking style. .

BBQed Japanese Sama Fish is awesome, well marinated and dip along with chef special chili is just perfect. I ended up with 2 fish. 😀

Belacan Fried Squid, Shrimp with Chili Padi, Deep Fried Crispy Squid, Black Pepper Lamb

Clams & Hot, Spicy Mussels & Spicy Crab

Some classic traditional kuih being serve too . .

Fresh gigantic oyster are being serve along too.

Squid with Pattaya Sauce

Deep Fried Battered Prawns

A giant platter of Cheese Baked Oysters

See how big the oyster is. Nearly as big as my palm & fingers.

Deep Fried Crispy Chicken with Thai Sauce

Lamb Chops with BBQ sauce

Grilled Skewered Prawns

Enjoy their seafood as the taste is nearly the same as the one in Penang. Seafood is definitely fresh and now I know where to find nice seafood. Find that their price is pretty reasonable. Not only that, as for the holy month:

Plates & Bottles serve Nice Chinese food @ U8, Shah Alam,

19/07/2012 No Comments

Hidden in this huge new shopping mall U8, there is one humble Non-Halal outlet that operate around the premises will sure make you return again and again. Well, in Shah Alam its pretty hard to get a Non-Halal outlet and I guess many of the factory worker around the area will be very happy to patron this outlet as they serve excellent good food.

Plates which is the back part of the restaurant that serve Oriental cuisine and where is Bottles? right in front. . .

This is where the dining area for Plates are more towards homey style decor that provides comfortable dining experience

Weeet weet, its assign seating and here is my logo. .cute~

Here are the menu for Plates and I must say the price are very reasonable or more towards cheap side!

Here you go, Bottles as the front side of the restaurant that offers customers after dining experience for a place to chill that serve their very own cocktail and bottle beers available with pool table for you to play around.

As for Bottles they are serving different types of food as more towards western and finger food to suits your beer palates or jovial mood in drinking.

Bottle beers that are available . . .

Homebrew Chrysanthemum tea. .

Follow by their drinks:

1) Berry Banana Yogurt RM19

2) Banana Mango RM15

3) Sweet Sunrise & Tornado Twist (RM 9 each)

4) Shirley Temple, Virgin Mary, Long Walk, on the beach. (RM12 each)

Lets head for the first appetizer and when it was serve it create alot of curiousity among all of us, as we were guessing is it Pau? then turns out to be Mashed Potato @ RM6.90. Its unique in taste as they add some spices in it.

For Mushroom Soup lover and you love it thick and creamy, then I would suggest that this is amust order soup. Its quite thick and dense with blended mushroom in it. @ RM7.90

We started off with oriental cuisine and first to arrive on our table is Drunken Prawns. By smelling the aroma of it, we are already half drunk and cant wait to dip our fork and soup by having sip of the soup base. Aroma of the rice wine is just perfect that trails along our nose. Strong with herbs taste with chinese wine at the end is just perfect with rice and prawns were fresh! @ RM16.90

One dish that surpise us is that we thought that Honey Chicken is quite a normal dish, and turns out to be that it was cook to perfection that its moist and very well caramelize on the meat with sprinkle of sesame seed. A bowl of rice is perfect companion. RM11.90

Made from scratch as first made from soy grinding then mold it and deep fried. –Homemade Tofu @ RM9.90

Curry Pork @ RM10.90

Sambal belacan with ‘4 types of Vege’ that have long beans, ladies finger(okra), petai (stinky beans) and egg plant(brinjal). Another dish that fried to perfection with ‘wok hei’ and did not over fry it. Taste is quite solid and by eating it like that, it definitely will give you more towards saltiness and spicy. @ RM9.90

Salted Fish Pork Belly 咸魚花腩 (ham yu fa lam) @ RM10.90. A well balance dish with hint of sweet, spicy ,salty, cook along with thin slice pork belly is something you would not want to miss. Highly recommended!

Something that I used to cook alot in college days is Braised pork belly Fried Meehun @ RM7.90. Something delicious and simple. Its another nice dish to hunt for in here.

Spaghetti Meatballs @ RM15.90. Meatballs that made in house is something special, not solid yet pan fried by inside meat still moist and juicy with hint of herbs and black pepper detected. Spaghetti is al dante and creamy enough to my liking. After that they serve only the meatballs and it was gone instant seconds.

Something light, you can opt for Grilled Chicken Spaghetti Pesto @ RM15.90

I would say the burger is a bargain that serve along with thick Pork pattie melted with a slice of cheeze and I just love mine spread with mustard, to pair it up well. Pork Burger @ RM15.90

Another bargain hunter is big slab of Pork Chop that being pan grill till moist and eat along with the special made gravy is just nice. @ RM16.90

It had been long time I did not eat this already ‘Herbal Jelly Egg’ as my grandma used to make this. Its chill and refreshing yet not too sweet. A nice way to close our meal.

I must say if you are looking for nice NON-HALAL meal around Shah Alam, this shop definitely a recommended Chinese restaurant in Shah Alam as the food is good and price definitely is reasonable. .
