KGB (Killer Gourmet Burgers) @ Jalan Telawi, Bangsar

28/06/2013 11 Comments

After bubble milk hit hard on our local shores then what is the next buzz? Well, there are 2 actually as now little cafe’s are popping up in many corner and there are a few good ones and burger is also the next big thing here. One of the latest outlet to open its door to public is KGB (Killer Gourmet Burgers) that located the same row as Antipodean Jalan Telawi there.

Its a small shop that operating around the area that soon to be filled with many coffee joints. Started off bout less than a month if I am not mistaken and its start to gain its popularity over the neighbourhood with a few bloggeres blogged about them.

On our first visit we came it was rather dissapointed cuz we did not know the opereate only at night for the 1st month and for the following week, we decided to come back for dinner. STaff here are very helpful and friendly as they are explaining to us what to eat and try for first timer.

Menu are pretty straight forward with what types of meat you prefer and there is not much to choose from which makes us easier to make up our mind.

chicken bites are pretty good though, fried to crips and the best thing to pair with it is their special made sauce. Light sourish end that goes well with it.

Kimchi with Bulgogi Beef Fries @ RM 13.90

this is another item that attracted our attention. Looks good but the taste is still room for improvemement as we did gave our feedback to them.

If you cant take beef then this is one of the choices to go for. Seoul Chicken @ RM 15.90, find that the taste is bit funny.

on the size of the chicken breast that they are using, its quite thick, and still juicy after fried.

All their burgers come in their signature and one of the best is not only their patty is also their bun. I love it as its soft and fluffy yet toast to my likings.

The Bobcat burger @ RM15.90 made with luscious green chili slaw & jalapeno mayo. If you cant take spicy then skip this as the spicy dont hit you instantly. It comes after that. To me its still okay.

The Shack turns out to be one of my favourite in the list @ RM13.90 nett, the patty is fragrant and juicy top with a slice of cheddar cheese with Shack sauce sandwiched in the fresh, fluffy bread. I just called it Cheeze burger. One of the best in the list that wont go wrong. – Highly Recommended

The Tornado @ RM15.90 – Looks big that filled with onnion rings, fried egg and fiery mayo. I expect this to be spicy because of the word fiery mayo but didnt enlighten me with that.

I must say that the chef here are pretty good that able to make nearly all my range of burgers medium, that make it soft and juicy. All of us love it.

this is one of the special homemade sauce. Its good!

Remark: Do take not that some of the burgers are filled with sauces and it might get messy . . Do take tissue to prepare. 😀

Dai Ban Noodle @ Damansara Uptown

25/06/2013 No Comments

I am having trouble with my blog at the moment. Text and arrangement surely is not right. Hopefully can solve it soon.

Dai Ban Noodle is another new hidden joint that we recently discover, that this outlet had been operating for quite a while already. The only thing is I seldom drive pass the back area which is the Wondermilk stretch till friend mention that why not give it a try.

Food selection here is pretty interesting as the shop name noodles gave me the impression that they going to serve lots of types of noodle but its a good mixture, find that their Pan mee would be their signature.

We did quite order a number of drinks that night, with many using fresh ingredient especially passion fruit series that caught my attention with lemon and asam.

Dry chili with shrimp here is good as we just ate it like that and very aromatic to go along with noodle and not spicy. Next to it is sambal here is definately will give you extra kick as its homemade and spicy enough to make you sweat

We order some starter to start with. As this was serve, Salted Egg Squid smells very good with the trail of salted egg left along and no doubht that it taste as good as it smells. Cripsy with golden brown crust outside that fried to perfection. RM 11.90

Crunchy Prawn Roll @ RM7.90

Smoked Duck is price @ RM 8.90 and I would say its cheap. At that kind of price it give me doubht on the quality of it and the dish itself proves me wrong. The taste of smoked is strong, just the way I like it. Recommended

Dai Ban Pork Burger, find that the patty is a bit peppery as no doubt its thick and juicy top with cheese and dark charcoal bun, accompanied by the crispy golden wedges on the side. Not the best I have come across as it can be further improve on the taste. @ RM 15.90

Traditional Handmade Dai Ban Mee is one of the signature in the outlet for the handpeel series. @ RM 6.50

This is one of the dish that capture my attention instantly when I was browsing thru Claypot Pumpkin & Pork Rib Congee @ RM10.90. Serve pippin hot in claypot with golden yellow texture and I must say this is one of the winner in the outlet. Very soft and smooth congee, with little sweet end aromatic and pork ribs pairs well. – Recommended

One of the highly recommended by me would be Lemon Grass Pork Chop with Fried Rice @ RM 12.90. Pork chop cook to perfection that its not too hard yet season to fragrant and soft and they are quite generous with it as the pork chop is pretty huge. Fried rice pairs well with it. I must say its one of the simple dish I have come across.

Char Koey Teow

If you are working around the area, then this would be another place for me to recommend you. Simple, cheap and nice.

Polo Zai Bakery Cafe (菠萝仔) @ Sungai Wang

13/05/2013 No Comments

[Close Down]

Over the weekend, I was attending a Photography workshop at Bankers Club, and of course there are breaks in between. Then hit down to dinner and walk pass thru Sungai Wang to head to Lot 10 Hutong, I came across this Polo Bun Shop by the name Polo Zai Bakery Cafe. I love polo bun alot and looking at the texture of the bread surely looks tempting and decided to buy 1 after dinner to test the quality.

Guess what? After buy 1 on the first night, we ended up ta pau and buy for the next 2 days of the workshop, including last night. 😀

Some fact of Polo bun or 菠萝包 is the Hong Kong style of bun and very popular in Hong Kong. The word 菠萝 is also a Hong Kong word meaning ‘pineapple’ where the skin of the bun looks like a pineapple.

Now at Polozai Bakery Cafe, they have mastered and specialized in baking these Polo bun with 16 choices of creative and delicious flavors to choose from. I believe they are freshly baked daily to get the freshness and quality of it. You will be tempted by the smell of it although its not so strong as compare to Roti Boy.

I have tried a few flavours over the past few days. One of the original which is Polo Butter is always the classic. With the cripsy crumbs on the top and butter spread at the base/ bottom @ RM 2.80.

Next I try their Custard Polo Bun, crust is the same as the filling is custard. Find that the filling of custard is not well spread out as I bite half of the bun still there is no sign of the custard and only realize is only 1/4 of the bun, which is one of the corner.

To be adventourous, we bought alot a few flavours such as Durians. Durian turns out to be pretty good and generous with the ingredient, with the durian flesh sticking out like that, can see that they are using fresh durian to insert as the filling.

Another 2 we tapau is Cheeze and Polo Ham Sausage.

The range of their bun are from RM2.80 – RM 5 depends on which selection you are aftering. For first timer, I would definately recommend their classic signature which is the Polo Bun, follow by Custard or durian.

Overall, the crust of the top is not bad, not too sweet and bun is pretty soft. Can say that one of the best Polo Bun that I came across, in overall taste and if they are serve pippin hot or warm, it would surely be one of the top seller in Sungwai Wang.

Toh Soon Cafe 多春茶座 @ Campbell Street, Penang

23/09/2012 No Comments

One of the place that me and my friends had been talking for ages is to come to this very old classic for breakfast. It was on the long weekend when I was back to Penang and I got drag by a few of them to hunt for this place and finally we are here. Toh Soon Cafe operates in a small ally at Campbell Street that this place is one of a favourite hang out place during my grandparents time.

It was those good old times whereby you can see alot of people sitting here enjoying their coffee while reading newspaper as this place serve Hainanese breakfast, that operate by an old couple.

Cannot deny that this place is pretty well known now by many people, thanks to blog and Facebook had sligltly popularize this place. AS it is long weekend, definately you will see alot of tourist in this cafe.

Please do have patients in this cafe while waiting for your toast and coffee as it is handle by these old couple and help of friends.

Many people came here just for the classic breakfast, which is toast, steam bread, half boil egg with coffee.

Keke, you will never get to see this super classic toaster, that is modified from oil barrel burn with charcoal at the bottom as at the deepest level, there is where your bread are toast and head further up, there is where your hot water is being boiled. 2 in 1.

Toh Soon Singature drink, Kopi . .. Not so bitter compare to the others, slightly robust in coffee and I always prefer mine with milk. My friend ended up having 2 glass of this.

I still prefer mine in hot for breakfast.

another signature here I would say is their steam bun. Its soft near to cotton that spread with simple kaya and butter. Definitely they are more generous in their ingredients compare to any franchise chain.

To eat it in more classic, I usually will dip it into my kopi as taught by my grandfather. To be even more classic, you can pour your coffee onto the base plate and drink it from there.

Toast bread range:

This is one of a unique one as the bread had slight chocolate taste and toast then spread with kaya and butter. Nice.

so this is how I enjoy my simple classic breakfast over the morning. Just perfect. Nothing much to shout about as only one thing that you must not miss is their steam bread. Loving it.

Parking here can be a pain in the ass as its very limited. Therefore you can try Lorong Kampung Malabar (next to Lebuh Campbell) where there’s a lot of parking always available and just walk into the lane only about 50m away.

Best Neighborhood Burger – MyburgerLab @ Seapark, PJ

14/09/2012 No Comments

I guess the hype of burger will never cool down in blogsphere. First you have a big buzz on pork burger over the years and one of the most recent buzz is homemade American burger style. I bet many of you have read reviews about this place before, MyBurgerLab that had made a huge buzz over the blogsphere for the past 2-3 months.

After bugging from my friend and finally I decided to drop by. I thought the huge buzz of this will cool down over the months, I guess it just proof me wrong, as they have strong crowd of loyal customers and I do even have friends that go every week as their burger is just addictive according to one of them. Beware, as their operating times are very limited.

A new outlet that recently open by 3 buddies that had made burger ventures into new dimension. MyBurgerlab is like an experimental lab for them, or more like a food playground that their creative creation being put onto the menu for customers to hunt for.

I am here as early as 6.30pm on weekdays and look at the crowd. Its Crazy and people are queuing out thru the door to order their favourite burger. Some people are hunting for seats. Its a small area, I would best advise you order and make a take away.

Calling number is 77 and the order number had went up to 130. Average waiting time for your burger could take up 45minutes – 70 minutes. So be patient while waiting for your burger as if you do come here and dine, do expect to wait.

Their menu are pretty straight forward with a few choices to choose from the either Beef, Chicken or Vege.

Everything is prepare fresh from the kitchen. . . Even their charcoal bun they made themselves.

Beef A++ @ RM15

Sharp Cheddar , Caramelised Onions, Shiitake and Enoki Mushrooms

Elvis Presley is not display on their menu, order upon request. 😀

One of the best burger I have come accross that its not too dry and peanut bugger mix pretty well with the jam that create the extra umph of it.

It is advisable that treat this burger as a desert burger, as once you eat this burger, you cant really taste other burger as the taste of peanut will cover the rest of it.

Say cheese – Chicken with cheddar @ RM 11. Something light and delightful. Sure enough to satisfy you.

Beautiful Mess @ RM18

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms, Sunny Side Up, Mozarella Cheese. With the name itself, be assure that it is going to make a mess for you as you press slightly harder, the egg yolk will ooze out from the burger to make it a bit juicy moist and if do not hold it well, there goes your finger and next destination is basin to wash your hand.

This is how many burger we order for 5 pax.

I must say that burger here are damm awesome! Moist, not too hard as well prepare and every mouth bite is satisfying that the cheddar cheeze is melted on the patty with their own lab dressing, it just makes you want more. Now I understand why people are craving for it.

Personal favorite – Beautiful Mess and Elvis Presley.

Here we are with the hungry hunters, Anna, Eunice and Me.

and of course Immi, Ren and all the best to you in UK see you soon eh~

To patron this place, it is highly advisable you eat something like before you come while waiting for it and please do come before 8pm as usually it sold out before 8pm on those signature.

People do come here queue as early as 4pm right before the shop opens as they operate only at night. If you are craving for nice homemade burgers, this would be definately one of the place I am recommending as the pricing of the buger is slightly higher and I am sure many people would not mind to pay as they have its class of its own. Just by Adding additional RM5 – you will get frieds and free flow soft drinks.

Meals In Hong Kong Disneyland @ Crystal Lotus & Enchanted Garden

30/03/2012 No Comments

How can it be not to have a great meal in Hong Kong Disneyland itself, after we check in our hotel, Disney’s Hollywood Hotel, we quickly take our free bus ride from our hotel to Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel that have to make a transit change to another platform to transfer ourself to the hotel.

Upon arrival for the first time in this hotel, the decoration and architecture capture our attention and their hotel lobby is elegant Victorian style and will be greeted by two main Disney Character statue of Mickey and Minnie.

As we make our way for our first lunch of the day, we were taken to Crystal Lotus, only then I realise that its an award winning restaurant that offer outstanding cuisine from 4 districts of China, Sichuan, Beijing, Shanghai & Guangdong.

A contemporary dining experience that the place is very cosy and quite quiet even though many customers were in there.

Lets take a peek what they have for us . .

This is our lunch that being organise and all look so yummy or I should say be prepare to be drool . .

Duck Breast with Cucumber and sweetens paste, in Steam Piggy Mask Bun. This is just so cute, with the pig character on the mask bun that capture all of our attention or would say the star for the moment? 😀

Duck breast was prepare to perfection as the meat is chewy, mild in taste yet the layer of fats from skin pair with it very well. As we were saying, is 2 pieces enough for us? :p

Next we were greeted with Disney Dim Sum Platter

“Swan” Vegetarian Toro Puff that they make it creative by using beansprout to make the head of the swan. Interesting.

Steamed Mushroom and Vegetable dining

Steamed Vegetable Dumpling

Braised Seafood Soup with Mickey’s shape Pumpkinn

This seafood soup certainly make our day a great start with its excellent ingredient they have in it and I also believe they do cook some of the soup base first before cooking along the whole portion. Sweet in seafood taste, yet smooth texture of crab and prawns detected and if you do go , this is one of a highly recommended dish! Just do not add vinegar, it will spoil the freshness and taste of the whole soup.

Wok-Fried Shrimps and Disney Rot Vegetabe mix fm

Fried-Rice with Tasmanian Crabmeat stuff in whole Crab Shell

I have never seen rice being serve like that, and its a unique way to present food in this food presentation. Gold crab that the shell can be open . .kekeke ..

Rice fried to fragrant with egg which Hong Kong is famous for bake with cheeze on top and fresh crab was added in . .

Its hard not to camwhore with this cute little gold crab.

BabyVon also want to shot along .. kekek

“Duffy” steamed Red BeaN Purree Bun and Double Boiled whole Chinese Pear tapped with old mandarin.

Double boil chinese pear will be one of the unique desert I have come accross so far, did not know that pear can be double boil. The filling is soft and its like the add on something like ginseng root and I love the juice of it. Some did not like it because of the taste and I find it nice cuz its something new to me.

“Duffy” steamed Red BeaN Purree Bun too cute to be eaten. . .with the bun is soft and read bean purree had been mix well.

Cannot deny that this restaurant serve very good food and if you do visit or stay in here, do visit this restaurant as its worth trying.

Then we are ready to go into Disneyland as this are our entrance ticket.

If you are staying in this hotel then you get yourself to enjoy their huge souvenir shop, Kingdom Gifts for last minute shopping if you have miss out anything while you are in Disneyland. This will be the last big place you can get without paying any entrance fee. They have huge range of character for you to get.

Our next meal is our breakfast on the very next day. As we head back to the hotel again and I am quite surprise on what I have discover next to the buffet spread right below the hotel lobby.

This cute fun place is called The Little Princess that a room makeover for your kids. Parents gonna enjoy this and their kids will love them the most.

A little room with photography session that they will turn your cute kids even more cuter with all the costume. A few backdrop for you to choose.

Another place you must dine in when you stay in this hotel is their buffet breakfast at Enchanted Garden. One of the good reason that why you must dine in this breakfast buffet is that they have special guest appearence during the whole session of buffet which is, all of us are going to be greet by some Disney Character. Who? Find out at the end of my post .. 😀

The name of itself already make us looking forward to move into the restaurant as they have 2 sessions in this area and it is highly advise to book your slots as its usually fully book. They have first session from 7.30am – 9am, and 9.00 am to 11.30am.

Then they have the marble slab with mickey logo on fountain of water flowing ..

I love the whole ambiance of the area as they decorated it like a big indoor garden dining area .. .

Even on its outdoor, I wish to sit here as that morning it was pretty cold and windy just as I like but not many people love that kind of weather so opted to be seated in . . .

They have great range of selection for your breakfast and I believe before you enter theme park and you have a very heavy breakfast, could last you till end of the day . .:p It doesnt work on me tho . .

I always enjoy my heavy breakfast buffet with western style, toast bread, yogurt, fruits and sunny side up . .Cereal with milk is the way how I get my day kick start off ..

This is what I mean with special appearance of Disney Character that will be rooming around the restaurant for you to take pictures with them. One of the advantage is that you cut alot of long queue in the Disneyland whereby we can take it here fast and quick yet can chase after them for picture opportunity like other kids. . :p

All set, satisfied and ready to play all day long in Disneyland. .

Let it all begin as the morning begins with a chill weather of 18 celcious which is just perfect for jeans and t-shirt. . 😀 all walking so fast as cant wait to put our feet in it.

So check it out on Disneyland (click here)
