All you can Eat, ShabuShi Restaurant @ MBK Mall, Bangkok

29/02/2012 9 Comments

On the 6th Day which is another shopping day request by the Girls, so we cancel all our sightseeing and spend our time mostly in the prime area for malls and the first stop for the day was MBK mall that we spend 5 hours there, from 10am – 3pm.. So walk around as everyone is very hungry and and saw this irresistible deal. Eat all you Can at ShabuShi Restaurant.

Had a quick breakfast in the morning and as all of them shop till forgot the time and stomach start growling, all of us start to hunt for food till we come over to this floor on the exit side we saw this sign – EAT all you CAn buffet.. every one say..go eat this one, damm hungry.. cow also can eat.. So we went in, and was request to use the front entrance. . .

Shabushi is a Restaurant offering Japanese Shabu shabu and Sushi for customers to enjoy at a very cheap rate I would say.

When we reach the front entrance, we were like OMG..so many ppl..siau eh~ and took our number, was told to wait 1 hour to come back, so we went to continue shopping and came back an hour after that.

Its a crowd mixture and one of the main thing that attracted so many people was the price of the buffet which is quite cheap. If I am not mistaken it is about 250 bhat nett per pax (if I remember it correctly) with given 90min/120 mins to dine.

We storm into the place and quickly place all our things on the table and start to attack on the food as given such a short time frame.

They have sushi bar counter seating or group seating with conveyor belt offering all fresh steamboat ingredients.

Many types of drinks available. . .they also have desert corner which I forgot to took a picture of it. .

These 2 cha boh attack on sushi counter very fast, with offering of lots of sushi and even salmon fish head also available.

Sushi counter

fried counter

Lok lok corner

At the conveyor belt. . .offering lots of fresh meat, marinated, slice lamb, pork and a few more. .

Our soup was clear soup and spicy that taste pretty good though

Tatt and Steven was taking care of our dining table and by the time we went back to our table, it is already full of ingredients waiting to be pour in.

This piece of meat is good with marinated sauce and corn in it. .

This is how pack our table is. . . The best part is on the conveyor belt, the chef was standing there and we were the last table on the corner and whenever he put new ingredients, we took all of it and till a certain time, he got piss off cuz other customer could not enjoy it and he went to the front to put all the new ingredient…kekekek~

This is how we eat our steamboat with Malaysian Culture and every one that walk pass by our table, look at us like dinosaur, as our eating steamboat habit is definately different compare to the rest of the people there.

Then after dining, Goft only told us that this is one of a famous Japanese steamboat buffet in the mall that attracted alot people go. If got chance when you are in Bangkok and would want to try something different, try out this Shabushi, value worth and the ingredients are all fresh and good! – REcommended!!

we had a very satisfying lunch that last us till late dinner. 😀

One thing is that you cannot compare the pricing and quality to Malaysia restaurant cuz they enjoy lesser taxes and that’s how Thailand industry grow so well ..

Maja House @ Bandung

11/02/2011 No Comments

When I look through what to do during at night in Bandung on the net, there are actually nothing much as I know that I have friends there that they will bring me to the best of the places that available in Bandung. Maja House at Bandung. Of course different people like different kind of environment, one of the place that I came across that suggested by many people of its sunset view overlook a huge paddy field, then my friend told me that they will bring me to a new place which just operate last year which turns out to be one of their favourite hang out place.

Maja House which is located on the east side of West Java (if I am not mistaken) as the road travel to this area is nearby my homestay located at Dago area, it is only about 20-30 minutes ride from there. Actually the distance is near just that the road condition is not that good, that’s why it takes a while to reach a destination.

A restaurant that located at the peak of the hill which there are not only 1 restaurant available, there are quite a number of restaurant around the area. Just that my friend told me this is more famous.

When we reach, I was like… Woahhhh .. . so nice. . it looks more like a huge mansion converted into a restaurant with hits multiple staircase to climb up that really force you a bit to exercise. 😀

The first level that we come accross locate this very huge dining area that accomodate only a not many table at this huge space with lights brightly shine in the area.

As we climb futher up, we reach the top level of the restaurant and I certainly agree 100% on this quote that ‘If a Man Keeps telling you He loves you over and Over again, Then Something is Wrong’. *Like

My jaw drop so big when I See the top level of the area. It is so hugeeeee and so comfy to be seated in this such great weather~ chill as on the night it was around 18 degree. . .. I was wearing short and t-shirt just perfect to my favourite weather.

The have a huge long dining table area with sofa and on the back of this wall. . ..

Located this huge seating area with sofa bed style along the strech at the end, which is perfect for people who do not like to be seated outdoor yet like a bit of wind, then here would just be perfect.

Walked accross this mini bridge, we reach another huge area. . . .

Reached this very nice wooden style bar, that makes me think of a game in Facebook how I decorated my bar to my likings. The bar tender was very nice and friendly.

Behind this wall, locate a huge dining area which is perfect to host private party that I think can accomodate up to 100 pax. . . Then I choose to sit outdoor and want to soak myself into this sofa, enjoy this chill weather and my view and my crazy new friends .. .

The view might not be so perfect but this place certainly is a blast~

Food here is not cheap as you know, located up at the peak of the hill, you sure would expect to dip a little deeper into your wallet for such environment. The price range from ID10,000 to ID150,000. Depends on your order.

First order was someone trying to go diet so they order salad. It was very green when it served, suprise with how it taste when they mix it all in.

Comes next saled which is not much green, with meat of course, find that the meat is a bit soggy.

This drink turns out a bit too sweet for me.

Then here comes my drink, peanut milk shake, which is very thick in flavour and I quite like it. As I remember for the first time my best friend’s sister did it for me to drink. .. then I start to love this combination but some find it very filling.

Next is this Ribs, is highly recommended by me if you do dine here. Very soft till like the whole meat going to fall off from the bone just like that and it was well marinated and cook. I just wish the whole place there is more ribs instead of rice.

‘Tenderloin Mozarella’ RP 56,500 Steak in medium well, was well prepared with more like a slice of cheese baked on top with its side gravy to dip along a bit of sour and bitter turns out to be quite unique.

‘Sup Buntot Goreng’ @ RP 47,500 is mild in taste and nothing much to boast about.

this is one of a great desert to end with,’Green Tea Ice cream with deep fried sliced apple’ that comes in a set. The fried slices apple is to dip along with the smooth green tea ice cream that makes it a perfect combination.

Indo Auntie and Malay Auntie . ..

Here ends our first stop of the night and there are 2 more stops to go that has a very unique style of dining. Sure you will be impress. Wait and look out for more.

Its a great place to drop by if you do have time . . . . This place not only is up for dining, for clubbers, they do host a serious of special invites internation DJ to blast you off. . . Do check out at their blogspot for series of special invites Internation DJ spinning in da house.

Recommended Middle East Food, AL Diafah @ Sri Petaling, Part 1

23/04/2009 No Comments

For the first time I have to skip my posting that I MUST post this up first. Was very impress with the restaurant, and also the people from Egypt.

I got very very surprise that in Sri Petaling, there is actually 1 nice Arab restaurant here. Well, if you are nearby here, surely this shop will caught your attention as can consider one of the most good looking shop here during at night. Have to come here is because of company VIP client from Egypt that requested want to dine Arab food. So this is where my ah tau have arrange.

What I mean handsome of course by its outlook more yeng than any of the shops beside la..

When you walk in you will saw this miniature camel on the bottom left then house on top of it and also house next to the top right and of course the antique or signature look of Arab dining accessories.

There is 2 ways you can go up to the restaurant. 1. would be the Lift. 2.Exercise-climbing up the stairs. So I decided to do option 2 cuz I was impress by their own interior decoration full with wall painting, vase, tea pot like the Ali Baba style.. What I could not find is the Gennie in the bottle look thing. Sure I do would like to have my 3 wishes and were walking up you already got 50% of Arab feeling.

When I reached the restaurant I was like wowwww…in my heart. What a nice place that they had change the whole shop to be. All the walls full with different kind of utensils, kitchenware and others.

Alot of collection around the area whereby you can just walk around and look if there is not customer on their respective table. When I arrive I am still able to do that.

It was quite empty during that day, but as it is getting late the crowd start to pour in but most of the customer are from Middle East. The ambiance is surely good.

I don know what is this called but just took a pic as it was just right beside me.

Then of course all of the dining table is full with this tea pot. It is something very unique and to pour the water you have to push the top tip down in order to be able to let the water flow out. Something like a gun, you have to lift up the pin in order to shoot. Was wondering am I able to bring that pot back.

This is the menu which suits with the restaurant ambiances.

Looking at the menu, I look at the pictures to judge what food I want to eat for the night. It seems like everything is yummy and the choices is alot.

So we start off the night with our drinks which is from top left to right

Aden Tea : taste more like teh halia. Nothing special. so RM10 for this.
Mix Fruit : Did not taste cuz was ordered by the Egyptians RM10

Ice Lemon Tea: uniquely from left is the sugar syrup, then next is the lemonade juice and only reach the pot of Ice Tea. It is for you to mix and match your own style of the taste. Be a mini table bar tender for the night. RM 10 for this.

Carrot Juice: is normal carrot juice. Nothing special RM10

There are another 4 more drinks that they ordered which is more unique that they recommend but I cant just go there and took all the pic because it was company VIP client. So just can took what is around me.

When I first stare at this it looks more like a bun to me but it is what they said high premium bread which I think its Pita Bread, compare to what they had in their home country. We were taught how to eat this with the rest of the entree on the table.

The first lesson of the night was to peal the pita bread then make it like a V shape in order for us to dip into the entree and hook some of the sauce up with the ingredient so that you can get to taste more of it.

Instead of what I always do is peel, then just deep and hantam the rest of it like a hungry person.

So end up all our meals were ordered by the Egyptian as they recommend what is good and famous back in their home country. So we just follow the flow for the night.

Start the first entree for the night. At first glance, I thought it was a tuna spread but turns out to be a ‘Baba Ghanough‘ its a mixture of don know what in there but it taste real good when you eat it with the bun you would want a second piece. RM12

ahhh…haaa..This really looks like yogurt. It is some kind of cream which I do not know what it is just eat accordingly. It is also to eat along with the bread. ‘Tahina Sauce’ RM5

All time not my favourite ‘Pickled Vegetable’ RM5 each. I have try my best on tasting it but still yucks!

‘Lentil Soup’ RM 8 Do not have a chance to try this as it was one of the client who ordered it.Haih…

This is what I called the Arab Karipop.. It is actually ‘Sambosa Lamb’ RM10

This is what it looks like on the inside, were very nicely chopped into very mini pieces and while you eat it, you can just taste the lamb taste very nice and perfect with the Tahina sauce given. Due to limited pieces I could not have 2.

To me this is more like a mixture of self mix of everything. It is a bit cold but the taste a bit spicy, sour and mild good to eat with rice as side dish or with pita bread. Taste someting like we used to eat when we took nasi Briyani but of course taste much better.

‘Mixed Vege Chicken Tagen‘. A very unique pot they have come along with it but the best thing is after so many donkey years that I left high school science lab and at last I get to see it again a ‘Pununu Buncen‘ was there burning to make sure that the dish is kept warm and abit boiling.

It taste more like a Minestrone Soup. Just that the taste in it not as strong as that. It is mild. The texture of the soup is not too thick and too watery. Eat perfectly good with pita bread or with the Al-Diafah rice. I was enjoying my dish with both ways and also recommend my friend to try it. RM15

The other dish which I did not manage to snap the pic but the client want us to try is the ‘Fried Lamb Meat,Liver and Kidney’ which once I had a mouth of it, I wanted to ask for more. The Highly Recommend by me. RM35

The other one would be ‘Potato Chicken Tagen‘. The chicken was well cook to softness and not very spicy but taste very mild. Perfect to eat with the rice for a good dish opener. RM15

‘Mixed Grill’ was highly recommended by the client, mentioning we should not miss this. So my friend she ordered this with a mixture of Lamb,Chicken and Beef(if not mistaken). Although it is a bit too dry for the lamb but the aroma is there. If were abit juicy, wow, it just taste perfect. The chicken is tenduri chicken, so nothing much to comment on that as it taste normal and lastly it was a roll of beef which taste so soft and tender, taste like specially marinated. The best of all compare to the other 2. RM35

‘Madby Lamb’ which is also highly recommend by the client. Which I totally agree with him. Although it is not very big place and the lamb is only 4 pieces which honestly cant really even fill my stomach if there were no pita bread entree.

The lamb was well marinated, and the taste of the lamb smell is not strong which some people don like and I prefer the taste or smell is stronger. The meat was grilled to perfection, juicy and soft which again were thought to use hand instead of cutleries. Finish my dish and I was hunting for more, look at my friend’s dish see whether I can try to taste her portion. RM35

‘Grilled Prawn’ RM45 Never had a chance to try this but it sure do look very good and taste nice as the feedback came over that the prawn is very fresh.

‘BBQ Chicken-AL Diafah Rice’ The chicken taste normal, nothing much to comment. To me it is more like a tendori chicken. RM20

‘AL Diafah Rice’ The rice is very very nice. The taste of it and the aroma when you eat it with the main dish or the entree you eat. It goes along very well. Was not too dry or oily. RM7

‘Ping Pong’ By the name itself it sure do sounds very funny. The 2 desert was highly recommend by the client saying that we must try and insist we must. I always thought that their desert would be very sweet but then turns out to be not. But to me after heavy eating I feel that I cant really taste this desert, taste more like the stall at Pavilion selling yau char kuai with the ball ball thing. Taste not much different. RM6

When I saw this, I was very happy, I thought it was Cinamon stick. Turns out to be not. It is someting soft soft do not really know how to describe. It is ‘Tamaribnd’ RM6

While we were eating the client was telling us about some culture exchange of what they have and adopt in Egypt that I want to post it as another part as I find it very interesting. Part 2, coming soon.

I must seriously say that Egyptions, they are a good food eater. They just eat and eat alot. After all the food on the table, they went off to another table to enjoy themself with a cup of tea and desert.

Because of their very good service, and ambience and the food quality not the very best, they deserve it which I also think that their pricing is okay. Total bill came out to RM415

Food rating 9/10 , – Above Average, Recommended~
