Party with Glenmorangie’s SOUNDFORM Fluid bar @ Vertigo, The Gardens

24/04/2012 No Comments

Last weekend, I was packed with events and one of the cool event is that I party with the rest at Glenmorangie event Glenmorangie’s SOUNDFORM Fluid bar is Designed by Philip Michael Wolfson that are being display atNorth Atrium of The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City. The night just doesnt stop there with Glenmorangie Single Malt Tasting then followed by a after party at Nero, Vertigo featuring Manufactured Superstars (USA).

They said I pose too normal, then ask me to do something other than normal and this is how I end up.

Sticking myself at the board. :p

With Emeryn that a blogger that had been missing in action for very long time.

Heading to the main area, we were greeted with many glasses and bottles of Glenmorangie with water or soda mixture. I have always prefer mine with water which is the best pairing for single malt or on the rocks.

One of the section that I cant wait to go into is the Single Malt tasting section.

That is featuring 3 different types of Glenmorangie Single malt with The Original, Lasanta and Astar.

Glenmorangie single malt whisky: Featuring 7 unique varieties, 3 of which are from the brand’s famed Extra Matured Range. Start from The Original that’s what we had for tonight, The Lasanta (taste: Deliciously sweet sherry flavoured sultanas, orange segments, walnuts and butterscotch combine to create complex warm spices. ), The Quinta Ruban (taste: Mint chocolate and walnuts envelop the palate like velvet, laying the foundations for rose, Turkish delight and sweet Seville oranges.), The Nectar D’ Or (taste: Ginger, nutmeg and toasted almonds bring a deep, warming taste interwoven with a syrupy lemon meringue and honeycomb middle). The Extra Matured Range – Astar, The Glenmorangie 18 years old and Signet.

All of us having fun and learn how to enjoy these great single malts.

This is the Glenmorangie’s SOUNDFORM Fluid bar which is Designed by Philip Michael Wolfson that will be there from 11th April to 1st May 2012 being display atNorth Atrium of The Gardens Mall.

Bandung Street Food Part 1

01/02/2011 No Comments

I travel to Bandung last month and alot of my friends told me that town is not only famous for factory outlet is also a food paradise. I felt that there is like Penang where Bandung Street Food is also one of a must to do. Most of their hawker on the street are very nice. Simple just dip into one of the road side hawker then get the taste of it. Our first stop for the day while we were shopping at Dago area, we try out Durian Ice Cream which cost RM3.50 for a cup with durian meat in there.

A few scoop of ice cream. . .

and add on their local brand Indomilk Susu Kental Manis Cokelat and carnation on the topings.

The ice-cream is soft and it taste like the one I had when I was a kid, not too sweet and the durian meat flavour was not strong enough as I like. . .Overall its quite a good catch for RM3.50. . . You can just find it any where along most of the streets . ..

As we walk further up nearby Citibank there are a few Warong located next to the bank and we were already very hungry as walk n shop the whole morning. . . try out de Robi Batagor with Kuah Kering. . .

Indo version of fried wanton and fried taufu mix along with peanut sauce and sweet sauce. Freshly fried dip with the sauce is not bad lah` ID 6500 . ..

Usually in Indonesia, Baso is one of the food that I would not miss. I just love their chili that added into the soup.

The ingredient steam first then added their very own style of soup.

This is Baso Soup with Bee Hoon and Mee added. Added with lots of their chili to make the whole bowl spicy in taste. Just that this soup sold by this guy did not meet my expecatation.

Then head to next area while we were shopping at House of Mode, Setiabudi area. . We try out ES Campur Special that added many ingredient inside like coconut, sago jelly, cincau, lychee and some others. To me, if it is less sweet abit then it would be perfect.

Next to House of Mode, Batagor Riri is one of the stall that highly recommended by a few blogger from Indonesia. Batagor means (Fried Taufu) which is originate from Bandung and it had been so famous till spread to many places in Bandung.

As the lady saw me doing some photoshoot, the offer let me take pic of the taufu before fried.

This is after freshly fried and you must eat it while it is hot. Fried Taufu and Siew Mai squeeze with lime and a bit add on with the stall special chili, is just nice, crispy on the edge and the peanut sauce is thick and nice.

Then when we saw a Warung filled with many people which is the Mie Ayam Pangsit Special.

Its is filled with half bowl of soup and chili sauce with another type of local special sauce to add in the kick of it and after mix it till all the chili coated onto the mee as what others do. . .The noodle is a bit springy and for a local taste like that I would say it taste pretty good for just ID 5000.

Next to it Den Han Klappertaart is another one of a famous brand in Bandung.

A few flavour is available.

Use bread to baked with huge slices of coconut yet have to eat it warm as if eating custard.

This street snacks I had it at Setiabudi (next to House of Mode) . . .

Part 2 of street food is coming soon .. .

Not Just a Good Food Guide

01/06/2010 No Comments

One of the hope for local F&B industry that one day a publisher will come out with a book for food guide that I did own one when I was in Melbourne, that every time me and my housemate have no idea of what to eat, the food surely comes handy as the recommended food in the book never fail to impress. My version was Cheap Food Guide by The Age year 2005 and they have a few versions of it, one which is Good Food Guide.

I am very happy that recently I get to know that actually we have a local author with a passion to eat and that she was actually involve in hotel management, that is where she began to fall in love with food and since then have been a food hunter and become a blogger since year 2005 ( jommakan.blogspot.com ) and with her compilation throughout the year, she is the author of a new book that recommending all the nice food around KL area, Not Only a Good Food Guide.

Her new book are available now in most of the bookstores in town that cost around RM42 per book, that will comes in handy to hunt for food.

And not until yesterday night, we manage to catch up with the author herself which is very warm and passionate to food, of course as a foodie, her signature is a must in the new book that I just got.

Oyster King @ The Gardens

17/11/2009 No Comments

Oyster King had been one of the latest additions to the miniature stall in The Gardens. Without getting invites from Coco (thank you), I did not even realize that there is a stall around there. Despite of the name, you can guess that something that they cook would involve oyster. Being a fan of small small oyster surely I am up for this. I just cannot take big juicy oyster like what have been offering at Japanese or Seafood buffet.

I was there early and it was the usual few that we always had the outing together and Coco is arranging with the owner for us to occupied the place. As the time pass, more and more people showed up and this is my very first review that we had so many blogger at one shot, so stim, till to the extend we occupied 90% of the place. Then we were like alamak, how she going to do business la~

This place not only offer ala cart, but they do offer in set meals.

I just love the clip so cute and hoping and silently thinking to plot steal it back.

It didn’t took long for the owner to prepare all the food.

If you are a big fan of ‘Fried Oyster’ as known as ‘Oo Chien’ (Hokkien) back in my hometown Pg, then you MUST NOT miss this. I have not eaten fried oyster for ages yet still hunting for it. Well fried till some sides of the egg are crispy, a lil spicy and sour that makes the taste blend in well topping up with fresh oyster in the end is something we keep eating. I ate 3 plates of this charge at RM6 per plate. Recommended~

‘Fried Carrot Cake’ that had always been one of my favorite too when I was young, remembered when I was young watch the street movie theater and eat this and rojak. Still wonders does it still happen now. I prefer the carrot cake to chopped into smaller pieces and add on more garlic but this is as good as it taste. Fried with wok hei, and the pieces are cook evenly. RM5

‘Teow Chew Fried Noodle’ RM6

‘Wun Chai Ko’

‘Pumpkin Cake’ RM5

‘Dried Oyster Glutinous Rice’ RM6

A friendly host like Ms.Joan is hard to find. Thanks for hosting us~

Towards end of the meal, Sidney plan to give Wilson another surprise so he went to buy a cake and Racheal being the person that have to hold and walk with the cake.

This is the Birthday boi~ Wilson..

What I heard from him last night, they are getting married next year. Congrats lei~

Kechara Oasis New Age Vegetarian Cuisine @ Jaya One, PJ

22/10/2009 No Comments

Today was a special day, suddenly a person treat us to eat. So happily we search for a nice Vegetarian restaurant to eat. While browsing through, then my friend was looking through at a list of restaurant and ask me to check with her and suddenly I saw this name, Kechana which I remember a few blogger had review on this place before. So quickly check it out and yes, it was the place that they have review before, so we have make our decision to go there. Kekek

Review the catch, was today, our Director suddenly said want to treat us for lunch, so we were a bit shock and surprise but what the heck just go la.

After reach and park that place, while walking there and near towards the entrance as I walked quite fast then I overheard this, ‘Wah…!!! This place gonna cost me how much?’ got replied by, not that expensive only la. Reasonable.

After reach and park that place, while walking there and near towards the entrance as I walked quite fast then I overheard this, ‘Wah…!!! This place gonna cost me how much?’ got replied by, not that expensive only la. Reasonable.

Sorry that there is no picture of this place and the food its because my director is there. So better skip this action and keep a low profile.

I like the place and interior, a very comfortable place to dine for a dinner and I can say, it’s the most classy place I have ever been for a Vegetarian Restaurant. Once reach lunch time, the crowd start to flock in, filled in the place quite fasts.

While looking at the menu, they do offer daily set lunch with a very reasonable price. Then we choose the Wednesday Set Menu cost RM119++ if I am not mistaken.

It served with ‘Goose Meat’, oh~ one of my favourite that I would not miss during this season. So far this is the best I have eaten. Well fried and dry up which you eat its not juicy(with oil) yet covers with ‘fu chuk’ taste as it is suppose to be. A lil crispy on the skin which is just nice.

‘Toufu Mince Meat’ is a great companion with a bowl of rice, with a lil spicy as the gravy base and the dish is well fried.

‘Sweet and Sour Pork’ which we enjoy it a lot, as it taste as good as eating the real one. A bit solid and chewy and wasn’t too sweet and sour. Just the right taste level.

‘Butter Mushroom’ is the best compare to the rest. It taste like fried squid on the first bite. A well prepared soft fried on the mushroom yet preserving the taste of it, covers with a very fragrance butter dressing on top of it. Highly Recommended.

‘Vegetable’ was something pretty normal, nothing much to brag about.

We did order extra ‘Mutton Curry’ as recommended by the waiter and its consider one of their signature dish. I would say again, one of the best too during my Vegetable hunting so far. Mild, with soft juicy tender mutton look and taste alike. A great dish for meal opener.

As I feel the body heat pilling inside me, so I decided to order take away ‘Gui Ling Gao’ for tea and guest what. It is the most expensive thing that I have ever come across. RM7.50 for a size of baby’s palm size which you can finish it in one mouth or bite. Nothing special too.

The total bill cost RM180. After a few days of eating, this would be one of the restaurant that I would recommended but with the price of course slightly higher but with the quality they are serving, I do not mind as its hard to find nice vegetarian dish or restaurant.
