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.

plates n bottles (16)

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

plates n bottles (17)

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

plates n bottles (18)

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

plates n bottles (19)

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

plates n bottles (27)

Curry Pork @ RM10.90

plates n bottles (21)

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

plates n bottles (23)

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!

plates n bottles (24)

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.

plates n bottles (22)

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.

plates n bottles (20)

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

plates n bottles (25)

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

plates n bottles (26)

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

plates n bottles (28)

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.

Bangkok Trip Day 3 – Part 3: Pattaya

5 Comments

Bangkok Trip – After spending 2 hours at Pattaya Floating Market, then we are heading down to Pattaya town to further discover the place. . .

bkk day 3 (1)

So the driver told us that this temple is very nice and decided to drop us here for a quick prayer and we did also with some donations.

bkk day 3 (2)

bkk day 3 (3)

Further inside the city its like super long beach covers along with night entertainment which I will put inside another posting (so do watch out)

bkk day 3 (4)

Last time I remember I came accross a blog that there is a new mall opening and with huge open air concept area for F&B outlets by the beach side facing the sea and I could not remember what is that mall called already. Regreted didnt key it down and we ended up in this new mall Central Festival at Pattaya which is the Largest beachfront lifestyle mall Shopping Mall in Asia.

bkk day 3 (5)

Very nice Interior and well design mall, easy to walk around ..

bkk day 3 (6)

Best of all they have like indoor weekend market style ..

bkk day 3 (7)

After a quick walk, we were very hungry and head out, manage to peek outside the mall that they have a street of kopitiam style food and we quickly head there to hunt for food. There are about 9 stalls side by side and one of the stalls that attracted us in is PORK LEG!

bkk day 3 (8)

They are hot, thirsty and hungry . .

bkk day 3 (9)

this is the super star that makes us choose this stall that comes to Thai must not miss Pork Leg

bkk day 3 (10)

This is the most sinfull of all yet one of the best!!!

bkk day 3 (11)

we ordered one stripe of fried pork as I choose myself what part I wanted and its super crispy, the meat is soft and dip along with their own homemade sauce is superb! A MUST HAVE!

bkk day 3 (12)

Then followed by Pork leg, braised till meat is soft, pork skin near to melt in mouth and add in their own gravy to make it more moist.

bkk day 3 (13)

Tomyam seafood as we find that the different taste of Pattaya cooking style and Bangkok cooking style as Pattaya taste of soup heading  more sweet and sour not too spicy. .

bkk day 3 (15)

Tomyam pork definitely taste much better compare to the seafood one.

bkk day 3 (14)

Fried Omelet that is drench in oil yet very aromatic and we add on a bit chili sauce to perfected it. .It was indeed a satisfying meal . .

bkk day 3 (16)

As everyone is very satisfied now, we head to the beach area to take a peak as we have very limited time in Pattaya .. .

bkk day 3 (17)

Feels like I am at Batu Ferringi just that they have lots of beach umbrella side by side .. .

bkk day 3 (18)

bkk day 3 (19)

bkk day 3 (20)

bkk day 3 (21)

AS the weather is killing us, all of them want to head back to the mall then only we saw superb architecture of Hilton hotel that overlook the beach front which is inside the Central Festival Mall.

bkk day 3 (22)

bkk day 3 (23)

bkk day 3 (24)

Savadeekap with mr.MacD

bkk day 3 (25)

bkk day 3 (26)

One of the thing I realize is that this little desert stall is every where in Bangkok and also even in Pattaya, Ice Monster, that I often saw alot people queuing for it. As this round we nearly melt from the weather outside, we decided to try out by enjoying the mall air condition.

bkk day 3 (27)

Under customize section, you can get to choose the ice and toppings you want as we are lazy to choose we choose the one in the menu.

bkk day 3 (28)

bkk day 3 (29)

bkk day 3 (30)

bkk day 3 (31)

Overall, we didnt really like the desert as find it a bit too sweet to our liking, very milky and the texture is more like Ice Kacang ice based top with some fruits and milk/ chocolate syrup.

New Menu at Mum’s Seafood Noodle @ The Strand Kota Damansara

No Comments

If you miss home cook food, The Strand Kota Damansara do have one home cook food is pretty good which I had blog before (click here). Now, with their dishes getting popular and with quality of food that they cook are without MSG has extended their menu for more choices. Mum’s Seafood Noodle

Mums (1)

Mum’s Seafood Noodle @ RM 13.80, RM18.80 for special

Imagine the taste of the soup when it is cook with abalone slices, fish fillet, squids, prawns, bamboo clams & 珍珠鲍贝, the taste of the soup is definately sweet and aromatic with the KL version, a bit milky. I always prefer my noodle with bee hoon.

Mums (3)

Bean Paste Steamed Garoupa @ Market Price

Mums (2)

For a person who love steam fish, then you would want to order this special black bean sauce that had been slightly modified by them. It is perfectly to go along with rice, with a bit sweet sour taste and the best is they added some pork lard onto the sauce that makes it very aromatic.

Mums (6)

Stuffed Squid @ RM 18.80  stuff with solid minced prawns & pork braised in premium soy sauce been cook perfectly that makes it skin a bit chewy and the ingredient in it is soft.

Mums (7)

Pork lover like me, would not miss their ‘Lor Bak’, they do not use mince pork but use strips of it to be added into and wrap it finely, so that after fried, the skin could attach onto the meat also marinate with 5 spices  herbs.  RM 9.80

Mums (8)

One of my favourite dish for the night is ‘Salted Egg Yolk Fish Head’ that had been fried perfectly crispy then cook along with salted egg, coated all over the skin makes it a bit salty, crispy and I could just finish this by myself.              RM 16.80

Mums (9)

When go for fried or home cook food, it will never be complete for me without ordering any curry. ‘Curry Fish Head’, mild curry that is just right to go along with rice. I banjir my rice with this curry.

Mums (10)

I never really like petai, but this dish ‘Petai Prawns‘ cook along with big juicy prawns, onions and petai, as they have tone down the taste of petai which is not that strong. This dish was gone in 30seconds. Some of them also don even manage to taste but just get to smell. RM 15.80

Mums (11)

‘Jiuhu Char’ is one of the dish that must order. Cook till its a bit juicy and crispy with bangkuang, to eat it, can either eat it just like that or the best is to wrap it with lettuce add some sambal on top to add in the extra kick. RM 10.80

Mums (12)

Nyonya Chicken are cook by using kampung chicken, therefore the taste of it is more nice that cook along with some spices that comes out with thick in gravy coated on the chicken. RM 16.80

Mums (13)

Asam Fish @ Market Price, sour and spicy gravy with soft fish meat is something to look forward to make it more appetizing.

Mums (14)

Acar that taste sour and spicy.

Mums (15)

Fried Roasted Pork, first bite you will find it delicious, 2nd bite eat it raw like that you will start to find it salty, as this dish are meant to eat along with rice.

It was another satisfying meal at Mum’s Seafood.

Betty’s Midwest Kitchen @ Aman Suria, PJ

No Comments

I guess recently that I notice, a lot of Non-Halal restaurant start mushrooming especially in serving pork burger. Therefore for all the pork lovers out there, you surely would not want to miss this, one of the latest crave that we got introduce is Betty’s Midwest Kitchen which is located in the heart of Aman Suria. We got here directly after a photo shoot outing at Recreation Park at TTDI.

Midwest kitchen served homey cook food by serving pork ribs, chicken sandwich, classical burgers which are simple yet delicious.

I just love how they decorate the restaurant with very American and porky feel, with a piggy cartoon pictures on the wall

Midwest Kitchen (9)

I love the design of the menu, with cartoony and cute designs, surprisingly is that the pricing is reasonable compare any other restaurants.

  Thomas Kamper Root Beer @RM5.50 per bottle

We were very hot and sweaty from the outing in the morning and craving for coke to cool down, then the waitress introduce us the root beer, without hesitation I just order because never heard of the brand before and the waitress said it is good.

Surprisingly I love the taste of it, its quite gassy and very refreshing that suits my current condition on that time. It taste like sarsi cross over with coke to get that kind of flavor, I ended up order another bottle.

Midwest Kitchen (16)

House Salad @RM8

For girls plan to go on diet, they healthy range would be their homemade salad top with fresh crisp apple tumble with home dressing.

Midwest Kitchen (17)

Pulled Pork Burger @RM12 – burger with the slow roasted and shredded pork and braised in special sauce

One of their porky burger range is serve with finely chopped pork in their home made sauce end with chunks of onions slip in between 2 slices of fine toast burger bread. The taste is awesome, not very salty as I love mine with add in mustard.

 

Midwest Kitchen (19)

“Dog Food” Gravy Fries @ RM7.50

When Ken mention this is a must have food, I said lets go for it and when he tell me the name of the food I curse him and when I look at the menu, seriously the name is Dog food. This is by far one of the best dish that I come across, that soak in sea of homemade sauce bake with a slice of cheeze. I kept eating till Ken said, Oi.. please leave some mercy, don finish it by yourself. – Recommended!

 

Midwest Kitchen (21)

Classical Meatloaf @RM15 – The meatloaf was made out of mince meat and vegetable

If you are looking at something off the menu that we do not get to dine in any other restaurant, then this would be one of the choice. Finely prepared and the catch is with the additional beer sauce that is given and must pour in it to get the flavour up, another recommended dish~

Midwest Kitchen (22)

Grilled Soft Ribs @RM25.50

Season well with sauces and grill till the meat is soft on the meat that one bite pull, the whole chunk of meat come off together.

Midwest Kitchen (23)

Hog Wild @ RM33 – A combination of the virginia ham steak, brats and bacon with mash potatoes, coleslaw in special sauce.

On that day, we were lucky as fathers day was last week and they have this special dish up just for two days, which is usually only available during Christmas. The trick is they do not always get very nice ingredient and its not cheap according to the lady boss therefore she recommend us to try it out.

With her recommendation, it never fail to impress us with the strong taste of ham steak that one bite, the flavor burst into whole mouth and its soft, chewy and thin layer of fats in between just melt in the tongue. If a beer was served on that day, could not be even more perfect.

Now, you guys have to wait till Christmas season to enjoy this special dish.

Midwest Kitchen (24)

Pan Fried Pork Chop with Country Gravy @ RM20

Grill the pork is soft, juicy and tender shower by homemade sauce with some black paper and I just love their mash potato.

Midwest Kitchen (25)

Forgot what is the name of this.

At the end of the meal, we were all very full, satisfy and feel so lazy to drive back. This shop of course is a Non-Halal Restaurant but surely I will be back for more for its price, quality and ambience.

Surely its a recommended restaurant by me~
